I'm sure Ford, GM, et al are pretty ecstatic about his current behavior. It's almost like he's intentionally trying to offend and turn off the largest demographic of EV buyers.

Yeah, I noticed lately this past year I've been seeing a lot more of non-Tesla EVs in my area (which is probably the ideal target demographic for Telsa and other EV makers). Especially Ford Mach-Es, VW ID4s, and now that new Polestar.

Yep, there was 'diesel-gate' back in the early-mid 2010s and even today the way the company overlooks the behavior of the Chinese government is also very unsavory (a problem Elon has as well)

Interestingly I did end up buying an ID4 and it's been great for a full year now. It's not perfect but I like that is has more of a "traditional" interior compared to Tesla, which felt kind of like a giant tablet with a

At this point I'd imagine Tesla is better off with Musk being distracted by his shiny new toy. Though I'd be concerned about the effect he is having on their brand image. Even two years ago I was on the verge of buying a Tesla but

My kid was in a montessori preschool for most of 4 years old and it was a big disaster for him as well due to his ADHD (which we suspected at the time but was not yet confirmed). He was kicked out of the school before the year was up and t

I love "The Twitter Files" name, it's hilarious and totally keeping in character with the conspiratorial nature of those involved (sounds like The X Files, very mysterious and suspicious!). The episodic format of this - along

With 3-12 month CDs now offering much higher interest than my fixed-rate mortgage I'm just happy to dump my extra cash there (after having maxed out on ibonds I guess). I guess I don't see the need to "beat inflation" wh

I wasn't laid off but after my company announced layoffs I received ~25 messages on linkedin from recruiters so I think things are still pretty good if you have a decent resume. I am currently in interview process with about 5 compani

Maybe I'm ignorant of what TikTok is but it seems to be mostly about video sharing and less about "social networking" with friends and family?? I also think TikTok has serious risks going forward re Chinese government. Alread

I've been wanting to go back to the office, at least part of the week, as I feel pretty isolated and detached from my team and miss some of the traditional office amenities like coffee and nearby restaurants. But every time I tell myse

It's been pretty clear what the terms are: Putin completely leaves Ukraine lol. Why is this so hard for people to understand?? This isn't about America, it's about the people of Ukraine. If this were all true Putin could just

The Ukraine-Russia conflict was started by Putin lol. I guess he could have totally foiled America's plans by...not invading Ukraine Somehow, none of these conversations and theories about US-Russia proxy war and US "escalating&qu

I used to feel the same way as you about large touch screens in cars as the main interface in place of physical tactile buttons but I've come to accept that's just the way it is now and if you're looking to buy a new car it&#

But Elon has also stated multiple times that Twitter is the best and most accurate place for news. This is directly contradicted by the fact that the "twitter is burning down" rumor was spread on twitter and lots of uninformed peo

by coolbreezetft22 4y ago
Yeah, seems most likely it will continue to run but won't make much revenue and changes will be harder. It's not like HN or sites like 4Chan require a lot to keep running but if Elon is hoping to get some return on his $44billion

by coolbreezetft22 4y ago
Yep, it's pretty hilarious to me that after all the grand promises made about improvements Elon and his cult have been reduced to boasting hysterically about Twitter just merely still being up and running.

by coolbreezetft22 4y ago
Seems like an unsubstantiated rumor? Though I'd happy for this to be true

This seems very widely reported in the media, it was the feature story in The Economist this week and had multiple articles in it. Didn't a lot of other new revelations on this come out of reporting by Financial Times and Vox as well?

Honestly can't tell if this is in parody or not lol

The layoffs are so far confined mostly to "big tech" and other high-profile tech companies like Twitter and Stripe. After the Meta layoff news my linkedin was absolutely flooded by recruiters from smaller-mid size companies and n

It's only 9am and he's already tweeted several times this morning about random nonsense - including a complaint about congress ignoring the FTX fiasco overlaid over an image of two Rhinos having intercourse. Which is another misle

Is he working though?? It seems to me that he just spends all day on twitter. Not all that different from myself actually, except no one is writing books and stories about me and my mythical 100 hour work weeks.

by coolbreezetft22 4y ago
Seeing Elon flail about so publicly like this is just hilarious to me. I feel like we're way off track right now from his original purpose of buying twitter (more free speech or something??? then it was bots then 8$ checkmarks and I c

As a parent of two small kids, preparing for interviews is a major hassle if you're not a leetcode wizard. I can barely manage 1 practice question a day because I'm so exhausted all the time. I'm at meta and was fortunate eno
