"What's the runway?," George Hotz asks @elonmusk on Twitter Spaces. Silence. . . . some doofus jumps in to fill silence with garbage question. Come on, dude.

lulzHe signed up for 12 weeks but sounds like he couldn't get on with the other programmers. He still fully supports Twitter 2.0 though so it wasn't for reasons beyond that I don't think

Nah, it is what it is. Still rooting for the success of Twitter 2.0!

A clash of cultures
Efficiency driven "question everything" startup culture vs corporate "this is how we've done it always, you have no idea" culture
Fantastic to see the arguments of both sides
You can read somewhere above where i wrote geohotz is not the kind of employee that can work with others.Yeah, you were bang on right
Start-up mentality is fine when your an actual start up. When you have millions of existing consumers you can't do shame without extensive impact testing and that requires working well with others.
Ive seen this same shame play out at my work. Some young gun thing he knows everything. Everything that is except the 100,000 lines of code that gets executed before/after your code that comes crashes when you change something because "its wrong". The "wrong" is called technical debt and there is always a reason it was written like that in the first place. If it was sooo easy to do it "right" it would have been done right in the first place.
Technical debt is always written because some shaming leader wants something done fast instead of done right.
Everyone confused by Elon Musk sucking up to Dmitry Medvedev’s insane thread. Have you forgotten this exchange from October? Tells you all you need to know. Explain how this has never been made a bigger deal out of? pic.twitter.com/Z04B4Kl0aW

Those are definitely the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, while also showing astonishing lack of awareness of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy.

1.) It's just a joke/it's trolling is probably the single most common excuse for any kind of terrible behavior. I've seen it an absolutely absurd number of times. I've seen so many absolutely indefensible posts, "defended" on the basis that it was a joke. Some things are not defensible.Haha ????

2.) There is a rather concerning number of Russian/Putin allies that seem to be in Elon's circle (either photographed sitting with him at the games or public discussions on Twitter).
If I saw someone responding to a Nazi's post, with "epic!", I would not care if they were genuinely joking. It would at minimum be concerning that they were so careless.
One of the world's most powerful people is humoring supporters of a dictator who has repeatedly threatened to end all life on Earth.
I really don't give half a crud if they were joking.
Under questioning, Musk denied that he picked the $420 price as a joke given its meaning to marijuana enthusiasts, but rather as a roughly 20% premium on the stock price at the time....apparently he doesn't know lying under oath can send you to jail.
"420 price was not a joke," he testified. At another point, he said: "There is some karma around 420 although I should question if that is good or bad karma at this point."

I guess we could give all Verified users access to the API for posts like this
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 3, 2023
Not got a clue about this API business but does this make things better?i think i'd state it makes things different. very different.
