Bringing in Tesla engineers to go over Twitter code is just the height of arrogance. Shows that Musk doesn't know what he's doing on several levels. One, it's going to alienate his twitter tech staff even more than they already are. Two, it's likely that Tesla staff will have no understanding of what they're looking at, and at best it will take thousands of otherwise useful hours from twitter staff to learn them up. It's not a plug and play skill set.
Well, Tesla engineers are quite familiar with crash & burn. So, maybe Musk is bringing them in hoping to prevent Twitter from crash & burn?

It’s kind of amusing you thought it was a good idea to broadcast that you, as an adult, don’t know the difference between sex and gender.

Because they're the same thing. It's the far left woke LGBT alphabet people that has somehow tried to separate them. You have a penis, your sex/gender is male, you have a vagina, your sex/gender is female. It's not complicated. The sad part is how society seems to have accepted that it's ok to slice these things up to try to actually change your gender because you're not happy with yourself. They're even pushing this stuff to young kids now, it's terrible.

Except we have evidence of gender fluidity in human societies going back thousands of years. This is nothing new. And frankly if you give a shit how someone identifies their gender then the problem isn't with them it's with you.

It amazes me how the people who go and on about "freedom" are actually the ones doing the most to deny basic human freedom and dignity to their fellow citizens because they can't handle people being different from them. At the end of the day it's none of your fucking business. Get over it and let other people live their lives.

lmao!

Wtf happened to you dude? How did you go off the deep end?

I remember back in the day you were just a regular Joe like most people here.

If I recall you are a single male that doesn't even have kids. As a parent of 2, please enlighten me how "they" (whoever the hell that even is) is pushing "this stuff" on my kids.

He literally thinks men are being forced to go to the women's bathroom. His mind is melted. I live in one of the most liberal parts of the country, and I have nieces in school. None of this shit is real but these morons love to hate. Assholes

Holy fook....I just read it again

Literally....like seriously
Biblically, Eve was a dude until the doc did a little nip tuck.
So technically Adam was gay and Eve was gender fluid.

WTF is with all these bible thumpers saying otherwise?

You're right it's not complicated, you just don't understand what they mean.

Sex and gender are not the same thing, which is of course why they are two different words. This is all freely available information to you in the dictionary and you can see the idea of gender divorced from sex, third genders, etc. go back thousands of years but I guess you've decided you know better. Can you tell me the basis for this?

I think his banks and Twitter's advertisers may have notified him that if he carries through on his free speech plans he will be doing it without them. This was of course 100% foreseeable.

I've noticed my twitter feed seems to be different today.

I am seeing A LOT more of the "xxxx follows yyyy" tweets and showing tweets from yyyy who is someone that xxxx follows.

I had never seen this before and now like every other tweet is from someone I don't even follow or care about but it's from someone that someone I follow is following.
Don’t think that’s anything… happened to me suddenly a couple weeks ago. Had to change things back to show most recent tweet. Apparently it changes randomly sometimes.

Honestly not the worst decision he could make here.

Unless he wants to very publicly loose a mind boggling, historically embarrassing, you are going to be in business textbooks (for being an idiot) for the next 100 years amount of money this is pretty much the only choice.

I guess the plan is probably to pump enough bullshit and vapor into the company through his patented methods and take it public again in a year or two. Seems like the only way to just lose a lot of money instead of an absolute fuckton of money. Step 1 is of course not tanking the place in the interim.

Egads, people using modern medicine to make themselves happy, what a world :rolleyes:
You literally took anti-depressants when you were experiencing depression, so don't go acting like you're better than us.

PS: Your twitter feed is exactly the vacuous hole I expected it to be, much like your mind is.
