America’s Dumbest Billionaires Fail to Stop Zohran Mamdani. “…a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Twitter…” [prospect.org]

My take away from this piece: #Musk is indeed not the richest person in the world, and that there's a good chance, that all the shit falls to pieces AND explains so much of the shilling and things happening around the US government

So, the current owner of Twitter now completely unhinged his world view by his profile / name change… What makes you still cross post your stuff over there? How desperate for attention are you?

Not truly autonomous.
Need human assistance.
Less safe than well-trained human drivers.
Not secure because ... hackable remote access.
