It’s extra loving perplexing, because it’s not as if Europe is some terra incognita for Musk. Tesla has a humongous factory outside of Berlin. He knows German and European labor law very well, he’s just an rear end in a top hat who doesn’t give a poo poo about people.

The weirdo Right Wingers trying to spin how a high court in its own country ruling on established labor law precedent in a logical way is somehow out of line continues to show how desynced they are with the rest of the civilized world. Just zero shits given about any process anywhere that doesn't align with their ideaology.

Ireland is traditionally the number one EU country for letting tech companies do whatever the gently caress they want so I imagine Elon was pretty surprised the Irish government suddenly decided to grow a spine in this.

Ireland is fine with giving them big tax breaks and playing fast with planning regulations on building data centres, but they're not going to gently caress around with employment law or GDPR violations.

You're assuming Elmo actually is involved in running Tesla beyond being a hype-man for their stock and demanding "innovations" like the cybertruck.

Tesla likely has a very competent legal and HR department that knows EU labor laws inside and out and functions completely independently of the child king. The equivalent team at twitter was fired or quit.

I’ll echo what dr lol lmao said upthread - any fuckery with bones is inviting bacteria and all sorts of other wonders just waiting to get to the yummy human insides. Also, the human body really dislikes having foreign poo poo shoved into the bloodstream and will fight tooth and nail to remove it. Implants, pacers, screws - there’s five rejection and infection stories for every 10 of them. The future where everyone implants poo poo willy nilly up their rear end doesn’t exist.

Yeah, for people living with disabilities still possibly despite all that it's possible this type of technology could still produce very real quality of life improvements, but for the next few decades, at the very least, it's going to be a huge process, with lots of serious issues involved.

But yeah musk stans really do seem to believe were a year or two away from a log into the matrix chip.

That Tim Pool interview with Ye was hilarious

paraphrased:
Tim: The people who own the media have demonized you.
Ye: Yeah and we know who owns the media.
Tim: Well yeah, but like globalists.
Ye: No you know who we're talking about.
Tim: Well we're not talking about anyone specific outside of globalists.
Ye: Why can't you just say who we're talking about?

It's funny as gently caress watching right wingers try and codetalk and Kanye is just like "we mean the jews"

so how exactly is Elon going to take Twitter on path to profitability now that he's destroyed Twitter's actual revenue source (ads)

is he just gonna put in like $2bil of his own $$$ into twitter per year to keep running it as the equivalent of owning a newspaper or something?
