between the attempted us foreign policy interference he was doing with taiwan & ukraine earlier this year and the starlink fit he threw, combined with his new negligence with costing lockmart investors a shitton of money, i feel like the DoD/MIC is simply waiting until they don't need starlink to turbofuck musk. i mean I'm not the pentagon, but if i were, I'd be pissed as hell at him right now and wanting to make an example out of that kind of behavior

especially if he's already given up operational control of spacex entirely to shotwell and probably gonna get hit in the money by the FTC doing all this dumb poo poo, it's like, why not?

I always had a feeling SpaceX was going to be a big part of his undoing because of the nature of the work they do vs. the nature of Elon Musk, and the MIC does not like him.

Remember how mad they got about him smoking weed with the security clearances he's got?

dicking the DoD around on contracts for an essential strategic asset and tryna to use it as leverage to undermine foreign policy positions, and implicitly publicly threatening to hamstring a strategic ally engaged in the middle of the most geopolitically important conflict since the Korean War yeah that's prolly gonna piss some people off

loving over your direct competition for the manned & unmanned space industry when they've got way deeper connections than you probably gonna have some important people pretty upset too

lmao I remember when my dad told me I was gonna get his security clearance revoked when he caught me smoking weed when I was 19, oh I know all about the rocket industry in general and, specifically, their abject hatred for him.

Once he started loving with Starlink after talking to Putin on the phone I had a feeling that things were going to start happening on the DoD/MIC front.

Nah, they wouldn't, killing civilians would endanger the private commercial space industry, the govt. wouldn't let that fly

and astronauts are expensive-rear end investments and they have Great job security - you ever hear about astronauts learning how to code? they ain't gonna work for a spaceflight program that's sending them up on deathtraps in the modern era of most people going up coming back down alive

starship having no true launch escape system or way to recover from a catastrophic propulsion -or- control surface -or- staging failure, at any point in a flight, without losing everyone on board, is still a disaster waiting to happen though

Dod explicitly told us not to gently caress with weed even if it was legal in our state because it was still illegal federally and it would gently caress up our clearances. Just like everything else rules for the normal folks but not the elites.

Ah, true, I kind of mentally group all of those threads together since they kind of have the same flavor and I assume we all have them bookmarked. For clarity's sake, the eh week was referring purely to personal life stuff that doesn't matter in this thread, it wasn't a stealth chud remark

If these twitter account impersonations of business are having real time effects on company stocks along with any other economic damage at what point would the Feds step in and shut this poo poo show down? Can they take away the matches from this idiot man child that is Elon Musk?

kazil posted:

Elon's experience with Twitter prior to buying it was probably pretty limited to techbros and cryptobros sucking his rear end in a top hat. He wasn't prepared to deal with everyone just clowning on him

This is also the first company he bought where he believed he doesn't need to hire specialized experts (who cover for his incompetence). He believes himself a master programmer when he has skills that are almost certainly below that of an average entry level programmer. Nobody is in a position to say no to him.

Just wait until som one gets assassinated based on one of these bullshit Twitter fakes doing the do.

Elon has turned the platform into something awful but with 10 people modding the entire thing.

How many loving mode IKs and admins are there anyyway? I feel like it must be in the 100 at least or mid 60s?

Probably close to 60 yeah - I don't have a precise number but there's a decent amount, about roughly equal IKs and mods and seven (I think) admins, and astral but he doesn't admin at all and if you get something on your rapsheet from him it's a Paul Hollywood Handshake/Val Garland "Ding Ding Dong" kind of rarity

So that means,
The amount of people policing this forum is roughly 4 times the amount currently moderating loving Twitter.

followup on musk firing literally the entire japanese staff: tatsuki fujimoto, the author of chainsaw man, one of the most popular manga in the world with a currently airing anime, got his account banned because he made a joke about being seven years old, and twitter just went 'oh okay' and banned him for being underage, even though he had an actual checkmark and was the author of chainsaw man. he is currently trying to get his actual account restored but cannot because twitter's jp customer support doesn't exist and he can only get in touch with people who speak english.

https://twitter.com/ashitaka_eva/status/1591202977607749638

ergo he is tweeting things like 'im really tatsuki fujimoto! please believe me!'
