Tesla Learns Hard Lesson: Go Anti-Woke, Go Broke - Jalopnik

Things are not going well at Tesla right now. The stock is down more than $100 per share year-to-date, as many as 20,000 people are set to lose their jobs, the Cybertruck keeps breaking, operating profit is expected to be down 40 percent when it’s announced later today and the $25,000 electric...

Just came here to say Elon has really ruined twitter. I didn't see a massive difference when he first took over but it is sooo much worse now. Would not be surprised if it dies in the not too distant future.

Jack Dorsey Leaves BlueSky Board and Calls X ‘Freedom Technology’

The Twitter founder’s moves suggest an apparent warming of relations between him and Elon Musk.

Dorsey whittled down the list of people he follows on X to just three: Musk, Edward Snowden and Stella Assange, wife of the imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher. It suggested an apparent warming of relations between X’s owner and Dorsey, who had posted on Bluesky a year ago that “it all went south” after Musk’s takeover and radical transformation of Twitter.

Why Jack Dorsey quit Bluesky board: It was ‘literally repeating all the mistakes’ Twitter made

The 47-year-old tech mogul had envisioned that Twitter could be an open-source software that wasn’t controlled by any single person or entity.

Over at Bluesky, “little by little, they [the board] started asking Jay [Graber, the CEO] and the team for moderation tools, and to kick people off. And unfortunately they followed through with it,” Dorsey told Pirate Wires.

“That was the second moment I thought, uh, nope,” Dorsey added. “This is literally repeating all the mistakes we [Twitter] made as a company. This is not a protocol that’s truly decentralized. It’s another app. It’s another app that’s just kind of following in Twitter’s footsteps, but for a different part of the population.”

The way I understand it he sued GARM because they were pushing liberal outlets and no conservative ones. Apparently, the group folded and shut down if I understood the situation correctly. They had the goods on them that they targeted conservative outlets to push advertisers away from them because of their own bias and not because any actual reason in many cases.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable that advertisers don’t want their stuff next to nonsense from idiots proclaiming the superiority of the white race.

That’s not at all what the law suit is about. It’s against GARM and the claim is they were anticonservative and pushing advertising away from conservative platforms because of their own bias. The claim is they were frauds and dishonest. Youre right a company can do whatever they want with their dollars, but apparently the gold standard guiding organization was anything but honest.

“Your honor, I would like to play a clip”

My dude that is exactly what the lawsuit is about.

Can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to advertise here

Ok you bet.

Ok you bet.

GARM is already dissolved.

No matter how you slice it this is him pitching a fit over the fact that people with a serious interest in not being associated with the kind of stuff he’s peddling don’t want their brand associated with him.

GARM dissolved after the lawsuit was filed. They don’t have to associate with him, but GARM was a trash organization.
