“AWS has never over hired beyond their planned and approved headcount”

“this developmental approach is not an excuse for cutting corners and omitting sensible launch practices that have been in place since the 1960s”
Likely Elon decided cutting corners was acceptable given that a semi-successful launch would be a net positive for the public perception of him & his ventures.

Reasonable? That hardly qualifies in my books.
A long time ago, I overdrew welfare benefits for 2 months to (barely) make rent when I moved to a more expensive city to find work.
When the gubmint caught up with me the following year, I was required to repay in full, pay a penalty of 500% at 15% interest & acknowledge I…

It always does

Elon, 1st of his name, Imperator of Mars, kowtowed to the Government of India’s demand to censor critics of Narendra Modi.
I guess being a “free speech absolutist” is yesterday’s news

He’s been that way all along.

I think CDs get the blame as they were marketed from the start as compact “disc” and that carried over to any format used specifically for transportable circular media intended for audiovisual recordings & read/written by laser.
Everything else is “disk” or some kind of drive

Far too often the text of the laws are written by corporations & special interest groups; “legislators” are merely the publishers

Absolutely not.
No point to waste a bullet on a waste of skin

Lack of reading comprehension & obstinate ignorance should be a crime

Wrong

If Elon truly cared about “free speech”, he could have done that himself, on the cheap - opensource.twitter.dev
What he wanted was Twitter’s data, to weaponize for his own agenda

“Musk is reportedly allowing tweeps to buy stock awards based on a $20 billion valuation, but added he thinks it will eventually be worth ‘$250 billion”

A lot of what we’ve thought of “love” has always been dysfunctional forms of possession & control even when the parties involved have been every hue of the rainbow.

More likely to be the relationship version of the TREE problem where TREE(1) has only 1 solution, TREE(2) has 3 but TREE(3) is a number so large it cannot be written down in the life of our universe, even if every subatomic particle in existence could be used as a digit

We have no idea what sort of unintended side effects geo-engineering style mitigation strategies will have on the global climate.

Is that the same intern who supposedly told him Haraldur Thorleifsson was a lazy underperformer?
“It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful”

“Maybe we should make the annual Elon Predicts FSD a gift-giving holiday?”

That was my point

“redirection to a page asking his supporters to donate upwards of $3,300 to his campaign”
His supporters don’t think to ask why someone (claiming to be) worth $10 billion needs their money?
