#Elon
How #Elon #Musk knocked #Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ off course #FSD (free gift article) https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/03/19/elon-musk-tesla-driving/
Got a question for #Twitter's press team? The answer will be a poop emoji https://www.npr.org/2023/03/20/1164654551/twitter-poop-emoji-elon-musk
With the all the talk of #svb and the role of #venturecapital in the bank run, I thought of my novel VULTURE CAPITAL which I wrote in the midst of the dot-com meltdown.
Check out this review of the book in Salon.com:
https://www.salon.com/2002/09/18/valley/
It's very complimentary, but I have to laugh at the comment about the "unbelievable futurism of the chip implants" as #Elon is doing exactly that with his company #Neuralink.
Here's the cover & sample illustrations.
Like #ChatGPT you just need to know how to ask the right questions.

Ach, jetzt ist also #Elon indirekt auch noch am Ende der #CS schuld? #Neuland ...
"Finma-Verwaltungsratpräsidentin Marlene Amstad sowie CS-Verwaltungsratpräsident Axel Lehman haben in der gestrigen Medienkonferenz zum CS-Aus auf einen «Twitter-Sturm» im vergangenen Herbst verwiesen, der zu erheblichen Geldabflüssen bei der CS geführt habe. Das sei ein schwerer Schlag gegen die CS gewesen, den sie damals noch überstehen konnte, aber der sie nachhaltig geschwächt habe."

How low can you go?
Elon: Hold my beer.

@Kuestenkind @hamudistan Die Wärmepumpe ist und bleibt die effizientes Art Wärme zu erzeugen. #elon hat es auch schon herausgefunden.
Seriously? #Elon keeps spitting on the press by announcing that Twitter's press email now auto-responds with a poop emoji 💩 https://mashable.com/article/twitter-press-poop-emoji
What did #Elon do now?

For those keeping score, #Elon has gone full anti-Semite conspiracy theorist now.
One need not wonder what #Musk is planning for #Neuralink after reading about the brain surveillance already being used by thousands of companies across the world. It's about taking control of the employees. There will be no #FreeWill at #Elon's companies.

@ThomasKnight I still don’t get why people think tweetstorms accomplish anything. To get something trending for a few hours is a waste of time and just helps #Elon line his pockets by increasing usage, making it more attractive to the advertisers, plus what average people who want 2FA pay. But they’re apps for that, even built in to iOS. Personally I just keep a “placeholder” account, hoping one day something happens. I don’t tweet though.
@DXMacGuffin Yep, it's absolutely insane. It's even worse than I said, as well. Check out this article which makes it more clear exactly how much the new #Twitter policy is going to screw over their users, especially ones who rarely log in. If you rarely log in, you might want to think about deleting your account today like I did, or you could lose access to your account for good to either hackers or to #Elon. It's a good day for a #TwitterMigration https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-is-twitter-turning-millions-of-accounts-into-defenseless-targets/
Just a friendly reminder to everyone that #Elon has decided that the best way to force people to pay for #Twitter is by making them pay to have their accounts secure. If you don't start paying him starting today, you can no longer use two-factor authentication. As a result, I just deleted my account for good. I have no regrets. I am free of the #hellsite forever. No loss, given how often #TwitterDown is happening & how it's swarming with #nazis, #WhiteSupremacy, #Fascism & #Conspiracy nutjobs.

"free speech" #Musk needs free #gullible workers #developers #programmers.
Read his hypocrite #blablabla from Elon;
Our “algorithm” is overly complex & not fully understood internally. People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!
We’re developing a simplified approach to serve more compelling tweets, but it’s still a work in progress. That’ll also be "open source".
What he really means is volunteer work,
He hopes to earn your trust. Really????
Haha.
Consider this;
Have you considered that you probably fired the people who understood it internally Elon "not so smart" Musk!?

The timeline is populated with ads for tacky products (a coffee mug with a full paragraph of unhinged text starting with a fragment sentence in double font size: "My daughter is special because.") and weirdo goofs promoting themselves ("I'm the person who correctly predicted the EPIC disruption in the American air freshener market. You'll be amazed about what industry is next! Follow the link to purchase my new eBook full of my horrible thoughts about women. #airfreshener #NFT #elon #ww1wga").
@atomicpoet Was #Elon today 10x more the narcissistic sociopathic fascist jerk than he usually is?
@mshelton Only phone number (i.e., Text Message) 2FA of the three provided is being taken away, the one that SIM shenanigans can make useless. Why, if it is a problem, T-Blue users get to use it is baffling, but there you are.

This time it is a problem with the #Tesla Y steering wheel.

1e9: "Elon Musk will jetzt eine eigene Stadt bauen."
Die #Regeln dort:
- Jeder #Bürger darf sagen, was er will. (Also er, #Elon.)
- #Namensschilder an Tür und #Briefkasten gibt es nur im #Abo, zusammen mit dem blauen #Haken.
- #Straßenreinigung, #Müllabfuhr, #Stadtwerke, etc... werden von nur jeweils einer Person betrieben. (Viel zu teuer)
- Morgens und Abends laufen Schreier durch die Straßen und verkünden Elons lustigste Sprüche. #ElonMusk
@malwaretech hey! Don’t underestimate the guy, huh!
#CitizenKane is not a how-to film.
@schmutzie To be fair, unfortunately for #elon, the inside of his mind and formative life experience is a dystopian horror. There's a reason why Part 3 is named "Dystopias and Dystopians." https://samray.substack.com/p/the-grooming-of-elon-musk-a-psychological-cc8
Yet another #halli #elon what-have-you take…
Another thing that got to me - besides the GLARINGLY OBVIOUS - was the response to Halli listing out his contributions as design director. Tech bros ripped them apart and dismissed them as meaningless.
As a veteran UX designer, that just makes my heart sink. The struggle is never done for us as long as jagoffs like that are in the mix, or - worse - in charge.
I keep thinking there's nothing else #Elon can do or say that would surprise me but yesterday the CEO of Twitter publicly stated, in a Tweet, that #Twitter is a poor tool for communicating.
I keep thinking about how when I was at Twitter all the rage was trying to get people to "hire Twitter" for different jobs and the actual CEO is here admitting that Twitter sucks for talking to people compared to videoconferencing, a service Twitter doesn't offer.
"Regardless of his lemming army of loser-minions laying supine and mewling admiration uncontrollably at his Imperial bareassedness, [#Elon] has turned every opportunity leading up to, during, and since the sale of Twitter to his stewardship to be a one-man show equivalent to piping Animal from the Muppets full of mescaline and letting him loose to restock shelves at a Hallmark Store."
...my take on the recent #Halli storm.
https://zeruch.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/anyone-else-think-episode-22/
#Elon's excuse for his 100 million dollar mistake is to say his 44 billion dollar communication platform is bad to use for communication.
@JoParkerBear Well, there is something called ‘hate watching’. I’m not sure what that has to do with self esteem but lots of people seem to enjoy it when #elon tweets or appears. #tedcruz splits the atom between disgusting/hideous. It’s an accomplishment previously achieved only by #mitchmcconnell & #trump.
I'm surprised the recent BS from Space Karen hasn't lead to a spike in Mastodon sign-ups.
The numbers from @mastodonusercount are looking relatively flat.
What's different this time?
This song reminds me of #Elon now:
"I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're calling me Your Highness
And a world screams 'Kiss me, Son of God'
[Verse 1]
I destroyed the bond of friendship and respect
Between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
Now I laugh and make a fortune
Off the same ones that I tortured
And a world screams 'Kiss me, Son of God'"
Just read the thread of #Haraldur on #Twitter discussing with #Elon whether he is still employed or not. Very sad to read this and be even more desillusioned by Elon.
🤦🏻♂️ 💩
How can someone manage to change from someone you look up to to someone so despised this fast?
Maybe Twitter just made his true nature more transparent.

So, an award-winning Icelandic design entrepreneur who sold his company to #Twitter in 2021 asks #Elon about the situation with his employment after not being able to access internal systems for 9 days (likely because Twitter's SaaS bills remain unpaid). Elon publicly ridicules the entrepreneur and fires him.
@atomicpoet I'm just waiting here with my Bon Bons and popcorn for the release of that deprecated code to be open sourced.... Like he said he wanted.
#Elon is doing great things and I'm among his tens of millions of fans for things like #Starlink, #Neuralink, the #Boring_Company, #PayPal, #SpaceX, flamethrowers, #Tesla, and other #visionary achievements...
And although it's not his fault - #Twitter is s shithole and needs to be extinguished, along with #Faceplant, etc.

.
Expect another inflow of #Twitter emigrants. I see more posts about Mastodon over there today than I have before. I think we're approaching a true 'huddled masses' situation thanks to #elon.
If you just arrived, Welcome. Pull up a chair and rest. You have all the time in the world to figure this place out.
Follow @feditips and ask questions. There is always someone here to answer you.
@caseynewton So #Elon fires staffers who take care of stuff, and then, surprise, that stuff breaks. It's basically the #Republican governing philosophy in action.
It's #Sunday, time for me to recap my week! Here's a summary of the most notable links I shared:

I've concluded that #Elon Musk is a product of AI. I'm now not that sure that he exists, but is a confection of a computer scientist somewhere!
@w7voa What about all of those promises back in 2016 to flee the country that never happened?

For years, Twitter was at its best when bad things happened. Now, the social-media platform’s crisis has become a real-world crisis.
"Elon Musk Has Broken Disaster-Response Twitter"
#twitter #elon #musk #elonmusk #SocialMedia #crisis #disaster #realworldcrisis #news #NewsChannel #TheAtlantic
@tess Elon spent $44 billion dollars for a company that now has about 1300 employees. That's more than $33 million dollars per employee.
Let that sink in...
I think they’re down to, like, 36 people and a parrot.

Okay, from now on, I am starting to make mental notes of people who constantly post about #Twitter dis or #Elon dat, and will eventually unfollow them.
Folks! The man is a fucking fascist, and Twitter is now his shitshow. We DON'T need constant moaning about it here. We know.
Let go of Twitter and move on!
