Whoops, quote is not edit.

But guess I'll add this - although it's in service of a lovely joke, he went ahead and also posted the "Voltaire" quote that's actually from a Nazi, so neato.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1662508369234608128

I thought I was having deja vu here because I could’ve sworn he’d already posted this and it turns out he did, last year, was told it was a Nazi quote and, I believe, deleted it but here it is again. Truly his political leanings are an enigma

Edit: sure enough, someone brought receipts

I mean can you imagine going through life always wondering whether X new person actually likes you or is just trying to get into your circle so you'll give them money?

My entire life has been defined by me wondering whether so-and-so only likes me because I can draw and will provide them with free art. Over and over someone will start a conversation with me and it'll seem all normal and then five minutes into it they'll be like "hey could you draw ___ for me?" Which I'm happy to do but it fucks with your ability to be emotionally open with people. I can only imagine what it would be like if I had a billion loving dollars and some rando pinged me on Telegram

this isn't a request for you to draw one, i just want to know if that's something you're able to do or not

there is also something to be said about putting commonly used controls directly on the wheel in cars. i don't see any issues with having the wipers/blinker/light/hvac/stereo/driver's window all controlled from the steering wheel if the controls are implemented in a way that makes them clear from one another and are physical switches or buttons. every time you've gotta remove or relocate a hand is an added risk - ideally when driving a car you'd sit down, put your hands at 9&3 and keep them there until you've parked

But what do you like more, people removing one hand from a wheel or people removing their eyes from the road to see where the controls are on their wheel? Because that's how any controls on the wheel work for me every time. Every time I've used a car with controls on the wheel, I just don't use whatever controls are on the wheel. It's never been anything particularly important, but still. I have never seen them implemented in a way that doesn't mean I have to take my eyes off the road to see what I'm doing. And they've all been physical switches, they just haven't been done in a way I can figure out from feel without fumbling around because my wheel isn't perfectly straight at the moment or always hitting the wrong one first.

There's something to be said for a switch that's always in one place. A mobile switch is so annoying.

He’s just playing the long game. To get us off this planet and to Mars, first he has to change the dialogue. How does he do that? Well, see, the left already recognizes the climate emergency we’re in, so they shouldn’t need convincing to evacuate. But the diehard right? that requires a culture change.

So he buys Twitter, pretends to engage in petty online drama and right wing talking points. He has to do it gradually - and with occasional setbacks to throw people off the scent of this being intentional - to earn their trust. But he knows he has to galvanize the cause quickly; his fleet of Teslas will slow climate change only so far, so he must dive headlong into the right wing community. Once he wins them to his cause, he slowly pivots the conversation to getting to Mars, inception-ing the right wingers to push for a migration of our people off-world.

That’s where SpaceX comes in of course. But let’s be honest with ourselves - how is your average person going to tolerate the seven month trip to Mars? Especially when they’ve got so much to learn for when they reach the other side. BasedAI can teach them a lot, but it will take time.. and time is a luxury we are running sorely short on. If only there were a way to help them directly interface with all this new knowledge they’d need. Some kind of neural link…

Where does the boring company fit in? Well, terraforming mars didn’t happen in a day, as they say. The technology we build here will save incalculable time for when we need to build hyperloops on mars.

Then, once all the levers are in motion, once it’s to late to slow the inevitable march of mankind onwards and upwards to Mars, he humbly and quietly disappears from the public consciousness and lets his greatest triumph speak for itself, through the lips of others.

This is sooo dumb. Completely reversing climate change, like back to pre-industrial co2 levels, is like a billion times easier and energy efficient than terraforming Mars. Not to mention the long term plan of moving everyone from an arguably overpopulated planet to a smaller planet. That doesn’t solve anything at all!

Thank you to all my esteemed committee members for weighing in on this. We're going to go ahead and let Elon shoot himself in the balls. Take no action if you see him doing this. We're going to laugh at Elon as usual until that happens.

I want to take this opportunity to say I agree with the committee's decision wholeheartedly. For too long, the government has nursed Elon musk on its teet. But the we shouldn't be in the business of picking winners. Now we can return to the important business of investigating Benghazi.

Anyway I’m still working as an intern of software engineering at Twitter (Elon refers to us as softies internally, much to our dismay and anger )

So I had a strange predicament today at my job, where most of you who have been following me know it as the Twitter HQ. I was working on a back channel encrypted node for what my team leader said was to be utilized by lesser nodes on second side chain server block, and I let her know that I had to make a fart, like she kept going on and on. Like I had to go NOW, to fart in the bathroom, or else! She just stares at me the entire fucken time!!! So I what right there and was like I’m staying here until overtime lady, let’s see what happens lol

edit: hearing people bash MS for accessibility is very interesting because one arm of MS, the Xbox division, is really pushing accessibility far beyond anything before. I would never have guessed it so lovely on their other products. Sorry to hear that.

Accessibility doesn't make money so it's always the first thing to go - most corporations will do the bare minimum to not get a lawsuit from one of the various charities that will sue to make things accessible (I know this because a place I worked for got sued over accessibility). To get our internal products accessible I actually got a ton of developers to do a hackday (where we don't have to follow management dictats) and just go through and make things keyboard navigable, screen-reader compatible and all that good stuff.

The turn signal being on the wheel is even dumber in countries with roundabouts - you’ll often have the wheel turned to one side then need to signal in the opposite direction before manoeuvring to leave the roundabout. This would involve looking for where the button is on the wheel then jabbing at it with a finger or awkwardly moving your hand round the wheel (or even worse the ‘yoke’), while trying to check your exits clear, steering round a big circle, and generally doing all the other stuff involved in a roundabout.

Security assures me they will be able to confine musk to his bed for long enough for the procedure to work, they will use a nylon/teflon mix of braces this time as he was able to gnaw through the leather ones at an alarming pace and we were forced to abort, fortunately he belived us when we said it was jerky and thanked us for the snack.
