- I expect it’s already in the works. pressure from tesla to focus just has to be increasing. - i.b! Dec 18, 16:06 6
  - seeing how he runs a company when he's "focused" i'm not sure Tesla could survive -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 18, 16:27 3
    - He's been CEO of Tesla since 2009. Do you think he's done a bad job there? - zunk takes things literally Dec 18, 16:36 2
      - let's judge since he came out as a racist/MAGA POS. Tesla is fucked -- nm* - Beaker Dec 18, 16:42
      - it’s not b&w. there have been a lot of missteps, many of which would not have happened with a different kind of ceo. - i.b! Dec 18, 16:41

  - I would say there's a ton of EQ to remove the wind noise, which could remove some letter sounds like P and T or S, making it sound like he's slurring - Guigue Dec 18, 14:59 2
    - The other person didn't have the same issue -- nm - Beryllium Dec 18, 15:34 1

Heh. Paul Graham's Twitter account suspended after saying "I give up" and putting a Mastodon link in his profile. -- (link) - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 18, 14:06 13
- ANNNNNNNNNNND how it ended: ACCOUNT SUSPENDED -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 18, 14:41
- Hmm, it may be that it was just his website linked in his profile; and the tweet saying his Masto handle was on his site. -- nm - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 18, 14:37 2
  - Which is even more hostile than banning based on a direct link to the competitor. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 18, 14:46 1
    - Makes me rethink my MeFi strategy, maybe, but eh. -- nm - mara Dec 18, 15:29
- So apparently Musk just changed the negative words to earn a ban from racist / vile words to competitors. I’m so glad he’s got top notch software - Will Hunting Dec 18, 14:24 6
  - Well, just using the word Mastodon isn't resulting in suspensions. Apparently there has to be a link or username. -- nm - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 18, 14:33
  - At this rate, Volkswagen has a chance to ship a vehicle with better software than Tesla. - Beryllium Dec 18, 14:26 4
    - Based on his own logic, he’s a terrible Tesla boss. - Will Hunting Dec 18, 14:28 3
      - It's certainly an argument for replacing him as CEO. Either they're dead weight, or he hurt Tesla by using its employees to work on Twitter. -- nm - TWuG Dec 18, 14:32
      - Based on his own finding out, his logic was flawed anyway. - Beryllium Dec 18, 14:31 1
        
        "I don't like the implementation so the code must be wrong" is certainly a take. -- nm - TWuG Dec 18, 14:33
- "It's OK to change your mind" -- sure, but maybe note that other people had the right take earlier. -- nm - Reagen Dec 18, 14:20
- That's really, really funny *and* telling about how little Musk actually has to do with the successes of his companies. -- nm - David Dec 18, 14:17
Hang on, Marvel Snap just matched me against someone named Dano. Could it be...? -- nm - One Baron Posting Dec 18, 14:02

jack questions new Twitter policy -- (link) - budice Dec 18, 13:25 4
- Musk either fundamentally misunderstood the assignment or wanted to kill Twitter intentionally. I can't think of anything - TWuG Dec 18, 14:25
- also this, after nostr was added. nm but: -- (link*) - i.b! Dec 18, 13:27 2
  - screenshot version. nm but: -- (pic) - i.b! Dec 18, 13:29 [Attachment] 1
    - I think they did more promotion for Nostr than Nostr ever dreamed of. First I ever heard of it. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 18, 14:45
Please somebody check for me: can you see my profile without being logged into Metafilter? -- (link) - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 18, 12:55 4

- A bit more profanity than I'm used to seeing from you. Retirement has *really* loosened you up! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 18, 13:00
- Yes and yes. -- nm - Reagen Dec 18, 12:57 1
  - Thanks! -- nm - mara xmas, ya filthy animals Dec 18, 13:00

- only three years separating Richards and Spielberg seems weird -- nm - prayformojo Dec 18, 13:00 1
  - I was expecting Richards to be 86 or something. Also, realizing a Bond song artist is only now old enough to drink is something. -- nm* - Max Dec 18, 13:03
