Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It's crazy how a few years ago Zuck seemed like the worst tech billionaire CEO ridiculed by his users, but Musk truly managed to take this title and surpass him to become the most hated man on the internet. He needs help

Zuck is evil, but he doesn't seem to be stupid.

Elon on the other hand..

Exactly. Zuckerberg is just an immoral fuckface. Musk is malicious and incompetent.

He wrote the first iteration of Facebook in PHP. The Musk of programming languages.

Why do people have beef with PHP? It's just a programming language for crying out loud

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah PHP's parents never owned an emerald mine.

There was this brief, beautiful moment when Musk seemed respectable. He was into renewables, and electrification, and investing in space. It sounded great. And then he opened his fucking mouth and just hasn't shut it since. Once he started talking, everyone else started noticing and publishing all the terrible shit that was there all along but no one either knew or cared about until then.

Twitter killed (the image of) Elon, and now Elon is dragging Twitter to the grave with him.

At least i can respect Zuck. Hes the evil guy and hes good at it. Musk is just an idiot.

Have we already forgotten the whole Metaverse initiative? That was plenty stupid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

True but maybe he wanted an evil empire. Idk what these guys do in their free time.

Definitely agree on him needing help. His behaviour isn't normal, considering his behaviour even 5 years prior. Musk 10 years ago was probably still an idiot, but a private idiot and less of a man-child than today.

Stupid question, but is there some law in the US where someone can be detained for mental health reasons, to be evaluated to see if they pose a risk to themselves or others? Perhaps someone close to him should check that everything is fine, and if not, get him away from the half dozen companies he seems to be running into the ground.
