Elon & Twitter

[jabloomf1230]

Hmm, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is not government affiliated? I thought it was a Crown Corp., so it's similar to CPB and NPR.

And try searching for it in Twitter.

... Violent crime in SF is horrific...

Really? I haven't found a statistic about "violent crime" in general, but this one about the homicide rates in 2022 among the 75 largest cities in the US:

Chicago, New Orleans were the nation’s murder capitals in 2022 – A Wirepoints survey of America’s 75 largest cities | Wirepoints

Chicago and New Orleans were the nation’s murder capitals in 2022. They're just two of the local governments in America’s homicide hot-spots that continue to falter in their role as protectors of public safety more than two years removed from George Floyd’s murder and the covid pandemic. Chicago...

wirepoints.org

San Francisco is, among the 75 largest cities, the 18th most safe (6.9 per 100k), right after Austin TX (6.8 per 100k).
One decimal difference.

What's your guess for the city with the highest homicide rate? Chicago?
No, New Orleans (74.3 per 100k).
Chicago is the 13th highest (27.7 per 100k).

So San Francisco and Austin are less than 1/10 of New Orleans, and a bit less than 1/4 of Chicago.

I'm sorry, your data does not fit the narrative. Ohio is up there too.

What's your guess for the city with the highest homicide rate? Chicago?
No, New Orleans (74.3 per 100k).
Chicago is the 13th highest (27.7 per 100k).

I'd imagine that St. Louis is up there, like somewhere in the top 5 or at least in the top 10. It typically always is.

 

[Southpasfan]

Exhibit A as to why I don't really think Twitter is, really, some sort of improvement on human discourse.

"Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately." A 140 character limit means you get statements like this, which, since "horrific" and "often" and "immediately" are not defined, is basically meaningless.

Exhibit B as to why I am on this particular board, as a Tesla product owner, shareholder, and all around fan, is that I would bet a large amount of money that Elon does not have any idea if : "Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately."

To the extent he has any knowledge about that at all, its less than Norbert does, since Norbert took a minute to look it up, and I am very confident Elon didn't. Yet millions read Elon's response and like five of us read Norbert's.

Exhibit C is why in the F we need a platform for millions of people to sprout opinions - as someone said, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. Its even worse that popularity on Twitter is unrelated to underlying research. It is, for me, absolutely, no question, the last thing humanity needs - more opinions. We already now have billions too many.

Elon, of course, disagreed to the tune of $44Billion. That is some disagreement but there you have it.

 

[Norbert]

I'm sorry, your data does not fit the narrative. Ohio is up there too.

Cleveland OH is the 6th highest (45.7 per 100k).
Ohio is the only state that has 3 cities in the highest 20.

I'd imagine that St. Louis is up there, like somewhere in the top 5 or at least in the top 10. It typically always is.

Yup, St. Louis is 2nd highest (68.2 per 100k).

 

[advocate8]

Proof positive on the hate fest and lying on Tesla & Musk in this thread.

Tesla did not receive any govt money that was not given or available to other manufacturers or employers.

That’s some bunch of caveats. I mean, either Tesla took state money or it didn’t.

And “hate fest and lying on this thread.”…
Would you consider using a more civil tone?

NPR's response:

https://www.npr.org/2023/04/05/1168158549/twitter-npr-state-affiliated-media

NPR operates independently of the U.S. government. And while federal money is important to the overall public media system, NPR gets less than 1% of its annual budget, on average, from federal sources.

NPR's response:

https://www.npr.org/2023/04/05/1168158549/twitter-npr-state-affiliated-media

And ultimately, who cares what it is tagged. Just another kid like move. But I assume they also changed the tweet propagation of npr posts?

It kind of sounds like propagation is zero with that tag. Or zero amplification if that is different. Not really sure.

Musk expands feud with media by labeling NPR Twitter account “state-affiliated”

Twitter changes policy to exclude NPR but hasn't fully scrubbed the old language.

arstechnica.com

Twitter's "state-affiliated media" tag has an impact on how many people see an account's tweets. "In the case of state-affiliated media entities, Twitter will not recommend or amplify accounts or their Tweets with these labels to people," the company policy says.

 

[TSLY]

LAT, WaPo, NYT stands to lose BIG if Twitter is widely successful.

IF if ands and buts were candy and nuts, everyday would be Christmas.

 

[Just a Reader]

I suppose that other media should mark any links to Twitter as "platform affiliated to emotionally unstable billionaire"?
I wonder, has Musk seen any of the recent school-shootings as a reason to demand severly restricted private gun ownership?

He really hates the state that helped Tesla get off the ground.

No clue why it's more amplified, but I wonder if the concern/raised media coverage is due to more random people (non-gang related) getting attacked/killed/robbed/videoed in SF or bay area vs. other metro areas? I saw a report as well that SF actually has one of the lower homicide rates in the nation, but there is a narrative that it's a dangerous place recently. Them recalling their DA didn't help and it did seem like thieves are regularly let go (possibly not true, but seemed like it was) leading to seemingly endless smash and grabs/catch and release there.

The significant reduction of foot traffic, increase in number of people living on the streets and increase of smash and grab since the pandemic have definitely changed the feel of most neighborhoods in SF from 2014-2018.

If you weren't sure already, this news guarantees Twitter remains the place to be for all realtime news:

If you want to complain, I suggest you do so via Twitter like the rest of the cheapskates.

 

[Crutonius]

Elon has been running Twitter for roughly 6 months now. They still haven't sorted out the badging?

Or, maybe it means that Tesla and other car makers can be considered state affiliated vehicles.

Has the Great Elon commented on the invasion of privacy from his Co. Yet?

Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customer cars

Between 2019 and 2022, groups of Tesla employees privately shared via an internal messaging system sometimes highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers’ car cameras.

www.reuters.com

Let’s start seeing Elon for what he is….. everything anti American Values or Values we strive for.

He’s not for Freedom of Speech, equality or accountability……

But he is a Master of finding peoples feels and gaining support based off that..

If he was eligible to run for President he would and would win just based off feels…

 

[Crutonius]

So basically what I assume that happens whenever Best Buy fixes a laptop is happening at Tesla.

Time to tape those cameras I guess.
