Elon's purchase of Twitter is complete. He walked right in and fired the anti-1st-amendment CEO clown and Jack Dorsey's diversity hire lawyer that he brought along with him to tell lies for two straight hours on Joe Rogan's podcast debate with Tim Pool.
The Leftist lunatics on Twitter have never collectively REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'd so hard.
It looks like Sulu is doing fine (relatively speaking), but where's Meathead?
These dumb fuckers that are screaming that they're leaving for not one but two different alternative platforms aren't going anywhere. Twitter spent years building up their fake followings. After two weeks of going to alternative platforms and not getting 1/1000th of the follower counts that they had on Twitter they'll come right back.

How has nobody put the Twitter Blue fiasco in here yet?
Eli Lilly lost Billions in Market Cap after somebody who was verified with an $8 blue checkmark changed their name to Eli Lilly and said "We are excited to announce insulin is free now."
Here's a best of compilation of people spoofing other accounts. Tesla got rocked by quite a few of them too.
Twitter Blue has been rolled back. My suggestion is that when you give somebody a Twitter Blue account, you force them to lock in an account name and don't allow them to change it. I've got to say this was a pretty huge oversight that I could have told you would have happened. Why don't you give me a job on the Twitter staff so I can save you from things like this in the future, Elon. I'll even work for $53k per year (half of the lowest current Twitter employee) if you let me work from home.
I'll need a better computer though, and you'll have to buy me a cell phone because I assume Twitter would require their employees to have one.

I'd like to think that Elon will reconsider that once the dust settles. The last thing he needs right now is the Lefty fallout from giving Alex his tongue back.
I don't really know what he's doing, TBH. That Twitter Blue was a catastrophe for him.
I mean, if he wanted to spend 44 Billion just to destroy the platform, more power to him. Money well spent.
But if I was that dude who cost Eli Lilly billions of market cap with a single troll tweet, I'd get facial reconstruction surgery and get off the grid entirely. Probably move out of the country too.

I was an intern at SpaceX years ago, back it when it was a much smaller company — after Elon got hair plugs, but before his cult of personality was in full swing. I have some insight to offer here.
Back when I was at SpaceX, Elon was basically a child king. He was an important figurehead who provided the company with the money, power, and PR, but he didn’t have the knowledge or (frankly) maturity to handle day-to-day decision making and everyone knew that. He was surrounded by people whose job was, essentially, to manipulate him into making good decisions.
Managing Elon was a huge part of the company culture. Even I, as a lowly intern, would hear people talking about it openly in meetings. People knew how to present ideas in a way that would resonate with him, they knew how to creatively reinterpret (or ignore) his many insane demands, and they even knew how to “stage manage” parts of the physical office space so that it would appeal to Elon.
The funniest example of “stage management” I can remember is this dude on the IT security team. He had a script running in a terminal on one of his monitors that would output random garbage, Matrix-style, so that it always looked like he was doing Important Computer Things to anyone who walked by his desk. Second funniest was all the people I saw playing WoW at their desks after ~5pm, who did it in the office just to give the appearance that they were working late.
People were willing to do that at SpaceX because Elon was giving them the money (and hype) to get into outer space, a mission people cared deeply about. The company also grew with and around Elon. There were layers of management between individual employees and Elon, and those managers were experienced managers of Elon. Again, I cannot stress enough how much of the company culture was oriented around managing this one guy.
Twitter has neither of those things going for it. There is no company culture or internal structure around the problem of managing Elon Musk, and I think for the first time we’re seeing what happens when people actually take that man seriously and at face value. Worse, they’re doing this little experiment after this man has had decades of success at companies that dedicate significant resources to protecting themselves from him, and he’s too narcissistic to realize it.
This post is long so I’ll leave you with my favorite Elon story. One day at work, I got an all hands email telling me that it was Elon’s birthday and there was going to be a mandatory surprise party for him in the cafeteria. Presumably Elon also got this email, but whatever. We all marched down into the cafeteria, dimmed the lights, and waited. Elon was led out by his secretary (who he hadn’t fired yet) and made a big show of being fake surprised and touched that we were there. Then they wheeled out the cake.
OK, so, I want you to imagine the biggest penis cake you’ve ever seen. Like the king of novelty sex cakes. Only it’s frosted white, and the balls have been frosted to look like fire and smoke. This was Elon’s birthday “rocket” cake.
For as long as I live, I will never forget the look on everyone’s face — in that dark room of mostly-male engineers — when he made a wish and cut into the tip.

Elon Musk is not a narcissist. He admits to being bipolar. Just as Trump isn't a narcissist. He has a galloping case of adult ADHD.
It's not bad being a bit manic. In fact, it's highly productive. But when it veers into full-on delusion it's problem.
The way I read the Twitter story- and I haven't been following it closely - acquiring Twitter was a Musk enthusiasm. Until he found out that they were cooking the books and it wasn't as profitable as they said.
So he tried to back out if the purchase at the promised stock price. Failing that, he promised to be such a PITA to TPTB that he was hoping his purchase would be blocked. But the courts frog-marched him into it anyway. A promise is a promise after all!
IDK what's going to happen with Twitter. Most of Musk's projects are attached to one government teat or another.
Solar City?
Panel subsidies, $3000/ install!
Tesla EVs?
Government subsidies $7000!
SpaceX?
Government contracts!
Hyperloop?
That would be govt contracts too!
The only two projects that I know of that weren't/aren't govt connected are PayPal and Neuralink, and it's possible I just haven't sussed out Neuralink's funding yet.
Possibly Musk is trying to make Twitter profitable by courting a previously derided market (conservatives, MAGA, and alt-thinkers). Or possibly he's just trying to make Twitter such a a PITA to TPTB that somebody will buy him out and remove him from the controls, which is how he made $$ with Paypal.

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology may be a failure, Tesla lawyers admit — but it’s not a fraud. Ha-Ha!
The electric car company is facing a class-action lawsuit from Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology customers. They claim they were ripped off, duped by statements from co-founder and Chief Executive Elon Musk and marketing materials from Tesla over the last six years suggesting full-fledged autonomous driving was imminent. No Tesla on the road today is capable of full self-driving, and yet Tesla sells what it calls a Full Self-Driving Capability for $15,000.
In its defense, Tesla lawyers said that “mere failure to realize a long-term, aspirational goal is not fraud.” That argument is contained in a motion to dismiss the case that was filed last week in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
The main plaintiff is Briggs Matsko, a resident of Rancho Murieta, Calif. If the case goes forward, it could lead to deposition of Tesla employees who helped develop the technology and reveal what Musk knew and didn’t know about its true capabilities when he made numerous forecasts over the years — including the prediction that there would be a million Tesla robotaxis on the road by the end of 2020, that customers could make $30,000 a year hiring them out, and that their cars would appreciate in value.
Tesla lawyers are attempting to prevent that information from going public. The motion to dismiss the case rests mainly on Tesla’s contention that the papers customers signed when they bought their cars obligate them to individually file claims through the private arbitration system.
A public trial allows for customers to file as a large group, known as a class; arbitration means each customer would be on his or her own. While a public trial could reveal testimony from current or former Tesla employees on the state of Tesla’s automated technology development at any given time, arbitration would keep that testimony secret.
The FSD fraud suit runs through a litany of claims and promises made by Musk and Tesla about automated technology that will be familiar to anyone who closely follows Musk.
They include a 2016 video that purports to show a Tesla driving itself through the streets of Palo Alto with complete autonomy. Before the video rolls, with the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” as background music, a message reads, “The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not driving anything. The car is driving itself.”
Tesla workers later revealed that the video was fabricated, done in multiple takes, with the driving system’s failures removed, including a crash into a fence. The video remains on Tesla’s website.
The lawsuit highlights the multiple revisions of Musk’s statements over the years that full autonomy would be achieved in three months, or six months, or the end of the year (in any given year) or the next year.
In its motion to dismiss, Tesla lawyers note that Musk often has said regulatory approval will be necessary before actual autonomy can be deployed. But neither Musk nor the lawyers say which regulators they’re talking about.
“Tesla would need no federal approval to deploy an automated driving system in its current vehicles,” said Bryant Walker Smith, a law professor who specializes in autonomous vehicles at the University of South Carolina. “Tesla would need state approval in California and a small number of other states, but it has not sought that approval. Tesla would need approval in Europe, but it has not sought that approval.”
California DMV regulations on autonomous vehicles include rules that bar a company from marketing a vehicle as autonomous when it’s not. The DMV began a “review”

If there’s one tweet that will tell you everything you need to know about Elon Musk, it’s this one from early this morning:
Elon Musk @elonmusk
My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci
4:58 AM · Dec 11, 2022
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1601894132573605888
In five words, Musk manages to mock transgender and nonbinary people, signal his disdain for public-health officials, and send up a flare to far-right shitposters and trolls. The tweet is a cruel and senseless play on pronouns that also invokes the right’s fury toward Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, for what they believe is a government overreach in public-health policy throughout the pandemic and an obfuscation of the coronavirus’s origins. (Fauci, for his part, has said he would cooperate with any possible investigations and has nothing to hide.)
Beyond its stark cruelty, this tweet is incredibly thirsty. As right-wing troll memes go, it is Dad-level, 4chan–Clark Griswold stuff, which is to say it’s desperate engagement bait in the hopes of attracting kudos from the only influencers who give Musk the time of day anymore: right-wing shock jocks. But that is the proper company for the billionaire, because whether or not he wants to admit it, Musk is actively aiding the far right’s political project. He is a right-wing activist.
Currently, Musk’s politics are a subject of debate in the press. On Saturday, The New York Times’ Jeremy W. Peters attempted to offer a nuanced portrait of the Twitter owner’s ideologies, arguing that Musk “continues to defy easy political categorization.” But Peters’ laundry list of Musk’s recent lib-trolling and “woke” scolding—such as Musk’s November recommendation to his millions of followers to vote Republican—undermines the very thesis of the article. The nuance Peters is looking for does not exist: Musk’s actions and associations make a clear case that he is a right-wing reactionary.
Musk, for his part, has maintained that he is a centrist, that his politics have remained unchanged, and that it is the Democratic Party that has veered dramatically leftward. (Musk and Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.) Musk’s logic—that wayward leftism has given a lifelong moderate liberal no choice but to support right-wing causes—is a common trope among far-right activists. It has been employed by many in the so-called Intellectual Dark Web and influencers such as Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan, Glenn Greenwald, and others. The argument stretches far back in American politics. The neoconservative movement in the United States was originated by liberals who grew disillusioned with the Democratic Party, especially in relation to the left’s Vietnam protests.
Publicly, Musk appears deeply committed to the right’s culture war against progressivism in most forms. His purchase of Twitter was an explicitly political act couched in the notion of preserving free speech. But Musk’s notion of free speech is a broad course correction that involves amplifying and advancing the interests of right-wing reactionaries while trolling the left. Musk might argue that this is restoring balance to the system, but if we are judging based only on actions and outcomes, it is very hard to see his tenure at Twitter as anything other than a series of policies intended to benefit a particular ideology.
Twitter has suspended accounts that have mocked Musk or expressed left-leaning views. Whether intentionally or not, Musk has, in effect, been governing Twitter using the classic Frank Wilhoit maxim: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” Put differently, the billionaire has

Among the many grievances people harbor toward Elon Musk, add one more: animal cruelty.
Neuralink, a startup co-founded by Musk in 2016, aims to develop a brain chip implant. But to do that, the company has first been testing its technology on animals, killing some 1,500 since 2018 — and employee whistleblowers recently told Reuters the experiments are going horribly wrong.
Current and former employees told Reuters that Musk put staff under immense pressure to speed up animal trials in order to begin human trials, telling them that they had to imagine a bomb was strapped to their head as motivation to work harder and faster.
That may have contributed to botched experiments: Through documents and interviews with Neuralink staff, Reuters identified four experiments with 86 pigs and two monkeys that went awry due to employee mistakes. As a result, the experiments had to be repeated.

The total value of Tesla stock in 2021 was more than the value of the next 10 largest auto makers. Once the stockmarket realizes Musk has cheated them, the value of Tesla will drop and Musk won't be nearly as wealthy.

The point is that you only care because you don't like what Elon is doing right now.
He's the only Billionaire you hate (now) and want to see fail (now), since the rest of them are pushing agendas that you live by.
And unless there is video proof of any allegations his "employees" are throwing at him, anybody with half a brain isn't buying it because none of these employees are showing themselves, so who knows if they even exist.
There was a day where "anon" was used judiciously. That day is long gone. Now all the Legacy Media does in every article is site anonymous sources and pedal them as facts to the low IQ people who read their propaganda rags.

When that happens, Tesla shares will have an even bigger drop to the same low price matching what other car companies are worth.

Musk's saving grace was letting his engineers make the real decisions for his companies. But when Musk pushes aside his engineers and, instead, personally makes decisions, he shows how stupid and ignorant he is, same as Trump has shown. When things go well for his engineers, Musk takes the credit and makes the money.

Kelley Blue Book: Tesla’s approval rating sinks into negative territory, survey finds
December 12, 2022
A survey that tests consumer perceptions of prominent brands indicates that more consumers now have a negative view of the EV maker than a positive view.
There appears to be a political connection.
YouGov found a political divide in the numbers. The Wall Street Journal explains, “self-described liberals now view Tesla more negatively than conservatives, though conservatives also have a negative view of the brand on average.”
What changed to influence opinions so radically? Tesla CEO Elon Musk famously bought the social network Twitter at the end of October and has been a prominent figure in the news for reshaping its operations.
The company has also come under criminal investigation over a series of accidents that may have involved its driver assistance software, according to Reuters.
Morning Consult’s numbers also reinforce the political divide. Among self-described Democrats, 24.8% saw Tesla positively in October. Just 10.4% said the same at the end of November. Self-described Republicans saw their opinion of the company rise, from a favorable 20% to 26.5%, over the same period.
“It seems like Tesla is on its way to becoming a partisan brand,” Morning Consult’s Jordan Marlatt told the Wall Street Journal.

Since the launch of the so-called “Twitter Files” — Elon Musk’s self-styled exposé of the alleged excesses of the “woke” managers of Twitter before he bought it — there’s been a lively debate over what exactly Musk is trying to accomplish.
His statements clearly indicate that he sees himself as being engaged in some kind of culture war — “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters,” as he tweeted on Monday morning. But what does the highly public censure of Twitter’s previous management team have to do with fighting the “woke mind virus”?
To understand how Musk sees the connection, it’s helpful to look at a recent tweet from Antonio García Martínez, a writer who’s very plugged into the world of right-leaning Silicon Valley founders. García Martínez describes a project that looks something like reverse class warfare: the revenge of the capitalist class against uppity woke managers at their companies.
“What Elon is doing is a revolt by entrepreneurial capital against the professional-managerial class regime that otherwise everywhere dominates (including and especially large tech companies),” García Martínez writes.
On the face of it, this seems absurd: Why would billionaires who own entire companies need to “revolt” against anything, let alone their own employees? To explain, García Martínez cites a book by conservative political theorist James Burnham: The Managerial Revolution: What Is Happening in the World.
Published in 1941, Burnham’s book predicted that capitalism had reached a terminal stage; the capitalist class’s power would soon decline, giving way to the rise of the “managerial class” — people who direct industry and the complex operations of the state. His examples of this new state were Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, which Burnham believed to be rooted in a more efficient economic model than liberal capitalism. For this reason, he predicted a Nazi victory in World War II was all but inevitable.
Burnham’s predictions were wildly wrong, in ways that should cast significant doubt on the viability of his entire theory of “the managerial revolution.” But his conceptualization of an unaccountable managerial class has nonetheless been extremely influential in the right-leaning tech world and in the broader conservative intellectual firmament.
Marc Andreessen, a leading tech venture capitalist, called Burnham’s work “the best explanation for the current structure of our society and politics.” Julius Krein, a leading conservative policy intellectual, wrote that Burnham was “enjoying something of a revival” because “David Brooks, Ross Douthat, and Matthew Continetti, among others, have recently pointed to his work as essential to understanding the current political moment.”
So, while Burnham’s work got some big things wrong, it’s still worth taking seriously. In many ways, he’s the progenitor of the right’s current cultural obsessions with so-called “woke managers” — and the godfather of the approach to politics that Musk has spent $44 billion advancing.

Twitter Suspends @ElonJet, Even Though Elon Musk Said He Wouldn't Ban It
“My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, [@ElonJet] even though that is a direct personal safety risk,” Musk tweeted on Nov. 7.
That commitment didn’t last long.
The incident underscores how quickly Twitter’s new owner can change his mind when it comes to content moderation. In late October, for example, Musk said Twitter would only unban accounts after the company established a content moderation council. But in November, Musk reinstated former President Trump’s account after polling Twitter users about what he should do.
This past week, Musk also abruptly dissolved a Trust and Safety Council that Twitter had originally established in 2016.

I don't think there's much question that Elon Musk's turn to the dark side started with his annoyance over wokeism at his Bay Area Tesla plant. But in reality it was never about wokeism except in his own mind. He was mostly annoyed by unions; by the state of California actually expecting him to obey the law; and by employees wanting to put a stop to garden variety racism. At the same time, he developed a cult of admirers who validated his every utterance and egged him on against the critics.
So he moved Tesla's headquarters — i.e., its highest paid executives — to Texas, which doesn't have a personal income tax. Ka-ching! There he stewed and stewed over how California had treated him — him! the richest man in the world! — and eventually fell down the rabbit hole of anti-wokeism. This isn't really surprising. He was primed and ready, and there's no better place in the world to hate California and wokeism than Texas.
He's pretty far down the rabbit hole now, and who knows how it will turn out? Will Twitter be his greatest victory or the final leap down the rabbit hole? At the moment it looks like Musk's resentments have gotten the best of him and he's hurtling down the rabbit hole at maximum warp. Teaming up with the MAGAnauts is incomprehensibly stupid from a business perspective, but I guess he can't help himself anymore. I recommend a nice big prescription of Zoloft for Musk.

Elon Musk is on his way to becoming the next Henry Ford.
That is not a compliment.
In his early entrepreneurial years, Ford was a revolutionary: an innovative genius who transformed the way Americans traveled, worked, and lived. Following in Ford’s footsteps, Musk has become the leading innovator in the 21st-century auto industry.
Elon Musk now seems grimly determined to walk Henry Ford’s path much further than he should, for after his spectacular early success, Ford turned very dark, very quickly. The consequences of his hateful actions continue to poison the world today.
After he had accumulated massive wealth and achieved global fame, Ford allowed bigotry and paranoia to dominate his life. Deeply anti-union, he created a network of company spies who surveilled his employees and tried to control their lives. He also bought a newspaper that disseminated lies and antisemitic conspiracy theories. He followed that up by publishing a series of antisemitic books that were influential among Nazis and other European fascists between the First and Second World Wars.
Ford became a favorite of Adolf Hitler, who kept a photo of the automaker in his office. “I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration,” Hitler told the Detroit News in 1931.
The Ford Motor Company eventually began to decline as a result of its owner’s hateful and erratic behavior; it was saved only when Ford was forced to turn over control to his grandson.
Musk seems to be on the same trajectory that led Ford into the abyss. Tesla investigators hired by Musk allegedly hacked an employee’s phone and spied on his messages, and the stridently anti-union Musk reportedly hired a public relations firm to investigate an employee Facebook group just as Tesla workers were trying to unionize.
Earlier this year, SpaceX, another firm that Musk controls, fired employees who had written a letter calling on SpaceX to condemn Musk’s tweets, in which he’d ridiculed reports that SpaceX had settled a sexual harassment complaint against him. After Musk acquired Twitter in October, he began slashing the company’s workforce — including firing employees who had dared to criticize him.
Now, like Ford, Musk is going further, enabling right-wing hate on a massive scale.
After buying a social media platform whose reach far exceeds the newspapers of Henry Ford’s era, Musk is rapidly turning Twitter into his personal plaything, making a series of arbitrary moves to showcase his right-wing political agenda. He has unblocked the Twitter accounts of Donald Trump and other right-wing extremists, and ended enforcement of the site’s Covid misinformation policy. QAnon accounts are now returning to Twitter too.
Musk has also looted the platform’s internal files to further his political goals. Last week, he suspended the Twitter accounts of journalists at The Intercept and elsewhere who have criticized him, and then tried to make demands on the journalists in return for lifting the suspensions. Over the weekend, he briefly suspended the account of Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz after she tried to contact him for a story.
“Elon Musk has demonstrated to the entire world in the space of a few weeks that his management of Twitter is a disaster for the right to information,” Reporters Without Borders said in a statement after Musk suspended the reporters’ accounts. Officials from the European Union have also warned that Twitter may face sanctions for failing to live up to the EU’s standards for press freedom.
Musk has embraced Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and in October showed his willingness to become Putin’s de facto messenger to the West by laying out specific pro-Russian terms for a settlement of the war in Ukraine. On Sunday, Musk was photographed at the World Cup in Qatar, standing in what appeared to be a stadium suite with Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
If Henry Ford’s life is any guide, the hate Musk is now unleashing will continue to spread long after he’s gone. A century after it was published, references to Ford’s

What Elon Musk Is Teaching Us About Billionaires
It’s hard to find much to say about Elon Musk except for this: He was once the richest man in the world and widely hailed as a genius, or at least respected as an innovator, and he found that inadequate to his emotional needs.
How did it happen? Perhaps he found the role of “Thought Leader” too sedate and constricting. To the extent that noblesse oblige still exists among modern-day oligarchs, I suppose it could feel repressive; the Gateses and Buffets of the world perform good manners and good intentions and end up offering a retiring, cultivated blankness.
Or—billionaires being subject to experiential distortions most of us will never know—it may be that he found infinite wealth uninteresting. When you grew up rich already and have only grown richer, maybe it’s appealing to operate in an atmosphere of stringent artificial scarcity. If his pleasure lies not in largesse but in the capitalist jouissance of screwing others, it makes sense that the richest man in the world might seek out situations that would endanger his backers, saddle assets with debt, and justify him nickel-and-diming Twitter users while he strip-mines the company, auctioning off chairs and coffee makers and firing janitorial staff such that employees must bring toilet paper from home. This behavior can perhaps best be understood as playing the game on hard mode—ignoring the ease of keeping one’s sycophants happy by attempting to gain new converts despite constantly taking actions guaranteed to piss almost everyone off. Plenty of stand-up comics like losing the room on purpose just to try to win it back.
Musk is on the record as liking a challenge. He dislikes chess, for instance, for being too egalitarian and insufficiently chaotic: “too simple to be useful in real life: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, no technology tree, no random map or spawn position, only 2 players, both sides exact same pieces, etc.” Sure, this declaration was uttered while seeking to downplay the achievements of World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov (who had accused Musk on television of “moral idiocy”; Musk responded by claiming his iPhone could play better chess than Kasparov).
What is clear is that being bound by rules does not read as fun to Elon Musk. Making up rules, though, and arbitrarily enforcing them? That seems to be another story. Musk in his professional capacity appears to have enjoyed (for example) demanding that employees who work from home return to the office immediately—and sleep at work—only to stop paying rent and shut a number of offices down, such that employees (like those in Seattle) are now forced to work from home. There is joy in this, too—in using your power to make others do humiliating things while refusing to abide by any constraints yourself. Musk isn’t bothering to honor rental agreements or employment contracts. He’s looking for ways to avoid paying severance that is owed. He wants to withhold payments from companies he’s in business with until they renegotiate. The model is familiar, Trumpian: No demand others make on you is legitimate, and no demand you make of others is anything less than fair.
But the thing I can’t stop thinking about is that all this could have been achieved with relative privacy. That’s been his way up until now, anyway; Musk has a long, long record of being a terrible employer, but you might not have heard much about it until recently. Because now, Musk wants attention. He has rebranded as an extremely public troll. That is noteworthy.
The public move is what makes speculating about a billionaire’s motives, however dreary the exercise, worth doing. Because billionaires are usually private, it is more than a little disorienting to watch one dispense with all that and behave with absolutely no constraints on his conduct. Forget playing the game on “hard” mode. What’s clear is that Musk is simply playing. This is all a game to him—and he wants his obviously despotic conduct (which affects the lives of real people in his employ) to be celebrated. He wants

Oh, Elon. When Musk can't even bring himself to promise something, it hasn't even reached the "draw a picture on a napkin and yell at an engineer to make it happen" stage.
Today's big Tesla "INVESTOR DAY" presentation was 4 hours of argle-bargle:
Tesla Inc. shares dropped more than 5% in the extended session Wednesday after the electric-vehicle maker teased a “next generation” electric vehicle platform but stopped short of unveiling many details in a much-hyped event.
At the end of a four-hour investor day presentation, Chief Executive Elon Musk sidestepped a question that sought details about the new vehicles’ performance and looks, the prototype timeline, and whether Tesla would start making them at an existing factory before moving production to its future Mexico factory, as it intends to do.

Elon Musk thinks we’re close to solving AI. That doesn’t make it true.
What he gets right — and very wrong — about AI, from driverless cars to ChatGPT.
An awful lot of what he says about AI has been wrong. Most notoriously, none of his forecasts about timelines for self-driving cars have been correct. In October 2016, he predicted that a Tesla would drive itself from California to New York by 2017. (It didn’t.) Tesla has deployed a technology called “Autopilot,” but everybody in the industry knows that name is a fib, more marketing than reality. Teslas are nowhere close to being able to drive themselves; the software is still so buggy seven years after Tesla started rolling it out that a human driver still must pay attention at all times.
Musk also seems to consistently misunderstand the relationship between natural (human) intelligence and artificial intelligence. He’s repeatedly argued that Teslas don’t need Lidar — a sensing system that virtually every other autonomous vehicle company relies on — on the basis of a misleading comparison between human vision and cameras in driverless cars. While it’s true that humans don’t need Lidar to drive, current AI doesn’t seem anywhere close enough to being able to understand and deal with a full array of road conditions without it. Driverless cars need Lidar as a crutch precisely because they don’t have human-like intelligence.
Teslas can’t even consistently avoid crashing into stopped emergency vehicles, a problem that the company has failed to solve for more than five years. For reasons still not publicly disclosed, the perceptual and decision-making systems for the cars haven’t managed to drive with sufficient reliability yet, without human intervention.
ChatGPT isn’t the profound AI advance that it seems
Despite a spotty track record, Musk continues to make pronouncements about AI, and when he does, people take it seriously. His latest, first reported by CNBC and picked up widely thereafter, took place a few weeks ago at the World Government Summit in Dubai. Some of what Musk said is, in my professional judgment, spot-on — and some of it is way off.
What was most wrong was his implication that we are close to solving AI — or reaching so-called “artificial general intelligence” (AGI) with the flexibility of human intelligence — claiming that ChatGPT “has illustrated to people just how advanced AI has become.”
That’s just silly. To some people, especially those who haven’t been following the AI field, the degree to which ChatGPT can mimic human prose seems deeply surprising. But it’s also deeply flawed. A truly superintelligent AI would be able to tell true from false, to reason about people and objects and science, and to be as versatile and quick in learning new things as humans are — none of which the current generation of chatbots is capable of. All ChatGPT can do is predict text that might be plausible in different contexts based on the enormous body of written work it’s been trained on, but it has no regard for whether what it spits out is true. (Same as Musk.)

Just in case you don't understand why Musk is a bad manager, the reason is he gives orders without thinking. At Tesla, Musk gets ignored when he gives an order because the engineers running the company know that Musk has a short attention span. The engineers have learned the hard way about disasters Musk causes if they immediately do what he says as if Musk knew and would remember what he ordered done. Same thing at SpaceX. Both companies, once they got his money, run well without Musk because he was never more than a bag of money who the engineers could trick so that they can run the businesses the way they want, not the way Musk wants. Typical money bag investors aren't as easy to fool as Musk, who is this generation's Howard Hughes, the crazy man who died rich because he was too crazy to screw up the companies he owned.

Elon Musk: Capitol rioter QAnon Shaman must be freed from prison
The US Capitol rioter known as QAnon Shaman should be freed from prison, Elon Musk said in a Friday night tweet, arguing that the convicted criminal was "falsely portrayed" in the media.
Despite Musk's claims of Chansley's false portrayal, the QAnon Shaman plead guilty in September 2021 to obstructing an official proceeding when he and thousands of others stormed the building to try to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election.
"The hardest part of this is that I know I am to blame," Chansley said in a lengthy statement before he was sentenced, describing a difficult childhood and saying he had taken responsibility for his behavior. Musk is irresponsible because of a difficult adulthood.

Quote:The guy declared himself guilty in front of a judge. 6ix, that means the guy can't later say that he falsely declared himself guilty. "Your honor, I committed perjury when I said I was guilty. Lock me up for perjury, not for interfering with Congress." No judge will listen to this nutjob. I guess he could sue his own lawyer for malpractice by not declaring his client insane, but he can't sue the US government for wrongful imprisonment.

Thanks to Musk, stick a fork in Twitter; it’s done
https://twitter.com/fmanjoo/status/1646868215052779520
About six months ago, Elon Musk bought your favorite neighborhood bar. Then he fired veteran bouncers and bartenders, tried to stiff the landlord and at least one vendor, and demanded that regulars pay a cover charge. He’s frequently struggled to serve his customers, yet he’s penalized them for mentioning the competition. He’s tamped down the revelry in general, really — a lot of conversation at his watering hole has been drowned out by Musk’s own never-ending stage act, which consists mainly of him yelling dad jokes at customers through a bullhorn.
Pour one out for Twitter, then. I’d been open to Musk’s purchase of the social network, but half a year in, it’s been an unmitigated disaster. Musk moved fast and broke nearly everything — the speed and totality with which he’s ruined the site has been almost impressive. By Musk’s own reckoning, the company is now worth less than half of what he paid for it. It has lost many large advertisers, most of its employees and, with them, much of its functionality.
More than that, Twitter under Musk appears to have lost the thing that made it impossible to quit: Its centrality. The site was once the most consequential place online, not just a disseminator of breaking news and commentary, but something like an arbiter. At its cultural peak, from about 2015 to perhaps 2020, what people talked about on Twitter seemed to set the agenda for discussions elsewhere. Even last year, it still mattered: After years of mismanagement and glacial innovation, Twitter, on the eve of Musk’s reign, was still the one place to visit when anything big happened anywhere.
Whatever Twitter is now, it is no longer that venue. Cultural relevance is difficult to quantify, but you know it when you feel it. And now, when something’s going down, Twitter rarely feels like the place where everyone is gathering to watch.
I noticed this when Donald Trump was arraigned. Trump, the most powerful tweeter the world has ever known, a man whose every typo could send Twitter into paroxysms of easy dunks, appeared in court and Twitter was, as Vox’s Shirin Ghaffary put it, “a snoozefest.”
There could be many reasons for the snooze, including that people care less about Trump than they used to — or that even after Musk reinstated Trump’s suspended Twitter account, the former president has stuck to using the platform he founded, Truth Social, for his ad hoc missives.
But I’d bet much of the problem stems from changes Musk has made to Twitter’s news feed.
These days it’s often difficult to know what’s happening on Twitter. Musk’s self-serving changes to the site’s ranking algorithm have significantly reduced its usability: Where Twitter was once pleasantly varied, serving up ordinary people’s tweets pretty evenly with those of celebrities and politicians, now it seems to highlight the same few users all the time. (I love your tweets, Matt Yglesias, but I wish you weren’t always at the top of my feedff)
Other signs of Twitter’s declining relevancy: Several news organizations, including the New York Times, have said they won’t pay for Twitter Blue, Musk’s subscription service for acquiring a verified user badge on the site. NPR said it would stop posting to its official Twitter accounts because Twitter labeled it as “state-affiliated media,” then as “government-funded media.” PBS, which has also been labeled “government-funded,” said that it, too, would stop tweeting in protest of the label. (NPR is a nonprofit that receives very little funding from the government; the label, it says, undermines its credibility.)
Musk doesn’t like the news media — Twitter’s public relations email address auto-responds with a poop emoji — but I can’t see how fighting with the media can help his site. At the risk of blowing my own horn, media organizations are vital to Twitter because the news is at the core of the site’s utility.
Musk has said that Twitter’s algorithms won’t recommend unverified users in its

Censoring for Strongmen Is Now a Pattern For Musk
Musk is often happy to follow foreign governments’ requests to crack down on users they oppose (which is absolutely not “par for the course for all internet companies,” no matter what he may claim). This is evidenced by the fact that Twitter under Musk has approved censorship orders at a higher rate than it ever had before his takeover, especially in repressive places like Turkey and India. In the latter’s case, Twitter has bowed to government requests to censor unfavorable content from global view altogether — such as links to investigative documentaries — and to obscure Indians’ access to foreign governments’ official accounts.

The 2023 riot in Paris happened because the police killed an Algerian. This has happened before. The Paris massacre of 1961 was the mass killing of Algerians who were living in Paris by the French National Police. It occurred on 17 October 1961, during the Algerian War (1954–62). Under orders from the head of the Parisian police, Maurice Papon, the National Police attacked a demonstration by 30,000 pro-National Liberation Front (FLN) Algerians. After 37 years of denial and censorship of the press, in 1998 the government finally acknowledged 40 deaths, while some historians estimate that between 200 and 300 Algerians died.[3][4] Death was due to heavy-handed beating by the police, as well as mass drownings, as police officers threw demonstrators into the river Seine.
The massacre was intentional, as substantiated by historian Jean-Luc Einaudi, who won a trial against Papon in 1999. (Papon had been convicted in 1998 of crimes against humanity for his role under the Vichy collaborationist regime during World War II.) Official documentation and eyewitness accounts within the Paris police department suggest that Papon directed the massacre himself. Police records show that he called for officers in one station to be "subversive" in quelling the demonstrations, and assured them protection from prosecution if they participated.[4][5]

The Twitter CEO responded to an antisemitic conspiracy theory post, giving it legitimacy and views
WASHINGTON - Twitter CEO Elon Musk boosted an antisemitic blood libel on Twitter on Wednesday, replying to a tweet offering a choice between using blood taken from children, linked to an image of U.S. President Joe Biden, or hating Jews, referencing a picture of actor Mel Gibson, who has made antisemitic tirades in the past.
An account known as TopLobsta tweeted: "you can do adrenochrome or you can hate the Js. Which way western men."
The J in "hate the Js" stands for Jews.
"Which Way, Western Man?" is the title of a 1978 book by white supremacist author William Gayley Simpson and an antisemitic meme.
Adrenochrome references a QAnon conspiracy theory about harvesting the chemical from children as a drug.
— Shayan Sardarizadeh (@Shayan86) June 7, 2023
Adrenochrome, a real chemical compound produced by the oxidation of adrenaline, has been co-opted as a fictionalized drug by the QAnon conspiracy theory, which posits that “satanic,” “globalist” and/or "Hollywood” elites harvest adrenal glands from trafficked children as a life-extending or psychedelic drug. It is a 21st century medicalized version of the blood libel.
Musk replied to the tweet with: "Gibson is really that buff these days?" TopLobsta then replied with a fictional Mel Gibson workout plan parodying antisemitism, tweeting "3x10 ADL reprimandation 5x5 holocaust denials 7x3 rabbi bashing."

QAnon's blood libel of trafficking children is rooted in the debunked claim spread throughout social media that an Italian sculpture depicts the alleged murder of 2-year-old Simon of Trent in the 15th century. Jewish residents were falsely blamed for conducting a ritual killing before being tortured into giving false confessions leading to their execution. Pope Paul VI decreed in 1965 that the town's Jewish residents had nothing to do with his death and the whole affair was a fraud.
Both the affair itself, and the claim that the statue in question depicts the alleged affair, have both been proven historically inaccurate, though this has not stopped the antisemitic conspiracy theory from being propagated on social media — and now elevated by among the world's most famous men.
Musk's engagement with the blatantly antisemitic blood libel comes days after the entrepreneur, who has been increasingly scrutinized in recent weeks for invoking antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories targeting Jewish billionaire George Soros, earned plaudits from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the two discussed the potential of artificial intelligence technology.
In a tweeted video statement in Hebrew, the prime minister called Musk, who owns Twitter, "a man whose wisdom and contribution to humanity I very much admire." This conversation followed Israel’s Health Ministry denouncing Musk’s affirmation of a conspiracy theory that played down coronavirus mortality among young people.
"Zero," Musk repeated in reference to a tweet by Zero Hedge, a far-right libertarian blog site that purportedly cited Israeli data that “zero young healthy individuals died of COVID-19.” The Health Ministry called the assertion "fake news."

It Turns Out Elon Is Speedrunning The Enshittification Learning Curve, Not The Content Moderation One from the a-race-to-make-the-site-worse-and-worse dept
Wed, Jul 5th 2023 09:27am - Mike Masnick
Our most popular post last year was my post attempting to help Elon Musk “speedrun” the content moderation learning curve. People still talk to me about that post to this day. What’s been somewhat surprising to me, however, is that while nearly every other social media site eventually figures out the basics of the content moderation learning curve, Musk has a Sisyphean ability to slide back down that curve again and again and again.
But I had a realization over the weekend: it’s not the content moderation learning curve that he’s speedrunning. It’s the Enshittification learning curve.
As you’ll recall from Cory Doctorow’s excellent coinage, enshittification happens through the following process:
first, companies are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves.

k-verge-of-collapse
If you use Twitter, the service that not so long ago was the best way to take in breaking news and find audiences for serious conversations, you may have found it substantially less useful in the past year. Over this past weekend you found it almost unusable. On Saturday, everything melted down. Thousands of users reported that they had major issues using the platform, including an inability to access any tweets or to post their own tweets – so, basically, everything for which one might want to use Twitter.
On Saturday, Musk announced that Twitter was limiting the ways all users could access tweets “to address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation”. In other words, Musk was blaming commercial services that might want to scrape tweets and incorporate them into machine-learning models. There is no reason to believe this is actually happening, but Musk’s longtime hostility to artificial intelligence must have led him to deploy such services as likely suspects to blame for Twitter’s fragility.
Then Musk announced that accounts that didn’t pay for the company’s Twitter Blue service (almost all of them) would be limited to viewing a total of 600 posts a day, while accounts that did pay up would be limited to 6,000. Newly created Twitter accounts would be limited to viewing 300 posts a day. Later on Saturday, after significant public ridicule and anger, Musk twice raised the limits, as if that would appease users. As of Sunday night the limits stood at 10,000 posts a day for Blue subscribers, 1,000 a day for free accounts and 500 for newly created free accounts.
Such chaotic decisions certainly cast further doubt on Musk’s competence. There is no way he ran any predictive analyses to come up with such policies and numbers. He’s just winging it – poorly.
Over the past year, since the former genius assumed complete control of Twitter, he has expressed hostility toward its most loyal and active classes of user, including journalists, political and social activists, and the very businesses Twitter depends on for advertising revenue. By driving away advertisers from an already shaky and poorly run firm, Musk has lurched toward a desperate but ultimately futile move: to coerce (not encourage) users to subscribe to Twitter Blue, a special tier of membership that costs $8 (£6) a month, or 38.29 reis in Brazil, the third-largest market for Twitter after the US and Japan. Those 38.29 reis are about half what most people in Brazil pay each month for internet access itself and is beyond a reasonable expense for the vast majority of people there.
Imagine being the sort of person who decides that even $8 a month is worth paying for a service that just keeps getting worse. Imagine wanting to pay money to the violent and oppressive government of Saudi Arabia, one of the major investors Musk brought in on the deal. This is what Musk is demanding of Twitter users, most of whom just want to keep up with what their favourite celebrities are doing and get alerted to breaking news in their area.
While promising Twitter Blue users a slightly less annoying experience and the potential to reach a larger audience than plebeian users might, Musk has degraded the service for everyone. Whether because of indignation, arrogance, ignorance or desperation, Musk has fired more than half of the staff that it took to keep Twitter running and growing at its peak. Entire teams like trust and safety, which tried to limit threats and hate speech, have been gutted.
Now, no one is even trying to make the experience of Twitter pleasant or unthreatening. Many on the technic

(NOTE: Haken would be doing himself a favor by locking fff.net to only be viewed by accounts, since anybody without an account can read posts here, including Google which can come up with all of your links to pirated intellectual property in a search).

Musk decided to not build self-driving cars the same way as everybody else because he is crazy:
Why Doesn't Tesla Care About Using Sensors for Autonomous Driving?
Tesla's autonomous driving tech used to rely both on cameras and radar, but it ditched the latter and adopted a new approach called Tesla Vision. Musk Vision would be more accurate because it is all Musk's dim idea to cut costs.

The Rich Are Crazy for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Paul Krugman
The Rich Are Crazier Than You and Me
July 6, 2023, 7:00 p.m. ET
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a crank. His views are a mishmash of right-wing fantasies mixed with remnants of the progressive he once was: Bitcoin boosterism, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, assertions that Prozac causes mass shootings, opposition to U.S. support for Ukraine, but also favorable mention for single-payer health care. But for his last name, nobody would be paying him any attention — and despite that last name, he has zero chance of winning the Democratic presidential nomination.
Yet now that Ron DeSantis’s campaign (slogan: “woke woke immigrants woke woke”) seems to be on the skids, Kennedy is suddenly getting support from some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. Jack Dorsey, who founded Twitter, has endorsed him, while some other prominent tech figures have been holding fund-raisers on his behalf. Elon Musk, who is in the process of destroying what Dorsey built, hosted him for a Twitter spaces event.
So what does all this tell us about the role of technology billionaires in modern American political life? The other day I wrote about how a number of tech bros have become recession and inflation truthers, insisting that the improving economic news is fake. (I neglected to mention Dorsey’s 2021 declaration that hyperinflation was “happening.” How’s that going?) What the Silicon Valley Kennedy boomlet shows is that this is actually part of a broader phenomenon.
What seems to attract some technology types to R.F.K. Jr. is his contrarianism — his disregard for conventional wisdom and expert opinion. So before I get into the tech-bro specific aspects of this weird political moment, let me say a few things about being contrarian.
One sad but true fact of life is that most of the time conventional wisdom and expert opinion are right; yet there can be big personal and social payoffs to finding the places where they’re wrong. The trick to achieving these payoffs is to balance on the knife edge between excessive skepticism of unorthodoxy and excessive credulity.
It’s all too easy to fall off that knife’s edge in either direction. When I was a young, ambitious academic I used to make fun of stodgy older economists whose reaction to any new idea was “It’s trivial, it’s wrong and I said it in 1962.” These days I sometimes worry that I’ve turned into that guy.
On the other hand, reflexive contrarianism is, as the economist Adam Ozimek puts it, a “brain rotting drug.” Those who succumb to that drug “lose the ability to judge others they consider contrarian, become unable to tell good evidence from bad, a total unanchoring of belief that leads them to cling to low quality contrarian fads.”
Tech bros appear to be especially susceptible to brain-rotting contrarianism. As I wrote in my newsletter, their financial success all too often convinces them that they’re uniquely brilliant, able to instantly master any subject, without any need to consult people who’ve actually worked hard to understand the issues. And in many cases they became wealthy by defying conventional wisdom, which predisposes them to believe that such defiance is justified across the board.
Add to this the fact that great wealth makes it all too easy to surround yourself with people who tell you what you want to hear, validating your belief in your own brilliance — a sort of intellectual version of the emperor’s new clothes.
And to the extent that contrarian tech bros talk to anyone else, it’s to one another. The tech entrepreneur and writer Anil Dash tells us that “it’s impossible to overstate the degree to which many big tech C.E.O.s and venture capitalists are being radicalized by living within their own cultural and social bubble.” He calls this phenomenon of venture capitalism “VC QAnon,” a concept that I find helps explain many of the strange positions taken by tech billionaires lately.
Let me add a personal speculation. It may seem odd to see men of vast wealth a

Idiot Paul Krugman is just mad that the "wrong" rich people are backing Kennedy.
He'd be thrilled about Kennedy if it were Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet and George Soros that were backing him.
Fuck idiot Paul Krugman.
ETA: Twitter is working just fine and isn't going anywhere. This will end up being one more idiot thing that comes out of Krugman's idiot mouth that I'll get to rub in his idiot face when it doesn't happen.
Why do you listen to that idiot. He hasn't been right about anything in his life.

Here is something crazy Musk did, without thinking about what his fired employees would do to him in revenge: Elon Musk’s Firing Spree Comes Back to Haunt Twitter
The social media company has threatened litigation against Meta for allegedly stealing trade secrets by hiring ousted employees to create Threads in a matter of months.

Crazy people and, especially, Trumptards are never good at correctly imagining the consequences when they exercise their super-inflated ideas of what freedom means. Trumptards and some Democrats cannot grasp the connection between what they do and what happens to them if there is a time delay of more than a week between their action and the consequences. Bad things happen to them for no apparent reason because they don't understand time and mostly never will.

Yeah. He's probably going to win that lawsuit too.
Meta's Threads is not going to overtake Twitter. Just like Mastadon didn't overtake Twitter. Just like Tribal didn't overtake Twitter. Just like Bitchute and Rumble didn't overtake YouTube.
