    It's amazing the lack of foresight and thought that goes into these decisions with such huge ramifications.

    even in this one, it’s clearly another brain blast handed down as company policy.

    raw follow count seems like a bad way to choose. and who decides what counts as a “company and organization” for consideration in the first place? musk himself would hardly be a neutral arbiter

    it’s just a plain ole bad idea . You can’t exempt the top 10,000… so 10,001 has to pay 12,000 a year? Good luck.

    I can’t wait until Elon accidentally does something right and Whammy comes swooping down into the thread to remind us that he was right all along, only to disappear two hours later when Elon gets back to baseline.

    that’s the secret, he hasn’t. it’s his PR and brand on top of actual engineers’ work

    He hasn’t. Up until recently, he only funded others to make things for him, and then pretended it was him. Once the myths were broken and people realized he doesn’t know shit, he could have rode off into the sunset, laughing all the way. Instead, he doubled down to show everyone he’s not an idiot and made it worse. And he’s letting it ride.

    I get people falling for Musk at first. He had great PR and it was hard to really know anything about him. But still riding with this dude is hilarious.

    I would say Greenwald is the only one on that list Ive been bamboozled by but in my defense he is also the only one of them that actually accomplished something worthwile with his own work.

    If he had a less unique sounding name that didn’t sound futuristic he’d be nobody. Name him Bob Dole with the same decision making and he’s no one.

    Musk overestimated the demand for his product. There is supply but not demand. It’s simple economics shit is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
