Elon Musk's atoms are poorly arranged for maximizing utility to the human race and would be better served if they were rearranged into fertilizer for feedcrops. At present they are just in a cloud of un-thought. Utilitarianism must be respected.

How do you speak our language?

Simple. I have access to an oscillation overthruster and a Ford pickup.

Is he calling people small now to compensate for his fat ass looking like Doctor Robotnik?

Did that link got X-ed away already? It says "Something went wrong. Try reloading." on my end.

[–] Amya@feddit.rocks 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe it's a mistake from my part? This is the first time I use this site or comment

I just pasted the Twitter link, it's working when I click it, but maybe I should convert it to display on nitter here in feddit??

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 1 points 6 days ago

Ah then it's probably because I'm not logged in, that I'm unable to see it.

[–] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Thankgod we're already working hard on that...

[–] Tekktical@lemmy.wtf 1 points 6 days ago

There is! Sort of, in the making. World Mobile is a service that is in the works of getting a decentralised network out to provide internet in rural areas, and 3rd world countries. Really fun project to follow.

When the war was turning in Ukraine's favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 169 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.

He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 76 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He's a Nazi coward even when it's just talking...

Don't let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.

Also a reminder that everyone who is not a Musk sheep should leave Twitter.

Oligarchs used to act the part, and have the appearance of being "classy".

Now Oligarchs are just a bunch of 4chan users.

Wtf is: "Be quiet, small man"

That's not an elegant way of speaking.

These people are supposed to be "upper class"?

🤣

If America was a real country this guy would've immediately been removed from any and all companies he runs.

Does SpaceX not have a board?

Is this exchange real? Surely this can't be, right?

Musk has completely lost touch with reality at this point and thinks he's god.

Calling someone else a small man really shows what kind of man he is

Disgusting. Why the FUCK would you talk to our allies this way? The guy is a polish government official.. (I mean obviously I know why, Elon is a megalomaniac).

"Small man"??? WTF. I hate it.

More competition will ensure the oligarchs to behave.

I don't trust the EU tech owners, but I recognize that they are at an disadvantage to the US counterpart (and nationalism is a useful tool to sell their product) so they won't be making overt moves to dismantle European democracy.

That's weird: Musk and Trump are doing exactly what one would if they were Russian assets, bent on destroying western alliances... You don't have to believe all the evidence that they are... Just imagine that these 2 billionaires are compromised. What would they do at this exact moment in history...?

I can't fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!

There's so many places where strategically important resources have been delegated wholesale to the US. Now, concerning mankind, it's theoretically better, of course, to not overdo it with wasteful redundancies. But, unfortunately, we're not talking about some kind of UN-controlled infrastructure, which is maintained and used internationally. Unfortunately, it's controlled by people like this, and that is now coming home to roost.
