please don’t suggest to use this on an airplane....nothing is worse than listening to anyone else’s crap via speaker....use headphones people!!!!

Musk successfully turned Twitter into a platform for alt-right/nazi bubbles and their wealthy sponsors while still pretending they’re open-minded. By promoting the community that gives the wealthy more influence and power, you are able to add “features” that end up functioning as digital blowhorns.

Is a Vegan Hot Dog company REALLY competition for a meat based Hot Dog company?

‘plant based fake meat bullshit.’

Well it’s not like a wealthy white South African of privilege who grew up in the apartheid era is going to care much about that.

Totally, use Telsa as a stop gap and find something else.

“When she pushed back, he not only fired her but also got rid of her entire team at the same time.”

A while back I was looking at video’s and reading about the Tesla Solar Roof and if it was any good or not.   Seems like just getting the roof was a pain in the ass and would take months, reconfiguring things, price changes, same old shit with the cars and everything he touches.  

Regardless of him writing some book about bringing back humanity to the internet, I’m still highly suspicious of any billionaire who claims they want to make something better. It has been a long time since that animal has been seen in its natural habitat. 

And Musk views everyone as beneath him.

The true(er*) measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good - Samuel Johnson (I think)

“According to two former employees, Tesla’s energy division, which sells solar systems and battery storage were already struggling to handle their workload before they were forced to take on the Supercharger team’s workload.”

Might go back but I would be 100% ghosting and job hunting.

The truest assessment of character is how someone treats people he views as beneath him.

I totally agree with your sentiment, but you got to remember these guys are probably working in CA and have like $5k/month rent or insane mortgages plus other bills. It can easily take 3-6 months to find a new job, too. I remember that Chargepoint also had layoffs this year, so it’s not like there is a huge demand…

Knowing it was a tantrum makes the most sense. It’s the, “I’m so tough I can kick myself in the nuts!” philosophy. That and I assumed he figured he could hire many of them back at lower pay.

It was simply Musk getting mad at someone for pushing back on what he was asking for and punishing the entire team as part of his tantrum.

There’ no fucking way I would go back to a company that fired me on the whims of a child. This is the kind of business strategy you get from a guy whose reaction to opposition is ‘Go fuck yourself’, or as he put stupidly put it, ‘G. F. Y.’

I will take the open source community’s response to this issue and stewardship of this software ANY DAY over what we would have gotten had this been proprietary code. The issue was publicized immediately, and the community quickly analyzed the issue, mitigated the problem by identifying the earliest unaffected…

Security through obscurity, ie proprietary software, is always going to be worse. We know this, because there have been far more and worse security lapses, flaws, and bugs in proprietary software than open-source software. Pretty much the entire public consciousness around this issue has been because of a complete…
