It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It really does take a genius and visionary to sit back and say "Hey, guys, let's make this, but with as small an error as I can imagine. Don't like, assess how precise stuff needs to be or consider any of that. Just make it all like really, unreasonably well, okay?"

I'm sure the engineers are blown away by that big mind, what a privilege. It reads like an excuse to blame the engineers when the truck inevitably sucks because they didn't follow his perfect design.

Yeah I hate those fake appeals to "genius". To the extent that someone like Musk provides "guidance" at all, it is to merely hop on his email and say some Captain Obvious shit to thousands of people who are too busy doing real work to read that shit.

Bourgeois apologists always deny the theft of surplus values from the workers and insist that profit is merely the boss's "wages" for his "unique labor" of "training, guidance, and planning".

But most of the actual training, guidance, and planning is not done by the actual owners, but by managers, who are employees that are paid a high salary, but are not usually board members or share holders or other bourgeoisie who live primarily off of surplus value.

He's known for flipping the fuck out on anyone at anytime for any reason. I worked with a number of people who came from Tesla and they had endless horror stories about him. Basically you just pray never to run into him and if you do, try your best not to get noticed or you might end up losing your job that day just because he likes to instill fear and make himself feel big by firing people for any or no real reason.
