I absolutely hate how much CEOs acting like children / influencers has become the norm. Maybe they were always like this, and twitter has just given us a window into it, but I for one would wholeheartedly welcome a return to "respectability" norms for business and civic leaders.

I only call it Twitter because I’m not gonna say “X” it just sounds stupid.

You could split the difference and call it Xitter.

This is what I do. I cannot call it Twitter anymore because that makes me sad (I miss you Twitter 2008-2016). I cannot call it X because that is dumb. So Xitter it is.

It feels like Musk is single-handedly making a great case for why unlimited accumulation of wealth is a bad idea. It's pretty colorful language, but my mind immediately jumps to "financial terrorist". He's using his enormous amount of wealth and influence as a weapon to bludgeon anyone and anything in his way.

this is why china doesn't have more than ≈ 10 billionaires and stopped jack ma from controlling more than he already does through media/financial ventures

Hardly Musk's first attempt at blatant market manipulation. Hell, that was how he got stuck holding the bag with Twitter

What market is openai trading on?

Just because a company is not being traded on the open market doesn't mean it doesn't exist within the context of a market economy

Yes, I’m apparently not the only one wondering why you consider him a terrorist, so please do.

First: I did not use the word terrorist, nor do I know anyone that has. I am sure some people feel that way, particularly those that are close to communities in which he is inspiring fear and anxiety. As for why I and "the left" don't like him? To be honest, I don't really want to have that conversation in an internet forum, and your incuriosity on your original comment coupled with inserting words into my mouth give…

We are responding below a comment that called him a financial terrorist. Did you not even read it?

And, predictably, you have nothing of substance to offer.

Millions of dollars worth of subscriptions for reporting on government press releases with added spin seems like a great example of waste to me... The government shouldn't be paying any media outlets purely due to the conflict of interest, regardless. > Or are we to believe that competence is just arbitrarily cross-applicable? I would wager that even you are more competent than the average auditor, assuming you know…

Their infotaiment uses a customized Debian distro. On a Model S you could easily get a shell into it, because they used a freaking SSH with a password-based authentication over Ethernet to connect from the instrument cluster to the computer in the central console. You could sniff the password with a man-in-the-middle attack, if you knew the host key of the instrument cluster. Here's one from my previous Model S: http…

This is a gist created 1 hour ago. No proof of the attack vector. What's the point of posting a private key? Also, so what if they used Debian? Linux is used on everything. Debian has multiple licenses, it also has BSD3 and others to choose from: https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/

Your post reads like Debian is available with multiple licenses including BSD3 This is not true.

The page you posted is a list of licenses various software in the Debian distribution are released with.

Of course the parent's idea that Tesla using Debian means they have to release the source of anything is incorrect.

I think the grass roots of the tech world has some portion of the blame here. The introduction of hoodies, flip-flops, open drama and bickering, and kicker into the office environment is not unrelated. And it’s not just CEOs, we’ve now got a senator who looks like the guy I bought pot from as a kid. I never thought I’d make this argument, but maybe at least appearing respectable increases the odds that you’ll actuall…

Eh, respectable looking people were responsible for the Holocaust, slavery, segregation, and plenty more.

Plenty more indeed, like , hmm I dunno, Western Civilization?
