I hope Santa got you a dictionary for Christmas because you seem to be using a lot of words there a lot more confidently than you should be.

I’m not actually in the Rust ecosystem at all and only just discovered the domain belongs to the official Rust project. That clearly changes the trust calculation in this scenario. I had assumed it was some 3rd party project which would hav

I get what you are trying to say here but I could also make the argument that you actually doubled it because now you have to trust two things rather than one. Depending on how you want to consider trust in a wider sense too it may even be

I feel like maybe you’re responding to an argument I’m not actually making. I don’t disagree with anything you just said in that post.

I’ve yet to see a single consistent principle from them to be fair. Reactionary is kind of their defining feature. I was more talking about the outcomes that tend to follow them around.

I don’t know.. probably more into school shootings and racism than usual? I didn’t pick the term, I was replying to a comment that used it. I was just trying to keep it consistent.

Right. It’s been long known that it only works for a tiny fraction of products that meet a very specific criteria. It’s unprofitable for everyone else which is why most companies are totally ok walking away already. It’s also typically used

I promise you this isn’t a “let’s wait and see” situation. Nobody is going to be splashing out the kind of money needed to buy a Tesla as a car they up until this point they hated at a conceptual level to “own the libs”. These are some of t

It’s not a strawman. I’m talking about very concrete facts. 1. There is not a single instance in the entire history of the internet of a profitable alt right social media website that anyone actually uses. 2. The price he paid was indeed so

That theory fundamentally misunderstands Trumpist mentality which in no way is going to start buying electric cars because they see it as an affront to their fragile sense of masculinity.

They aren’t coming back. I’m going to assume marketing and advertising are not your background but they are mine. I need you to understand that even before Elon, brands were already extremely on the fence about allocating budget towards Twi

Maybe “revenue” is masking the reality of the situation here. No alt right echo chamber is ever in a million years going to be able to provide a good return on investment for $44B. If they go down that path they WILL die which was my origin

I did say social media companies for the record which is what we are actually talking about here.

It’s a matter of historical record that there are no profitable or successful social media companies that could be described as alt-right echo chambers. The only brands that want to advertise on those sites are scams.

Tesla is potentially in meaningful trouble at this point. Basically the entire market of everyone who realistically might consider an electric vehicle in the next five years overwhelmingly wants nothing to do with him moving forward. Sounds

This line you keep telling yourself about it being too early to tell is because you don’t seem to have any kind of business or advertising background. It is obvious and has been for weeks now to those who do. I assure you these are going to

This is wishful thinking. The business is fundamentally broken beyond repair at this point. They lost the majority of their only meaningful income source. They managed to scare off a large number of their most valuable content creators. The
