Agreed. But since Trump is hopelessly stupid and unfunny I fear he’ll eventually cave.

I don't doubt Trump will ultimately cave, it's funny that it's been more than 48 hours and he hasn't returned and elon's now posting porn memes to goad him. imagine being rich yet debasing yourself this way

Yes, and he has a Doctorate in Knowing That, but still decided that he’s an extra-special case and that doesn't apply to him.

And IIRC the tell-all about jorp is from a member of the board of the University of Toronto who pushed for him to be a professor because he was just so dazzled by jorp's “showmanship” (read: unwarranted confidence).

Not at all dissimilar to how people believe Musk is smart because Musk believes he's the smartest guy on earth and it takes actual thought to examine what he's saying.

the more elon taunts him to come back, the weaker it will make trump look if he does, so i'm not at all convinced he'll do it

maybe elon is trying to have his cake and eat it too or something... invite trump back to appeal to the free speech crowd, but hoping he actually won't because he would immediately steal the spotlight from musk. probably giving musk too much credit, he's no polytopia master.

Nah, he's let Andrew Tate and Kanye back on as well, Elon's firmly in the headspace of thinking free speech drives engagement, and having three of the horsemen of fuckwittery ride in together will make everyone flock to Twitter to witness the spectacle.

And Elon'll be cool because he made it happen!! :yayclod:

Trump knows how to handle people who beg for his attention, if it wasn't clear to Elon by how Trump's sons have turned out.

If you're just asking questions, it's just a second account where you post stuff you'd never want you friends and family to see. Some people show their faces, some don't, some 🙈 their (|), and some don't.

Also you probably wouldn't have to look to hard to see some don't if you search 裏垢男子instead

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Apparently I had a Twitter account from over 10 years ago that I never used. I must have made it when I was blackout drunk. I only noticed because I searched my email and found out that it was hacked like 5 years ago.

Anyway, I took it back just to tell LibsOfTikTok to gently caress off.

I'm just going to burn it by shouting into the void at the worst people in the world, I guess.

I'll never understand the appeal of vehicles that can have software failures for basic things like 'the headlights'. Any other car you could just keep a spare and change it yourself, but for this modern piece of genius, you need to wait for the company to release an update and potentially break something else, like its ability to recognise certain ethnicities of people at pedestrian crossings.

Olds complaining about how "cars these days have too many computers" was precious when they just had engine control units and poo poo. I'll admit it gets pretty dumb when you have to worry about making sure your car can get Wi-Fi updates for mundane poo poo like making sure your lights work properly.

Edit: For $14.95 you get left and right indicators. Best value!

Or you could always buy lootboxes with the premium currency you get from driving I suppose, and hope to get the feature you want.

Apparently the coma treatment isn't even that effective which is why, along with the whole 'inducing an artificial coma' thing is actually, as he found out, quite dangerous. Why no reputable clinic would do it and he ended up going to some no rules place who promptly hosed it up.

Yeah but otoh literally no other cars are built in such a way because only Tesla could have such a mind-bendingly stupid design flaw

And I say design flaw not referring to the bug but to the fact that whether or not the brake lights turn on is subject to car's software functioning properly, what the gently caress

any idiot would just have it fail-safe to always on and then link the brake lights to physical pressure on the pedal

Cold-turkey benzo withdrawal causes brain damage*. This is known. The coma may or may not have added its own issues.
