I swear the God. It feels like Musk gets in a room to concoct how they can make their company shittier.
“Elon, how about if we make the app more appealing to a wider audience by moderating hate content?”
“No, but what about if we get rid of the reason why it’s valuable, we rename it to a shitty name, we allow more hate and then we demand people to provide IDs?”
“Umm, sure…”
I want to do the same. I want to start becoming less and less dependent on these large corporations. I don’t use social media but i still need to use the cloud. I am still stuck with gmail.
The only thing more pathetic than Musk are his fans that would defend him no matter what idiotic thing he says or does.
The fact that they’re bringing this back in a month other than April is pathetic. I don’t know what species is worse. You don’t see them trying to fuck each other over for a goddamn percentage.
Rich people are so disconnected from reality. I mean, when I tell you disconnected people really don’t understand. The best way to put it is ths: we have a hard time intuitively understanding the vast distances in the universe. Musk is like that. He is a person with such level of disconnect. He truly lives in his own reality, most likely because a man like him does not understand the concept of poverty or struggling to make ends meet. The narcissism displayed in that interview in which he says that “if speaking his mind means losing money then so be it” should tell you how this man truly lives in an alternative reality. I am so glad most of us realized the kind of scum he is.
I think this is why net neutrality is so important. Back in the days the electromagnetic spectrum was not as heavily regulated as it is now. Technically anyone with the technical know how could set up a broadcasting station. Then CBS, ABC, NBC all got together and did exactly what these companies are doing. They banded together to make it harder for the average person to get access to technology. This is their primariy goal. To give their companies priority at the network level (seconds matter) and also, most likely what they want is to 1. Find ways for their content to be regulated differently and be sold as network packages 2. Probably allow their content to be delivered through means that require people pay THEIR ISPs. Now, i will be honest. I have not read the article but i knlw this has been the intended goal for many years.
