I’ve just remembered “I’m a free speech absolutist, but not when it comes to parodies of me” and “tweeting my publicly available flight logs is sending out assassination coordinates”. What a joke of an individual. Cry more Elmo.

The same as they first in line to get government money and whine when extra cent goes to public needs.

Using government subsidies to lobby against welfare...

No idea why people keep buying cars from this guy. Fuck this moron.

I'm in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. It's amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily there's a ton of ~~competition~~ cheaters now

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

A conservative was talking at me a few weeks ago about how much he loved how Musk was pissing off the libs and about how he's a shrewd businessman. I asked if he would buy a Tesla and he said never. He didn't have a response when I told him Musk doesn't sound like a good businessman.

My dad was going to buy a Tesla up until a few years ago, there's far more and better competition nowadays. And it's really seeming Tesla's are actively dangerous.

I would not buy cars from a guy who can't even manage a website.

It's not cheating to hire the workers you unceremoniously fired to save money asshole. It's called capitalism.

Then again, every super wealthy capitalist doesn't actually want capitalism. They want feudalism, where nobody else is allowed to compete with them and if someone makes them angry they can banish them from society without trial.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Usually they don't allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it's basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don't just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.

“Competition is fine” says the guy that was born into wealth and was given a huge leg up in life. Although, I really hope they duke it out in court with Meta just so they burn through piles of money needlessly.

As if there's any secret to Twitter that any person couldn't figure out, we're talking about 280 character messages. I hope they both just cancel each other out.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Welfare queen, that relies on government subsidies to run his business, accuses other billionaires of cheating in the market. Hilarious

[–] jerdle_lemmy 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not cheating to have a similar UI. Fuck off Musk.

What they do is pass laws to make their cheating legal and therefore not cheating, while making actual honest competition illegal, and therefore cheating. The game is easy when it's rigged.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What part of it is supposed to be cheating?

[–] asal 30 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Poaching Twitter employees and stealing “trade secrets”.

Because you know, it has nothing to do with the fact that Threads is basically just Instagram with no pictures.

I'm sure Meta's lawyers are shaking in their boots lol

Wait, didn't he buy his way into Tesla and then forced out the previous CEO or something?

I can't believe I'm rooting for The Zuck. Worse case of "enemy of my enemy" ever.

Though if Twitter does fall Meta should be next. It won't be, but it's nice to imagine.

What is the context of his tweet?

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter's a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

can we not drag elmo's good name through the mud? i understand it is to dunk on elon but elmo is a wonderful character from my childhood and my four year old daughter loves him also. i just don’t think it is fair to elmo

I thought the same when people described those 2 jabronis that fucked up the end of Game of Thrones as D&D. Like come on, fam. D&D is way cooler than those 2.

It's not even clear if Meta hired anyone from Twitter. You don't need any secret sauce to build something like Twitter.

Why does he consider it cheating? Now hopefully facebook will fuck it up, as well, so they loose money and user base.
