Well in the case of Musk, you can just listen to what he says directly, he blasts every thought out on that website, for better and worse. The picture you get of him by listening to him directly is so different than how he is portrayed by t

I don’t know or care enough to question it. I am assuming them making false claims like that would open them up to some kind of lawsuits WRT advertisers or something?

It’s clear that old school media _really_ does not like Musk or X and are doing anything they can to make him/them look bad. But also, the more articles you write about “rocket man bad”, doesn’t it become more and more obvious what you

Why doesn’t anyone organize a protest or march for stuff like this? I would join that.

“The only appropriate response” implies that Jews cannot be criticized or questioned in any way. Reading the exchange it is very obvious that musk does not hate Jewish people and is not saying anything hateful about them.

The posts I quoted are literally follow ups to the exact thread that everyone is talking about. Musk has had a previous series of exchanges and controversies specifically with the ADL as well since they started a multi-brand advertising boy

Well the problem in this case is that there was an exchange of multiple tweets, but you can just pull a nitter link of the one offending tweet and taken in isolation it looks hateful. If you take the full exchange it doesn't read as ha

From his original post: musk: "The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups

Pretty much, yes. From Musk: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1724933980276084909 Article from CNN talking about their definition of racism. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/us&#x2F

Here he is defending the Jewish state from calls to violence https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1725645884409401435 There is more nuance here than what the article is saying.

Musk posted follow-up responses to his own response to someone who is Jewish. There is nuance in the discussion that is being completely lost. Here is one of his responses further down: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/stat

It's very true, you have to have a Twitter account otherwise it's really hard to tell what the heck is going on.

The ADL also defines racism as something that only white people are capable of. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/us/anti-defamation-league-rac... They changed the definition in 2022 from: "Racism is t

Somewhat interesting that the full context of the thread is not published or any discussion around it, only the one sentence from Musk and a few words from the post to which he was responding.

I like the idea of Rust, its technical merits etc, but good lord this language has some crazy weird and intimidating syntax. I read the code snippets and am just confused as heck. Did it really have to look like this?

Sorry I'm not sure I understand what you mean, how is the west digging its own grave?

You can also find some quotes from Obama saying “those jobs are just not coming back”. The tiny amount of manufacturing they have tried (and mostly failed) to bring back pales in comparison to what the US used to produce.

by Dig1t 3y ago
This is a commonly restated falsehood, manufacturing doesn’t have to be a commodity, you can just have labor laws and unions. The US had a thriving manufacturing sector for generations and it was the backbone of our economy, then we gave it

This is astounding. This is the kind of demo that we could only dream of just five years ago, now some hacker dude on Twitter can just throw this kind of thing together. Seriously cool.

Hyperbolic and chock full of conspiracy theories. This rant contributes nothing substantive to this site.

It is not laughable, Starlink satellites are in a low enough orbit that they will automatically deorbit due to air drag. They will not contribute to Kessler Syndrome. >SpaceX said that a large part of Starlink satellites are launched at

Musk's title is chief engineer, he has stated many times in interviews, and has been corroborated by other spacex engineers, that all engineering decisions go through him.

"anything I disagree with is hateful violence" Come on, you are doing more harm than good by watering down what those words mean. saying words != violence firing someone != violence retweeting something != violence

I have great internet connectivity because of Starlink, before that was available we were treated like garbage by traditional internet companies and we had basically no options. Now my family can enjoy the awesome benefits of the internet:

Many machinists, welders, etc would have asked the same question when we shipped most of American manufacturing overseas. There was a generation of experienced people with good jobs that lost their jobs and white collar workers celebrated i
