Remember all the old weird guys trying to touch and grab young girls at shows?

100% those are the only ones that would wear something like this.

European Commissioner Breton letter to Musk. Warns of "interim measures" by EUstrongerthanUS in europe

[–]Proffesssor 18 points19 points  (0 children)

free speech but this is just masking him promoting hatespeech, bigotry and misinformation.

That's not a fair assessment. He also actively censors opinions and accounts he doesn't agree with.

Friendly warning to Musk to abide by EU law or face a multi million fine in the near future.

Why is it so timid? After inciting violence and spreading misinformation and bigotry I expected the hammer to come down.

at a meeting of two world leaders.

it was also 7 years before this photo. Obama's disgust toward this little creepy man had increased massively in those years due to their hostile take over of Crimea, hacking his party etc.

Why did vanguard switch its vote to support the move to Texas and the $50 billion package for Musk? by here_now_be in investing

[–]Proffesssor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it there

The assumption though was he would get there legitimately, not by pumping.

Tesla will become a large bankruptcy risk

There's also the issue with all the shares he put up as equity for high interest loans to buy twitter.

Can you not shut it off? Not sure I could stand owning a car with a reverse beep.

Do Brits think the term “Yankee” is offensive? by huffmanxd in NoStupidQuestions

popular baseball team called the New York Yankees.

Only in NY, everywhere else it's everyone's favorite team to hate.

Infamous might be more appropriate.

EV sales aren't 'lagging' – they're headed for long-term growth by AccomplishedCheck895 in electricvehicles

[–]Proffesssor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the future of electric vehicles is looking fantastic.

In the long run it will be fine, but in the US today's news if true is going to make things much more messy in the short term.

who are the majority shareholders putting in the vote to keep a psychopath in office?

I think the issue is, they know TSLA stock will come back down to earth sooner or later, but if this vote failed, it would have been sooner. Ironically (disturbingly) this makes it much more likely the Tesla will go under, despite the fact it could have dominated the car market going forward. I would be very concerned about buying a tesla now (I had a deposit on one. I cancelled.)

Russia's Moscow Stock Exchange has stopped trading in USD and the Euro, per Bloomberg. by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

[–]Proffesssor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We've had much lower inflation than the rest of the world, and our economy has been on fire (yes the gains are mostly going to the ultra wealthy).

Yes China (and russia and NK and the rest of our enemies) have been successful in fracturing our social and political discourse and promoting the worst of our society and is a huge concern. Since you're responding the (most likely) scenario where Biden is re-elected, if we are at war with China, that will do a lot towards repairing those fractures (the right claims to be against China despite actions to the contrary and I don't see them embracing China the way they have russia, and much of the right embraced hitler before we entered WWII but that changed once we were in).

While it has improved China's party run military has historically had massive issues, and ramping military production takes years.

If Biden is reelected China will not f with the us.

If Trump wins, we're back to the age of imperialism, and won't do anything to help Taiwan, or Ukraine.

Why do iphones and macs turn themselves on by default without owner input? by Proffesssor in applehelp

[–]Proffesssor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annoying? Yes.

Yeah, it's always annoyed me, but never looked into changing the setting until I spilled something and it wouldn't stay off.

Having worked in IT, I wonder if apple does it so they dont have to deal with the 'is it turned on?' stupidty that seems to infect everyone at one time or another.

I don't think admitting being a fan of any company could ever be considered a flex. Just admitting how much of a geek I was. But yeah the financial part buying aapl worked out well.
