Imagine Magoos if Jack Dorsey was campaigning for Obama or Biden back when he owned Twitter... They would be absolutely losing their shit. Fox news would be running stories 24/7 about it and biased media influence...
They piss me off to no end. Hypocrite, thy name is MAGA.
"The last thing I would do is trust a computer program," says the owner of a car company developing self driving & rocket company building automation into rocket launches.
Well, actually that's correct, which is why there are various approaches to make it possible to trust an output of a computer program, verify it against that of other such computer programs, and so on.
But in my opinion the whole idea of voting sucks. It's less democratic than sortition. With sortition minority positions are disadvantaged, but with most systems involving vote they are absolutely trumped (pun intended, though saying "harrised" would not be as far as I'd like).
Republics which used sortition have historically existed for very long spans of time. In Antiquity, in Middle Ages, during Renaissance. It's harder to cheat with. Which also means it's harder to sow distrust in.
And, well, humans are superstitious creatures and results of sortition are much more similar to how they see divine will.
Sortition is also more honest, it doesn't abuse the human instinct of allowing politicians more than their rightful mandate when elected by a majority vote. When the reason a person holds some position is because a of a lucky die, the society looks at them more critically and they themselves know they won't enter that river for a second time.
not to mention brain chips. Remember, every accusation is a confession with the MAGA crowd. I bet we'd find a few gems in the code for tesla and twitter now
Software that killed a pedestrian recently.
Sounds like dominion should sue musk too
“The last thing I would do is trust a computer program”
What a weird thing to say from someone that sells a car he says will eventually drive itself.
Friendly reminder that an Immigrant African American Welfare Queen, with numerous baby mommas and children he don’t even talk to, is a foreign actor attempting to sway American Elections by spreading fake news. Truly the enemy within that needs to be addressed, there is a reason he travels with as many as 20 bodyguards just to touch grass Source.
“The probability that a homicidal maniac will try to kill you is proportionate to how many homicidal maniacs hear your name,” he said. “So they hear my name a lot — I’m like, ‘OK, I’m on the list,’ you know.”
this makes it sound like high profile assassinations are caused by a bunch of “maniacs” pulling names out of hats
Considering the first attempt on Trump's life, and I hate to admit it, but he's not that far off. I can't tell you how large of a quantity it is, but trump sure riled up a bunch of mentally ill people who may or may not have a good grasp of their mental stability.
If the assassins weren't deranged, they would choose their targets better. If you want to effect political change through assassination, you don't target the puppet. You target the person controlling the puppet.
You're describing professional hits like governments do. Our shootings in this country are 99.9% by crazy lone gunmen.
Didn't Dominion already win at least one defamation lawsuit because some jackass was spewing these lies? Gonna love seeing Elmo have to pay up, just a shame it won't cost him enough to make him shut the fuck up.
Fox News settled for $787 million.
I would love to see Musk go down like that.
He could, sadly, do that a few dozen times and still be ok.
We need to eat the rich.
Cost Tucker Carlson his job.
that's ok, he works for putin now
I don't know, if they manage to get a judgment against him for a couple billion dollars, that's like 10% of his worth after he tanked Twitter.
Yeah but at that value its still going to hurt.
Especially if he keeps doing it.
Ohh please let this be actionable a la Fox News
Bankrupt his ass
It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.
It should be fully legal to kill billionaires
At some point of extreme wealth, you get declared a dragon and it should be perfectly fine to organize adventuring parties to attempt to slay you.
Okay but if I fond a magic ring that turns me invisible im fucking keeping it, its mines mines precious!
Ah . . maybe I'd better hold onto that . . .
I saw a comment a while ago where someone calculated the equivalent wealth of fictional dragons (e.g. by estimating the dimensions of Smaug's vast gold trove in The Hobbit) and determined that real billionaires are far worse hoarders of money. Like 1000x worse.
I should try to find that comment again.
Sue him for 99.5% of his net worth that should shut this cunt up
101%
He'll just pull himself up by the boot straps and billionaire work ethic
102%
Why would they want all his debt?
They wouldn't get the debt. He'd keep that.
However, I don't know why he should left with any assets to balance the debt. Organizations that loaned him money or products should suffer too.
My man loves a lawsuit. Can't climax without one.
Be me
A moth, chilling with my moth friends
