Imagine spending $44B so you can impress "catturd" and he spurns you.

There we are. https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/19/23562947/twitter-third-party-client-tweetbot-twitterific-ban-rules "“We have been respectful of their API rules, as published, for the past 16 years,” wrote Ged Maheux, a co-founder of Twitterific developer The Iconfactory, in a blog post about...

Go ahead find a way to defend the indefensible by saying it's news. Meanwhile the rest of us realize this is why this came up now.

3rd party app access (Tweetbot anyway) came and went again today.

Nobody is "scraping." They're utilizing the twitter API, provided by twitter to developers to do what they're doing. And just last month twitter said they were still committed to it.

yes it's all a conspiracy, you've cracked it wide open

This really ties it all together. Tesla, Twitter and Musk.

Or does it

hell yeah. same

he used two exclamation marks here so he must be joking

Given his recent history of giving creedence to the absolute dumbest sht imaginable there was zero reason to give him the benefit of the doubt when it came to whether that was sarcasm. I didn't think it was. And he waited 5 hours before following up. Between which time who knows what happened.

My kid is both trans and asd (fwiw Asperger’s is not used as a diagnosis anymore). Interestingly there is actually a strong correlation between the two because often what asd does is make the person question or see through social constructions (like gender) and say, “this doesn’t apply to me.”

As the parent of a trans kid I could not be happier to have dumped my 3.

Good thread

Everybody knows most of the folks in the American cultural milieu Elon is courting would rather roll coal than give half a thought to climate change. They exist, like he is seemingly these days, to push cruelty, contrarianism and suffering so they can feel like they’ve won. He is completely...

When you're a stable genius

Not being a forum regular I dont know what that means. But I also sort of suspect this guy is a bit of a fraud. I can't find any verifiable background that would suggest he's that important.

Be warned: I have no idea who this guy is or if this is legit deleting probably fraudulent tweet

I honestly believe it is

People will say that you can actually link to other sites from twitter and that isn't the policy. But don't let it be forgotten that this was explicitly the policy when they dropped it earlier today and they were forced to loosen it once it was clear it was untenable and moronic. Perfect...

I think he should step away from Tesla. This will be sacrilege to some, but he's a liability generally. And any harebrained decision we had to endure under his tenure (shipping anything early, bad UI choices, some downright dangerous stuff) I can easily imagine is a result of him sitting in a...

lol, lmao I'm genuinely torn. On the one hand there were parts of twitter I liked without Elon (the banning of some Nazis). On the other this is wildly entertaining and seems to be breaking his brain.

yeah, it's just funny.

1. I'd be curious which links you can't post on YouTube 2. eBay isn't a social media network

lololol There is no plan. There is one man's capricious whims. He's explicitly on the side of stochastic terrorist platform Libs of TikTok, exacting revenge at the journalist who id'ed her. Meanwhile, I guarantee she will continue to operate unobscructed. Free to identify more children's...

Lol, that would mean every owner was trapped in this episode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Good_Life_(The_Twilight_Zone)

We are all free to make up our minds as to whether this conduct makes any sense. To me it doesn't. It's the whims of a billionaire crybaby, with a long history of misrepresentation, shifting in the wind. Addressing his personal vendettas. If you think otherwise, c'est la vie. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty good thread here https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1603876025242378248.html

Being "overly optimistic" isn't the thing that gets you an SEC consent decree.

1. Did the journalists post his location in violation of his new rule (no) 2. Did he continue to falsely accuse them of this and use this as a pretense of banning (yes). 3. Is he a liar (years of proof of this)

World's richest man. "CEO" of 3 companies, spends a not insignificant time replying to an account that posts his own quotes. lol

meanwhile

pretty good summary https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-bans-journalists-twitter-reinstating-nazis-1849901795?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_campaign=dlvrit&utm_content=gizmodo

A bunch of journalists. His claim was they were "doxing him in real time" which was 1. Not true, and 2. A rule he had just made up. This one, which just happened today was because she was reporting on him in a negative light. Ex montrealer here, btw! I miss it.

He's not an engineer. He's the world's luckiest project manager.

When it's going great

Then buys anyone around him a horse to cover up for the fart.

It is, by the way, a very nice car.

I found it available in both in LA and Spokane. But yes, it is just getting ramped up and is subject to the usual supply chain issues.

Maybe I'm missing something but I test drove a Genesis GV60 not long ago. It exists and I can buy it. What isn't for sale?

I have to figure there's still plenty of room to short it. Elon is just beginning his descent into full Qanon apologist in search of personal approval.

I went with the 2023 EV6 AWD with tech package. Found one without dealer markup. So far so good. There are positives and negatives to both, of course.

Welp, traded my M3LR in this weekend and got totally hosed on the resale. But glad to be done with feeling like I was supporting this sh*tshow.
