It’s the same thing where if Elon touches an industry you work in you can immediately recognize he’s full of shit. Old Twitter heads and Reddit users and forum goblins cannot abide him but people who reply on Facebook with 😂 are beyond our help
Reddit is so anti-Elon it’s hilarious. Every stupid thing he does and every unflattering image of his ends up to the front page with 10s of thousands of upvotes.

It's really wild when you sit down and think about it, that really, the only actual idea that demonstrably is elon musk's own, entirely, and not him buying a company to do something, is "there should be a website called X" and that has been his definitive life's work, his real driving passion

“I don’t understand what produce in the Central Valley has to do with fires in LA” this is the subject of one of the most famous movies ever made, in which it is explained to Jack Nicholson at length by the director of The Maltese Falcon

And yet, the conventional wisdom became that while the women's movement may have had some good points at first, it had gone too far and needed to be reined in.
This narrative was almost entirely created by media and political institutions controlled by men.

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens.
They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”

From a security perspective, this is how the future looks:
Gated communities (GC)
In survival-favourable locations
Defended by private military companies
Using lethal and non-lethal weapons
To secure GC inhabitants and infrastructure / resources (food, water, energy)
From climate displaced people

“Will pay any amount.”
Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.
