So I first thought he meant he had a kids magician for a childhood birthday and he adopted the rabbit, but no this was a birthday when he was in his 40s. How long do we think that rabbit lived?

AFAIK he has never mentioned a pet rabbit before that post so, as they say, what does your heart tell you?

Juul-Whip posted:AFAIK he has never mentioned a pet rabbit before that post so, as they say, what does your heart tell you? There's a good chance that "adopted" means "purchased by Neuralink". Poor Thumper...  I had a long drive yesterday and got through the entire 4-parter by the Tech Won't Save Us podcast about Musk. It's a really good take-down of his horrific business practices, his technological ignorance, his bullshit-spinning and, really, his complete awfulness as a human being. And it does a good job of calling out all the people and organisations (and the system in general) that enabled Musk to get where he is with all the "Real-world Tony Stark  " stuff.There's a brilliant compilation of Musk insisting that full, zero-input, coast-to-coast self driving will be available 'next year' across multiple years, and some credulous soft-ball interviewer just going "Wow!" each time. It also features a lot of (too many) clips of Musk actually talking and, wow, he really is a charisma void. There are some bits of him speaking during his Zip2 days and it's incredible that he was able to convince anyone to give him so much as a cent.

The rabbit would have wanted to advance science, and Musk's profits.

How long do we think that rabbit lived? To quote Nailbunny from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: ""You bought me from the pet store, fed me once, and then nailed me to the wall; THREE YEARS AGO. I dont have to imagine."" Just replace "pet store" with "magician".

Christ, I ended up stumbling upon Shivon Zilis’s twitter (currently known as x) account, and it’s just full of the most credulous, surface level posting about scientific ideas along with vaguely related mentions of video games and occasionally Polytopia. Not a single sign of a critical thought. She’s perfect for Musk so I understand why he insisted on having kids with her. Just some of the cringiest people on the planet

Yeah, goddamn, that's hosed up. Even if he bought the rabbit (and that's not how he phrased it) that's a lovely situation to put the magician in. What's he going to do, say no to the rich guy? "So, haha, I can keep the rabbit, right?" "Well, uh, she's not really for sale. I've had her for years and-" "Oh, but it's so cute! I want it. Besides, haha, you've still got that hat. Can always just pull out another one, can't you?" "Y-yeah. Yeah, for sure. That's a good point, sir! But I'd still like to keep my-" "It's my birthday."

ben shapino posted:we are going to have to come up with new words to describe how pathetic this poo poo is, like normal english just doesn't even come close Exactly what I was going to say upon reading this, my gorge rose When I was like 8 I held a "paper airplane olympics" at my house because I had a book about paper airplanes that suggested it. Like 10 friends/classmates came over and we had various paper airplane events, some involving speed/accuracy, some involving tricks and loops and things. I made up a PAO logo and pasted it up all over the house with bunting and poo poo. I made up 1st/2nd/3rd place prize ribbons for the winners and had a whole points system set up for tabulating the results. But because it was my idea and my party and my book, I took the whole thing way too seriously and expected everyone else to do the same, but they were just there to have fun and made one or two basic airplanes on the spot, and I kept winning because I had preemptively made a whole array of specialized airplanes as directed by the book, each one for a specific event. Of course because I had stacked the deck fully in my favor most of them stopped having fun very quickly and got bored and started peeling off to play with each other or watch TV or whatever. I ended up having to chase the 2nd and 3rd place winners down in different rooms to give them their ribbons. I sometimes wake up thinking about that to this day, having learned the lesson that if it's your party you don't spend the whole time awarding yourself trophies, not unless you want everyone to loving loathe you. And yet you know he thinks it's making him more likable, just like I did when that day dawned

When Musk first said he was developing his own AI because the existing ones were too biased and woke, people on this thread said that his problem with ChatGPT etc. was that they didn't call Elon Musk the greatest, most perfect thing in human history and that's how he knew they were flawed. And that Musk's idea of a good AI would just be a chatbot that spewed out how awesome Elon Musk was. I thought they were being humorously hyperbolic. But it seems they weren't. There really seems to be no lower limit to how pathetic and unselfaware he can be. It's incredible to see. The bit that got the visceral bile-rising cringe reaction from me was when Musk said that "Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don't use it if you hate humor!". Just purestrain late-2000s Redditor-brain. So edgy! It's just a joke! If you object to n-words and f-words you just don't have a sense of humour! And the classic confusion of wit and sarcasm. Funny sarcasm actually requires some sort of empathy and understanding of the audience and/or target, and Musk has absolutely none.

hemale in pain posted:All EV sellers do this so much it's probably illegal but no one seems to do anything about it Less "illegal" and more "that whole bullshit about miles per gallon, but they make you think highway MPG(the efficient one) is city MPG(the poo poo rate one)" which car companies now have to clarify if they're talking city or highway because they pulled that scam back in... 2006 or so? Yeah, even then, Lonnie is behind the curve, cribbing the pre-regulations numbers massaging. 3D Megadoodoo posted:If he found out about this thread he'd have Jeffrey assassinated.

It's just "the rabbit", because that's how pet owners talk about their beloved pets. On the bright side I think it’s highly likely there never was a pet rabbit and he just made that story up as yet another example of his limitless charity and selfless love for all living things. And of course his zany sense of humour, his legendary knack for off-the-cuff goofs and gags. What a card!

What is it with goons and thinking Musk sockpuppets literally every account? Linda is pushing 60 years old, she has a background in advertising, and is just a bland rear end person. That's exactly how I would expect her to post about anything.
