It’s like Elno opened MS Edge browser for the very first time and then it of course took him straight to the MSN home page; then he called an emergency meeting with what is left of his engineers, plugged his laptop into the conference room big screen and yelled, “THAT! I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE THAT!”
I moved the religion talk to the God and Religion thread as it seemed no longer related to Musk. I only skimmed so if there is a better thread - or people really want it to continue here, let me know.
What’s your opinion on secular religion?
who else clicked on “show” only to realize it was a screenshot?

I was going to post about it in the space thread, but SpaceX is potentially doing a test launch of Starship tomorrow morning. Tune in to see whether Elno successfully clicks the “completely revolutionize spaceflight” button!
None of that is a skillset except creating hype, which is way more luck based than skill based, and the skill part is abundant everywhere
You and bob just cannot comprehend luck, which is funny
You really think Elon had a significant contribution to his being placed in front of government subsidzers, AND that they would have said no to anyone in his place

Oh yes. When I worked for a non-profit, our governement interface was a guy named Jack. Jack regularly walked into the front glass doors.
Used in a sentence
Jack went to Washington and came back with $1,000,000. If Jack had stayed home, we’d have gotten $3,000,000.
Jack should’ve been the techbro flavor of the month when the government wanted to privatize NASA and subsidize EVs
When your entire empire pretty much collapses when interest rates go up 3% maybe the fact that you took taxis, cable tv, pizza delivery, travel agents, interacting with your friends, and mail order catalogues and made it so you could click a button rather than have to talk to some jerk on the phone wasn’t the great, world upending disruption you thought it was. Maybe it was the decade+ of negative interest rates? That may have been a factor huh? So glad society spent all that free money creating a fully privatised parallel state rather than invested in any existing infrastructure.

And yes I am fully aware that the greatest suffering is getting exactly what you said you wanted.

Is it what you used to want or something?
In a perfectly monkey’s paw way yes.

You just always read as way smarter than the AC crowd, so I never thought you were part of it
Nope. Dumb as they come.

cool that the richest man in the world can sabotage a unionization effort in his many factories by buying twitter to promote reactionary right wing viewpoints. because a union would mean the people who built his wealth would be well paid for their efforts, and he would rather burn the cash than give it to them.

Elon took over long time ago and Twitter seems the same. I hate this timeline
I just imagine Elon’s inner circle at Twitter all despising him and having to feign respect etc, except for one guy who genuinely thinks he is the funniest man alive.
