Based solely on this information, I'm just gonna assume that he has a custom-made Cyberchess set and shows it off.

Wish I had kept down the thread because there is an article with a link to the grok tweet

https://www.comicsands.com/mark-cuban-grok-musk-conspiracy-2669307148.html?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

Most specifically it is response to THIS tweet by Leon

Dude.  Half of the top 10 podcasts are fascist or fascist friendly.  It's fucked.  Mark Cuban correctly noted that the "mainstream media" these days IS the fucking hard-right.  Fox News, and the podcast universe, and a single fucking website owned by a broken-brained racist and authoritarian piece of shit (the subject of this thread) dominate media now.  Right-wingers LOVE to be told only what they want to hear, and they are drawn to sources that will do so like moths to a flame.

so i am a bit late here, but has anyone, and i mean anyone in the fucking world stopped to maybe ask, i dunno, what the metrics here are? how are the trending podcasts moving the meter? is it engagement with paying subs? is it bots? because if that top ten is legit, then am radio has taken over the podcast world, which, given how timelines work, is probably about right, but jesus christ. 

anyways, the metrics have to be somehow cooked. but i've thought that about everything for awhile now. 

the metrics are all fucked. something is wrong

If you are happy with your life, you aren't sitting around listening to people rail for hours about how bad things are and how they are not your fault and it's somebody else's fault, etc.

Outrage sells.

man, you're fucking right. podcasts used to be pretty tight 50 - 60 minute traditional media sort of affair, except on a weekly basis or whatever. 

now they are fucking hours - who has time for that?

The scene used to be so much better. Honestly, even Joe Rogan's podcast used to be pretty good at times, too. He still had on plenty of cranks and shitheads, but he had tons of scientists and other people that do cool shit just to geek out about animals or black holes or whatever. His interview with Bernie Sanders is arguably the best one Sanders has ever given. The hard right shift was very quick after the Spotify deal and all that coincided with the whole sector shifting incredibly right wing. He went from asking questions and listening even to people he might disagree with, to actively trying to be a weirdo debate lord.

There are still some pods I will catch, but most of them are about poker and shit, I try to avoid anything resembling politics.

Watching the guy behind WordPress self-immolate and potentially divide/destroy at least part of the WordPress community, it's definitely reminiscent of Leon, complete with the WordPress guy threatening to "go nuclear" on a competing company.  People are wondering if he's having a manic episode, and that would explain a lot about other tech millionaires/billionaires....

It quickly gets pointed out that Elon counts, or counted, Diddy as a friend and identified him as an investor/loser in Twitter/X.

JRE was perfect for the guy who has an office job, a 30+ minute commute, and a gym routine. Long-form conversations, variety, and an easy-to-skip ad read at the beginning.

Back in the 2010s it was like 40% comedians/performers, 20% martial artists, 20% obscure experts (journalists, hunters, CEOs, hackers, physicians), 5% pure academia people (researchers, professors), and 15% internet personalities (youtubers, podcasters).

He started booking some of the Intellectual Dark Web guys like 2013-2014, but it wasn't really until the Trump administration that they started to get booked way more often. I stopped being a regular listener probably around the same time Trump took office, and every time I check back in he gets more and more unhinged. Covid, then moving to Austin, then the Spotify deal, now he's booking guys like Matt Walsh and Peter Thiel and running an incel mothership at the Ritz.

Fuck him.

Cybertrucks continue to be giant piles of garbage

https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/3/24261099/tesla-cybertruck-recall-reverse-camera-delay-software

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s report, the recall applies to over 27,000 Cybertrucks “manufactured between November 13th, 2023 and September 14th, 2024,” which applies to essentially every Cybertruck ever made.

Tesla Cybertrucks running version 2024.32.5.2 or later could have a condition where the reverse camera feed “may appear blank for up to 6 to 8 seconds” if the customer tries to back up before the vehicle completes a shutdown and boot-up process. Federal regulations require reverse camera feeds to appear within two seconds.

Is this what they mean when they speak of 4D chess? Lasers from space?

 

Also, are those Jewish space lasers, or different space lasers?

I squeezed in next to a shittily parked cyber truck at the pediatrician’s office yesterday and it is really such a ridiculous vehicle. The shape of the vehicle does not relate to the dimensions needed for a functional passenger vehicle. I don’t know if it’s mostly fisheye but the dash there is ridiculous.

Translation: my billionaire buddies and I fully intend to totally ratfuck this planet till it becomes unsustainable.  So you better remove regulations so we could maybe build a lifeboat that only we billionaires will get to use.  And, umm, ignore the fact that removing those regulations will ALSO be the thing that allows us to totally ratfuck this planet.

Unless I'm allowed to break all the labor laws and dump metric fucktons of Mercury into the Boca Chica wildlife refuge, humanity will not make it!

lol at all the fart sniffers that thought they were saving the planet by buying a Tesla now waking up and finding out Elon gives no shits about the environment and is campaigning to remove regulations that protect the environment.

I thought this was a pretty good description of Tesla's head start in the EV space:

How the fuck can a Ceo that takes so much tax dollars from our government be so blatantly partisan. It's completely destroying Teslas value and no one cares.

The least he could do is come up with something new.

I used to think Elon deserved the guillotine but no so sure anymore.

Maybe something more appropriate.

The best part is that the article actually fact checks this and:

  1. if Musk’s Starlink had received the money:

    1. The build out the money was funding wouldn’t have started until 2025.

    2. This was just for them to setup shop, there’s no guarantee that locals could have afforded the expensive $120 a month (plus hardware fees) the service costs.

    3. Or that the power would have been on so that the dishes could have been used.

    4. Or that roof-mounted dishes would have survived the storm.

  2. The FCC decision was based on the fact that Starlink didn't meet the speed goals of the subsidy program.

  3. Starlink was gaming the system to get subsidies by finding random parcels of land that didn't show service and claimed them as serviceable aread - including medians and roudabouts.

Dude is a piece of shit and needs to be called on this one big time.

That summary is sufficient.  He's a psychotic pathological lying narcissist....who has, naturally, latched on to ANOTHER psychotic pathological lying narcissist.  

There's not a single fragment of Elon's being that isn't "pure piece of shit."  

Just (finally) deactivated my twitter account.  I just can't be a party to this anymore.  

Goddamnit. Now he is commenting on the floods in Tennessee and claiming FEMA is blocking people from helping and people think it’s  true.
