Elon & Twitter

[TSLA Siempre]

Amazing to see a lot of old time posters to this website return. A sign of the level of concern about this issue.

You may be right in your description of this scientist, or not, but why do you fry Elon for it?

Do you think this man should be silenced, like Twitter did? Who gets to make that decision? Who gets to decide where science ends and fraud or quackery begins? Twitter for sure can't make that decision, it lacks the required knowledge. Other scientists seem to have that knowledge, but who checks whether they themselves are right or wrong? And which right do they have to silence a peer?

You may think the man is a 'clown', but he may think the opposite. Science has not made progress by silencing people with dissenting opinions. Science can only make progress through the exchange of arguments and counterarguments. There should be a place where all sides can express themselves. Elon wants Twitter to be that place.

Peer Review?

It's even worse than Gary states. If the CEO was just absent, that would be one thing.... the CEO is actually inflicting damage. Needs to stop.

Time to sell TSLA...

Are you going to do what Allysa Millano did? Sell your American made car and buy a car from a foreign manufacturer which was created under the Hitler regime? How is that fighting hate?

It’s not, just a weird cope but by all means sell your Tesla at a loss and overpay for an inferior EV to show Elon.

I could use a donor car to harvest a BTX6 from if anyone wants to DM me.

Bigotry wrapped in “well meaning” is still bigotry. That’s what woke is. That’s what EM is fighting.

No, just ... no. You’re completely ignoring the intent of those statutes. They weren’t erected to commemorate that saddest of chapters in American history.
They were put up, like half a century after the war to try and cement white supremacy in the South. This is well-documented.
The presence of those statutes is a slap in the face to any Black person who has had to live with them.

 

[advocate8]

I don't understand. Did Musk come out against the removal of Confederate statues, or did you front run and assume he will?

I dont think he’s said word one on it, and prob isn’t going to. Someone was speculating.

Who put them up and who benefits from whitewashing their own history?

I’ll give you a hint, “the switch” was just a change of tactics. The overbearing desire to maintain a tight grip on the populace remains exactly the same.

I thought that was just the short range?

Sorry that doesn't make sense at all. People should be represented in movies like they are in society. You could also make the argument that movies should only have straight people or white people if heterosexuality is the point of the movie, makes as littles sense as what you said

I was being sarcastic and a world in a movie that is all straight white isnt at all what the world is really like. Unless of course the movie/show is trying to show some sort of alternate reality like say "The Man in the High Castle"

The statues celebrate one side of a conflict to free humans from slavery (the wrong side, by the way)
I would argue their removal from the public square helps further inclusion.

I still am lost as to the definition of "wokism" It would seem to mean different things to different people.

Anti-wokism is the desire to be critical of political views without explicitly stating what those political views are.

Science is never settled.

The earth is not flat. Settled.

Better to buy from a car company that produced cars during the Nazi regime or a buy from a car company that has a CEO that is now boosting up Nazi's that are alive and recruiting?

Why do people pretend that's the only other EV builder?

You should include the several hundred thousand deaths (minimum) attributable to the Clean Diesel air pollution scandal. That was pretty recent. And very intentional. Up and down the whole company.

[Tweeter rant]If Musk gets anymore consumed and LOST in his ultra Maga/QAnon conspiracy crap he is going to start attacking Tesla drivers as being worse for the environment than ICE cars. He may be intelligent in many ways but his QAnon infused conspiracy stupidity rabbit holes are KILLING TSLA. Buying Tweeter was BY FAR the worst thing that could happen to TSLA. TSLA is about to fall below $500B market capitalization. Not only was it a huge pile of wasted/burned TSLA money (and will continue to consume money) he is also using Tweeter to lower TSLA value by all of his inflammatory to embarrassing Tweets. Is he now an active short of TSLA? No doubt the shorts are LOVING him now. It is PAST time for the board to act and hire a detected CEO. Tesla has outgrown Musk and he is regressing in SO many ways and his liabilities and antics FAR out weigh his benefits now.

Something to be happy about:

FWIW, I unfollowed Elon Musk. Also unfollowed Omar - who like his master suddenly turned alt-right.

Hoping to improve my timeline.
