Elon Musk: I, for one, welcome our new pasty overlord

Same thing with Snopes

GOP insanity, mass shooting, House shitshow, and Elon are all blurring together.

Anything that pokes holes in their web of misinformation is left-wing.

Must be nice when ‘not enough info’ and ‘too much info’ both confirm your thesis.

Feels like we’re getting ‘just the right amount of info’ on this one. A little too perfect if you ask me.

Wat

Dilbert has full on dementia

“A social worker could have stopped this”

Well they could have done no worse than the cops did. And yeah if the guy had access to proper health care we might have avoided it altogether. And yeah get rid of guns.

So far, subscription revenue doesn’t seem to be meeting Musk’s lofty goals. As Bloomberg wrote this week, an “analysis from independent researcher Travis Brown estimates that 950,000 to 1.2 million people now pay for X’s $8 monthly premium service.” That amounts to less than 1 percent of users and no more than $120 million in annual revenue, not including app store fees from people who subscribe through Apple or Google.

“This is hardly a replacement for the ad revenue that Twitter relied on in the pre-Musk era—about $4.5 billion in its last full year as a public company,” Bloomberg wrote. “Meanwhile, many of X’s top advertisers, such as Mondelez International, Coca-Cola, IBM, and HBO, are spending less than they were before Musk took over, largely because of policies he’s implemented that have made the service more chaotic and unpredictable.”

With any luck he’ll be on it

That article is years old and it would appear that they did not in fact get lucky lol.

Yea the point was him making that stupid comment years ago, was still bad then

Business journalists are just hype men for scam artists, they spent a full decade fluffing Elon just like they fluffed up SBF and Elizabeth Holmes. Look up any article on the Hyperloop, any moron who looked into that should have concluded the whole thing was a scam from the get-go.

There’s a lot of anti-media sentiment around here. Just a reminder: hate the game not the player. Journalists (of all types) face the same pressures as anyone forced to work a job in a capitalisic society. I’m not defending the product, but suggest we remember what things are and what they’re not.

Business journalism seems more like capitalism porn than truth.
