Hes a fascist piece of poo poo OP. i think he did get punched a bit, but nowhere near enough. He's always out there inciting violence towards anyone he considers 'left' (as in, directly provided kill lists to a terrorist group).

Ironically, he'd be up against the wall fairly quickly in a fascist dictatorship but here we are.

He also just lost a recent lawsuit where he got caught on the stand lying about his encounters with Antifa

Is there any practical reason for spaces over tabs anyway? I thought most IDEs just autocompleted tabs to 4 spaces as standard?

Tabs are apparently a lot better for accessibility/for blind developers using screen readers.

He's a minor asian token that got ultra brain damage when antifa hit him with a concrete milkshake nuke.

also might also be gay? also also some recent posts talked about how he said he got bullied in college (berkeley??) and goons instantly called bs because its a famously chill college and he was likely being a regressive shitlord.

A fascist parading as a journalist who would edit videos of other fascists attacking protestors to try to make the fascists look like the victims when people started fighting back. He was also caught on video helping plan an attack on protestors.

I've been a computer programmer for over 60 years now and I can tell you right away that after a while you get a 6th sense for good and bad code. Good code has a certain something about it. A taste, a smell. The lines are that tiny little bit straighter and the colors more pronounced. The spaces are more even. It's hard to point your finger at it, but when you see it, you know. I bet Musk, as a programmer veteran himself, can see it too. I trust him with the firings.

Sarcasm aside musk was never a great programmer and people who coded with him have said he was a pretty poor coder.

The fact that they fired based on commit sizes is a good indicator of that too

I have to say, I knew Musk was an idiot and an rear end in a top hat but it's still surprising how quickly he went mask off with straight up fash poo poo. It's not weird that he is, just that he would suddenly stopped pretending otherwise.

There are two really funny things to me about this whole shitshow:

1. Elon Musk, "Mr. 4Chan CultureBro", can't take even the slightest trolling or ribbing and immediately resorts to the ban hammer if anyone mildly disagrees with him or jokes about him, to the point he is the most thinned skinned soft Adult Son on the planet. He literally replies to every person making fun of or disagreeing with "no u" or outright suspensions, every single hour of his day, while anyone agreeing with him or singing his praises gets "Yes I am very handsome. Correct". Even loving Donnie never bothered responding to no-name randos trying to troll him, and he couldn't even suspend or ban people. Less of a loving thick skin then Donald Trump.

2. The loving Antifa Progroms these morons want on Twitter just proves what we have always said about them: for all their talk of "free speech" an equal seat at the table, they just want an echo chamber to rant and rave and say the N Word, but they lose ALL of the people they want to rant and rave at anytime they remotely gain power, because they always go full fash. Regressives loving suck at making content themselves and their only source of generation is owning the libs, but they are just turning Twitter into even worse Facebook and driving all their content generation away. Look at how bored all the boomers and chuds are on Truth Social with no one to shout slurs at.

Just LMAO at how stupid chuds and Musk are

I've seen this but I have also directly replied to him calling him names and insulting his lack of intelligence and he hasn't slapped me yet. I think that means I should keep doing it and so should all of you, imo.

"I Was a Starter Wife": Inside America's Messiest Divorce

In the middle of her headline-grabbing divorce settlement from Elon Musk, Justine Musk reveals the truth about her marriage to the multimillionaire cofounder of PayPal, Tesla Motors, and SpaceX.


https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/

In the late spring of 2008, my wealthy entrepreneurial husband, Elon Musk, the father of my five young sons, filed for divorce. Six weeks later, he texted me to say he was engaged to a gorgeous British actress in her early 20s who had moved to Los Angeles to be with him. Her name is Talulah Riley, and she played one of the sisters in 2005's Pride and Prejudice. Two of the things that struck me were: a) Pride and Prejudice is a really good movie, and b) My life with this man had devolved to a cliché.

At least she wasn't blonde. I found that refreshing.

Still, there were warning signs. As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, "I am the alpha in this relationship." I shrugged it off, just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement, but as time went on, I learned that he was serious. He had grown up in the male-dominated culture of South Africa, and the will to compete and dominate that made him so successful in business did not magically shut off when he came home. This, and the vast economic imbalance between us, meant that in the months following our wedding, a certain dynamic began to take hold. Elon's judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. "I am your wife," I told him repeatedly, "not your employee."

"If you were my employee," he said just as often, "I would fire you."

He was 10 weeks old, the age when male infants are most susceptible to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead. He spent three days on life support in a hospital in Orange County before we made the decision to take him off it. I held him in my arms when he died.

Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada's death. I didn't understand this, just as he didn't understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as "emotionally manipulative." I buried my feelings instead, coping with Nevada's death by making my first visit to an IVF clinic less than two months later.

I barely recognized myself. I had turned into a trophy wife — and I sucked at it. I wasn't detail-oriented enough to maintain a perfect house or be a perfect hostess. I could no longer hide my boredom when the men talked and the women smiled and listened. I wasn't interested in Botox or makeup or reducing the appearance of the scars from my C-sections. And no matter how many highlights I got, Elon pushed me to be blonder. "Go platinum," he kept saying, and I kept refusing.

Elon agreed to enter counseling, but he was running two companies and carrying a planet of stress. One month and three sessions later, he gave me an ultimatum: Either we fix this marriage today or I will divorce you tomorrow, by which I understood he meant, Our status quo works for me, so it should work for you. He filed for divorce the next morning. I felt numb, but strangely relieved.

Eight years after I signed the postnup, I began to understand just what I'd done. I had effectively signed away all my rights as a married person, including any claim to community property except our house, which was to be vested in my name once we had a child.

But I thought this wasn't a right wing takeover of twitter? Elon? He legit seems more interested in right wing bullshit right now than running a successful company with real growth potential.

There is a predominant type of centrist that is actually just right wing but saying they have no team/position makes them feel smart and superior.

All these assholes whining about the scary, violent left needs to shut the loving gently caress up until they acknowledge every goddamn right wing mass murderer that pops up every goddamn week.

But they think those constant mass murders are ok because "conservative" and the left deserves it. But if you push back against their constant murders, they label you a criminal antifa terrorist. So loving SICK of these disingenuous pricks.
