Can anyone explain what good Elon did/does on the factory floor, sleeping or awake? This dude wouldn’t know which end of a hammer to hold, and if he had a toolbox, it would be all 10mm sockets.

Musk bought Twitter because he’s addicted to it and he wants total control over it. There’s a lot of kerfuffle about some article about “How Musk can declare war on the ‘global elitists’” by buying Twitter, but I think it’s more that he’s addicted to the dopamine hits he gets from using Twitter to hurt people while…

Entire generations of workers have internalized the idea that working yourself to the bone and ruining your health and family life are the only way to be productive and successful at your job. (That was the prevailing culture at the time, so I suppose for many people, it was difficult to avoid.) But with Elon, it’s…

To be fair, Musk’s relationship with Twitter is a lot more like Gollum with the One Ring.

You have to look at it from Elon’s blood emerald mine owner mentality.

I listened to the call - the really good stuff is at 48:30.

The whole argument about “fairness” of WFH is just a thinly veiled way to make the working class argue with itself.

Honestly, I thought about taking the time to adjust lighting on the pacifier, but instead decided to get the post out. Now I wish I’d taken another pass

I lost any sympathy I had for him long ago. 

That’s a really baffling thing. All these people who think electric cars are the wokest and thus worst thing on the road also inexplicably love the guy peddling by far the most electric cars.

Showing any political preference is completely stupid if you’re trying to sell a consumer product. There was a time I would’ve bought a Tesla, but now it feels like a car version of the red MAGA hat. 

It’s like watching sideshow bob step on the rake.

Being a White Nationalist isn’t good for sales. Nor is being a Confidence Man. Nor is Abusing your Workers of Color. Nor is over charging for service of your product. F#ck Tesla & Musk with one of his flame throwers, or simply deport Mr. Musk back to South Africa...

Don’t forget reaping, if not salaries at every company, his share of what little profits are getting generated.

And let’s see what Tesla Musk Stans fanbois will say about this

Wait, a company with a reactionary idiot CEO who also happens to be trying to be CEO for multiple other companies at the same time is struggling now that there are actual problems to resolve and competition from other companies?

Elon’s famous for saying that if factory workers can’t work from home, software engineers shouldn’t get to either. But that doesn’t apply to him, does it? He’s in an intense leadership role in multiple companies. If I told my management “Hey, I’ll be spending eight months of the year working at other companies, but I…

Sure seems like there are a number of people who have been fortunate enough to have their decisions go their way for long enough that it’s basically impossible for them to admit that they even have the capacity for making an incorrect call. Anything that happens is the fault of someone or something else.

I might be able to muster up some empathy if all his problems weren’t knowingly and willingly self inflicted.

Capitalism is a cold mistress
