He's right though, she doesn't have children. Neither does Olaf Scholz.

Pretty sure he bought Twitter in order to fix it. But so far it looks like it has turned into a playground for intern developers and intern system admins, if you don't know there are actual product managers and tons of experienced engineers that get paid millions behind this mess. Basically the leadership has failed them.
Oh damn, i miunderstood. He is right, yes
I've noticed that in my surroundings (work for example) no one really discusses Elon's right-wing culture shenanigans and weird decisions.
He is still seen as this genius innovator who is doing good for the world through electric cars, space stuff etc.

That's because most people don't care about twitter
He did invent electric cars, space travel and e-payments admittedly. Social media too, he invented Twitter.
Your work mates are conservative probably
Tesla is still well-regarded a car-maker.
It’s really not. They make very cheap cars and charge a premium. They’re unreliable, wildly expensive to fix, and the older cars are falling apart already. They have a shorter life than cars from major manufacturers. Cheap plastics and squeaky interiors that start to rattle inside a couple of years.
They’re awful cars and are surviving on a brand cachet they never deserved and soon won’t have.
When aggregating for volume sold, they’ve had most of the largest car recalls in automotive history. They should be nowhere near the top of these lists (one below). They sell about one million cars a year and have had 4million recalls in a year and a half. Their recalls are almost always on really serious operational parts though. Throttle controls and such.
Full on emperors new clothes of a car co.

That's an awful lot of work for a sarcastic @horsechoker post.
If you’re always sarcastic you’re never sarcastic.
Yet people keep buying them.
Rei Hiroe, a Japanese manga artist and the creator of the very popular Black Lagoon, had this to say when talking about the mess at Twitter.
He channeled his inner Revy.

And we all know exactly what that means.

hahaha brilliant thanks for sharing
It’s all Dutch to me.
No normal person cares about that nerd. If you told me all that in real life I'd tell you to go away.
Seriously though, to the average person Tesla is a good brand. The average person isn't as up to date or knowledgeable about a lot of things, they still Gareth Southgate is a great manager.
Uncannily funny because there is an actual major character named Dutch in Black Lagoon.
Yep. That's why I uttered a big "yikes!" when I first saw that and yet it was not surprising considering the level of generalized anger that the mess created worldwide.

Didnt realise I’d swallowed a baited hook tbf.
Regardless of how quickly you walk away from people giving you information in real life, I don’t think the average person thinks anything of Tesla cars beyond brand cachet and it’s nosediving.
As you hate information so much I’ll throw a load more in. Owners are giving them up for better cars. Their long mooted semi truck has exactly zero chance of being adopted by trucking companies. Their car resale values are nosediving. The company will be dead/irrelevant inside 15-20 years.
All that square headed Fcuk had was an illusion of competence. This Twitter purchase has shown everyone that he’s full of shit.
While I agree with what you're saying and having watched a 20 minute video on this matter it all checks out.
My point was that the average Joe isn't aware of Tesla's declining status yet. They probably still think Lord Sugar is a brilliant businessman or Jamie Oliver is a great chef.
It’s a fair point. Hence the baited hook comment. I bristle when anyone suggests that Tesla make good cars and railrd against it.
They had an incredible PR guy. Just as Trump was at one point.
I do think people are savvier than you think though. Teslas are not the status symbol they once were. Had that dickhead kept his head down and maintained the idea that everything he touches turns to gold, the image would have continued. Now that he’s gone full facist, the brand reputation is tracking his. There’s nobody to keep blowing air into the balloon with a hole in it. Personally, I think it’ll fail faster than you think.
Twitter is fixed thank god for the Anime community!
Musk would actually go up in my estimation if he banned anime profile pictures.
So Twitter is rolling out a new Tweetdeck, which is worse than the old Tweetdeck, that will be Twitter Blue-only. I guess this is the end of me regularly using Twitter.
So the Instagram text based app Threads is launching 6th July for US and 7th for rest of the world. I just had a look and you can pre order now in the app store.

Came here to post this.
If its well done, everyone should migrate and leave this steaming pile of crap behind
Yeah, let's give the Zuck our traffic instead! Facebook never done harmed no one neither
One is a right wing ideologue other a greedy cnut. I’ll always choose the greedy cnut over the conservative nut job.
Lesser of two evils without a doubt.
Facebook is as bad for stemming right wing bollocks on its platform, and actively sells your intimate information to whoever will pay. They’re as bad as each other
The only advantage is Zuckerberg won't sabotage his own platform.
Facebook amplifies whatever makes them more money the underlying political ideology they don’t give 2 shits about.
Twitter currently is a conservative mouthpiece even at the risk of wrecking the whole company.
You think Twitter isn’t selling your intimate information?
Literally every social media site is. That’s how they make money.
Is it legal for a company to just straight up lie like this in an official press release? I guess it would be different if it wasn’t a private company.
That is a difference you made in your mind. It does not exist in reality.
So money and ideology are the same? Really tempted to go the Godwin's Law route here.
edgy
I vnt still not see the replies though, so not possible to check tweet threads if you dont have an account
