Hmmmm, I hate think Elon Musk sucks, but I also think Apple is a bad company.... really hoping this somehow ends up hurting both of them.

So just in the last couple of weeks, Musk has tried to bully Apple, Google, and Oracle. Bold move Cotton, let’s see how this plays out

IUG posted:Saw that in another thread, but wanted to thank you for taking the time to screenshot rather than embeds. people really should screencap musk birdposts instead of posting the actual bird link. his posts getting less page visits and other metrics is good. (btw this applies to all bad birdposters. screencap your enemies, repost your friends. then again people should stop using a bad site too , but baby steps)

Main Paineframe posted:Remember how he was threatening to publicly call out companies who cut their Twitter advertising, and how it was extremely obviously a terrible idea? People are already actively trying to lobby Apple to de-list Twitter off the AppStore because of the wave of godawful bullshit Musk has unleashed on the site. I wonder if this might sway their decision in any way?

It's a plastic replica of one of the guns from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Dunno if that makes that picture better or worse, but there it is.

Dunno if that makes that picture better or worse, but there it is. *sigh* that honestly makes it a bit better, sure it looks like a real gun kinda, but that's functionally equivalent of the Star Trek Phaser I got on my bookshelf. The musket, aside from being a musket, also isn't real either. Though that still leaves us with the real questions.... which are all why???

He's going to end his days wandering an empty mansion in the dark, wearing soiled underwear and robe. Muttering to himself and spurting angry gibberish at the walls, followed by random gunshots at the shadows. Basically, pulling a Lowtax. Also, Musk is the type of guy to include cans of Coke in the picture because he wants to hint that he's doing lines.

For as random as the man is, he's equally calculated when it comes to just being an rear end in a top hat who thinks he's being clever.

He responds to random as poo poo "look at cool science thing" twitter accounts all the time, because his entire public persona is crafted to appeal to people who loved Popular Science as kids and never really grew up, and also because he's basically one of those people himself.

Digamma-F-Wau posted:I remember Epic Games v. Apple managed to achieve that, with the judge ruling in favor of Epic on some points but not on others It should be pointed out that Apple v Epic was the same sort of stunt that Musk is trying with Apple. Epic decided to make its Fortnite store available to sell products within the app without linking through Apple and therefore without paying Apple’s cut for sales on Apple products; Apple responded by taking Fortnite off of the App Store. It didn’t matter that Apple was making hundreds of millions a year off of Fortnite already; Apple was fine to take that revenue hit to keep Epic playing by Apple’s rules. That does not seem to be a good precedent in Elon’s favor. And it’s hilarious to me that the CEO of Epic Games is egging Musk on to get revenge against Apple, and Elon is probably going to do it because he’s a manic idiot who wants people to tell him he’s doing super smart things. “Move fast and break stuff!!!!!!”::runs at full speed into a wall, smashes own head in::
