I only know one Billy O'Naire, he is kind of a twat.

No idea why people keep buying cars from this guy. Fuck this moron.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 77 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I'm in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. It's amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily there's a ton of ~~competition~~ cheaters now

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago

A conservative was talking at me a few weeks ago about how much he loved how Musk was pissing off the libs and about how he's a shrewd businessman. I asked if he would buy a Tesla and he said never. He didn't have a response when I told him Musk doesn't sound like a good businessman.

What is at the top of your list? I'm leaning towards the Ford Mach E with awd but have only looked deeply at half of what is available. Tesla is at the bottom of my list also

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 16 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Mach e is up there. Currently number one spot is the Hyundai ioniq 6, it looks like a direct competitor to the model 3. Nissan leaf and I think Honda are in the running too. Idk gotta start test driving to really know. I'll still test drive a model 3, but from what I hear and see I probably won't go for it

[–] ophy@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Ioniqs are absolutely sexy vehicles, they're at the top of my list too!

[–] OccasionallyFeralya@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah Hyundai in general recently has knocked it out of the park with their design language and the ioniqs are some of the best in their lineup

I’ve had my Mach-E GT for two years now and it’s been very reliable and very comfortable. There were a couple of small hiccups early on, but I can’t see going back to non-electric cars. Would definitely buy it again!

[–] CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My parents got a 2021 Mach E and they love it. I've driven it a few times. I'm eyeing one for my next car too, though I've also been interested in Hyundai's offerings. I've never wanted a Hyundai in my life but their new EV lineup looks pretty compelling.

Did you see they are cutting cost by removing all right-side driver cars from production and still selling in those markets with an included reaching arm for things like badging in? Hilarious.

It's not cheating to hire the workers you unceremoniously fired to save money asshole. It's called capitalism.

Then again, every super wealthy capitalist doesn't actually want capitalism. They want feudalism, where nobody else is allowed to compete with them and if someone makes them angry they can banish them from society without trial.

[–] float@feddit.de 18 points 2 years ago

Usually they don't allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it's basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don't just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.

β€œCompetition is fine” says the guy that was born into wealth and was given a huge leg up in life. Although, I really hope they duke it out in court with Meta just so they burn through piles of money needlessly.

[–] Stan@lemmywinks.com 3 points 2 years ago

I’m thinking their lawyers are already on retainer and being paid anyway? The money they waste will be taxpayers funding the court system.

Welfare queen, that relies on government subsidies to run his business, accuses other billionaires of cheating in the market. Hilarious

[–] tourist@community.destinovate.com 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As if there's any secret to Twitter that any person couldn't figure out, we're talking about 280 character messages. I hope they both just cancel each other out.

I'm sure Meta's lawyers are shaking in their boots lol

[–] cultsuperstar@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, didn't he buy his way into Tesla and then forced out the previous CEO or something?

[–] tracyspcy@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah read the same stuff, it is his way to become innovator :)

[–] madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 years ago

What part of it is supposed to be cheating?

What is the context of his tweet?

[–] interolivary 46 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter's a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.

[–] jdeath@lemm.ee 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

can we not drag elmo's good name through the mud? i understand it is to dunk on elon but elmo is a wonderful character from my childhood and my four year old daughter loves him also. i just don’t think it is fair to elmo

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought the same when people described those 2 jabronis that fucked up the end of Game of Thrones as D&D. Like come on, fam. D&D is way cooler than those 2.

Give Wizards of the Coast enough time, and it wont be.

[–] redditmigrant@infosec.pub 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

In the letter sent to the Zuck by his lawyers it's stated that ex-Twitter engineers still have access to Twitter trade secrets, which doesn't make much sense for people that haven't worked there for months. This means that either he is basically lying or Twitter is not able to secure itself because they probably have also fired the people in charge to do so

Why is the ape accusing the robot of cheating?

[–] justdoit@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Personally I support referring to all social media corporations as cheaters, what’s the problem here?

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

It's more like a loophole since it's unfortunately not illegal. The game is just very unbalanced.

You have to be a huge piece of shit to get people rooting for the reptile that is Mark Zuckerberg.
