we’ll just have to write new traffic laws to accommodate a weird billionaire pissbaby. I don’t think it will be hard.

xpost But what if *you* didn't roll through the stop, what if it was the car?

xpost - I have a feeling Tesla's legal team is also having a rough morning when seeing their CEO tweet out that the cars are programmed to directly break the law in, afaiui, every state.

"lobbyist" is the new "narc"

well they know that because this is the reason for yet another recall xp

Just saying that the tweeting of it out as "no safety issue" is probably not helpful.

a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 2 February 2022 15:45 (two years ago) link

its only recently that tesla has been issuing recalls for software problems, which they were supposed to be doing all along

elon is lying in his tweet there the cars were programmed to roll though at up to 5+ mph, just a reflexively dishonest person

Does Elon's statement about the journalist amount to libel?

peace, man, Wednesday, 2 February 2022 15:49 (two years ago) link

I know nothing about law, just think that it would be cool if it did.

peace, man, Wednesday, 2 February 2022 15:50 (two years ago) link

I forget, what happened to the libel case of the guy he called a pedophile?

Musk won

One of the smartest moves by Elon Musk's defence was in introducing the concept of "JDart", an acronym to describe their client's conduct on Twitter in relation to the infamous "pedo guy" tweet.

A JDart, lawyer Alex Spiro explained, meant: a Joke that was badly received, therefore Deleted, with an Apology and then Responsive Tweets to move on from the matter. JDart.

It's clumsy, for sure, but it meant Mr Spiro could offer the jury here a degree of structure around what before seemed senseless: Mr Musk may have acted foolishly with the J, but he soon "darted", which is how you know he wasn't being serious about the allegation.

Expect the JDart "standard" to be applied again and again, not just in libel trials, but in any arena where social media behaviour is under scrutiny - a parachute for anyone who, in the heat of the moment, says something idiotic online.

peace, man, Wednesday, 2 February 2022 16:15 (two years ago) link

Of course he won, he's a billionaire. He can do whatever the fuck he wants, including goosing the stocks of his own companies via tweets whenever its convenient.

Unless you are poor or marginalized, the age of consequences is over.

I had this dream or Elon Musk made it with a woman appeared as a golden shower and her babies were alien babies. This was either a dream or just something I thought about

Pretty sure that was his relationship with Grimes right there

Smart lawyer, stupid jury. A sensational lie will always outrun a lame apology. As for 'responsive tweets', they may as well be dropped into the Mariana Trench.

SpaceX loses 40 satellites to geomagnetic storm a day after launch

SpaceX has lost dozens of satellites after they were hit by a geomagnetic storm a day after launch, causing them to fall from orbit and burn up...

Musk vs. The Sun, a battle royale

Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 18:56 (two years ago) link

If I've learned anything from the film Geostorm, the only solution is to send Musk himself into space to repair the satellites, before he takes the fight to the sun itself.

He can definitely launch a private sun... competition breeds innovation

Oh and

California is suing Elon Musk's Tesla, alleging it runs a "racially segregated" workplace and discriminates against Black employees.

Black workers report being concentrated in parts of its factory (one called "the plantation" by other workers) and hearing slurs up to 100x daily. pic.twitter.com/2vmD3oo13G

JFC @ that neuralink story. (Sadly?) I'm sure he could fill up some trials with his fanboys.
