He's on a Pierce level of joke writing, but in a sad room by himself. https://youtu.be/It3PyrRPXk8

He's even below that, since Pierce can at least tell that his jokes are lacking and he decides to secretly hire some writers.

Elon could obviously afford to hire any writer he wants, yet he clearly hasn't done so. I guess his sense of humor is so bad that he genuinely thinks he is posting zingers.

I figure it's about half that, half his ego can't handle the idea that there are things his gigantic computer brain can't actually do well. After all, he's rish bish and all his dickriders tell him his meme game is strong; there's no field of human accomplishment he can't excel in![1] He doesn't need writers, he's Elon Musk! All shall love him and despair!

Elon is extremely racist and loves when people post "proof" that blacks are the real racists.

Doesn't show on the embed, but the original tweet got a community notes on it that it's from 2005.

The "even" isn't qualifying that it's slightly odd to talk about an old video. The "even" is doing the heavy lifting that says racism still existed in 2005 so it is more allowable for black people to threaten us, but we have solved racism in the intervening 17 years.

that’s not what statistical significance is. sample size effects degrees of freedom which is part of the calculation for statistical significance of a coefficient but it’s not statistical significance itself. are you thinking of a random sample being representative?

I'm still curious what Elon's plan was on that stage. Did he have a couple of minutes of material he wanted to try out? Was he going to improvise some crowd work?

What was the plan, Elon?

But how do we measure hazard given time is actually continuous? In their seminal paper, Cox & Box (1976) unveiled the continuous-time hazard model. What a pair!

Honestly I feel like I’m missing something here. Isn’t the whole point of the “that’s what she said” line that it is something seemingly innocuous that takes on a different (usually sexual) meaning if you imagine it said by a woman talking to a man? How does anything in the OP fit that joke structure? It’s so bafflingly unfunny that it makes me thing I have been misunderstanding the line for my whole life…

By now you've probably concluded that Elon saw the word "hard" and attempted a spectacularly failed "that's what she said" joke. So you're not missing something, Elon is just even worse at telling jokes than you thought.

Then a new challenger appears:

So now there's a guy who sees not a joke, but a comeback. One of the best comebacks ever, in fact. This is where I'm starting to smell burnt toast and my vision begins to blur.

I thought you were suppose to seek medical attention at fevers 101 or higher, is the new standard higher?

That's old numbers for recommendation and generally good advice, but the only number considered important in terms of fever is 106°F(41.1°C) as that's the "your body is cooking/disassembling from the heat" number and they probably have to stick you on ice to get it down.

COVID19 loving up the hospital admissions really did a fucky wucky on the standards and margins for home care, as well as emergency admissions with regards to fevers.
