If someone were as weird about me personally as Dittmann is about Elon Musk, I would ban them from my website, get a restraining order, and have my security team keep an eye on them.

It's not baffling when the goal of the design is "make sure Elon Musk's fee-fees aren't hurt".

it is weird to think there was a time when musk seemed charismatic

at the time he was the one millionaire doing TED talks about climate change, no one knew enough about him to know about the emeralds or his sister/aunt/stepmother, and he wasn't showing his arse on social media.

House Democrats Robert Garcia, D-Calif. and Jamie Raskin, D-Md, sent a letter to SpaceX demanding transparency from the defense contractor following reports of potentially illegal purchases and use of Starlink satellite internet equipment by Russia in occupied territories of Ukraine.

The congressmen also announced a probe of SpaceX by the Democratic House Committee into the company’s safeguards and procedures for preventing illegal exports and use of its Starlink equipment and services. The Washington Post first reported on the probe and March 6 letter to SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell.

I still have no idea who Jordan Peterson is. From the bits I've heard goons mention, I figured the less I know the better, so I avoided looking up or reading anything about him. Wish I had the discipline to do that for Musk.

This is the way. Nothing of value is buried there.

I actually had no idea Bezos was involved in the Clock of the Long Now, I knew it by way of Stewart Brand. Old hippie icon, didn't impress me much.

Gooseflock Featheration is about as antipodally opposed to hegemonic, heteronormative, right-wing white supremacy as is possible on this good green Earth.

They're also geese -- when I explained the honk honk clownworld thing to a couple of them they were horrified.

Basically, just like the OK sign, you have to use your judgment to determine when it is an alt-right sign or just some existing thing they've co-opted. Whether or not the person has the political beliefs of a Neo-Nazi is the most reliable way to tell.

Regarding Elon, he has the political leanings of a Neo-Nazi in pretty much every way that matters, but he also might be fresh enough to the Extremely Online cesspool that he doesn't know what the other people dumping this stuff at him actually mean.

The credo of "fully automated gay space communism" does not actually involve nazism, moving swifty on: every space online game I have played with goons have had the above motto, even if we terrorised Eve, we let regular ppl use our space autism forts in Star Trek Online, Gooons in Space; a land of contrasts.
