Has Elon ever publicly credited anyone with the successes at SpaceX or Tesla? Like has he ever said "these engineers" or "this engineer" did a great job?

nope. but he did give credit to the workers at Tuskla Motors for increasing production of Tuskla cars in that Rick and Morty episode

there is no ethical consumption under capitalisms.

Also if you care about climate change and the enviroment telsa is the company that made the cars, buildt the charging network, showed that the model works, and now the ICE engine companies are playing catch up because they never took EV seriously.

Serious is elon a bad guy? was he always a bad guy? or is the fact he bought a unprofitable social media company, in scam that totally blew up in his face, the reason people are like "no no telsa cars are bad"

Elon's morality existed before he did the twitter thing and will exist after.

I never got on twitter, but its been a while now, why dont every one leave since its so bad

lol which subreddit did you get that from it's hilarious

you know I think it'd probably be for the best if the white supremacist dogwhistles weren't constantly posted everywhere in every thread

Yes, but it’s probably OK to post them in a thread specifically concerned with the failings of a white supremacist who personally benefitted from apartheid

oh was that quoting a white supremacist post from somewhere else?

Okay, I get it's not even a thing to try to joke about the reality that some places are more regressive or inaccessible than others. I'll leave this one be. Please go back to dunking on Elon, ignore me, I do apologize for any lovely talk.

do you understand why people are saying that post was transphobia? because it doesn't seem like you do

There are ways to do this, such as a powerful earth-based laser that provides thermal energy so the rocket just needs to provide reaction mass. (None of which Elon was talking about, he's just an idiot)

in the same way that there are ways to implant a brain chip to cure dementia yeah

The thing is that it might not be that the ads are suddenly more poorly targeted.




Twitter ran out of other ads.

I only ever get 2 ads (not logged in to twitter): a business in my area is moving to a new address, and an ad for farming supplies. just the same 2 ads over and over as I scroll down. it's been the same 2 ads all winter

I bet each of those count as separate impressions they have to pay for, too. I don't even think I used to see ads while not logged in

Honestly I feel like I’m missing something here. Isn’t the whole point of the “that’s what she said” line that it is something seemingly innocuous that takes on a different (usually sexual) meaning if you imagine it said by a woman talking to a man? How does anything in the OP fit that joke structure? It’s so bafflingly unfunny that it makes me thing I have been misunderstanding the line for my whole life…

is elon so out of touch?

no, it's my understanding of the very concept of a joke that's wrong

Don't tell him about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation which does get federal funding and has a blanket policy on not allowing commenting on anything even remotely about indigenous people because it would take like a whole department to moderate the posts.

Free speech silenced everywhere these days.

they probably just want to make sure people can't see what their racist reporters would say in public about it

I deleted my account but for a while there every couple months I bumped a thread with a bunch of examples from a local reporter being horribly racist about missing and murdered Indigenous women (in actual articles and comments on them no less). never did get any kind of response, and he's still being paid with My Tax Dollars

It's unfortunate that Elon used the r-slur in a tweet but also super convenient since it's a nice easy thing to show your Elon liking friends as an example why he sucks, rather than opening the Tome of Reasons

definitely don't show them PYF then

I mostly remember Dawkins and the other big atheists becoming rabidly anti muslim after 9/11 broke their brains

I'm sure he'll eventually come around to endorsing traditional judeo-christian values to combat the trans menace
