Yeah, you could customise the ambient noise the car makes to the outside. Someone did a video on YouTube of it saying “bruh” over and over again as it drove.
It is kind of reassuring to know that, in general, if you make a horrid environment full of trolls, people will simply leave.
Let’s face it, your car and my car can’t do that. Tesla are so far ahead.
While there are cases of bloated workforces that need to be cut back, usually that doesn't mean an existing workforce is double what's necessary. If many of the cutbacks lead to much reduced moderation of content, it would fit in with Musk's aspirations but also hasten the withdrawal of advertising and overall user numbers.
He bought it with quite a lot of money, and at the time the deal was brokered the banks who lent the cash into the company were willing to take on the risk that came with the debt. Ultimately if Twitter goes down then the big losers are Musk, his associates and the banks. All the previous owners got paid what the company was worth, or actually what the company was worth plus at least 50-70%.
It's a bizarre stretch to characterise advertisers removing their business from one particular company as "trying to destroy free speech". I wonder how long he'd last in a country which really had prevented free speech by locking up anyone critical of the authorities.
He hasn't realised that free speech also means that companies can decided no to support things they or their users/customers don't like, naming and shaming would just be free adverts to said companies.
Given a lot of them have openly announced they are no longer advertising on Twitter, isn't this a bit of an empty threat anyway?
Indeed though it got some of his alt-right fans excited so job done i guess.
Let's hope none the said individuals/institutions demand taxpayer bailouts because of this one saga.
I doubt the companies have much to worry about, Musk's supporters won't be a significant number to cause problems for those companies if they boycott it, while most moderates who use those companies either won't know what's going on here or not be swayed into looking elsewhere. There may even be some extra customers from those opposed to Musk's antics who want to show support to the companies cutting ties with Twitter.
And Twitter. The bankers will love owning Twitter if and when he defaults.
