  • I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.

    I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).

    Hopefully Musk’s shitty little empire crumbles…soon.







  • I have a friend who bought one 6 years ago. He paid like $6k for the feature and recently traded in for a new one because he could keep the self driving license for free.

    He says it never really worked that week and is worse on the new vehicle because cheapskate switched from lidar to cameras to save money. Also, he has 3 of 5 “strikes” toward a ban, because your need to keep you have on the wheel and eyes on the road. That’s right, a creepy camera watches you. He says at least 2 are false positives.

    Not exactly “Full self driving,” and Tesla doesn’t exactly look like they’ve been working on it

    I have no idea why people still buy anything from Musk.




  • Team owners: “We’re just humble billionaires and we care so much about your state. The team is part of the community… Now subsidize our massively profitable business or we’ll move the team.”

    I’ll never understand why fans are die hard loyal to franchises that screw them at every possible opportunity. Insane ticket prices, seat license fees (which are somehow different than tickets?), insane concession prices, ads on everything- it hurts my brain.
