In contrast, #Musk had posted >20X this yr about #Trump. In those posts, #ElonMusk defended Trump, arguing that he is a #victim of #media & prosecutorial #bias in the #criminal cases that Trump faces.
Musk’s posts…signal…a willingness to tip the #political scales as the owner of an influential #SocialMedia#platform, something that no other leader of a social media firm has done. And Musk exerts outsize #influence over the political discourse on X, where he regularly posts to his 184M followers
@Nonilex Fuck Elon Musk, and I hope Space X gets sued to creation and back for clogging up our night sky and dumping space junk all over THE WORLD. I hope he goes broke in a spectacular display.
#Musk has lost a lot of his clout, but his RW rhetoric is harmful to Pres Biden, Dems & #democracy given his SM influence:
Last month, he posted on X that Pres Biden “obviously barely knows what’s going on.” “He's just a tragic front for a far left pol machine"-29th time this year -he'd posted about the pres. on X. By bringing an ideological bent to X, Musk mirrors what media moguls such as Murdoch are doing -helping shape their outlets’ coverage & broader pol discourse. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/elon-musk-ramps-up-anti-biden-posts-on-x/
@KimPerales
Remove every one of this MFers subsidies and government contracts. Then maybe he will shut his piehole. 🤬 I don't know who I despise more, this prick or his PayPal bud Thiel. Both "immigrants".
@KimPerales
Lone Skum biting the hand that’s fed him and enriched him for years. If US Gov cancels all SpaceX contracts, Elon would be knee deep in shit. But the dumbass still wouldn’t get it. Fascist gonna talk and support and do fascist things...
"TWITTER IS OFFICIALLY dead. Last week, twitter.com became x.com, marking the final step in a rebranding effort that the company’s owner, Elon Musk, announced last year. The change marks a shift for the now birdless app under Musk’s reign, which has welcomed Nazis and white supremacists back to the platform, dissolved its Trust and Safety council, and has become a cesspool of disinformation and conspiracy."
@KimPerales It's bizarre that they describe Altman as one of their 'most successful alumni' since just about everything he did before OpenAI failed on its merits. But he was able to leverage them to get progressively more-lucrative gigs, whether or not the companies actually did well, so I guess that makes him "successful" - as a grifter.
" DOD: Russia’s use of Starlink will be a ‘continuous problem’ in Ukraine.
The Pentagon and #SpaceX have been working together to shut off Russia’s use of #Starlink."
#TESLA NEWS: New York City Comptroller Brad Lander Files Letter to #TSLA Shareholders with #SEC: The Board's Failure to Curtail the CEO Jeopardizes Tesla’s Brand, so "we urge you to vote against the reelection of Kimbal Musk and James Murdoch and against the ratification of the #Musk 2018 Pay Package."
James Murdoch is a #climatedenial promoter. He is a billionaire's buddy on a Board that is totally captive to Musk's fantasies. That's no way to make money!
⚡Tesla's Supercharger Changes Tell the EV Industry: Fend for Yourselves
— Business Insider
"I got a bounce from every email address," said Andres Pinter, a co-CEO of Bullet EV Charging Solutions, which has about a dozen projects underway for Tesla. Other contractors, he said, may be in trouble if they don't have non-Tesla projects to fall back on."
🧠 Exclusive: Musk's Neuralink has faced issues with its tiny wires for years, sources say
— @Reuters
"The company knew from animal testing it had conducted ahead of its U.S. approval last year that the wires might retract, removing with them the sensitive electrodes that decode brain signals, three of the sources said. Neuralink deemed the risk low enough for a redesign not to be merited, the sources added."
