Man drank the potion that makes everything you say a lie before he did this interview.
Claims 100,000 people is almost nobody.
He also said:
“Legitimate recipients of social security will receive more money not less money,” Musk said. “Let the record show that I said this.”
Despite the fact that he has done nothing to change the amount owed and that he has increased federal deficit due to layoffs at the IRS.
Musk said. “Let the record show that I said this.”
Oh Elon, your record on "what you said" and reality has been divorced from one another for a long long time.
He meant almost no one that he considers human.
Doge members, including Airbnb co-founder, aired their vision for federal government to be ‘Apple Store-like’
I want to Luigi them all, it’s hard to know where to start. Capitalism is commodifying existence into a progressively-restrictive slavery. Defenders say the market course-corrects, but greed is always going to be the piece of the democratic Jenga tower back down to authoritarianism.
It feels more and more like it's time to get the guillotines ready.
Here's the only real alternative: https://generalstrikeus.com/
Apple-store like? So, insanely expensive and of little help? Supported by modern slavery?
Ya.... But with white walls.
I honestly have never been into an apple store. Why would we want this?
The vagueness of this statement is pretty telling of the competence of these 'founders'. Rich assholes who have a 'vision' and make people who actually work figure out what the fuck is going on.
My experience of an apple store is that people go in there to browse facebook or look at porn. Haven't been in one since roughly 2007 though
Is this one of the things where no one was fired because they were all laid off and it's word games?
“The variable was not defined as zero. The definition is now null.”
Nah knowing musk it’s worse. You could falsy null and zero to a boolean false. Knowing big nuts or whatever the alt right college kid he hired it’s probably an object with a single prop like:
{
true: “false”
}
Rolling on ketamine, spouting verbal diarrhea, again. His brain is shot.
I’m old enough to remember him:
—agreeing to fight Zuckerberg (he chickened 🐔out)
—saying full self driving will be available in 2016 (it still doesn’t work)
—agreeing to an unedited interview with Jon Stewart (he chickened 🐔 out)
—challenge Putin to one on one combat (now he carries ALL of Putin’s water)
That's worse!
The whole point was to trim excess. If they really had fired almost nobody, that would mean they're doing maximum damage with very little "benefits".
Now, obviously doing damage is what Trump and co. want. But the initial claim was efficiency.
If everyone of those "nobody" would kick his ass, he sure would feel it.
There once was a man named Musk,
Whose kindness was starting to rust.
He trimmed what he could,
For the wealthy, he’d stood,
While the needy were left in the dust.
Much in the same sense that amost no one hates Tesla.
The reason tech billionaires want to AI the government, is so it can run without anyone.
AI buerocrats, AI soldiers, no use for any human thats not in the 0.001%
Anyone that thinks they'll want billions of broke starving humans roaming around fucking up shit is delusional. When they don't need us, were too big of a risk to keep around.
It's not going to be a super smart AI that attacks humanity, it's gonna be some asshat techbro telling it to.
