Maya Fey posted:it's paywalled ah that makes more sense. thanks pal  quote:Isaacson lets this stuff slide, and his admiration for Musk, like his prose style, grows wet and hack-like and embarrassing as a result. He describes Musk as “a master of memes” even though his entire vocabulary is pinched wholesale from Monty Python. He reflexively compares Musk’s stature (a shade over six-foot) to a bear. As a teen he was already sprouting a “bear-like frame.” Hunched gaunt under stark office lighting, Musk looks “coiled like a bear searching for prey.” On the production line at Tesla, he would “walk with the stride of a mission-driven bear.” That last phrase calls to mind Winnie the Pooh looking for hunny, but is undone by the fact that we’ve all seen those photographs: Musk gasping on the back deck of a yacht, in tugged-up soggy trunks, being playfully hosed by Ari Emmanuel (impresario brother of Rahm), and looking for all the world like a clammy piglet. Less ursine, more porcine. loving shades of "he was built like a bear of a man" from ben shapiro's lovely tom clancy wannabe novel

How many journalists did he ban reporting in the kid who was posting his flight locations? How many leftists/anti-fascist reporters are still banned? Didn’t he straight up ban a few high profile accounts that are critical of him/Tesla? Also throttling legacy media links. Very free speechy

Salvor_Hardin posted:The Defector had a solid review of the Musk Book: https://defector.com/not-even-the-patron-stooge-of-fawning-biographies-can-make-elon-musk-look-good quote:The California Air Resources Board operated a regulatory credit scheme designed to encourage automakers to shift to electric vehicles. At least one percent of a manufacturer’s yearly sales had to be cars with zero emissions. If they failed to make this target, they would be fined. To avoid being fined, car companies could buy Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) credits from other companies that were meeting the requirements. Like Tesla. Musk set up an extremely profitable sideline trade in ZEV credits with the huge Detroit-based car makers, who found themselves liable for serious penalties in California. From 2009 until as late as 2016, Tesla was being propped up by hundreds of millions of dollars in ZEV credit trading lol, of course America would implement a move away from fossil fuel cars as a credit scheme that can be gamed, and which encourages production of more cars than before.

Rauros posted:those monkey experiments were at the california national primate research center in davis which raises even more questions Yeah it's pretty shocking. When I first heard about the experiments I figured neuralink had their own lab etc but nope they're working with UC Davis with it. So presumably this has all been vetted and okayed. And apparently killing a bunch of primates and showing zero progress is enough to progress to human trials.
