why is he even doing any of this? Did someone doubt the number of views on one of his posts so he just demanded this feature?
This winds up coming across to me like he thinks everybody should be doing 50 identical one-word reply tweets everyday like he does, which likely boosts engagement metrics but also sounds completely loving unreadable.

we should stop giving musky free page visits and just screencap his bird shits. (or just copy paste his text posts so I dont see his stupid face/current avatar)

Again "screencap your enemies, repost your friends" , make DA ALGORITHM think musky isnt worthy of promotion. Also goons should download the browser extension that cleans up URLs /dletes tracking poo poo from birdlinks.

Iirc Elon personally ordered the removal of LIDAR from teslas because it was 'too hard' to integrate that data with the camera data and determine which to pay attention to.

So now the camera is the only source of relevant information to the system and it does weird poo poo like think the moon is a yellow light, a motorcycle right in front of you at night is a car hundreds yards away, and a well lit child in the middle of a crosswalk doesn't exist

I wonder if that's why he's doing the one-word replies, as an attempt to single-handedly drive engagement and run up tweets per user or something only a Musk brain could come up with

Why would Elon have known anything about that and made a decision that involved anything to do with technical problem solving?

I’m sure the actual reason is a lot simpler

The new views feature doesn't look for duplicate hits from the same IP, so you can literally just have a browser refresh a tweet forever and get massive views and no other interactions. An even more useless metric than we thought.

There is an actual reason behind it, he's trying to up the numbers, so he'll use that to pitch it to advertisers.

Broken? Who cares. The more the better! It'll make advertises think Musk is a success if they see a huge view count.

Sure, they're being shown to white nationalist, hate groups, religious crazies and other of Musk friends but as long as they see those sweet sweet numbers and are happy that's what counts in the end.

Eyes on the product!

A car that can semi drive itself but you gotta jump in and prevent it from killing people is such a pain in the rear end. So many new features on things are in that vein, but teslas just look like the ultimate internet of things juicer vehicle.

I met a guy with a tesla a while ago and he showed a group of us the christmas rock orchestra thing, it describes the era elon is stuck in pretty well. I remember back maybe 2005 highschool when dorks would geek over that type of music

Honestly, making impressions more visible and leaving it open enough for a whole bunch of people can gently caress with the numbers, to up the impressions, sounds a bit to well thought out than musks typical stuff.

Like I wouldn't put it past him, but as generally his more of a just half rear end it and get it done type poo poo head, I feel more likely that yeah it's like this cause he just quickly half assed it.
