Have to admit, Musk does come back with some clever replies:Dustin Moskovitz, the Facebook cofounder who later went on to start Asana, claimed in a Threads post on Wednesday that the EV maker has misled consumers "on a massive scale," accusing Tesla of lying about its Full-Self Driving software and the vehicle's ranges.
Spokespeople for Tesla and Asana did not respond to a request for comment.
Not this time though, obviously.Tesla CEO Elon Musk did not directly address Moskovitz's allegations but instead, on Friday, hurled insults and a slur at the Facebook cofounder on X.
Musk then followed up with another post: "I'd like to apologize to Dustin Moskovitz for calling him a 'retard'. That was wrong. What I meant to say is that he is a pompous idiot whose his head is so far up his own ass that he is legally blind. I wish him the best and hope that someday we can be friends."
Probably.He really pissed all over it, didn't he?
The latter. He's like a petulant and vindictive child.Probably.
Or are you talking metaphorically?
I'll put this here because the piece is about tech billionaires who are Musk-adjacent. Indeed, according to the article, Musk appears to be a fan of the primary figure the article features, Balaji Srinivasan who is advocating for San Fansisco to be 'ethnically cleansed'. At the end of the day what he seems to be advocating is a kind if tech neo-fascisim and he is taken seriously by similarly wealthy peers:
The Tech Baron Seeking to Purge San Francisco of “Blues”
If Balaji Srinivasan is any guide, then the Silicon Valley plutocrats are definitely not OK.newrepublic.com
Android slang for 'brutally annihilate the hubristic flesh-bag'...fill the gap
An entertaining and telling thread:
And the replies are a perfect illustration of why what he wrote is correct
God he’s peak insufferable reckless tech bro isn’t he. To be honest I can't even begin to work out Silicon Valley, as soon as I try and grasp something to hold onto, I get conflicting thoughts. I know this type though - they simply believe that mankind should be propelled forward cosntantly by tech, and they are probably right - kind of feudual lords of Neoliberalism. I don't think people sometimes realise how important these folk are to the way we live now, compared to say 30 years ago, and that our futures are mainly in these types hands. We are right in the middle of the tech revolution and it will i think dwarf the industrial revolution. At least that had a clearish scope in which mankind could kind of settle around and work out and contextualise - tech however is constantly changing, as soon as its one thing, its another almost immediately. he sounds a right cunt though, tbh.Srinivasan ideas read like a 15-year-old's bad Ayn Rand dystopia on Fanfiction.net, and like all Libertarians, he forgets about all the people in service industries.
Of course they do. Rees-Mogg was recently seen riding in a horseless carriage.do our politicians even understand the tech revolution?
Mogg: do you like my carriage.Of course they do. Rees-Mogg was recently seen riding in a horseless carriage.

Tesla Rewards Dedicated Worker Who Showered at Factory and Slept in His Car by Firing Him

One well-established consequence of higher levels of inequality and social domination in society is that individuals in subordinate classes are more likely (rather than less likely) to valorise the individuals and values of the dominant class. There’s a complex mix of reasons for this, including (but not limited to) who gets to set the hegemonic moral framework, the troubled identity of poverty and the ability of the dominant class to mythologise the idea of social mobility, thus undermining class solidarity. So, unfortunately, it isn’t actually surprising at all that the highly downtrodden of the US are less likely to object to the system than the less downtrodden of France. You might even say that the lack of objection is part of the very process that reproduces the inequality.From what I've heard about how toxic and demanding workplace culture can be in the US, I seriously don't understand why anyone over there puts in any more effort than what is contractually laid out. In countries like Japan or France I can at least understand why someone would go the extra mile, since they've generally got better job security over there. But if you kiss your boss's ass in the US, all you end up doing is degrading yourself before being let go.

Japan has lower inequality than the average OECD country, and much lower perceptions regarding the importance of parental status than average.I'm not sure that's the whole story. Japan is quite a stratified/hierarchical (right word?) society and workers over there don't seem quite as militant as those in France, hence why I mentioned it as an example.
Yes, having worked for a huge Japanese company it’s a very paternalistic relationship, with working for one form of the company for your entire career still very likely, and company social events eg picnics and supporting sports teams taking up a lot of life outside the office too.At least traditionally (I think it's changing a bit now) Japanese people's relationship with work & employers is so different from what we're used to in Europe, it probably doesn't serve very well for any kind of comparison.
