Ebiquity said its analysis appears to contradict statements made by X CEO Linda Yaccarino

Yes that’s what I thought, a bit of reality distortion and gas lighting the public will surely solve this. 😋
Remarkable how much Elons tactics for the past few years remind me of Trump.

I think it’s called lying

Bingo.

That dick bag tried to rinse and repeat the same BS management strategy he used at a car company on a tech company and wouldn’t you know, it’s cratering right before or eyes.

Shocking.

Why would they “take it down” when anyone with even a modicum of business knowledge would assume a better replacement would be created and take it’s place. This making the next version of Twitter even harder to control.

Taking it over and controlling the content on it is/was the smart play, especially if you’re going to fork over the $ to buy it outright.

Stop trying to justify Elon’s shit business decisions. He can just be a fucking moron that got lucky with a few strategic purchases.

Chinese affordable EVs with an infotainment system that represents tech from the last 5 years.

Those aren’t the same customer demographics. The overwhelming majority of mobile phone gamers don’t know the first thing about emulators. Not to mention, other factors like mobile games being designed to tap into addictive triggers in the brain, social engineering, etc.

Out of all the games you listed, I believe King prints the most $ for Activision.

I worked for Musk for longer than I care to admit, well before the world caught on to what an evil snake oil salesman he is and I endorse this post.

Let me just say after my time that the pedophile thing is probably nowhere near the worst thing that man has said or done to others he deems unworthy.

But when will we finally be free of the pages upon pages of job listings for stable boys. Who will care for all the horses?!

You lost all credibility when you said it was “less about the costs”

I recently hired a mid -level manager from McDs strategy team and it’s at least 90% about cost reduction. They’re watching the adoption curve, because older and urban demographics still mostly order at the counter and refuse to use the self ordering lines. That’s why they offer free fries and free upgrades at select locations for using self ordering to force the greater adoption.

Also they’ve started reducing headcount in locations where adoption is higher, but still limit hours to hourly workers.

It’s all right there if you want to believe it, but good luck with the spin.

If it’s a Tesla, you lose all access to connectivity, OTA updates, “autopilot”, driver assist, gps, etc…

Fuck Elon

Not to be too harsh, but welcome to the life of pretty much every other 4 year degree professional.

Cost of college keeps going up, while salary and career prospects continue to decline.

Given your comment I’m not sure if this a positive comment on lemmy or whether you agree with the comment you responded to?

Someone being banned for arguing politics would never happen on Reddit, so given they were banned from two instances in <6hrs is a land speed record.

It’s not and that’s because it’s bad for Reddit’s business model in the short term. If you zoom out this is exactly why reddit is on a nose dive over the last 3 years. More. Shit. Content.

So you’ve never heard of theranos or we work?

Hyperloop, boring tunnels, sending cars to space, etc

Stop me when you’ve heard enough to believe this guy has obvious disdain for all of us.

This is a really lazy take. The elite have forever wanted to control the common people through the manipulation of laws, economy, news,etc. That’s why the Saudis put up the majority of the loan to enable Elon to buy it…so they could gain control over public dissent and white wash their abhorrent public image.

Meanwhile, Elon’s a glorified troll with a god complex, who wants to build his own clubhouse for more extreme right wing content.

Wishful thinking

You have to make a decision. Either he’s incredibly incompetent and incapable of accurately quoting one of the most basic stats a govenor should know about their own state or he lies so much that he’s completely incapable of telling the truth, no matter how stupid the lie is.

Actually, you don’t have to decide, it can be both. Dumb and evil. Door #3

Considering almost every reply you’re getting is telling you the same thing and you’re the one arguing a bad position, I’m gonna have to say it’s your comment that’s unnecessary.

Also, no one’s being grumpy to you, they’re just trying to correct you. If that’s what you call grumpy, maybe a thread on unpopular opinions isn’t the best place for a snowflake to post.

Right. Most don’t understand that risk is not just measured by frequency alone, but also by severity.

Nuclear is off the charts once you consider the full magnitude of a failure.
