The Twit show Musk go on

Head of Tesla commercial / trucks said that Tesla will also be introducing delivery vans and 3T equivalents a month or so ago.

I wonder if the Robovan is one of them.

Autocorrect or actually Telstra?

Optimus has come a long way since people dressed up in costumes a few years ago when Tesla announced it.

That’s nothing, you should see how many times Star Citizen devs have said server meshing is coming.

When you are trying something new it can take a while.

I’ll put on the tin foil hat for a moment and pose this theory…

The new X/Twitter block function, where those you have blocked can still read your posts, is due to be rolled out in the coming days.

Musk knows this violates the Apple and Google Play store rules.

Do you think he is doing it on purpose, to have X removed, so he can scream censorship, blame the Dems and rile up the MAGAs right on election time??

Think it’s more likely he believes they won’t do anything about it

I also don’t think they’ll do anything

Block function is incredibly computationally expensive. It means that Twitter needs to check a list of who all of the users in the world have blocked to see if you are allowed to view their content. By scaling that back to messaging, it reducing the check to only are you allowed to contact that individual user.

This is change is driven by users increasingly using the block function on bot accounts. That has increased the cost to Twitter of running the block function.

So ignore the claim that this is due to users being unable to see harassment performed by other accounts who have initiated a block. Twitter doesn’t care about harassment any more. Their bans have dropped by over 99% and hate speech is rampant. This is purely being done as a cost cutting exercise under the guise of protecting users. It’s against the will of almost every user.

I hadn’t considered that angle. Makes sense though.

Google the term “Tesla Musk bumper sticker”. There’s a whole industry for people regretting their brand association with that lunatic.

Henry Ford was a racist who also pronounced the Jews as evil. Didn’t seem to affect his car sales and development.

Henry Ford also wasn’t clowning himself on social media to billions of people on a regular basis
