Depending on the opponent that's all I need to hear.

When googling something, append -site:reddit.com

This is an easy test. If Reuters is lying, that means the Model 2 is still in development. Prove that Reuters is lying, Elon. you are uniquely positioned to be able to do that.

Fewer people are using Elon Musk’s X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts (www.nbcnews.com)

Data from two research firms and figures published by Musk and X suggest a deteriorating situation for X by some metrics. Musk has marketed it as the world’s “town square,” but in number of users it continues to lag far behind social media rivals that focus on video, such as Instagram and TikTok. ...

I need someone to tell me why Musk won't be a huge buyer of DWAC when it opens. How much of Truth Social would he need to get it merged with Twitter, which would get Trump back on the platform. Musk gets to help out the psycho conservative right and he gets to help himself.

dynamojoe ,

Trump is a meta-generator; there are articles critical of the articles critical of his coverage. Anyone could sell ads under a Trump tweet. How many real people joined Truth Social just to follow Trump, and more just to be able to see what the orange bastard spewed? There's a reason pre-Musk Twitter bent over backwards to keep the shit-flinging orangutan on their platform.

If Musk does nothing, Twitter dies in a slow spiral. He has to do something. What better way than to get a guy who people can't stop paying attention to, a frontrunner in an election season? The man gets clicks. If he's already dropped $44B on Twitter, what's another billion or two to save its life while simultaneously propping up his political choice, triggering the libs, and writing the loss off of his taxes?

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

dynamojoe ,

Not sharing the driving behavior.... for now. Any faucet that can be turned off can be turned on again.

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

I need a firefox plugin that blocks Twitter. Not tweets from blue checkmarks, the whole damn site.

Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. (newrepublic.com)

It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household....

That's such a weird passage. I can't be understanding this correctly. God tells David to count the people. David sends his generals to count the people. They report the count back to David, who apologizes and says he sinned for doing what God told him to do? IDGI

dynamojoe ,

Thanks!

dynamojoe ,

My kid consented. I think. Can she make binding contracts that she doesn't tell me about because she's looking for Blues Clues, or am I responsible for every OK she checks when I'm not present?

Arizona attorney general sues software company RealPage, residential landlords; accuses them of conspiring to illegally raise rents (www.azfamily.com)

Arizona attorney general sues software company RealPage, residential landlords; accuses them of conspiring to illegally raise rents::The suit alleges that landlords conspired with RealPage and used that information to conduct a price-fixing conspiracy.

Discovery is going to be a hoot. I wonder who is going to make it worse on themselves by trying to cover their tracks.

dynamojoe ,

That's an upgrade from the poop emoji that they were sending out right after Elongated Muskrat took over.

Musk says Tesla will hold shareholder vote ‘immediately’ to move company’s incorporation to Texas (www.forbes.com.au)

Musk says Tesla will hold shareholder vote ‘immediately’ to move company’s incorporation to Texas::Billionaire Elon Musk justified the decision on the results of an unscientific poll run on his X account a day earlier.

dynamojoe ,

My paltry few shares will vote No.

dynamojoe ,

Si. I'm a buy-and-hold investor and so far, so good. I wish I had bought more. I'm up about 700% (it was much more at the beginning of the year). I've informed my decision on this as moving stakes to TX may open Tesla to significant legal liability and it's being done solely in order to overpay the CEO, who is prone to making bad decisions. Overall I'm less than a drop in the bucket but I'm against it.

They've been sliding all month. $249->$188 so far.

dynamojoe ,

My guess is someone saw what was being built and said "hey, we can build something similar and sell it", hence the C&D.

dynamojoe ,

He can buy in but he can't buy all of Reddit. According to the article the IPO will only be for 10% of the company. If he goes in, that's only going to drive up the price.

Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla (www.cnn.com)

In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns....

dynamojoe ,

I look forward to voting against that proposal, if it ever comes up before the shareholders. If he spins off companies to compete against Tesla while still working for it, he'd get sued to pieces.

dynamojoe ,

That will end up as a class action lawsuit with some merit. There will be a race to file this one.

X runs ‘timeline takeover’ ad promoting anti-trans film (techcrunch.com)

Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to...

Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.
