“Forcing your pronouns upon others” - what the frack does this even mean?
Nobody is forcing anything on anyone. Respecting people’s choice of pronouns is just a nice thing to do. It costs you nothing and shows respect for your fellow humans. Nobody is “ostracized” by this.
@DylanAusherman
@elonmusk
@StationCDRKelly
You don’t have to use any pronouns. Deliberately misgendering someone isn’t just about pronouns, you can do it without using them, and it’s still just as hateful.
Taylor Swift was in talks to sign a $100m sponsorship deal with FTX.
But then actually asked “can you tell me that these are not unregistered securities?” and the deal fell through.
Tesla had an iPhone-like lead in EVs, with total ownership of the high-margin market, and unparalleled brand recognition and desirability. People didn’t want EVs, they wanted a Tesla.

By “talking about” you mean telling a few bad, distasteful *jokes* as a comedian trying to shock people, yes? Jokes he had long since apologized for and long since stopped making.
This is a stupid crusade, and a dishonest one from those encouraging it in bad faith.

@elonmusk
Sounds like he didn’t really know whom he was talking to, and was just giving the same answer he gave publicly - that large shareholders could roll over their shares to the new business.
Musk has denied that it ever actually happened, too.

These kinds of thing are typically imaginary, not actual information about how the model is configured. You’re telling it to imagine such a table exists and then imagine what might be in it. It’s not a real thing.
A LendingTree spokesperson has now confirmed that their study does NOT look at accidents that occurred *in* the listed vehicles (e.g., Tesla), but instead is about the accident histories of people requesting quotes through their website.

You understand that this is just repeating what you said, which is all part of an accumulating prompt given to the model - right? You aren’t tricking it or teaching it to be wrong. You’re just like a cat failing the mirror test.

They specifically say in that quote that they are letting other companies use their patents for free during the pandemic. The licensing point is only about “post pandemic” times (unclear exactly how this is defined, though).
If only our government was capable of giving updates on the COVID-19 situation with the same level of detail and clarity as one EVP at Microsoft.

Or, looked at another way, Twitter provides her with reach to an audience of 13.5 million (plus many more, indirectly). This creates enormous value for her, and helps her win elections.
Of course she’ll pay it. She may already be paying for Blue!

2000 mules contains no data or evidence. The creators offer none. They make only spurious accusations which have been completely debunked. When asked to back up their claims, they refuse.
It’s a grift, and you’re the mark.
Torn between just selling my remaining Tesla shares in protest, or trying to rally shareholders and the board to remove Musk as CEO.
This year he’s gone from liability to saboteur.
The inescapable irony is that the “Twitter Files” revealed the old Twitter leadership really tried to be principled in their moderation, even though they didn’t always get it right, while Twitter 2.0 follows no principles and just moderates at Musk’s personal whim.

This is misleading. His account wasn’t suspended for tweeting that. It was suspended for impersonating someone else (Musk), from a verified account no less.
This is a long-standing policy and a deserved suspension. It has nothing to do with “free speech”.

These are locked up because they’re the most commonly stolen items in that area.
This actually helps in protecting the affordability and accessibility of these items. If they’re frequently stolen, this causes costs for replacements and insurance, which results in higher prices.

Not great (though the human driver to your right also didn’t stop). Good that you stopped.

What was made “far far worse”?
GDPR was a big win for users/customers, and forced big companies to clean up their acts with data management. The main concern I’m aware of is the burden placed on smaller businesses, but I haven’t heard much complaint about this.
@elonmusk
But WHY?!? Bitcoin transactions are expensive and more importantly waste truly unbelievable amounts of energy - resulting in absurd carbon emissions.
Please reverse this decision, it is a stain on Tesla’s image and contribution to clean energy progress.

This meme “feels” true, but it’s misleading. A typical rocket launch powered by RP-1 kerosene (SpaceX, Virgin) emits about the same CO2 as a single flight between London and NY.
The Blue Origin rockets emit zero CO2.
There are just so many points throughout this whole debacle where a mistake was made (like offering to buy the company) but a good effort could’ve been made to turn things around.
Instead it’s just nose dive after nose dive. Feels like we’re passing the hard deck now.
Hey
@elonmusk
, rather than encouraging adoption of Bitcoin which is extremely wasteful and inefficient, why not have Tesla create or back a highly efficient alternative? Something like $NANO maybe (though I haven't studied it, its aspirations seem laudable).

How about a “replace tweet” feature.
- It deletes the selected tweet
- It pre-populates the tweet composer with the text of the original tweet
- When you publish it, it notifies anyone who liked or RT’d the original and asks if they want to like/RT the replacement.

No. As Chuck says, the pedestrian jumped into the crosswalk as the car passed (from a difficult to see position, too). It’s weird that the car stopped afterward, but it most certainly didn’t “fail to stop for a pedestrian walking across a crosswalk”.
Your dishonesty never ends.
@chimeracoder
@manan
Oh come on. Uber and the safety driver maybe could have done better, and their system obviously needs work, but this take is garbage on every level. Uber obviously didn’t program anything to kill anyone, and they did not “program” it to not stop for people outside of crosswalks.
@DashDobrofsky
Everything you said here is false.
What actually happened:
A dishonest “journalist” misquoted the head of the World Food Program, David Beasley, claiming he said $6B would solve world hunger. Musk said that if Beasley could explain how this would work, he would write the check.
@GergelyOrosz
I’ve always thought it super weird when companies stipulate you must be proficient in a particular programming language - especially a high-level one!
I’ve never written a line of, say, Go - but that seems crazy to have be a consideration for me OR a hiring manager.
@fille_delespace
This is the only thing I can find that he’s actually said on this matter. He has said “hopefully” there could be a “city” by *around* 2050.
No claims about # of people who might “hopefully” be there.
@RealDanODowd
@Tesla
@elonmusk
It did no such thing, as we can see in the video. He took over out of an abundance of caution, which is the right thing to do, but there was no “near miss” here, and the vehicle was never in the path of oncoming traffic.

But… they pay employees substantially more than the US union auto makers, and give every employee stock options/grants which have increased in value a ton for most employees.
So what’s the complaint, exactly?
@BullTesla
@elonmusk
No. There are plenty of other EVs. We’d have replaced my wife’s old car with a Model Y by now and I’d probably have upgraded to a newer S if not for Musk’s descent into horrid madness.
The Y is the best car we’ve going to what we want, but we’re going to have to settle.

This is just bad advice. So many startup founders think the key to success is to get devs “on the cheap”. That’s flawed. Getting the right people matters, and you shouldn’t have to trick them or find imaginary people who don’t want to be paid what they’re worth.

That was my impression as well. I immediately assumed he wants to be credited so he can send another email to someone else claiming he worked for months or years leading a QA team on your game (no need to call for a reference of course!) and insisting this qualifies him for $$$.
@fille_delespace
He says a lot of crazy things, but I cannot find any evidence he ever said this. It looks like Business Insider either misunderstood “1 million tons” to mean to “1 million people”, or tried to extrapolate a # of people who 1,000 “starship” craft could carry over 20 years?
@elonmusk
@WholeMarsBlog
This is just an awful, ignorant take. We saw an *increase* in average dev output (using hard data - PRs, bugs fixed, etc) when everyone transitioned to working from home in 2020, and for very many people it has a lot of advantages.

This is of course not at all true, and I think we’ve proven this at Microsoft.
There *are* trade-offs with remote or hybrid setups, and sometimes there are advantages to going into the office (even 1-2 days a week), but these claims are just wrong - and frankly, insulting.
It’s time to admit that Remote Work doesn’t work. WFH Friday is a 4 day work week. Full WFH is a 2 day work week. Every interaction has to be scheduled, which means a lot of information-sharing doesn’t happen. Remote is a great lifestyle, not a way to build a great company.
