It’s 100% this. He found someone willing to carry his babies like the other women who work for him that he’s impregnated. And like the others, he will never physically touch her because she doesn’t look like a child.

The funniest part of the affair story is the his affair partner claims there was no affair and Musk was just helping her with strategies for dealing with her daughter’s autism because of his background and experience at Neuralink.

I know in the long run it don't matter that Musk is losing money, but gently caress alive it's nice to see his own stupid rear end getting owned by his own stupid rear end.

100% guarantee none of the employees he fired/laid off, had any kind of NDA or non-compete in place as part of their severance. Also guaranteed, they weren't loving happy that dipshit didn't pay them any of their severance he promised. I cannot possibly imagine what a human would do that's been proven time and time again throughout history that if you piss them off enough, they respond in kind.

I know you won't be broke by this but: "HAHAHA, gently caress you Elon."

triple sulk posted:

noncompetes are completely unenforceable

Elon has no real grounds BUT….

…they probably had an NDA as part of their original employment offer or stock vesting which would apply or there are other laws that could prevent someone from sharing previous employer info.

Noncompetes are generally unenforceable when they keep people from working in a specific industry or area. Noncompetes and client lists or trade secrets are totally different things. A non-compete can be illegal but the person can be blocked from sharing material non-public info with their new employer or client lists.

Very specific example: You could work at Twitters ad division and own the Pepsi relationship. You could be fired/quit from twitter and still go to work at meta in ad management. However, you generally cannot then go on to own the Pepsi relationship or specifically try and poach Pepsi from twitter to meta.

There are lots of other variations of this but the bottom line is that this isn’t about noncompetes.

Hypothetically if Twitter did have evidence that a former twitter associate gave meta a non-public architecture plan or actual code, that would be sharing of trade secrets which could have some real claim.

He doesn’t and it’s all baby bullshit but there is real applicable law here that has nothing to do with noncompetes.

Edit: The letter doesn’t even mention noncompetes so it shouldn’t even be a discussion point.

In almost no scenario can you freely share previous employer private info/trade secrets. There are lots of regulations, laws, and civil actions against it. Getting fired doesn’t automatically invalidate NDAs.

People do it all the time because they don’t get caught or their previous employer has no evidence. But it’s absolute not just a legal thing to do especially if you have an NDA.

I remember the glorious few years where search engines worked well and you could easily find anything online. Social media and YouTube weren’t algorithmed for max engagement. Shopping searches would return legit stores and eBay not dozens of scam sites.

I still believe that his elementary teachers were correct and he has some sort of cognitive issue beyond “grew up rich.” Being rich exacerbated the problem but I don’t think he’s capable of understanding things correctly. His obsession with X for 20+ years is not just someone holding onto a bad idea, it’s him being incapable of processing it’s a bad idea. The man has legitimately never had a good idea.

Years of brain altering drugs have only made this worse.

Yeah I was just thinking of his fixation on 'X' but that can easily just be immaturity and spite.

If I wanted to be charitable I would say the rest of that stuff can be masked, but I don't so I won't.

There are interviews with Errol where he says that teachers told him something was wrong with Elon and that he stared off into space, didn’t interact with others, and was very awkward as a child. The teachers suggested that Errol have Elon evaluated and maybe put in a more appropriate settings. Errol said gently caress that and moved to a different school/did other things.

Now Errol is a lying piece of poo poo but it’s pretty believable that Elon had some issues when younger and instead of being treated he was just encouraged to hide it all.

Do you want to go to space?

Definitely. I hope to die in space.

What do you mean?

I would like to go far enough out there to where my body could not handle coming back. So it would be closer to the end of my life. Maybe 65.

By out there do you mean Mars?

Mars would be great. I hope there’s a megastructure by then because I would love to see one in space. I’d go out there and live as long as I can until I die.

There’s no changing your mind on this?

There might be some change. If there’s a real responsibility, like if my kids are having grandkids and really need me, I might change my mind. But the preferred thing would be seeing some new worlds. I would like to move to Mars. But I have to wait till my kids are good. Like 25. I think if I died on Earth, in my last moments I would regret it. If I died in space, I would be like, “You’ve lived a great life, you did all the things you wanted to do.”

Do you think the future of humans is in space?

I hope so. One of my dreams is to go to exoplanets that can handle habitable life and engineer humans with AI optimized for those environments, because I’m sure they’ll be slightly different. Like making monkey aliens all over the universe. That would be really cool.

Jeff Bezos says he’s totally sold on a trillion humans in space.

Sick. I hope so. Did Bezos say he’s building a megastructure, potentially? I think I read that somewhere. That clock in the mountain. When I found out about the clock it totally changed my opinion of Bezos.

I mean he's enthusiastic about it enough that he's willing to get his rear end kicked and for people to know about it. musk could never.

To-date Zuck has probably hosed things up worse for the world. Musk may win that race long-term with everything he is doing to platform hate and white supremacy and anti-LGBTQ sentiment. We’re going to see continuously escalating violence over the next few years directly as a result of his actions.
