Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I have no doubt that Elon does recreational drugs of all sorts and probably has an unhealthy relationship with them. What there is also no doubt of, is that Elon is a meth-head whose behaviors can be attributed to being a meth-head. Despite how much we'd all enjoy that story line and how funny it would be, it's a silly conjecture. That's all I'm saying.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I have read enough to know that you are equating your sister's unfortunate journey, seeing similar personality issues and deteriorated behavior patterns, and genuinely think Elon Musk is a meth addict. I do disagree because I think something of that magnitude (addiction to meth) would be impossibly hard to hide. But Occam's Razor ain't for everyone, I guess.

Once you fall in love with your hypothesis (e.g. Elon is a meth addict), you really can't shake from it, can you? Gotta be a name for that bias and logical fallacy.

Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
Same. I love TCLs for the roku ease of use and TV's are such a commodity you can just buy 65 inch TCLs every few years if you need to. Also they make for great holiday gifts for friends/family and kids. Obviously cinephiles or techies are going to want the OLED, 8k, etc. etc. but that's not us. We just want to stream stupid crap from time to time.

First time seeing atomheartbevo? He bloviates on tons of topics, it’s not just this and doesn’t mean anything specific to Elon.

Tbh, I lost all respect for the guy when he simp’ed over Grimes, a mediocre talent who looks like a homeless meth addict. That was the sign that he wasn’t the genius we thought he was, and here we are.

I think because they serve fundamentally different communication patterns, by design. I hear Mastadon is the new Twitter?

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Generally agree, but like I said, the guy bought it so he can do with it what he wants up to and including blowing it up (along with a massive amount of his own wealth). In that respect this is ridiculous and funny. While admittedly it is hard for me to muster a lot of sympathy for Twitter employees, ultimately you are correct. These are people who are having to go through a disruptive time and potential disruption in employment in a volatile time. I have to dig a bit deeper than you do, but the empathy for them is there. As far as the whining journalists and celebrities and influencers/content creators, I could not give less a crap that their favorite medium is a tire fire. There are others and society will move on (and it’s a net positive to do away with social media, one application at a time).

I’m enjoying it immensely, you weirdo. I also like calling him Elmo as we’ve done, because Elon Musk is not my standard.

The inverse of Elon stanboi’s are the people who have such a deep hate for him that they are offended and upset even when funny and comeuppance happens. Enjoy the meltdown.

Agreed; in fact and I said in the other thread, 3 months severance to "quit" is downright gracious. Not seeing the problem here. edit to add: I'm hearing the RIFs in other big tech is 60 days severance from my friends at AWS and SFDC.

Make a kid walk .5 mile home = child endangerment. We have lost our fucking minds.
It's mostly annoying wives and their emasculated husbands coming to shop, it seems.

All you guys crapping on Waco, I'm telling you-- bought a crappy house and spruced it up as a short-term rental, and it's a cash cow. Have multiple friends STR'ing the crap out of Waco and it's glorious. Don't live there; exploit it.

The Twitter Debate
Seems downright gracious.

population decline
Are you arguing that all modern economic systems are ponzi schemes? I mean, I could see it (if you are), but like I said, that's wholesale change management to try to pivot from our conception of economy and labor and wealth and freedom/sovereignty.
-
population decline
Decreasing population is good. I read and posted somewhere else on this site that the UN predicts we peak at 10.X billion people (at 8bn currently) and then it declines back down to a more "sustainable" level for the earth. That said, economically, we have to move our thinking from the infinite, growing-the-pie approach to a more finite, zero-sum this is how big the pie can actually be and let's put a plan in place to make it work. Lastly, and I hope this isn't too CR, but Andrew Yang was ahead of his time. Automation, Future-of-Work, Digital Labor, whatever you want to call it needs to be understood and addressed politically and domestically because it's incubating commercially and policies, regulatory bodies, safeguards (social security, etc.) need to be ready for this new world. UBI must be piloted in America IMO.

Elon is doing what he wants, as is his purview and predilections, which is the luxury of buying the dang thing. Sure, he's torching it, and alongside it his own money, and we think it's stupid, but hey, he bought it.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Yep-- I agree, he's torched a ton of money (Twitter's, Tesla's, his own) in the short term. I'm talking long term and in a vague, crazy way in the same way we talk about how some quarterbacks just always seem to evade the sack. But to your point again, there are good odds that the damage he's done and will continue to do will be beyond repair, as well. This is what makes it a fascinating story to watch. If ever there was an appropriate time to characterize something as a train-wreck that you can't stop watching and morbidly curious how it all plays out, I think this is one of those times.

Jonah Hill was awesome as Peter Brand aka Paul DePodesta, so this checks out!

Also poor Kanye West who if you touched with a feather would collapse like a house of cards. Now that I'm thinking about it: Kanye Trump Elon All having their comeuppance and time in the barrel, one after another, very publicly. The tide appears to be turning. If you are a public or celebrity provocateur, you might take notes, read the room, and go in hiding for a bit if you want to stay solvent.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I agree with everything you have said about Elon and especially what he's done the past...checks notes...2 weeks only? Sheesh. But, if I were a betting man, I wouldn't count ole "Elmo" out. I think there are decent odds that somehow, someway, he bounces out of this mess to get back to even (or even growth/better). The guy seems to have sold his soul for the midas touch with this stuff. But then again, it could be he finally flew too close to the sun on wings made of a blue bird logo.

Is Elmo your nickname for Elon? Just catching up on this thread.
