Elon's Antics

[TB]

We walked through this rally yesterday on our way from the hotel to eat supper.

Objections to DOGE lead to demonstration outside Waikiki Tesla

Demonstrators voice displeasure over federal cuts.

Wonder what right-wingers who hate unelected bureaucrats think of this unelected bureaucrat, the one with more power and less accountability than any other in history.

No, don't tell me, I'm sure they dislike him just as much as the others.

What can you do personally to hold Elon accountable? Here are some steps you could take (I've tried to order them somewhat in terms of how easy it is to do):

• Do not buy a Tesla
• Do not use or repost Xitter
• Do not use Starlink (or I guess T-Mobile)
• Sell your Tesla and Xitter stock
• If you live in a republican district, call your representative to complain about Elon
• Sell your Tesla vehicle
• Do not work for Tesla, Xitter, SpaceX (or any other Elon company). I do not include the Federal Government in this list because Elon benefits from you leaving that job rather than staying.
• Protest at the facilities of one of these companies

Probably there are a few other things to do as well. But I'm not sure how many people in this thread have thought about the ways that they can refuse to support him on a personal level.

On the list of things to boycott, this has to be WAY up there. Maybe not past certain things (e.g. $TRUMP coin, or anything related to Putin or Uyghur labor), but it has to be pretty far up the chain.

Xitter doesn't have any stock anymore since it is private.

Good point.

Lol

Also discussions that Canada will implement a 100% Tariff on all Teslas.

I do admire Ford's approach, if only the rest of the Canadian provinces would follow his example. Trump thinks trade is essential, Ford is showing him that it isn't.

Ketamine story

What Ketamine Does to the Human Brain — The Atlantic

Health Excessive use of the drug can make anyone feel like they rule the world. March 05, 2025 Last month, during Elon Musk’s appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, as he hoisted a chain saw in the air, stumbled over some of his words, and questioned whether there was really...

I've figured out a possible reason why Elon Musk's Tesla "Full Self Driving" still doesn't work after over ten years of promising "it'll be ready next year".

To make the programming more efficient, he simply removes ten or twenty percent of the lines of code. Which lines? The ones that are easiest to remove, such as the probationary lines of code.

Next time you have a spreadsheet that doesn't look quite right or is a bit slow to recalculate, you might try this Elon Musk Efficiency Trick™

So he also has no idea how to code and he runs the additional risk of bricking all of it?
