I ordered a ton of popcorn. Please don’t let me down Elon.
And what about Gemini and Copilot?
Elon Musk making his team to roll out XOS, a Linux distro with Grok integration…
I wish more people would point out how we totally stole the word grackity thinks it makes him sound smart and well read. Also like he’s from the '70s lol
I wasn’t born until halfway through the 80s and know exactly where the word is from…but my reading habits tend toward that type of sci-fi, so I’m probably an outlier…
oh noes
Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.
sighs
He’s still so fucking wealthy tho
Fine, I say we take every single bit of his hundreds of billions in $1 bills and bury it on top of him. I’m sure that weighs quite a bit
0.63 Empire State Buildings. So yeah, quite a bit.
Americans will use anything but metric as a unit of measurement.
I always hate seeing that, then i remember i’ve used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything
Living in Michigan I show distance by pointing to spots on my hand.
Yo, same. The mitten makes it easy.
Time is a perfectly valid unit of distance. Just look at light years. On Earth, I mostly use the unit of distance me-minutes
Interestingly, analysing distance in me-minutes reveals that spacetime is not flat, because a distant location on the train line can be much closer to me than something 5 km away but far away from public transit.
I’m European
Then you should know better.
A small boulder the size of a large boulder
No, no. Dig up, stupid!
Okay transphobe
So how does this man being an executive officer not immediately send a company’s stocks into the shitter at this point?
There’s money to be made when you know a company is going to tank. In fact there are people who specialize in bankrupting companies. When rich people commit fraud they don’t get in trouble
Sunk cost fallacy.
Everyone’s too deep to escape.
Isn’t the Tesla board made up of his buddies?
The CEO is chosen by the board, which is chosen by the shareholders. The shareholders have the ultimate power, if they can unite on a goal/decision. Overwhelmingly, the only thing they can agree on is that they want to make the most money. They often can’t even agree on how to go about that.
So, the board won’t fire him because the shareholders won’t force it. The shareholders won’t force it because they want the most money, and musk as CEO seems to be the best path, or at least not a problematic one.
As for how that can be, it gets into how absurd Tesla stock is in the first place. There was a period where Tesla’s market cap (total value of all shares) was higher than the entire rest of the auto industry combined. This was despite having no feasible path towards that level of production, and even growth in general wasn’t looking too hot.
“Tesla shareholders are money-hungry idiots” is what I got out of that. They are like Lenny…when shit goes south, they just keep holding on tight, no matter how much worse they make things, until next thing you know Curlys’s wife is dead.
(No offense meant to those with brain damage…the poor decisions they make are understandable and not their fault, of course. And I know that phenomenon isn’t unique to Tesla shareholders.)
I don’t know if this explains the entire price but we have all seen his securities fraud on Twitter.
He already removed Disney+ from the screens on Tesla’s because they pulled advertising from Twitter.
Who the fuck was watching Disney on their fucking car screen? Seriously… What?!
Peoples kids.
Sometimes you just have to wait and its handy. We’ve used it for multi hour ferry waits and or the rides if we don’t want to leave the vehicle.
It’s not on the screen, but if you go to Disney+ in the web browser the app will reappear.
Wait what? Did he really? I’ve driving my model 3 for 2 years and never noticed Disney± was missing. Now that I think about it, I didn’t notice it was there to begin with.
You should temporarily put a Disney+ sticker on your touchscreen and tell Musk that you hacked your Tesla and still have access to the streaming service.
Sort of. It’s there if you already had it. Otherwise it’s gone on new vehicles.
My model 3 still has it listed.
Like same fucking day.
Wow. Makes me regret buying the car more and more. Oh well.
in a small mousy voice out of the side of the mouth you can always sell it you know
I heard that mousy voice but sadly I can’t afford to sell it and as much as I hate to say it, it’s a great car.
I mean … ok … but you’re flying the fascists flag everytime you take that thing out on the road, doesn’t matter who you thought Musk was when you bought it, or your good intentions, sorry, womp womp
This bumper sticker is almost meaningless unless you only bought an early Model S. It was pretty apparent even by the time the Model 3 came out Elon was a gigantic piece of shit, and would be running the company into the ground. Reminder that him calling a rescue diver a pedophile was 6 years ago, and that was only the most public first example of his douchebaggery.
Yeah I honestly have to admit I kinda liked him till that point. I didn’t know a lot about him. That was when he seemed like this lulzy shitposter who was gonna get us self driving cars and get something to mars.
The great thing about the prolonged Musk meltdown is that he always responds by doubling down. So the more he gets ridiculed, the more he throws these ridiculous tantrums. Won’t be long until we’re in the drug-fueled endgame
He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
I’d be very surprised if corporates wouldn’t just be able to disable it in MDM for their worker’s phones. Not sure it’s Apple who has ‘no clue’ here.
Yep, this seems like the exact kind of thing companies would enforce with MDM.
I know one of my previous companies would enforce certain settings were changed if you wanted to install the MDM profile on a BYOD phone (like minimum 8 digit PIN), so requiring you to opt out of OpenAI Siri integration seems like a policy MDMs would offer.
(Though I would never install a company’s MDM profile on my personal phone lol - if they want me to be accessible and have work apps, they can provide a separate work phone)
Do it. Do a flip!
It’ll get fun if he decides to cut Apple devices off Starlink.
Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon’s employees have to go back to flip phones
Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.
And also are sharp enough to cut your hand if you hold it in the wrong way.
Ugh, enough about the cybertruck!
Cuts like a knife, don’t it?
The final hilarity would be Elon forcing Twitter to re-enable SMS based tweets, then hackers using it to fake tweets from Elon himself.
Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.
Honestly, this is a good take, SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Sorry about that.
Do people just use the Starlink router without their own firewall behind it?
Never in my life have I ever used the AP/switch function of the supplied router. That fucking thing can live outside my network, I don’t trust an ISP to wipe their ass after shitting, let alone keep a router updated.
Apparently they’re just plug and play wifi, you have to pay for an adapter to connect Ethernet to it.
Yah, i had to get the Ethernet dongle before I’d use it.
When I heard about that I thought it was pretty condescending.
Like give me an Ethernet port so I can plug my shit into it without giving you more money for something that really should be included.
That’s like not putting door handles on a car.
I was pretty surprised and pissed off when it showed up and I couldn’t find a way to plug in a cable.
On the other hand, it’s the best internet I’ve had out in the ass end of nowhere.
I hear the speed is very dependent on how many people are using it nearby.
yay for net neutrality laws
Ah, they guy who tried to get Paypal to switch to running on Windows strikes again.
I hate paypal because they’re transphobic.
See, I made a paypal account long after changing my legal name, and I made the account under my current legal name. They asked for a birth certificate to prove my identity, so I gave them one. I have an amended birth certificate from when I changed my name that lists both my deadname and my current legal name. When Paypal saw my birth certificate, they changed the name on my account to my deadname, even though the paperwork clearly stated it wasn’t my legal name. When I complained to them, they told me I had to submit change of name paperwork to change the name on my account. Well I never changed my name while I had a paypal account! They did! I just wanted it un-changed to what it was before. If I need to submit change of name paperwork to fix their mistake, why didn’t they need paperwork to change it away from my legal name in the first place?
paypal deserves to run on windows
Both paths lead to the same destination inundated with AI ads and tracking.
Because Google doesn’t have its own AI, and other Android manufacturers aren’t also embedding OpenAI wherever they can in modern phones like Samsung.
I’m sure the richest company in the world is super worried about this threat.
