A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

more concerning is that he has the mental maturity of a five year old. If CEOs pressing the nuclear missile buttons in the Fallout series seemed like an exaggeration, look at Elon and think again.
Vault Tec starting the war was by far the most realistic part of the story. Even when it was revealed in the games, long before the series, my reaction was "Duh".
According to the games it was China that started the Great War. In the TV series, they hinted at plans of VaulTec to profit off of their vaults with starting off the war with a first strike.

HINTED? They flat out SHOWED it happening!
Yeah I was gonna say... I remember playing that DLC set in Alaska (or like a simulation of the battle that took place in Alaska?) where they talk about China striking first.
That DLC was dope.
Chinese stealth suit baby!
The war was VaulTec's intended plan and they arranged for China to launch the first strike.
Horizon Zero Dawn did a really good study on the ego of a tech billionaire.
What if he is not mentally a 5 year old but people keep letting him do what he wants and he is trying to keep pushing that envelope.
Him acting like a 5 year old and getting away with it is also on society imo.
If Biden was the communist smooth brained conservatives think he is, he'd nationalize Tesla and SpaceX and send Musk to the gulag.
Yup, and yet america will not do anything
Maybe a citizen will.
Two already tried.
(I know, I know)
Meddlesome ~~priest~~ CEO
Immigrants, amirite?
This is conjecture but don't Teslas record everything around them. Couldn't that be a form of distributed surveillance/botnet or something?
Possibly. Nothing is open source so we don't really know what they're doing.
There are privacy options to opt in to this, but it's not on by default.
Assuming you can trust the options anyway.
Edit: I do think it will share the video in the event of an accident or vehicle break in though even when not opted in.
That's even more terrifying.
Even if Tesla itself doesn't do that, it's something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera's (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).
The company "flock safety" operates license plate cameras across the country. They allow any subscribing law enforcement agency to access all of the data. I believe this includes agencies in foreign countries.
Concerning.
?
It’s how Elongated Muskrat spreads his dumbass conspiracy theories.
Elongated Muskrat posts an obviously fake picture of something that dumbasses will latch on to with no second thought “Concerning” or “This needs to be looked at”
Haha! I had forgotten about the emoji. He’s such a fucking loser.
I know
He sometimes boosts misinformation by commenting '?' or '!'.
And if he ever tries to screw over the country by threatening US national security or blackmailing over it, I hope the relevant 3 letter agencies come knocking on his door one night, whisking him away to a place nobody will ever see him again.
Nah, nationalize his shit right out from under him, draft his executives and explain to them the terms Chain of Command and UCMJ. That's the kind of thing billionaires are actually afraid of.
Ooh, we wanna take him to Guantanamo Take him there fast Where he'll get tortured slow That's where we want him to go Way down to Guantanamo
He's rich enough to get several warnings before someone maybe considers bringing charges against him.
Looking into this
The whole country is conserning
