tifosi77's thread of Musk

[Morkle]

lol code commits have achieved in the last six month. I wonder how many are actually left that had a hand in major code releases, that can actually quantify his demands to provide examples.

So many people work on bits and pieces, that's just nonsense.

"@kateconger
Musk just asked all software engineers to come to an in person meeting today. Beforehand, they’re supposed to email him screenshots of their recent code.

This comes, of course, after last night’s announcement that Twitter’s offices would be closed today and badge access would be suspended.

In a follow up email, Musk encouraged people to fly to SF for this."

That's just amazing.

[Morkle]

Like, that is hilarious.

This is the source for my above post, just thought it was cleaner in one read:

You're a year late, my man.

Zorg.

This is oh so close to being a reality.

Replace 'little red button at the bottom of the ZF-1' with 'blue checkmark next to username'..............

OT, but if you haven't already checked it out (I'd bet my mortgage that you have), look up Adam Savage's ZF1 replica build video.

The one with the fully functional flame thrower? Oh yes.

It was worth watching that episode 1) to find out Gary Oldman was an avid maker, and 2) to see him holding his own ZF-1 prop that Adam built for him. Brings a tear to the eye.

Making cars with the money they are getting from customers buying future cars.

There is an understated elegance of economy here that deserves note.


He is not a co-founder of Tesla, yet every news article you're likely to ever read about the company refers to him as such, as does tesla.com. The ability to refer to himself as a cofounder was part of a lawsuit settlement brought by one of the actual cofounders. (Musk isn't the only Tesla investor who gets to call themselves a cofounder of the company, but he's probably the only one most of us have actually heard of)

How many of you think Musk 'founded' PayPal?

Apologies, I mean using the money from customer purchases to fulfill prior orders.

[Viva la Ben]

Every day it’s another dose of Elon’s stupidity. How long can he keep this up?

[Trip McNeely]

The whole “will be in my office until midnight” is also part of Musk’s fake ass hard worker persona he’s created, like the pics floated on the internet of him sleeping in his office. Bro, your in San Fran, go get a hotel or something.

[tifosi77]

Twitter HQ is across the street from Civic Center Plaza. It's walking distance from just about everything in the city.

[tifosi77]

Do not underestimate the power of ego to drive stupid decision making. He's still treating Twitter like a SaaS thing, which it sort of is in terms of how it is used. But the reality is it is a marketing company.

lol, the Bablyon Bee account is back.

Mission accomplished.

[count2infinity]

Until Trump is back, there is no freedom.
