I mean I feel like that goes a little beyond "free speech". You know if there was an account tracking where air force one went it would be shut down in minutes.

I think anyone tracking anyone's jet should be banned. I also think paparazzi who make celebs life hell should be banned. This is human sense.

The issue is it's literally just a script that collates publicly available information. It's how everyone always knows "x coach is interviewing for a job" etc.

And Elon has only banned accounts linking to HIS jet. Also, how does knowing his jets in Texas supposedly tell you where his ex girlfriends car is? If this even happened...

I'm still here waiting for the "piss in jars" phase...

Free speech agent finds out not all free speech is safe / to his liking. I would laugh but as one of his umpteen kids/mrs's or whoever could have been harmed I won't.

So doxxing is only bad when it happens to him*:


*as in he wasnt doxxed as the plane wasnt anywhere near the car, grimes is like him and cant shut up so she broadcasts her location all of the time too, and this attack likely didnt happen since he still hasnt reported it to the police and all he has is a video of him recording a guy who is recording him in a garage.

Its literally all just made up to give him an excuse to go after the script that tracks publicly available information about his plane.

Eh, its sounding more and more like this didnt even happen. But either way @elonjet had the jet in another location and, last time I checked, a jet isnt a car. And its not like it says who is on the jet (if anyone) and its not like both grimes and musk dont already tweet every detail of their lives already anyway.

That wont work because corporations were never "woke," they are greedy. Having your advert next to someones rant about killing jews is bad for business, so they pull them.

I don't personally have anything against ELON, I think he is doing different things but I've also said he is a super shady character not some champion of the people. He portrays things as being to the benefit of society but it REALLY profits him.

The way he ran Tesla and the story with the founders, consistent overpromises and the fact that no one has ever come out to say working for him is a pleasure or he is a good boss is telling. I don't think anyone has anything good to say for him that has worked for him.

Then he massively plays the government and uses tax payer funds and tax credits to the absolute max and gives back nothing... CA built his business on incentives and he is happy to take the Green Money but when it comes to paying anything he runs off into TX (a tax free state)... shadiness at its best.

Then this twitter mess is another level... he must know he really F'd that one up...

Ouch. Bad day at the office for Elon. You dont go into a room of experts swinging your big dick, trying to fake it till you make it, and not expect to get called out. He's created an environment where folks are like "fuck it, if I go out I go out with a bang." The engineer on the call had super valid points. Elon says the code is "crazy" and needs to be "re-written." OK, so what specifically is broken and what does a "re-write" look like? He doesn't know. It's clear to me that Elon has someone he trusts that knows something about coding and told him there were problems, or at least opportunities, with the code. Elon is just parroting that but cant hang technically to explain or expand. How are you going to lead a team of developers if you cant even tell them what to do, let alone how to do it. The dude is way out over his ski tips.

Anyone who thinks Elon is some Mensa genius who is executing a plan that we are all too stupid to understand needs to watch that Reddit clip ryan stewart posted and reconsider.

that is hilarious lmao... that was a question that could have in a way been simply answered... he could have said we can start with the skeleton, take a look at what that looks like and sketch out other ideas... instead he stuttered and was entirely confused

I always find it funny when people complain about the wealthy using tax loopholes to their advantage.

Who wouldnt? I don't know one person, regardless of their wealth, that doesnt try to maximize their credits and deductions.

Now, if you are someone who takes no deductions or credits and overpays your taxes because you love giving to the government, then I guess you can bring up how Elon doesnt do that.

Its because he is basically that kid who learned some cool words. He learned about "the stack." He doesn't know what it means but he loves to just use it over and over again.

I think most people who are capable of thought don't think "billionaires should voluntarily pay more," they usually think "our tax system should not be setup where someone could be worth $100B and pay zero in income taxes because we created a loophole where they can borrow against their wealth instead of taking income and then get a tax credit, effectively eliminating their burden when they do liquidate portions of stock to eventually pay those off."

But nevermind me, Im not an expert.

Also should note in that exchange I believe it was a group of the ex-twits that musk asked to come back to assist, so they were fired and then he had to go get them back, meaning that if they were smart they had an employment agreement that would make them comfortable enough to talk to a megalomaniac like that.

He might look like a twit in that video but to say that he's clueless is a bit rich, he is literally the richest man in the universe and pretty much self made. I suspect he's a bit of an idiot savant, clearly a bit awkward but I suspect his mind works differently than yours and mine.
