Twitter is better

[headshuck]

Tough to say which drink experience would be worse. Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, Gates, RIP Jobs…

As cool as Wozniak seems, he’d probably make you feel pretty insignificant.

[Mike Parrish]

That'll help.

It’s not my position, it’s the evidence.  What did the twitter files reveal?

Whoopsie!

That’s not evidence, that’s what they want you and a judge to believe.  Here’s some evidence of what they say behind the scenes in a different but similar case.

Quoting a wing nut's shitty blog as 'evidence'.

Right on target for you.

Here's a link to the court filing that the twitter account mentioned.

Read it for yourself.

[Offthemat]

I read it this morning.  That’s how I knew it was just their alibi.  A court pleading, that has not been ruled on yet, and there will be one from the other side that will just as confidently argue the opposite.  What you obviously didn’t read were the texts between twitter lawyers that are provided in the link I posted.

I personally couldn't give two snits about him...he is a weirdo for sure, but most geniuses tend to be.  He definitely seems like a guy I would NOT enjoy hanging out with in a social setting...or any setting for that matter.  

In my opinion, an actual "genius" has an area of focus where they are proven to be great. Then, likely because they focus so much of their energy there - they tend to lack skills in other areas, sometimes simple areas (like Einstein forgetting to put on his socks before his shoes.)

The thing here is that Musk is no genius. Smart and weird, but not a genius by any stretch. Born and raised in Africa by a wealthy family, he was a spoiled rich kid. His success in the US is largely because he had a lot of money to invest in the ideas of geniuses and to hire even more geniuses. (Something Bill Gates has always said was the basis for his success since the 90's.)

It is strange how the media portrays all of Musk's companies' successes as somehow being his ideas and his genius - when neither is even close to being true.

Even more strange that US citizens believe it and idolize the guy from Africa who was born into money.

It's where I learned to appreciate opera as a kid.

All those Bugs Bunny cartoons with operatic scores.
