He didn’t fall, he did all the stuff Republicans really wanted to do but knew they’d be punished for electorally. If they push him out before the midterms and blame him for everything, they could limit the electoral damage by escaping responsibility. He’d be happy to take on the role of scape goat.

If they ever fixed it, I’m sure Musk fired whomever is keeping score now. He’s going to launch the robotaxi stuff soon and it’s going to kill a bunch of people.

Yep, that one was purely about hitting a certain KPI of ‘miles driven on autopilot without incident’. If it turns off before the accident, technically the driver was in control and to blame, so it won’t show up in the stats and probably also won’t be investigated by the NTSB.

Whatever it is, it’s unacceptable and they should really ban Tesla’s implementation until they fix some fundamental issues.

4. Self-driving turns itself off seconds before a crash, giving the driver an impossibly short timespan to rectify the situation.

And to me it appears like this has nothing to do with social security fraud, unless he’s getting 400k checks every month. That’s your run of the mill identity theft case.

The US hasn’t properly declared war since 1942, despite being at war pretty much constantly since. If Trump decides to open the gates at Thule airbase and little green men take over Greenland, who’s going to do anything about it (domestically or abroad)?

Yeah, I was actually wondering if it’s still necessary if every toothpaste already has fluoride in it. It’s probably still better to keep adding it just in case, since there’s no real downside to doing it. But I guess we’ll see in a generation what the long term effect is.

If Trump is smart, he’ll let Musk do all the unpopular project 2025 stuff, then throw him in prison at the end and escape the blame personally. This way he gets to keep popularity with his base while telling his donors they got everything they asked for. It’s what all dictators do, really.

They’re not going to use Java, it’s going to be typescript.

Yeah, there’s almost 100 years of law, case law and agency regulations built into how this software works. And they fired all the people that knew anything about it.

Yeah, this is going to end in disaster.

I mean, in a Trump administration that’s basically a given. We saw that during the pandemic.

I guess even r/whitepeopletwitter wasn’t white enough for Musk.

Finally someone’s doing something about the cost of living crisis.

The random number they generated is 53.

Yeah, I’m sure we’ll find out which other Jeffrey in his contacts was actually supposed to be in the chat.

IIRC, there’s no actual punishment and those laws were basically designed to give Congress a way to impeach.

I’ll log in and just block /u/spez on all his posts.

Definitely showing her whole anti war schtick was always bullshit. JD Vance was the only one pushing back in that thread, and not for the right reasons.
