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

I’m surprised the discovery of Adrian Dittmann being one of Elon’s sock accounts is not bigger news. The fucker called into Alex Fucking Jones pretending to be someone else and now Elon’s doubling down instead of admitting the truth or saying “I was hacked” to cover up for drug fueled Tweets replying to himself. He must think the general public are as stupid as his disciples who pay for FSD but are still waiting for a finished product and won’t dare to bitch about how they’ve been hoodwinked for thousands of dollars.

Elon has learned over and over again that there are no consequences for him, so why would this be any different?

Somehow this went viral. Tesla ordered $6k worth of stuff from a small bakery then didn't pick up the items and refused to pay. Offered the bakery owner a factory tour instead. Once it went viral, Elmo said he'd pay it. But will he?

So, Elon bought a laptop today, and he's puzzled over Microsoft's terms of use when setting up a new device:
 
 
So, he started to use Twitter as tech support, and says he reached out to the CEO of Microsoft:

Wait…so it’s ok when his platform mines all kinds of shit and applies arbitrary moderation, boosting, and banning. And his cars? They require you to place your left nut in a vise to activate any number of features, like “starting the engine,” and “stopping.” But when the Microsoft suite requires you to set up a Microsoft account, that’s a bridge too far.

Remember the only rule for plutocrats: rules for thee, not me.

LMAO from that article 

"The thought that Chinese-quality engineering and design are not as high quality as the legacy carmakers — that should be put to bed," Tu Le, the founder of Sino Auto Insights, a consultancy focusing on the Chinese EV market, told me. "Right now, the legacies don't have competitive products. There's a vacuum. If China EV Inc. were allowed to enter the US today or next year, the legacies would be gutted."

We are witnessing a shock to the global automotive order unseen since Japan barreled into the market in the 1970s. China's EV ascendance has sparked a fight that is forcing companies to stretch the limits of their technological capability and policymakers to reimagine the ideological underpinnings of decades of trade strategy. What's at stake is nothing less than a US industry worth $104 billion, about as much as Angola's national GDP, and all the 3 million jobs that come with it.

"It's a global game. It has been a global game," Le said. "Motherfuckers just haven't been paying attention."

How about "Hey, you haven't been paying attention that we're not going to buy your stupid EV cars because they're just rolling ChiCom personal data collection machines"?

Boston Dynamics already selling these to many, many large customers from many industries.  The smoothness of stairs is crazy. The value is immense. They are "only" $75,000 base which when you think of what they are doing is really cheap.

 

That's not bad for a quadruped.

CNN needs to up their reporting, since clearly, motherfuckers just haven’t been paying attention.

I've been saying this for a looong time. China has invested a lot of money into their science/tech infrastructure (not going to touch upon info theft) and the U.S. has been coasting and cutting for decades. Chickens roosting yada yada....

The techlord who can't figure out how to start a pc without creating a microsoft account is going to -- as we already know -- conquer email. His fanbois are already calculating the pot o' gold.

My personal twitter account which I have spent no time curating is a fascinating scroll through. It’s filled with anti immigrant stuff, straight up conspiracy theory nonsense and a bunch of stonks idiots pretending to be quants.

I still scroll through the "For You" feed. Even though it's incredibly frustrating I still want to see what the algorithm is suggesting. The conservative/right wing stuff is much different now. I haven't see a Ben Shapiro or Daily Wire or Fox News tweet in ages. It's all culture war/Tesla/AI-focused accounts. Absolutely zero tweets from leftist type accounts show up. 

I also have a separate account focused more on music/bands that I rarely use. But I get 2-3 phone notifications a day with tweets focused on Taylor Swift (even though I don't follow or ever post about her). I'm guessing Elon is just trying to find ways to get more traffic from younger people. 

I'm on Surly WAY more these days and it's probably a direct effect from how shitty Twitter has become under Elon. Paying people for high engagement is the biggest dumbfuckery move that Musk made. Twitter is overrun with scammers. His version of "free speech" is paying him monthly to boost engagement and push you to the top of all replies. All non-blue checks are thrown by the wayside. He truly is the biggest dipshit asshole. When I am king he will be first against the wall.

The enshittification of Twitter and Facebook has forced me onto surly a lot more.  I went from 4-5 hours per week on those 2 sites, checking surly maybe an hour a week, to never logging into Twitter, checking Facebook 15 min/week, and spending 2-3 hrs/day on surly.

“I think I’ve got a pretty good understanding as an outsider of China,” Musk said on the All-In Podcast. “From their standpoint, maybe it is analogous to Hawaii or something like that, like an integral part of China that is arbitrarily not part of China.”

He's going to go down so poorly in history and I, for one, am here for it 

I hope he dies in the funniest way possible and they rename the Darwin Awards to the Musk Awards
