Education hasn't been defunded. I don't know why so many people keep posting that misinformation when the opposite is true. Inflation-adjusted funding per student rose from $14,969 to $20,322 over the past two decades. K-12 fundin

Do you think your anecdote is more likely to be true than an insurance company putting its money where its mouth is? "Tesla Full Self-Driving is twice as safe, so Lemonade takes 50% off every mile driven with FSD."

1. Tesla has $40B in cash and is profitable. To say it's worth $5B is beyond absurd. 2. The market determines what is a fair value, not rando haters on the internet. Even professional Wall Street consensus is that it's fair value

He said a while ago that he was open to trying it in response to some shareholders who kept asking him to advertise.

This applies to discussion too. For instance, how many Reddit comments are bots? With the extreme groupthink present there, it wouldn't be a huge shock if it already makes up over half of the comments in popular subs.

Twitter/X has a productive approach with Community Notes. Scam ads get noted.

He's an engineeer that worked through this with other engineers from first principles. You're spreading bullshit with 2 seconds of effort.

You're right that it's too slow. It would help if they sent a notification to everyone who liked or interacted with such a tweet, to give them the community notes update. And or resurface it in the timeline.

Community notes is the replacement for s/moderation/censorship. It's far more truthful and accurate than any s/moderation/censorship committee. This has been repeatedly demonstrated.

Don't confuse tolerance for free speech with the dubious concept of hate speech and its selective application.

Why does that article say Elon caved as though he's personally involved in every moderation decision. He wasn't even aware of it and sees it as a problem to be fixed. "First I’ve heard. It is not possible for me to fix every

That's a salient point. Biased, uneven, nontransparent moderation was always happening with weak justification, it was just done by unaccountable people and propagandized as righteous. Remember people getting banned for saying "le

If PG isn't a case of malicious enforcement by moderation and doesn't reverse this policy, he's truly lost the plot. Now let's see if he bans and fires George Hotz, who is working at Twitter. "Agreed that’s this is

This is fucking sad. This is just as bad as the old Twitter that banned people for saying things like "learn to code". Any hope for an improved Twitter is getting tossed out the window.

I appreciate you pointing out that both sides are disingenuous about assassination attempts. My attacks on you are consequence culture. Your attacks on me are stochastic terrorism.

Exactly, the hypocrisy knows no bounds. They were defending Twitter's biased nontransparent censorship before only because it aligned with their bias. Now that it doesn't match their bias, they see the problem. Finally, welcome to

Welcome to the new Twitter, just like the old Twitter. At least now everyone understands the value of a neutral free speech town square and can see that "it's a company, they can do what they want" was always a disingenuous a

That is what people are doing with TSLA. Cherry picking one of many tech stocks that went down and trying to attribute to something other than macroeconomic factors. All tech stocks took a dive.

That was the case until a stalker got close to his toddler. That clearly shook him and changed his mind. Now the account will come back with a delay. He also changed his mind on free speech absolutism. He came around to the "freedom of
