meaning he is a robot who nightly executes a script to set himself to low power mode

yeah idk why people represent him as an engineer or having present-day programming knowledge, he was in the web 1.0 years with a group making online yellow pages type of crap and selling those off for a couple years before starting one of the paypal predecessors, and by that point he was already the financial backer

I imagine that there are some percentage of competent, rational people in positions of authority at Tesla, and they are doing their damnedest to run things normally despite having a despotic CEO operating by whim. I see the WFH thing same as the Pride thing, you maintain sane policies and just sort of cross your fingers and hope he moves on to another shiny object before he actually take any actions behind his pronouncements and tweets. All that being said, the cultishness and sketchiness of Tesla probably mean that the ratio of competence and rationality is lower than in other comparable companies.

Musks are the reason oligarchs need a Putin. Don’t worry, we’re making one now, but he is still currently a low-level (fascist) bureaucrat/officer right now. For all of Trump’s bullshit, he cannot Putin, he’s yeltsin and will need an out/rescue.

The message, sent on Thursday and titled "pause all hiring worldwide", came two days after the billionaire told staff to return to the workplace or leave
Just leave already, the robots will build each other and work 150 hours a week and they don't even care if the plant is racist

Wish these creepy, terminally online Musk stans got into like, Asimov, instead.

saw a thread on twitter where someone posted screens of musk critical threads on various nerd sites reddit etc they said the stans are still around but the tide seems to have turned against him

well he's dicking around with twitter instead of space stations, of course they're gonna start drifting away

his name was brought up at the record store the other day and the responses were "I am so fucking sick of hearing about that whiny idiot" and "I hope his rocket blows up with him inside" which is uh not how people were talking about him a couple years ago

xpyeah I imagine a lot of his core stans are the kind of people who bristle at everything being "political"

yeah scamming is fundamentally unsustainable, feel like he couldve or maybe still can thread the needle where he scams to keep the tesla stock price high long enough to reap the benefits but then at some point it becomes a normal profitable company with a normal stock price, but idk its prob not in his nature

After reading Alec Nevala-Lee's Astounding I'd be happy if Asimov just stayed dead and buried.
