It’s my understanding that Musk was well known for writing lovely code that often had to be refactored so that other devs on the team could use it

Well that's calming to hear, I'd hate to think he's a more accomplished coder than me.

I'm guilty of doing this. I dunno I hate "im g4m3r" defenses for dumb behavior so I try not to do it in professional settings, but also it is what moba text chat looks like

He's really arrogant, doesn't collaborate well with folks unless he feels that he and his vision is front and center, and has punlicly poo poo on friends of mine doing organizing in tech from a position of stunning ignorance. Also one time we were trying to get him on board with signing a solidarity statement with a group of tech workers who got laid off right after voting to unionize (and they eventually got the NLRB to smack their old employer on the wrist and also pay them money) and he hemmed and hawed and eventually said he didn't know enough about the situation to sign on, just absolutely pathetic. I mean I've read some stuff of his I liked, just...less so after meeting him lmao

I can believe it. lots of highly opinionated people are huge pricks in person, even when they have Good and Correct opinions. and the guy is pretty much a solo dev on his pinboard operation, so it's not like he does teamwork all the time. never meet your idols.

regardless, the point was that cohost says a lot of stuff that's in opposition to the copyright grab in their ToS. IMO it's worth giving them the benefit of the doubt if they get it fixed. (but also don't upload original art or creative output or anything else you consider worth owning until they do.)

Didn’t he already lose some position at Tesla for smoking pot on Joe Rogan? Was it Chairman or something?

Had nothing to do with smoking pot and everything to do with tweeting "taking tesla private at $420 per share, funding secured", which was a lie and illegal fraud. The SEC sued and forced him to be removed.

twitter literally cost him his CEO position and yet he still can't. stop. tweeting.

the troubles in his relationship with grimes also seemed to start when he started tweeting right-wing bullshit, and he probably came across those opinions on twitter to begin with. twitter has taken everything from him

I'm honestly a bit surprised he hasn't popped up ITT yet to tell us just how not owned he is.
Maybe he's actually really possessed by Lowtax's ghost and avoids the forums like the plague.

It's sad how Esther has no idea how much she's being abused.

The only way she'll get out is if she's laid off or fired. Which, maybe even musk is not stupid enough to do.
