Wait, didn’t he buy his way into Tesla and then forced out the previous CEO or something?
Yeah read the same stuff, it is his way to become innovator :)
I can’t believe I’m rooting for The Zuck. Worse case of “enemy of my enemy” ever.
Though if Twitter does fall Meta should be next. It won’t be, but it’s nice to imagine.
We’ve really entered the Twilight Zone. I’m rooting for The Zuck to win this battle and I’m rooting for Disney in Florida.
As much as Disney influenced my childhood, I definitely have my criticisms on their practices as a company.
Them fighting Ronny is not one of them. I was gonna make a pun on Desantis, but I drew up blank
I’ve just remembered “I’m a free speech absolutist, but not when it comes to parodies of me” and “tweeting my publicly available flight logs is sending out assassination coordinates”. What a joke of an individual. Cry more Elmo.
The same as they first in line to get government money and whine when extra cent goes to public needs.
Using government subsidies to lobby against welfare…
Elmo truly is its own parody account
He’s just upset zuck didn’t pay $42B for his app

The hard part is scaling and building a user base, but threads simply bootstrapped both off Instagram so it probably wasn’t hard for them to make.

I bet they copied some code for mastodon and paid Gargron to not try to go after them. That would definitely give them a huge lift. Otherwise, I don’t see how they were able to quickly come up with this. Tech companies take forever to build stuff usually
He is literally a man-child at this point
Always has been.

I only know one Billy O’Naire, he is kind of a twat.

No idea why people keep buying cars from this guy. Fuck this moron.
I’m in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. It’s amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily there’s a ton of
competitioncheaters nowA conservative was talking at me a few weeks ago about how much he loved how Musk was pissing off the libs and about how he’s a shrewd businessman. I asked if he would buy a Tesla and he said never. He didn’t have a response when I told him Musk doesn’t sound like a good businessman.
My dad was going to buy a Tesla up until a few years ago, there’s far more and better competition nowadays. And it’s really seeming Tesla’s are actively dangerous.
Don’t they have the highest amount of flaws among all car brands or something?
Sure seems like it, and I see an article every other week about the self driving aspect hurting someone or getting into trouble. Just not worth the hassle.
Idk, from what I heard he barely spends his time with Tesla these days due to being preoccupied with twitter 😂
Try charging a non Tesla while on a road trip, you’ll learn fast.
I just went MA -> TN -> OH -> MA and only had one place where all stations were offline, but they came back within a half hour.
I’ve never had a Tesla supercharger be offline.
However I’ve had several EA chargers derated, one at 30kWh. Not to mention broken stalls. Or how about EA charging me the full price even though I paid for their membership thing?
ChargePoint never hit full speed on my last trip.
A random CCS station did better than any of the big names.
Tesla is by far the most reliable, why do you think auto companies are changing to NACS?
If you’re in California, be aware that there’s a hidden/sneaky “EV tax” and you’ll be paying (nearly) double registration fees every year. Mine went from $330 to alamost $700.
Also public charging is starting to be a problem as there’s not nearly enough charging stations and CA does nothing about it.
I mean I wouldn’t call it sneaky, it’s not like a conspiracy or anything. Most states pay for road maintenance and projects from gas taxes. Since EVs don’t use gas but still use roads they should pay their share too, so it makes sense it’d come from the registration. It’s still way less than paying for gas or taxes on gas.
Should be a variable charge like a gas tax placed on public EV chargers and not a one time yearly fee. There is a big consumption difference between a Hummer EV and a Smart EV.
EDIT: Not every state has thought clearly about additional EV fees. Starting later this year, Texans who drive electric cars will pay significantly more in registration fees than an average gas car driver pays in gas taxes each year…because it’s fucking Texas.
Are they going to put a monitor on your home charger then too?
Competition is when things cannot be like your product
like oil market or pepsi and coke etc etc ?
lol. He’s way less smart than he seems…
Imagine if he would have no PR team behind him.
Imagine if he would have no PR team behind him.
or armies of sock puppet accounts that literally brought the Tony Stark hype to critical mass, making him the world’s richest person.
What a rube.
I wonder if this guy is interested in touring the Titanic wreck
I would hope that company stays in business, making the world a better place
That ship sank too, unfortunately.
The company shut down :(
One might say the company imploded
They were under too much pressure.
Can I interest you in a logitec joypad in this trying times? They are known to be sturdy.
Only used once?
If only…
Maybe he would be interested in going to space on his starship rocket, launched from his newly designed launch pad (by himself, no less, who needs rules and pesky engineers?)
What is the context of his tweet?
Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter’s a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.
Goddamn I fucking HATE Zuck the Cuck, but in this one specific case, gotta give the dude credit: That’s hilarious
For the longest time Twitter has been reportedly a fantastic place to work at, and they had some great engineers who would never be lured away to other companies for any amount of money.
Except for the unlikely scenario where Twitter is circling the drain and Meta comes in with an offer to build a competitor from scratch using all the tools at their disposal.
can we not drag elmo’s good name through the mud? i understand it is to dunk on elon but elmo is a wonderful character from my childhood and my four year old daughter loves him also. i just don’t think it is fair to elmo
I thought the same when people described those 2 jabronis that fucked up the end of Game of Thrones as D&D. Like come on, fam. D&D is way cooler than those 2.
Give Wizards of the Coast enough time, and it wont be.
In the letter sent to the Zuck by his lawyers it’s stated that ex-Twitter engineers still have access to Twitter trade secrets, which doesn’t make much sense for people that haven’t worked there for months. This means that either he is basically lying or Twitter is not able to secure itself because they probably have also fired the people in charge to do so
IIRC some of the employees who still have company-owned computers, etc have tried numerous times to return them with no response from Twitter. Like you said probably because those people were fired as well.

According to them they did hire some former Twitter employees but didn’t have them working on threads.
It doesn’t even matter, Elvis fired them, slandered them on Twitter, and now he’s upset that a different company hired them??? Are they supposed to just stay unemployed?
Many fired devs also had a working visa, so if they wouldn’t have work, they would have to move back. I don’t root for Meta, but i can take a little win if Musk is losing.
Jesus Christ I completely forgot that many of the workers were/are H1B visas. Possibly here for many years with spouse and kids. Our immigration system is so fucking dogshit placing all the power over someone’s life in the hands of people like Zuck or Elon. Open borders is best obviously but within some neoliberal system the cruelty here and the privatization of said cruelity is really beyond the pale. Even the chuds should be pissed about this situation since those immigrant workers will be willing to work for dogshit wages and under dogshit conditions (not blaming them, it’s not their fault) and thus lower the working conditions for citizens. Those visas should be unconditionally granted indefinitely pending permanent resident status (green card) and completely untied to any employer. Maybe if I go super libby I’d say make it a requirement they work for a minimum of 6 months within the applied-for position or industry barring being fired (for any reason to avoid BS by employers) or the company going bankrupt. Then they can do whatever they want while waiting for permanent residence… The way it is now is just absolutely bonkers and clearly as fuck designed to torture people with the constant “stay in line, stfu, eat your crumbs or you and your wife will be on a boat next week.” Pretty gross. Shithole country.
I keep telling you that we need to eat the rich.
It’s so much work though.
You have to really scrub them to get all the lotion and bronzer off. Then given they’re absolutely saturated in recreational and prescription drugs you have to brine them for around a week.
Then it’s another day in the smoker low-and-slow for something that’s honestly not very tasty. They’re “ok” if you soak them in BBQ sauce, but it’s one of those things people eat just to say they did – not because they taste good.
The least appetizing meal… Musk is all fat and squishy. Lumpy and yech. But I’ll do my part. Sign me up.
What kind of silverware should we use
Theirs.
I’m sure Meta’s lawyers are shaking in their boots lol
As if there’s any secret to Twitter that any person couldn’t figure out, we’re talking about 280 character messages. I hope they both just cancel each other out.
Scaling it to Twitter’s size is the difficult part. Although Elon has been doing some excellent work in bringing decades worth of engineering work into decay within the short span of the past 9 months.
Facebook is significantly larger than Twitter, in the Billions (depressing). Guessing they have decent ideas how to scale an operation in the 10s of millions of people.
I wonder if Elon helped bolster engineering jobs in other companies. Like “See what happens when you get rid of the engineers you think you don’t need?”
