Thanks! I’ve saved his interview with Kim Stanley Robinson on climate change to listen to later. Looking forward to it.

I guess they were too busy to announce these checkmarks come with a guarantee from Sylvester McMonkey McBean.

The @bestofdyingtwit version didn’t have the account being responded to. Too long for alt text. What a thing to lie about.

As always, reviewing the facts of Elon’s personal history is like watching the movie Zelig after Woody Allen has been digitally removed (because he is a monster)

Released his buggy self-driving beta test on one of the busiest travel days of the year? That’s supervillain territory.

Tesla had blocked the use of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software south of Bloor-Danforth back in March, reportedly due to the difficulty FSD had with TTC streetcars stopping and letting off passengers in the middle of the street.
“The official answer we got from Elon Musk was streetcars,” Chansoo Byeon told CBC News after the Tesla enthusiast received a personal answer from the company’s CEO himself on Twitter.
Hopefully some Telsa won’t go plowing through people getting on or off. (And how are they at school buses?)

He doesn’t give a shit if people die.
Problem solved!

The quote stating it was a Tesla was from a Fox affiliate, which used video from Citizen in which I think I see a second Tesla (with no obvious damage). In a second video there it remained in front of the flatbed clearing away the wrecked black one and the white car that was pinned against the tunnel wall.

Those members who suffered abuse are now on notice that their tormentors will return. And they return to a Twitter with a greatly diminished staff to respond to any further claims of abuse, and a CEO who has demonstrated indifference to their potential suffering.
Twitter has billions of dollars of debt to service, but runs at a loss. Musk has reportedly said bankruptcy is a real possibility if the service can’t improve its financial position. Users are deserting and advertisers are nervous about brand safety. Its CEO has not indicated how he thinks letting known abusers back onto the platform will help.

He said he’s considering making his own phone if Apple and/or Google cracks down on his stupidity

That’ll definitely roll out before he has to file bankruptcy.

Okay. Yep. I admit it. I’m with Adam Conover now. This isn’t intentional, these guys are all just fucking stupid. The breaking part for me, the part that couldn’t get my head to tick over from “intentional action” to “he’s a real fucking moron” is that everyone in media is so convinced he’s playing 5D chess. Even the people that dislike him in the press seem to be looking for alterior motives.
But there aren’t any. There never were. This is simply a dumb fucking white guy who started on third and thinks he hit a triple.

On my wiki, I’m wrestling with tagging him alt-right. I mean, he’s headed for that iceberg and it’s fated; it is his destiny. I might as well do it now and not have to worry about when he rips his side open.
Meh. Done.

If he’s one of those “open minded people who listens to both sides” but only votes on the right, he’s not just a “right voter” , he’s a dishonest alt-right voter.
Centrists who only vote for the right are alt-right.
