29.2 tweets a day?

At a rate of 10,658 tweets a year, I'd hope he tweets at least one useful thing

[–] [email protected] 60 points 3 weeks ago

Tesla board member and close Musk confidant Antonio Gracias once took Musk's phone away to prevent him from tweeting late into the night, Isaacson said during a Twitter Spaces event on Wednesday.

"At one point when Elon was firing off tweets without filtering them in the least, they were on a trip and Antonio took his iPhone — Elon's iPhone — and locked it in the hotel safe with Antonio punching in the code so that Elon couldn't get up at 3 a.m. and start tweeting again," Isaacson said, describing Gracias as "one of Elon's closest friends."

Musk later got hotel security to open the safe at around 3 a.m. so he could start tweeting again, Isaacson said.

The biographer added that Musk is "almost addicted to the drama that comes with Twitter" and sees owning Twitter as a way he can be "king of the playground."

"It's something he loves — loves almost to the point of compulsion," Isaacson said, adding that some of his friends, including his brother Kimbal Musk, attempted to convince him not to buy Twitter.

Put your money where your mouth is and open source the Tesla software. Do it. I fuckin' dare ya.

Edit: we want Falcon 9's landing guidance software too.

[–] evidences 98 points 3 weeks ago (16 children)

Open sourcing the falcon 9 software would almost definitely be a violation of ITAR.... On second thought it would be fun to see him go to prison.

[–] jelloeater85 64 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing could possibly go wrong open sourcing a ~~missle~~ rocket guidance system...

No, not just open, free it entirely. License the code under a GPL license.

Careful Linus. This guy may start claiming he is a confounder of Linux any moment now.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 weeks ago

Musk certainly is confounding.

The nice thing about Linux is, he can't buy it and fuck it up.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 3 weeks ago (13 children)

He can still fuck up the community.

You say that, but I'll be more than willing to try and sell him a copy of the source code.

No this dipshit just says whatever he thinks is going to be the most popular with the tech bros he is desperate to be in front of.

Broken clock.

He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.

Elon just tries to get approval by finding a dominate opinion among a group of people and parroting back what they say and want. Kinda obvious and pathetic.

Is it purely because Linux has the letter "X" in it?

[–] Randelung 40 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

First thing he'll do is write Torvalds and suggest a minor change to the naming.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 45 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

given Linus' flair for writing replies, I would love to see him rip into Elon.

Sorry Elon you, specifically, have to go to space before getting involved in Linux. It's the Shuttleworth law.

These comments are insane. Even Hitler washed his hands. Are you gonna stop doing that just cause a piece of shit agreed it was good?
