this will (should) make users trust it less. It is baffling how trusting some people are of someone trying to make a buck.
Bots do not get verified lol. Someone like Nate doesn't "need" a blue check. This just makes verifiable people that do not want to pay look less reliable in the long run - especially those who come onto the platform later, and are not "established". What the hell is wrong with peoples brains lol
What's going to happen here: he's going to try his best to turn a large profit, his board and the public that own shares will realize he can't do so in the long run, and will then proceed to take Twitter private at which point it will be a Parler equivalent anyway.0 -

Of course people automate tweets emails, etc etc, but it's at the direction of someone/something that can be traced lol

After reading the verification process I can see how that would be difficult to verify one. I would think it could still be done though. To me it's not worth the effort.0 -

So people are happy the decision makers are gone? And I thought it was a cesspool before, just think of what it will turn into now, lol!We should all be happy. Musk revealed himself as q.
Ironic he needs the govt and tree huggers to maintain his fortune (space x and Tesla). Once libs realize his EVs do almost nothing to save the planet, his worth will decline. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.Scio me nihil scire

Many liked Musk and bought his EVs when he was able to mask his political leanings. Now that its become obvious he's a raging Q, left leaning EV buyers may not want to be associated with his brand. To me EVs are todays snake oil fwiw.0 -

I just don't understand the blind admiration to the guy. This country just loves to look up at rich people because they themselves wish they were also rich.
The only reason this'll hurt Tesla is because he had to borrow money from Tesla to buy this fuckin company.Post edited by Jearlpam0925 on0 -

I would prefer the classic gauges right in front (speed, odemeter etc.).I really want a small electric pick up truck. I keep crossing my fingers that the Alpha Wolf+ will start getting made.0

tempo_n_groove said:Anyone been in a Tesla? The friggin car is fast and really nice. I'll say that about the car.They are very sleek and nice, but consumers are paying for that. $70k for a mid sized car? Considering they are powered by coal and nat gas, have toxic batteries with minimal oversight for safe disposal and significant geopolitical concerns regarding mining raw materials, Teslas amount to a pretty form of snake oil. First, let’s replace all coal and gas fired plants, find a safe way to produce and dispose of batteries, then we may be onto something with EVsPost edited by Lerxst1992 on0

Everyone forgets that Tesla is a step in the right direction. All these companies coming around that you want to do better is a direct cause of Tesla in the first place.0 -

I'm admittedly an asshole on this topic as I have a few classic cars that are not good on gas. Although I drove them about 3k miles per year. But still, not green.0 -

Everyone forgets that Tesla is a step in the right direction. All these companies coming around that you want to do better is a direct cause of Tesla in the first place.Looking at how many people support the gop, I have little faith. Maybe teslas are becoming a status symbol now. Musk did carve out a brand new car company in the US market, which is impressive, but looking at him now, it really looks like he is more interested in profiteering off of taking advantage of liberal fear of climate crisis.
The problem is too many vote for politicians who support coal and other fossil fuels. Climate is not even an issue for the midterms.Belief that EVs are better is obscuring the fact that we need to eliminate coal and convert oil heat to electric, and convert gas fired plants to renewables.Until all this occurs, not sure why we’d call an EV “better.” It’s misdirection - the need to change the source of the energy, not the consumer end use. Frankly, the EV industry has grown too fast considering many issues, including pollution off of disposal, something utilities need to consider at the beginning of an investment, is not being addressed by the EV industry and could quadruple costs, which will be paid for by guess who? Taxpayers of course. We believe EVs are better and it’s entirely possible they are every bit as bad as the combustible engine vehicle.0 -

I'm all for bringing Nuclear back to the front again. We should totally be building more.0
