>All this talk about some Elon Musk drama
I thought it was common knowledge at this point that he is just Peter Thiel-tier controlled opposition.
@xianc78 yeah he does cool things and even game changing things but he's still ultimately not "on our side"

Like what? The EVs that everybody (both left and right) mocks? The brainchips that nobody wants? SpaceX is the only thing that he does and (some) people actually like, but I also have beef with that because Mars colonization simply isn't feasible right now.
@xianc78 buying twitter, imo. not like twitter is perfect, but it's definitely better than where it was and i think that's contributed to some positive effects
@beardalaxy He made it worse. He killed the API, plans to make it an "everything app" (digital ID), renamed it to a single letter, still practices censorship, and ultimately made social media even more fractured by having people with EDS move to places like various Mastodon servers and BlueSky. The latter could've been a good thing because it somewhat killed the monopoly, but it goes with what I said a while back about the things you use being a political statement because using Twitter means that you are sucking Elon's cock, using BlueSky means that you want to return to Dorsey's Twitter, using Mastodon (the servers that federate with Mastodon.social) means that you are some far-left anti-capitalist who can't hear anything to the right of antifa, and using Nostr means that you are some lolbert cryptobro who thinks that bitcoin is going to save the world.
@xianc78 and despite the shit teslas get and their various problems, they are still really nice cars (not you cyber truck).
