“People are attacked all the time in the media, online media, social media, but it is rare that that actually has a meaningful negative impact on their life,” Musk testified.

This coming from the giant man-baby who shut a guys account down for posting about where his planes would land because he said it was a *threat to his family*!!!!

Well yeah - he means "it is rare that that actually has a meaningful negative impact on me, the only verifiable human"

wow @ this exchange

Elon is being deposed in a lawsuit saying he made slanderous claims about someone he doesn't know, and immediately does the same thing to the lawyer deposing him pic.twitter.com/zrq7VfERlw

Can't Elon just use the "I was high when I said that" defense

I don't think it can be understated how often you're talking to lawyers for some reason or another when you're involved in that many binding legal entities (corporations, boards, whatever else) and despite it being a commonplace thing, Elon's immediate thought is "lawyers only exist to take my money" regardless whether it's someone else's or his own

Elon's statements there aren't slanderous, they're just dumb.

stupid sexy slanders!

He doesn't think he harmed Ben Brody despite knowing nothing about him because social media rarely leads to people being harmed. Just shocking arrogance.

Thr case is weaker than the Alex Jones case as Musk's comment was somewhat couched. But the case will bring up more embarrassing material and he might settle to avoid that.

Also the lawyer he brought wasn't admitted pro hac vice so I don't know if his objections will have any weight in court. Brody filed a motion against Spiro today.

hes only asking for a million dollars musk should just give it to him sorry bout that mate

But isn't it supposed to be Elon's kid tweeting? Why not "I hate you Mom. Why did you leave Mr. Jackpots? Helllllllllll-ooooooooooooo."

The end of 2020 was drawing near, and Andrea Turley, a 36-year-old self-employed hairdresser, had to figure out how to afford gifts not only for her two daughters’ birthdays but also for Christmas. She came up with a solution: a job working on the floor of Tesla’s auto manufacturing facility in Fremont, California. It paid about $20 an hour.

Turley’s grandparents had worked at the same plant when it made cars for General Motors. She knew what working on an assembly line would entail and hoped to stay; her grandparents had worked there for decades. “I don’t have a problem with doing hard labor,” she told me.

“The problem was the sexual harassment. It was the racism,” she said. “It’s the constant disrespect.”

On her second day of training, Turley noticed the phrase “Black bitches need to go home” written on the bathroom walls. Once she started working on the line, she heard her white male lead—the person who supervised her on the floor—use the N-word and other racial slurs like “coon,” according to a legal complaint she filed later. He also frequently used the words “bitch” and “cunt.” He “used just about every awful and offensive word I can think of,” Turley said in the filing. It wasn’t just him; other white coworkers also often used the N-word around her and her fellow Black coworkers. She frequently saw the word “bitch” written on the bathroom walls alongside the N-word and “KKK.”

Jesus fucking Christ.

What a rotten company, starting from the top

This video is hilarious, even if you don't speak Russian. Some Russian rapper is driving around L.A. in his Cybertruck and just getting angrier and angrier about the shitty quality of basically everything:

How the fuck are these things legally on the road pic.twitter.com/iqDKDVHpRm

jesus christ

it's a legit question in general, how are any of these cars on the road? can I just legally make a car and sell it without going through any sort of oversight?

This shit would be a lot funnier if the Cybertrucks weren't driving around on the same roads as the rest of us.

what are they doing over there that they cant even get the break pedal to stay in place

that pedal looks like a spatula

“It’s not an ar-15 it’s a …” in this case the accelerator lol

The federal government’s safety regulators are captured by industry so anything goes man, caveat emptor!

If this were the 1950s though Elon would be in the same hot water for fraudsters and snake oil salesmen as Wilhelm Reich and L. Ron Hubbard.

all cybertruck deliveries reportedly halted due to the accelerator issue it seems like

recall (pun intended) that there was a massive toyota recall in the aughts due to a similar issue. really fucked with toyota's image as ol' reliable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%932011_Toyota_vehicle_recalls

i remember this because we had a corolla at the time

gotta put some more glue on there

cool guy alert

hes like, imitating poses from Marvel movies. its really embarrassing

I mean, I dunno. maybe it wouldn't be embarrassing if someone cool was doing it. I just fuckin hate this guy so much

He knows enough to keep smiling. That much has been dinned into him. The poses he strikes are silly and surely he could be coached better on this, but it's low stakes for him and he doesn't care enough to be good at it. Hard for me to care much either. He's an ass in so many other, more important ways that this particular asininity is trivial.

nah I think it's still a kinda important window into his mind, like the way he's just thinking epic memeface all the time no matter the situation. the fact that he wants to be the real life Doge meme informs most of his decisions first and foremost and has actually became a very good case study in how that turns you into a Nazi

he looks like a K'd up incel in an ill-fitting suit

Musk and Marvel movies occupy exactly the same cognitive space for me. I don’t think it’s that much of an insult to either since each is the shittest thing possible.

Musk is a racist transphobe who's squandering his cash to promote fascism and bring about a second Trump reich. I can understand your not enjoying these movies made for children but I don't really think they're equivalent.

he was probably like this when he just had daddy's millions but

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Actually I guess we know he was exactly this lame pre-billions, the McLaren story with Peter Thiel, his obsession x.com, etc..
