    Richest guy in the world casually responding (and agreeing) with a neo Nazi that Jews are the source of anti-semitism. It's weird and disturbing how mainstream white nationalism has become.

    • and the ADL thinks Musk posting a video (condemning the video) of 30,000 black people chanting 'kill the white farmer' is racist against black people.hotroddy

    Tesla is reportedly under investigation by the DOJ and SEC over its mysterious 'Project 42'

    The SEC is also investigating whether the project involved using company funds for CEO Elon Musk's personal benefit, the Journal said.

    Tesla's board had also inquired into Musk's involvement in the project, and the amount of time any employees had spent on it, according to the Journal's July report.

    It can be illegal to use company funds for personal expenses — especially when dealing with a publicly traded company. If a public company were found to have used company funds for an executive's personal use it could lead to an IRS investigation and lawsuits from shareholders.

    It's not clear if the building project is still in the works, or whether the glass order was ever delivered, the Journal reported on Wednesday.

    Yes, Elon Musk created a special system for showing you all his tweets first

    / After his Super Bowl tweet did worse numbers than President Biden’s, Twitter’s CEO ordered major changes to the algorithm.

    At 2:36 on Monday morning, James Musk sent an urgent message to Twitter engineers.

    “We are debugging an issue with engagement across the platform,” wrote Musk, a cousin of the Twitter CEO, tagging “@here” in Slack to ensure that anyone online would see it. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem. This is high urgency. If you are willing to help out please thumbs up this post.”

    When bleary-eyed engineers began to log on to their laptops, the nature of the emergency became clear: Elon Musk’s tweet about the Super Bowl got less engagement than President Joe Biden’s.

    Biden’s tweet, in which he said he would be supporting his wife in rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, generated nearly 29 million impressions. Musk, who also tweeted his support for the Eagles, generated a little more than 9.1 million impressions before deleting the tweet in apparent frustration.

    In the wake of those losses — the Eagles to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Musk to the president of the United States — Twitter’s CEO flew his private jet back to the Bay Area on Sunday night to demand answers from his team.

    US sues Elon Musk’s SpaceX for alleged hiring discrimination against refugees
    Justice department alleges rocket company refused to consider asylum seekers and refugees for jobs because of citizenship status

    The US justice department on Thursday filed a lawsuit against the billionaire Elon Musk’s rocket company SpaceX for alleged hiring discrimination against refugees and asylum seekers.

    SpaceX “routinely discouraged asylees and refugees from applying and refused to hire or consider them, because of their citizenship status” from at least September 2018 to May 2022, according to the justice department.

    The Big List of Elon Musk’s Hyperbole, Evasions, and Outright Lies
    The billionaire simply can't stop making shit up

    TO HIS MANY fans, Elon Musk is the future. Whether that future means self-driving cars, brain chip implants, an “everything app,” a colonized Mars, or all of the above, they believe in the billionaire’s ambitions — and, crucially, his ability to bring them to fruition.

    But why? Musk has an uneven track record as both innovator and entrepreneur. If he maintains a reputation for high-tech triumph, it’s in part because he’s been a relentless self-promoter, announcing new projects at such a clip that headlines can never quite catch up with the failed and abandoned ideas left in his wake. By appearing restless, driven, always in pursuit of the next big thing, he adds to the impression that he’s accomplished plenty already.

    Along the way, he’s exaggerated, overpromised, skirted facts, and lied. A lot. There are lies to save face, misrepresentations to gain an advantage, and, perhaps most of all, bluster about when a scientific breakthrough will become a reality. There are also lies about stuff that doesn’t matter. (Like, at all.) Here we present a comprehensive but by no means exhaustive list of Musk’s habitual hucksterism, hyperbole, evasions, and outright fabrications.

    • I could care less about the rest of it b/c it's all fleeting, and what appears to be 'exaggerated, overpromised' today might pan out in the future, more quicklyprophetone

    • Elon reminds me more of Evangelical wanks, I think that's why he's been successful in the US because it's part of the culture to be fleeced by clownsPhanLo
    • Tx microkorg, this is all it is, this is what’s important, so what if he said this or that, even messed up, if even 25% of efforts make a long term differenceprophetone
    • Then great... but the other 75% is valuable as well because someone has now at least attempted it... but him being a big doofus is icing to scrapeprophetone
    • He is not the guy imo... the next guy is the guy... then the next guy is the guy... each one pushing it a bit furtherprophetone

    When we held up a mirror to Elon Musk’s Twitter/X he tried to sue us into silence

    it started with childish name-calling on Twitter two weeks ago, when Elon Musk called my organisation “evil” and me personally a “rat”. It has since escalated to a lawsuit filed against the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which I founded and run, in a California court last week.

    The CCDH exists to research online hate and disinformation, and hold social media companies accountable for the erosion of human rights and civil liberties. Our mission is to stem the tide of racism, antisemitism, harms to children, climate denial, anti-LGBTQ+ hate, health misinformation and many other dangers to society.

    Our reporting has shown that, under his watch, the number of tweets containing slurs has risen by up to 202%; that tweets linking LGBTQ+ people to “child grooming” have more than doubled; demonstrated that climate denial content and accounts are surging; and revealed Twitter’s failure to act on hate posted by Twitter Blue subscribers. Members of Twitter’s own trust and safety council have resigned, citing CCDH findings, and our research has been widely reported by news outlets around the world.

    How much fossil fuel does it take to charge a Tesla EV?

    It takes roughly 70 to 80 pounds of coal (or about 8 to 10 gallons of oil) to produce the energy required to charge a 66 kWh electric vehicles (EVs) battery.

    - MIT Energy Initiative

    • that is dumb.sted

    • It takes 1 gallon of oil to produce .67 gallons of gasoline so that means it’s equivalent to 5-7 gallons of gas to fill up your Tesla which is not bad?_niko
    • apples to oranges. you can't compare these things like this, its a completely different energy carrier.sted
