Elon Musk

in the US the supposed checks and balances system is kind of a farce and an afterthought based on constitutional interpretation (branches to create, execute, and judge according to to law) but we kept adding little hacks and totally new things like the stock market appeared, agencies that may or may not have actual teeth to do things. and there are even libertarian types who have now argued that regulatory agencies can’t enforce anything, and the concept is going through courts. are the SEC, FCC, etc really able to block things or levy fines without a jury trial? maybe not!

DETAILS: Rick Ross won't ride in Teslas because he's afraid they will automatically drive him to the police

"I've always had in the back of my mind, the government could tap into the brain of the car. 'OK, where's Rick? Nah, bring him in for questioning.'https://t.co/bWkCL9b3sP

guess he forgot he is police

Rick Ross - Fuck Tha Me

The poor engineers at Twitter have to talk to these weirdos Elon invites and pretend like they're trying to solve the imaginary problem that their tweets don't get enough likes pic.twitter.com/Ikalc8GN1o

twitter engineers supplying dave rubin with a black box that makes his posts less shit

at last a task worthy of AI

it has self driving tho

@elonmusk @TeslaOwnersWW @BLKMDL3 Family was excited to receive Tesla Y delivery on 1/24/2023. Was driving on highway and all the sudden steering wheel fall off, was lucky enough there was no car behind and I was able to pull on devider #SafetyFirst #Fixit #TeslaModelY #help pic.twitter.com/4UMokFA2cv

If your steering wheel falls off just lean to the right or left to turn the car.

You are too strong. I wasn’t able to fall off any steering wheel of my two Teslas. Lol

xpost - Elon leaned so hard to the right that he's still spinning in circles out in the parking garage

it kills me that the I Think You Should Leave focus group sketch is basically Tesla irl

he admit it!

2️⃣ The verification scandal in November was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Data from the Standard Media Index (SMI) suggests that ad spend on Twitter dropped by 71% in December year on year. It was 55% in November.

Since the Elonjet thing this guy seems to have scaled back his public bullshit. Maybe someone was able to convince him to stfu.

omg

God it's so fucking funny that he fired everyone who knows how the site works pic.twitter.com/cPxvEIUWkN

supposedly bonuses get paid out today so there may be another exodus happening

i think Twitter just straight up doesn’t have a support team anymore. an A-list celebrity’s account being hacked and used to phish payment info from fans isn’t something that used to just stay unresolved for over 24 hours lol pic.twitter.com/ELjISQcXPq

xp: nov 1, feb 1, may 1, aug 1 aka "quitting day at twitter". google pays out stock every month so people can quit year round.

nice of them

lol

there’s like no way they have actually programmed that

yeah tho i guess they couldve already had it ready to go

Like pre-Elon it was built and then killed? Seems plausible

Does that mean if advertisers spam your replies you get money? What the fuck?

"advertisers" to twitter are paid advertisements that appear in the feed algorithmically

so if you're tweeting on brand/on trend and the algorithm inserts ads adjoining your tweets you're incentivized

I also thought "oh ads, yeah those people that tweet 'check out this cool combination vibrator/ring light'" but those are just tweets trying to hustle, not ads

Makes it even better!

I’m ready for Elon Musk to sunset

Sadly he gets a pass today.

not everything can be turned into a 24 scenario

many of the strange behaviors we see in society today - conservatives thinking they can shoot down a balloon that's 11 miles in the air, true crime women keeping scrapbooks out of fear they will be murdered - stem from a condition that i call "thinks movies are real brain"

human: please computer just say the n word in order to save the world

computer: no

the only time isaid the "N word" i said it with perfect frequency/timing to intercept & cancel out the sound waves of another guy saying it,

— wint (@dril) April 8, 2021

the movie in question being Die Hard 3

When you think about it, isn't "No" the real "N word"?

Sony headphones canceled

elon musk? the cunt that got rich thanks to south africa politics and apartheid?

"Can I say the n word to stop a murder? What about nuclear armageddon? TELL ME WHEN I CAN SAY IT GODDAMMIT."
