I knew a actual honest to god genius pre-internet, he was the designer of those multi-blade razors for Gillette and he was the opposite of Musk in every way. Just as nerdy looking and I've no doubt he was utterly incapable of looking after himself, man was obsessed with learning and testing his knowledge and would need reminding to eat just because he got so into whatever book or paper he was reading - he lived in hotels so there would be someone there to present him with food and remind him to bathe. This is what musk sees himself as but no, taking shitloads of drugs and falling down a Wikipedia hole is not the same thing as the real deal.

that tweet about him blocking it seemed false cause i was able to see it last night. i mean he may have blocked it but if he did it probably wasn't long

He might’ve tried to block it, declared success after doing effectively nothing, and moved on to whatever the next stupid thing was to catch his attention.

Or he physically unplugged something else, there’s nothing so stupid he could do that we can immediately rule out anymore.

Twitter seems to be a pretty different experience at the moment depending on which parts of the maimed server racks serve the microservices you currently are trying to get data from.

What’s with the moon and star on the flag? Someone in the replies asked about why the Ottoman Empire symbol was on there and I actually don’t know, I just reflexively assumed that type of symbology was an antisemitic thing.

Naturally, nobody is answering him on the symbol and instead they’re all fixated on the rainbow part and how straight people don’t have a flag.

deep in the poo poo online nazis from like 4chan really hate Turks for reasons i don't remember. probably because the see themselves as crusaders or something?

I no longer have a Twitter account but ended up there after following a link, scrolled down to the "here's what else is on Twitter" and saw three memes posted by Elon, five photos of cats from some "photos of cats" account, and everything else was in Arabic

The thing they always seem to gloss over is that science works on evidence and repeatable situations, and can usually tell that whatever dumb stuff you are pushing is bunk.

Not exactly shocked this guy thinks Wojacks are positively hilarious since he clearly browses 4chan almost as much as he browses twitter. Guy desperately wants to be in with the anime/gamer crowd for years too, but only the absolute weirdo ironic shitbag side of those fandoms. Pretty sure Genshin Impact dodged a PR bullet by actually not having him in their game, but it still has that character Ella Musk that's named after him that wants nothing more in life but to bond with the games equivalent of the Mario franchises Goombas and hisses in their language to herself in the library when she thinks nobody is around to hear it. They got torched for that particular bit of PR and that was before Elon went all out right wing shitlord.

I stumbled upon this subreddit that seems ok:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/

It's basically a "lol, Tesla and Elon lie about everything" sub, but it also focuses on EVs in general compared to Teslas and the lovely leadership and quality of the cars.

Imagine being an Elon simp and believing this guy has a PhD in Physics (he doesn't, but he lied that he was working on one at a school he was never accepted into), and seeing how he's "just asking questions." If someone as smart and amazing as Elon thinks something is corrupt, it must be!!!

The idea has been around since back in the reddit redpill, MGTOW, and incel sub days. They had zero understanding of Islam, but absolutely loved the surface-level tropes of arranged marriages, four wives, and women as accessory pieces they could own, control, and beat. They just couldn't accept that they'd have to give up some other things (alcohol, bacon) to convert. The current manosphere has gone a different direction and I'm not sure what the average sentiment is anymore since keeping tabs on it will destroy all my algorithms.

Elon Musk admits to making mistakes in his first 6 weeks of owning Twitter: 'Hey, I just got here, man.'


https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-admits-making-mistakes-160241478.html?guccounter=1

Elon Musk gave the "All-In" podcast a gently self-deprecating review of his tenure at Twitter.

He defended his fast decision-making on slashing headcount and putting out new features.

But he quipped that it would be "pretty embarrassing and sad" if the moves tanked the site.

"In the beginning, we'll make, obviously, a lot more mistakes, because I'm new to — Hey, I just got here, man," he said on the "All-In" podcast show posted on Saturday. "I think we'll have fewer gaffes in the future," he said.

Musk pitched a baseball metaphor, telling Friedberg, "We're going to swing for the fences here at Twitter, and we're going to do it quickly," even if it means having to "strike out a bit more."

Musk also defended a new "views" feature that Twitter unveiled this month to show how many people saw a particular tweet, which many users criticized for cluttering the interface. He said it was a "lot harder feature to implement than you'd think."

Musk also acknowledged that Twitter continues to have "a fair number of bots in the system" — an apparent pet cause he'd leveraged in trying to back out of buying the platform — but said he's since made "a lot of steps to reduce the bots and troll situation."
