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
