A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hey folks -

The seemingly never-ending flood of Musk/Twitter news and commentary is getting to some of our users (and some of the mods, too), so we've decided to create a general Megathread for all things related to Elon Musk and X/Twitter.

This thread will be a general Musk catch-all, so we're including news about Musk acting the fool as related to any of his companies (SpaceX, Tesla, Boring). News about those companies that don't involve Elon can be posted outside this thread.

So the squeaky wheel gets the oil it sounds like. I see a bunch of people in this thread saying it’s a terrible idea. What’s the bar for action?

This, there are more upvotes complaining about the megathred being bad than upvotes supporting it. Either people for it don't care enough to interact or have just ignored the entire thread.

This is a stifling thread, there will be nothing Elon related posted here (and hasn't been yet, everything is about megathred) if there is it will not be read. As of my posting the next newest post I see is 17 hours ago. This thread is effectively dead.
