Absolutely.    Would you like other guys pointing out Hotez deficiencies?   It was actually more about Hotez but whatever? Why stick around? All the constructive back and forth

He should hire Curt Schilling to run his game studio.

I just want to say that this was a really beautiful, deep comment for those who follow the video game industry (and maybe software in general), not because of Curt’s leanings but because of his business management…skills.  I remember watching it play out in real time and even had a friend that worked at 38 Studios, and I’ve read the articles, read the books that covered it, and it’s still amazing and hilarious at the same time.

Hell, I’ve thought about how I could get the state of Rhode Island to loan me $75 million, but first I’d have to have a Time Machine, go back in time, figure out in high school how to elevate my pitching to a level where I could pitch in college and then make it to the majors, and then win a World Series. It would probably be easier to go back in time and just sink everything I could into Apple stock and get the money that way.

Good. Now let’s find out how many American journalists are willing to do the same thing. 

A lot have jumped, but I've heard more than a few say they really can't due to needing to follow people that are on there. It's easier for EU based journalist to eject as their world leaders aren't using it as a primary platform for announcing stuff.

I would not expect all of them to leave, but any journalist staying on there is aiding a narcissistic megalomaniac in making more money. A long time ago a coach told me you either take a crap or get off the toilet. I will not feel bad for those journalists that stay, whether I like them or not, and wind up covered in feces.

Agree. I think they can let their news desk be on it in a read only, no posting method. But get the fuck off it as individuals.

Now that Leon publicly admitted to throttling anybody posting links to outside sources, we are seeing a large wave of American journalists, bloggers, etc. bail or at least treat Twitter as read-only.  Musk link-throttling them hurts them big time, because they are all trying to drive traffic back to their blogs.

Its actually a huge fucking mistake for Twitter to throttle links in an effort to keep people browsing Twitter because it’s one more huge thing that will drive companies away.

When I see a cybertruck driving in uptown Dallas I assume there’s a 20% chance my death is a result of one of those pieces of shit running me over. 

The funniest thing to me is that I see them wrapped all the time.  The base version is so awful that the first thing people do is go put some clothes on their car.

Normally when people wrap an automobile it's for advertising reasons, but people are trying to disguise the things.

Elon Musk's Neuralink expands offices in Austin area

Quote

Elon Musk’s footprint in Central Texas continues to grow. His brain-computer interface company, Neuralink, will expand in the area with more space and job openings. This comes after Musk already moved several of his headquarters to the region. According to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, construction on the $14.7 billion building started this July.

Filings showed it will be a 112,000 square foot facility on 37 acres of land in the east Austin suburb of Del Valle. It will include a three-story building with offices, a machine shop and manufacturing space.

Quote

Neuralink posted multiple job openings on its website in the Austin-area for positions like engineers, software specialists and manufacturing technicians.

According to state filings, the project is expected to be completed in May 2025.

"You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to work at Neuralink."

"So I just found a major flaw in the Cybertruck’s design. Let me show you,”  “The headlights are actually hidden down below and can you guess what the issue might be in the wintertime?”

“These headlights are amazing. They’re extremely bright. However, I found that the snow is building up right in front of the headlights. So that can be a major problem when you’re driving in the wintertime because if snow builds up right here, the headlights are going to be completely blocked,”

Look Joe, when I designed this thing as a 10 year old back in the 80s, there wasn't much snow where I lived so why the fuck would I have been worried about it?

Sorry that somebody found my sketchbook and decided to put it into production, and if I had it to do over, I would have connected some wires to the metal near the lights to make it hot so the snow would melt.

Can anyone do a wellness check on Pronghorn?

https://www.devx.com/daily-news/fbi-disrupts-russian-ai-bot-farm-spreading-ukraine-disinformation/

The FBI, in collaboration with international partners, has seized control of a Russian-owned artificial intelligence-driven social media bot farm that spread propaganda on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). The bot farm was developed by Russia’s state-run RT News Network and operated by Moscow’s Federal Security Service using AI. The Russian state-sponsored actors used the covert Meliorator software to benefit Moscow’s agenda.

That’s huge, but at the same time, does it matter? Musk was utilizing all of his Twitter resources to influence the election and was doing it openly.

It’s hilarious that with everything he’s done, he still didn’t get the big payout he was hoping for.  I wonder what that would have done for Tesla’s stock if he had won that case.

Vivek Ramaswamy Claims DOGE Will 'Scrutinize' Federal Loans to Tesla's Enemies

Quote

On Monday, the Biden administration announced a $7.5 billion federal loan to a company called StarPlus Energy LLC, which has been contracted to build two electric vehicle battery plants in Kokomo, Indiana. Those plants will be utilized as part of a joint venture between EV maker Stellantis and car battery maker Samsung SDI. ABC reports that, at full capacity, the plants could produce enough batteries to power approximately 670,000 cars annually. You’d think that, in the eyes of the ostensibly nativist Trump administration, homegrown manufacturing jobs would be a good thing. There’s a problem, however: Stellantis is notably a rival of Tesla.

Quote

Characterizing it as a last-minute “spending spree” by the outgoing Biden administration, Ramaswamy vowed to investigate the loan to the electric car maker. “Biden’s midnight spending spree is illegitimate & should be rescinded,” Ramaswamy wrote on X, a platform also owned by Musk. “The Department of Energy just announced a staggering $7.5BN loan to StarPlus, a JV that includes Stellantis (whose CEO resigned just yesterday).”

Quote

In the same post, Ramaswamy also took aim at Rivian, another electric car company that rivals Tesla. “This $7.5BN splurge to StarPlus comes less than a week after the Energy Department shamefully announced a $6.6BN “loan” to a failing Rivian plant in Georgia, and just weeks after Americans voted decisively to end the wasteful spending of the Biden-Harris administration,” he posted.

Investigating your rivals/trying to stop loans to them (all the while Tesla receives a shitload of money from EV tax credits, carbon credits, etc....
