I'm stereotyping Musk here, but it wouldn't surprise me if he decided to solve it with AI (sentiment analysis specifically) so the algorithm promotes positive tweets and downranks negative ones. Might even work, since the field ha

Depends on what we mean by that; SpaceX might be what he takes the most pride in (due to the much longer-term vision, and more "grandiose" nature of space exploration). What I meant was that Tesla is his first priority, which he m

It's pretty common for the CEO, CFO and general counsel to be dismissed after acquisitions in circumstances (like here) where the acquisition is a disavowal of their vision and leadership. Keep in mind there are far more executives tha

I expect Tesla will still be his "crown jewel". He's already announced he's searching for a Twitter CEO. I doubt it would take him much time out of his day to set a general vision for Twitter. Jeff Bezos for example owns

Tesla Autopilot discussions still have good content, but the Musk-Twitter deal is far more political than technological, and, when you combine that with the (small minority) of rabid anti-Musk sentiment, I don't doubt HN is capable of

Now that we know this was a hoax, it's sad that some people took this "news" and ran with it, with wild criticisms of Musk (even trying to psychoanalyze him). I hope people take some time to reflect on their personal bias her

It's not; the title says CNBC reported layoffs have started; not that CNBC fell for a hoax. There is literally zero other backing for "layoffs have started"; not anonymous sources, not official sources, not CNBC investigation

I'm hearing these two guys were IRL trolls (not Twitter employees), and CNBC was bamboozled.

The value generated by employes determines the market capitalization, not the delta between market cap and acquisition bid. Whether you pay "above market price" or not has nothing to do with the value employees provide, but with h

Though this article is neither labelled "opinion" or "editorial", is is clearly an opinion piece, in both headline and content. Such blurring of the lines is widespread, and harmful to journalistic integrity.[0] Nothing

> it basically indicates that Musk doesn't trust them. Hmm, that's not optimal. I don't read it like that. The most anti-Musk people have likely already left. But with Peiter Zatko alleging serious security breaches, dysfu

Sure, but my point is that asking whether it's okay to call is somewhat rare among CEOs (boomer or not), while it's extremely prevalent among Gen-Z.

This is a significant misunderstanding of what shareholder oversight does. All the biggest shareholders were humongous asset managers; hard to call that "democratic" governance. Shareholder oversight is limited to addressing the a

Far from a Boomer attitude (they love calling and aren't as comfortable with texts), it's very much a Gen-Z attitude. But these descriptors obviously make no sense when we're talking about CEOs, not random people for whom &qu

Under the detailed criteria listed here[0], it seems plain that he qualified for the $50k award when it comes to the Mac vulnerability, and the $25k award for the iOS one. Since they're fundamentally the same flaw, he'd likely onl

Fair enough! However, if the channel was inactive, I guess it's hard to distinguish an upcoming project with a squatted channel. Maybe contact Telegram?

I do point out here that the timing of this leak (which clearly came from the DoJ itself) is very suspect, given that it could have depressed Tesla's stock price, and it came right before Musk is expected to need to sell a little more

For what it's worth, I couldn't find any links anywhere on the net (Google, Bing...) to " https://t.me/kissfm ". I've searched for even small Telegram channels I follow, and they all show up in search

I haven't seen anyone note the timing of this: Musk is buying Twitter today or tomorrow, and he'll likely need to sell more Tesla stock unless he can get additional financing. This news will obviously depress Tesla stock. The timi

The Biden admin has clearly signalled that it resents Musk personally due to his political views, but this probe was launched last year, and is completely unrelated to that.

Not just insulting to the dev, but to users as well. Any app on my Mac being able to eavesdrop at all times when wearing AirPods is "worth" just $7k to Apple? I'm reminded about the Apple Music passage in the After Steve book

This comment is highly misleading; the DoJ probe centers on fraud and "misleading consumers, investors and regulators". It has nothing whatsoever to do with manslaughter, and Reuters never even hinted at this.

2 months is hardly far into the future, and no Apple analyst would agree that it's irrelevant. People expect it to be bigger than Apple Watch, and to eventually supplant both computers and phones.

That's what Apple's lawyers argue. The 30% is to pay for Xcode and the APIs. It's BS; Apple's providing an iPhone SDK willingly in order to make the iPhone a viable product. The argument completely falls apart when you c
