Does elon feel stupid right now? I know if I tried distracting from my “Hitler was right” post by attacking media matters, only for newsguard and people searching heilhitler to prove me wrong immediately, I’d feel pretty stupid. I assume even narcissists would feel some sort of discomfort.

I'm sure it hurts his ego in ways he can't fully repress, but he will definitely react to all the mounting evidence that he is the problem as proof of the depth and vastness of the conspiracy to undermine him, personally, for no adequately explored reason.

It's why the only healthy response to narcissists is to cut them off entirely, you cannot show them the error of their ways. Well I guess a licensed, specialized therapist has the tools to deal with them, but no one is going to drag Elon Musk to that particular trough.

The only thing that musk feels is that he was absolutely right and some loser / traitor at X, the everything app failed him by not implementing his perfect vision flawlessly and exposing him to criticism.

Consider a neural network of comparable complexity to a human brain (which is really loving complex, more so than simply counting neurons would suggest, and far far beyond current hardware).
Go through a full 20-year rearing process similar to a human neonate, duplicating a lot of the internal processes at the same time (such as pruning).
It is conceivable that after trying this enough times you will eventually create something possessing general intelligence.
At this point it is inferior to a regular human while costing fantastically more. But there are two notable points
1) It can now be duplicated endlessly by copying the files
2) it has no rights whatsoever

This is of course incredibly immoral and a violation of every human right ever, but these issues can be dealt with by simply ignoring them.

you can probably shave down quite a bit of the complexity from the fact that you don't have to dedicate large parts of it to controlling sensor/motor neurons spread out over a full human body

Most people live in a world with actions, some mistakes, and consequences.

Narcissists live in a world where they are always perfect and will deny reality to make it so. Consequences for them are entirely unfair, unjust, immoral. They don’t make mistakes, you must be mistaken by thinking that was a bad move on their part.

When Twitter fails, it’ll be because it was always too broken and flawed to fail, no matter how hard God CEO Elon tried. Too woke, bad code, everyone wanted to see him fail because they’re NPC’s.

What’s neat about the Tesla strike is that IF Metal has quite the war chest to keep the strike going, as there’s like iirc just under 200 workers, and a lot of members who pay dues to keep that proverbial war chest going.

There’s also quite the support from people here as well, especially since it’s the goddam :sweden:Svenska:sweden: modellen, how dare a foreign company try and bend the rules.

The only ones crying about the strike are the terminally/temporarily embarrassed billionaires kinda small business types, weird Elon stans and Tesla owners who are turbofucked.

Yeah, with the current number of strikers they said that they have capital for continuing the strike for hundreds of years, no joke. They have enormous coffers.

It does actually benefit him.
He is the kind of scum that goes to a country/state and goes 'I'm looking to open a factory here but its not attractive enough',
and then the states/countries start fighting each other to give the highest tax subsidies and building the factory for him.

I love seeing an entire country give the middle finger to Tesla and Musk and while I want the unions to get everything they want, I also selfishly want to see the company continue to get hosed by the escalating strike because it’s hilarious and one of the few times we see rich assholes get their lickings

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
Musk will keep on desperately screeching on Twitter while IF Metall slurps up any and all attention he flings at them to their actually competent media department, to further the (correct) message that Tesla is loving up the wrong tree here. There’s no way Tesla wins this fight.

Swedish Tesla workers have been trying to get Tesla to sign a collective bargaining agreement, wherein wages and working conditions and such are negotiated exclusively between the employer and the union. This is standard practice in Scandinavia for any sector backed by a union, but Tesla has consistently refused to play ball. This has not only made them an enemy of IF Metall, one of the biggest unions in the country, but also the entire labor market, because no one wants to see the power of collective bargaining get undermined.

This also isn't the first American company to run into trouble trying to brute force its way into Sweden and ignore how the labor market there works. In the 90s Toys R Us tried to do the same thing and was met with a similar response, and was forced to eventually cave in order to actually open stores in Sweden.
