Hopefully Apple counter-threatens with Xitter ban from their devices

Lucidlethargy ,

That would actually be a figurative nail in the coffin for X. Apple idiots love X.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Me: Hates musk.

Also me: dislikes Apple.

Still me: See’s this story as Musk doing another stupid thing to kill more business on both ends.

Finally me: Yessss…this news pleases me.

PhlubbaDubba ,

So how does this man being an executive officer not immediately send a company’s stocks into the shitter at this point?

Isn’t the Tesla board made up of his buddies?

Nollij ,

The CEO is chosen by the board, which is chosen by the shareholders. The shareholders have the ultimate power, if they can unite on a goal/decision. Overwhelmingly, the only thing they can agree on is that they want to make the most money. They often can’t even agree on how to go about that.

So, the board won’t fire him because the shareholders won’t force it. The shareholders won’t force it because they want the most money, and musk as CEO seems to be the best path, or at least not a problematic one.

As for how that can be, it gets into how absurd Tesla stock is in the first place. There was a period where Tesla’s market cap (total value of all shares) was higher than the entire rest of the auto industry combined. This was despite having no feasible path towards that level of production, and even growth in general wasn’t looking too hot.

radicalautonomy ,

“Tesla shareholders are money-hungry idiots” is what I got out of that. They are like Lenny…when shit goes south, they just keep holding on tight, no matter how much worse they make things, until next thing you know Curlys’s wife is dead.

(No offense meant to those with brain damage…the poor decisions they make are understandable and not their fault, of course. And I know that phenomenon isn’t unique to Tesla shareholders.)

barsquid ,

I don’t know if this explains the entire price but we have all seen his securities fraud on Twitter.

zcd ,

There’s money to be made when you know a company is going to tank. In fact there are people who specialize in bankrupting companies. When rich people commit fraud they don’t get in trouble

Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.

Fine, I say we take every single bit of his hundreds of billions in $1 bills and bury it on top of him. I’m sure that weighs quite a bit

fartsparkles ,

0.63 Empire State Buildings. So yeah, quite a bit.

Americans will use anything but metric as a unit of measurement.

drcobaltjedi ,

I always hate seeing that, then i remember i’ve used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything

MindTraveller ,

Time is a perfectly valid unit of distance. Just look at light years. On Earth, I mostly use the unit of distance me-minutes

Interestingly, analysing distance in me-minutes reveals that spacetime is not flat, because a distant location on the train line can be much closer to me than something 5 km away but far away from public transit.

5in1k ,

Living in Michigan I show distance by pointing to spots on my hand.

drcobaltjedi ,

Yo, same. The mitten makes it easy.

fartsparkles ,

I’m European

vividspecter ,

No, no. Dig up, stupid!

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

It’ll get fun if he decides to cut Apple devices off Starlink.

treefrog ,

Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon’s employees have to go back to flip phones

Speculater ,
@Speculater@lemmy.world avatar

Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.

DSkou7 ,

And also are sharp enough to cut your hand if you hold it in the wrong way.

PunnyName ,

Ugh, enough about the cybertruck!

shutz ,

Cuts like a knife, don’t it?

Sigh

TrainsAreCool ,

The final hilarity would be Elon forcing Twitter to re-enable SMS based tweets, then hackers using it to fake tweets from Elon himself.

drcobaltjedi ,

Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.

9tr6gyp3 ,

Honestly, this is a good take, SatansMaggotyCumFart.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Sorry about that.

Num10ck ,

yay for net neutrality laws

Do people just use the Starlink router without their own firewall behind it?

Never in my life have I ever used the AP/switch function of the supplied router. That fucking thing can live outside my network, I don’t trust an ISP to wipe their ass after shitting, let alone keep a router updated.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Apparently they’re just plug and play wifi, you have to pay for an adapter to connect Ethernet to it.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Yah, i had to get the Ethernet dongle before I’d use it.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

When I heard about that I thought it was pretty condescending.

Like give me an Ethernet port so I can plug my shit into it without giving you more money for something that really should be included.

That’s like not putting door handles on a car.

ikidd ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

I was pretty surprised and pissed off when it showed up and I couldn’t find a way to plug in a cable.

On the other hand, it’s the best internet I’ve had out in the ass end of nowhere.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

I hear the speed is very dependent on how many people are using it nearby.
