April 28, 20241 yr Profit of $4804: how Musk’s takeover crushed Twitter in Australia https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/profit-of-4804-how-musk-s-takeover-crushed-twitter-in-australia-20240428-p5fn2k Quote A glimpse into the Australian entity presents an undesirable business. With $3.4 million in revenue, Twitter Australia Holdings spent $1.2 million on sales and marketing, $285,000 on administration, $99,000 on research and development, and $21,000 on anything else. Its operating profit for the first six months of 2023 was $1.9 million – almost all of which went to the tax office. Its net profit was $4804. Salaries were slashed 87 per cent, to $1.2 million from $9 million. Bonuses were cut to $258,000 from $1.4 million – an 82 per cent fall. Marketing expenses were cut 93 per cent, to just $61,000 from $821,000. Facilities expenses were slashed by 99 per cent to just $2880 – after the axe fell, most employees were working from home. Elon took Twitter and flushed it right down the Xhitter.
May 3, 20241 yr I remember getting into multi-page arguments on here with van about which regime used the power of the government to censor people online more lol. Good times.
May 3, 20241 yr Tesla Fans Furious as Company Fires Supercharger Team, Cancels Supercharger Leases "Superchargers are what convinced me on Tesla. Hopefully this isn’t the beginning of the end." https://futurism.com/tesla-fans-furious-supercharger-team Quote Earlier this week, news emerged that Tesla CEO Elon Musk had let go of the entire 500-person team working on its Supercharger network, the company's flagship network of chargers that's significantly set it apart from its EV competitors. The company has even already begun pulling out of key Supercharger location leases, as Electrek reports. Doesn't sound good at all.

The fringes are always nutty. The weird part is how easily Donnie made the right wing fringe into the new face of the GOP, and they lap it up.
May 7, 20241 yr Quote I am reaching out to let you know that after a careful review of your permanent work restrictions and your role, it was determined that there was no reasonable accommodation that would enable you to perform the essential functions of your position in your role. The next step in the interactive process is the Alternative Job Search (AJS process), which consists of reviewing Tesla’s internal and external job board to identify potential positions. This is to inform you that we have not identified any openings for which you appear qualified. Given recent changes in the business, we also do not currently anticipate any such openings in the near term. As such, we are advising that we intend to conclude the AJS process at this time. As we have not identified an alternative available position, we will begin processing your separation from employment with Tesla, effective May 3rd, 2024. The recent layoff message. Does Tesla need to return the money it took from the government for supercharging stations, seeing that has laid off those people and is not going to continue the work?

May 17, 20241 yr Cybertruck v 911: Drag Race Vindicates Engineer Who Told Elon Musk To Apologize to Porsche https://www.autoevolution.com/news/cybertruck-v-911-drag-race-vindicates-engineer-who-told-elon-musk-to-apologize-to-porsche-234016.html Yeah, they faked the video of the truck towing a 911 beating a 911 in a quarter mile.

May 17, 20241 yr First Neuralink Patient Alarmed as Device Starts Losing Functionality "But then they told me that the threads were getting pulled out of my brain." https://futurism.com/neoscope/first-neuralink-patient-alarmed-device-starts-glitching Quote He started setting records right from the get-go, as measured by standardized brain-computer interface tests. But things didn't always go according to plan. As Neuralink later admitted, some of the threads inserted into his motor cortex started to retract over time, possibly due to air trapped in his skull following the surgery. In a new interview with Bloomberg, Arbaugh recalled the terrible experience of losing abilities he'd only just regained. "I started losing control of the cursor," Arbaugh told Bloomberg. "I thought they’d made some changes and that was the reason." "But then they told me that the threads were getting pulled out of my brain," he added. "It was really hard to hear. I thought I’d gotten to use it for maybe a month, and then my journey was coming to an end." That has to really suck.

May 21, 20241 yr More recently, the CEO has not only said that but has also been making moves to ensure that this is the only path for Tesla, like canceling the cheaper Tesla vehicle on the unboxed platform in favor of its upcoming Robotaxi. That’s why it was really concerning when the CEO suggested that he is "uncomfortable” building AI products at Tesla unless he has "25% control over the company” – something he doesn’t have right now – partly because he decided to sell tens of billions of dollars worth of Tesla shares to buy Twitter https://electrek.co/2024/05/20/elon-musk-confirms-threat-give-me-25-of-tesla-or-no-ai-robotics/
