"If the same thing was happening" It's a hypothetical. Swap the word "Elon" with "AOC".

Are you? AMZN is -48%, TSLA -50%, ZOOM -61%, META -65%, NVDA -40%, GOOG -37%. To pretend that TSLA is an outlier is a bad argument.

Elon's content moderation decisions so far: - no swastikas - no continuous real-time doxxing The people who shrieked loudest that Elon would allow hate and safety threats on Twitter are now shrieking that he's banned hate and safe

He's handing it over to the people. Vox Populi Vox Dei. They will be unbanned shortly, as they should. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603609466301059073 > Telsa stock tanking all because he can'

Not likely a lie. False memories are not uncommon with traumatic events like a child's death. I'd give anyone a pass on that one and give the benefit of the doubt.

You don't luck into the theory of relativity or into building a rocket company. Both took serious effort way beyond the norm combined with a higher than average IQ and determination, those parts you can attribute to luck of birth. They

If he's not, he's certainly close. The point is he produces more than he consumes and does so at high scale. You can measure the impact of Tesla and SpaceX with the number of cars and rockets produced. Payload to orbit and so on.

Only insofar that they are anti-establishment and the media uses them for ragebait, and they troll the media. Trump is a rent seeker celebrity. Elon is one of the most productive humans. They are radically different but both break people&#x

They don't count, apparently. None of this is based on principles.

He has never done so. Point me to a single tweet where he called for death threats against anyone. You can't, yet you defend literal death threats just because you don't like the target.

So why are his haters still so angry? They are against free speech and supported the right for a private company to moderate how it wants. That's what they've been saying the past several years. Elon has come around to their posit

We constantly hear about how the most mundane criticism on social media is inflicting harm, and words are violence and stochastic terrorism, and ChatGPT needs baby guardrails, but when there are literal death threats ( https://twi

Countless literal death threats didn't do it. https://twitter.com/dataracer117/status/1519167734910619649?... But when it starts getting that close to kids, maybe you'd start to take it more seriously to

> He’s instigated death threats against Fauci. No he has not. In fact I bet you can't show us where he's called for anyone's death.

He's being inundated with explicit death threats even more than usual, and usual is a lot*. Leaving the Twitter account up, and those like it, but delaying data by 24 hours is a sensible compromise and the policy applies to everyone&#x

Which is most likely? A) Elon banned the account, reneging on his previous statement, "My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk" B)

It's down 50%. Amazon is down 46%. Are they back into good deal territory?

If he was personally involved, then yes, that's fucked up. Everyone is jumping to the conclusion that he personally did this and it's not in error, which is a leap. It's the same as everyone who blamed Jack personally for ban

You missed the followup where it was reversed 2 days later. "It appears @ElonJet is longer banned or hidden in anyway." https://twitter.com/JxckSweeney/status/1602354433807061070

This assumes a lot. They have a moderation team that doesn't run every thing through him personally. They've also been aggressive about banning bots and valid stuff has gotten caught in that net. I'll be not at all surprised

People who assume there's family money to fall back on are generally themselves in a privileged position. They are projecting that onto everyone else and it's an excuse to not build anything and discouraging anyone to do anything.

That's a good insight. I upvoted you. You may be right, I may be wrong and the timing was merely coincidental.

All that and with 50%+ less overhead. It being an unequivocal success is breaking people that have built their personality around hating someone and are desperate to see them fail.

He's not implying that employees don't create value. Startups share equity with employees. The earlier you are there, the more you get, in part because of the inherent risk. This is why founders get the most equity and the most up

It would be a lot easier if he had used the SBF strategy. I worry that will be the lesson for everyone else.

It's the first thing they are focused on solving. They showed this in last week's presentation.
