Elon Musk now owns 9.2% of twitter...update.. will soon be the sole owner as Board of Directors accepts his purchase offer

[Coalfax]

Elon is NOT for free speech. He is for HIS version of what should be spoken. There is a distinct difference.

He is also a nitwit, but thats for another thread

The free speech tyrant strikes again. The @elonjet account is now banned

https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/14/tech/elonjet-twitter-suspended/index.html

Not just the Elon one, but all of the accounts he ran for other famous people's jets. But that was a transparent move after suspending the Elon one to make it seem like it wasn't targeted.

He still has the same ones on other social media sites though.

Just the point of view of one truck driver about the cab in the Tesla as far as driver comfort and convenience goes and safety. Would like to hear more truck driver reviews

Tesla Semi's cab design makes it a 'completely stupid vehicle,' trucker says

A Polish trucker recently took to Twitter to explain why he thinks the Tesla Semi missed the mark in terms of being a practical vehicle for drivers to use

Was coming to post this.

I guess that the guy has 30 accounts he manages and all of them were suspended.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/twitter-suspends-account-tracking-elon-161238426.html

Not sure what the suspension was about, multiple accounts?
Maybe it was this:
"The billionaire tweeted later on Wednesday that posting someone’s location in real time on the social network violates the company’s policy against publishing certain personal details, “but delayed posting of locations are OK.” "


Sounds like he made up that rule on the fly.

There's just a ton of people now tweeting his still functioning Insta/mastodon feeds out. Think this is another decision that ApartheidJack realized was a backfire after he went through with it.

If his review of the Semi mirrors similar from other professional drivers… DAMN!!

I would be interested to hear other reviews as well but those complaints seem pretty well founded to me, especially the center mounted seat making common tasks for truck drivers way harder.

My guess is relocating the seat would not be the hardest thing but as I’ve never designed a truck what do I know?

Thats weird, I heard it was 90% buys and only 10% sells.

Im skeptical of these reviews though, specially bout the blindspots etc, theres gotta be cameras everywhere and those feeds would logically go on the massive screen.
Its weird about the bed though… regulatory naps when charging sounds like a no brainer…

He absolutely made up the rule and updated their terms of service to prohibit posting live locations of people to target this kid. But the kid never violated it.

So are private jets people too? Seriously how the hell does anyone know who is on the plane? Flight data is all publicly available info that literally anyone can go see at any time. That’s why they only suspended the Elon tracking account at first but left the others until called out on it.

When the top holders of a security start publicly tweeting their doubts about the CEO and his commitment to the company your stock is going to crater badly.

Yaya, I was making funny time about the Chapelle incident where Elon tweeted it was 90% cheers and 10% boos. (which explains why Chapelle went “Wait Elon, dont say anything, that sound is the sound of pending civil unrest).

I only gave you well wishes on your travels through the city. You can't even accept that without being a horses ass about it.

I didn't say it was prevalent in all areas of the city or that I thought it did. Just like anything else there are good areas and bad areas.

This was the q train tonight close to 10pm after leaving a date. Look at these dumb liberal socialist girls. All alone on the train! And looking so damn casual too! Oblivious. At least the one girl is wearing sweatpants and sneakers, better to dodge the subway pushers and baseball bat swingers.

It's all so amusing, meanwhile all these fucking tough guy conservative dipshits are all scared shitless of going out in anarchy land, that they want their daughters to take an Uber four blocks.

I can't live in reality with these fucking wastes of space taking the country down with their willful ignorance. It doesn't matter what they see or are told, they want to be shitty. They told us who they are, why do some people not listen?

They're getting around the instagram "block" by changing the case of the letters. Apparently twitter doesn't know about equalsIgnoreCase().

Tesla is fucked, the only way it ever justified it's price is if you believed they'd either own the EV market or self driving, and it looks like the competition is better at both. This was before he started shitting on his biggest customer base.

well I never really did and still don't think of them as a car company, really. I think of them as battery/solar/software company for licensing.

In the future, anyway. lol.

If things continue with Elon, they will be utter garbage.

Still, I wonder how ponyo is doing....hope he's well.

 

[zinfamous]

You are sure? How would you know who I voted for then? That's right you wouldn't and don't.

You don't know anything about what I care about. It was a crappy move to close down all of those facilities.

It is 100% certain that you voted for Reagan.

lol. You want us to think you voted for Carter?

lol.

fuck off dude. seriously, stop pretending that you are some fucking mystery. You don't have the capacity to be any more interesting than your posts here describe you to be. Just stop being silly with that noise.

And being first to market has gotten them a market share smaller than Subaru.

Hyundai builds better overall quality EVs than supposed "luxury" Teslas. VW makes better cars. Literally all the actual car makers are already doing this better than Tesla. It was always a longshot for Tesla to beat any of the bigs and I believe they've already lost the very short time advantage they had to get these things to market.

Hell, MS and Logitech invented the MP3 player. They were first to market. Ditto Samsung with Smart Phones. Good luck thinking "first to market" matters in the modern world of tech.

Not sure if this is still true, but they own almost not IP on batteries or solar. And their software is behind the competition.

Yup, the frontier it covered in the bodies of pioneers.
