About how much money can Leon get out of Tesla stock sales before he goes under 50% ownership? Obviously the large sell offs themselves would affect the price, but let's just go with the current price for argument's sake.

Before Elon bought twitter, he had ~25% ownership of Tesla
Then he needed to offload another $4b so now he's at like 18% ownership, by my quick and cruddy math

A few aggrieved programmers having oopsies can do a shitton of damage very quickly, right?

Two-three weeks ago I would've said "No, Twitter is pretty big with a serious engineering team, they've got a lot of rails around that"

However, I've watched them flip switches for three different types of checkmarks in prod multiple times over the course of a single day, so I'm pretty sure just about anyone could just hop in and change their AWS credentials or something

I pre-ordered a cybertruck as soon as they were available. They were supposed to be rolling them out like, mid-2021
And I know that covid done hosed a lot of things up, but three other companies have launched electric trucks since, a lot more are only a year out, and the Cybertruck still looks like a big dumb dumpy piece of poo poo with no expected release date

And that video reminded me to go get my pre-order money back
Thanks for that, thread.

Congrats on your successful eye surgery that obviously happened after mid-2021

It was, at the time, the only electric truck that looked like it was coming out any time soon, and from a company that had a pretty good reputation on their electric vehicles. I genuinely expected at least some revisions to the styling. I only really needed it to be 10% less fuckin stupid looking and, given no other competitors in the space, I'd have been at least mostly on-board.

But it still looks dumb as gently caress, and now there's cool electric trucks that are actually what I want already on the market/coming soon that both look good and are cheap and won't run over children unless I tell them to. I could deal with a car that looked stupid as gently caress if it met my needs. Right now I've got a car and a small pickup, and only having one car that fit both needs would have been great, even if I was driving around a big triangle.

But now there's options that aren't a big triangle

I've seen that a few times since remote work became common during the pandemic, where people would claim some people are working only a little at one job while having other jobs.

Which doesn't make a lot of sense, either these people can work multiple jobs, or someone would realize they aren't actually working at their job and they would likely lose it.

A friend of mine has found himself in a cushy enough position with a mass exodus of people from the company that he only needs to put in like 10% effort to look like a superstar and spends the rest of his day doing sports betting

I have seen the actual survey results but can't find it right now.

According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’ętre—once a year or less.

So why aren't any of these website breaking updates being pushed to a development server before going live to millions of people? I imagine an error like this would've been extremely easy to spot.

Odds are good that, in a normal development environment, this is just a flag in a config somewhere that need to be flipped, and maybe a server restart

However odds are good that, considering how Elon has been running things, there is no flag and they did in fact just push this live because DADDY NEEDS MONEY

the best part of this is that halli's salary was effectively an instalment plan for the buyout of his company, he's owed that money regardless of whether he was doing any work

now instead of paying him for the work he could do they have to pay him to do nothing at all

Elon isn't paying for rent, software licenses, or the promised severance pay to everyone he laid off
I doubt he's gonna fork out for this

I mean,
courts will rule in favor of honoring the contract


but if Elon can drive to value of Twitter to zero and declare the company bankrupt, then he doesn't have to pay anyone,
and that's why he's a brilliant entrepreneur
