Been seeing a relatively new style of advertisement (to me anyway) on my Instagram feed lately. It’s always a 2 picture/video post. The first video/picture is something I like like a kitten or a house plant or something. You watch it and then scroll to the next video in the series expecting to see more of your new best cat friend video but surprise! It’s an advertisement for a vacuum cleaner.

Google Jeb Bush posted:Texas actually has one of the strongest anti SLAPP laws in the country... but lawyers following the suit are saying Musk is filing in a way specifically to dodge it (by starting in federal court iirc?[. I was echoing the article, which was apparently written by someone who also isn't following lawyers on social media: quote:As legal blogger Ken White noted, a Texas filing protects X from claims that it filed a strategic lawsuit against public participation (or SLAPP), something it might face in its home base of California. "legal blogger Ken White noted" links to a Bluesky post that at the time I wasn't able to read; it looks like the Verge writer mischaracterized what he said. Sorry!

Telsa Cola posted:Eh, kinda but that also doesnt really matter. The people who are only going to care that Musk sued Media Matters and not care that the lawsuit got dismissed are probably not being unbiased and honest actors.  What happens from here now that a new judge is on this case? This was the recusal letter the prior judge made.  I imagine this case is still going to be tossed?

And he was recorded by Guinness World Records as losing more money than anyone in history, almost a year ago. Keeping that pace up as only he can. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/12/1148634966/elon-musk-guinness-world-records

Eh that 'money' isn't really real. It's stock value and he can't just sell some stock and not take a hit. The problem with a lot of these net worth valuations is that for the most part you aren't going to know how much cash someone actually has. Elon in particular has most of his net worth tied up in stocks he can't sell.

I wonder if it's really about the money or more about how he finally has a company where he is the main idea guy and decisionmaker and the resuts have been undeniably disappointing. I think it says a lot about the inertia of social media that Twitter is still a popular destination for people, but he has taken a lot of the shine off of it.

It has been roughly 100 years and news reporters still say "X, formerly known as Twitter". Either the rebranding is going poorly or reporters just feel dumb calling something X, like it was some married lover person in a Victorian diary

You know, I've read the transcripts from this Dealbook interview and they haven't caught how weird his voice is. He's like croaking out words and repeating phrases in this weird cadence. He looks like he's about to transform in to a Deep One on-stage. https://x.com/esjesjesj/status/1730015972180857289?s=20

I do think this is a pattern of behavior that's gotten much worse over time. Dude's the ultimate antidrug PSA.

Linda using word salad when trying to say something about Elons interview. While not actually saying anything at all. https://twitter.com/lindayaX/status/1730088124615631060 "Today @elonmusk gave a wide ranging and candid interview at @dealbook 2023. He also offered an apology, an explanation and an explicit point of view about our position. X is enabling an information independence that's uncomfortable for some people. We're a platform that allows people to make their own decisions. And here’s my perspective when it comes to advertising: X is standing at a unique and amazing intersection of Free Speech and Main Street — and the X community is powerful and is here to welcome you. To our partners who believe in our meaningful work -- Thank You."
