The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

[Murphy]

The next update to the Telsa will make them refuse to connect via bluetooth to Apple devices at this rate.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if one day they refuse to connect to Twitter because the community notes and AI bot has been taken over by the woke mind virus.

haha just watching it. John Oliver is a national treasure imo. He is actually quite fair to Elon while also taking the **** where its fully deserved. There are a few incidents I'd forgotten about, the man has a serious messiah complex, its not healthy at all.

John Oliver reminds me of what I would imagine a middle aged jester to be like. Inane and boring. But the crowds lap it up so egal.

This was my thought, these people already have Disney subs and won't be cancelling them just because it no longer works in the car as the moaning from the kids would be unbearable! So Disney loose nothing and Tesla annoy their customers I totally don't get it.

Cancel culture!

 

[unwashed potato!]

Cancel culture!

You joke about it, but you bring up a good point. They love to cry how they are the victim of cancel culture, but there could not be a better example of cancel culture with Elon removing Disney from tesla like this.

This is of course assuming Disney hasn't just by chance been temp removed because of an "app update" or whatever other excuse

Anyone else got a problem with Twitterx right now? It's not loading properly, I can't see any new posts.

Same. It's like all the content has been deleted

*edit - seems they fixed it so all the nonsense is back!

Social media platform X suffers global outages

Users were unable to view posts on the social media site for just over an hour.

www.bbc.co.uk

Global outages apparently, maybe he forgot to put 50p in the meter.

Ever since Musk took control, that site has been running like a two legged dog with diarrhoea.

The 'Elon Musk bought Twitter to protect our free speech' people are upset because it turns out Elon Musk did not buy Twitter to protect their free speech.

Maybe they'll eventually figure out that the only thing Elon cares about is Elon. Its all a giant power trip.

What was the account suspended for?

I don't know, but it was probably well deserved. Gage is a white nationalist Holocaust denier, after all.

I hate this timeline.

One of his bizarre conspiracy theories is COVID vaccines "probably [have] a backdoor into your brain, or the side effects include sending money to Israel.

The accounts banned were skirting the edges of legal speech in many places. Holocaust denial online is illegal in the UK for example, as far as I know. Happy to be corrected.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Haha Community Notes are run by the globalists!

Its amazing how nuts Matt is

This is an outstanding takedown of Tesla and the tech bro attitude that underpins the company's tolerance for failing products.

The full piece is exhaustive, and well articulated.

Its amazing how over hyped Tesla stock is and the cars just aren't all that. There are far better EVs out there now. FSD is a lie and has gotten worse/more dangerous now that it just relies on cameras. That is what the stock price is meant to based on yet other EV makers are doing it better.

I wonder what vapour ware Elon will be promising in 2024. RoboTaxi was meant to be steering wheel and peddle free in 2023 and cost less than the $38k it was going to cost at its release in 2021.....

A wise man. I would imagine you did very well if you bought it a few years ago. There will be plenty that get absolutely rinsed if they bought it near the highs.
