CSS does a huge public service with their breakdown of the latest (Q1-2025) earnings call, de-bullshitting the vomitous ejecta from Musk and his toadies
::I tried to get the Microsoft Copilot designer to create an image of Musk crying into his nitro cold brew, and it refused. I think they block using Elon Musk in the prompt. ::
It isn't not quite what you asked for, but see if this isn't in the ballpark of what you wanted M$FT Copilot to do, Sweaty! I did this on Openart AI.
I use this now because I couldn't get Adobe Generative AI to do what I wanted with Trump, either!
Yessssss! I have an obnoxious relative who is a Muskyboy and he talked me into test driving a Tesla last time I visited…. Long story short, the damned thing BACKED INTO ANOTHER car while I was driving it! Bwahahahahaha! I was thinking of getting an EV (or was before “Liberation Day”) but would NEVER consider a Tesla, notwithstanding that Elonbro wants me to get a cybertruck… which is commonly referred to as the “sport futility vehicle “…🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Truly a cult, rivaling the Trump cult. This same relative was a total Bernie bro in 2020 …That a Bernie lover like my relative would worship Musk just boggles my mind. How do they deal with the cognitive dissonance????
Because, like, Elon is the Real Life Tony Stark, Man!
He's gonna take us to Mars, just like STAR TREK!
It's that weird kind of thing that has wannabe TechBros either supporting Bernie Sanders...or Andrew Yang. 🤷♂️
Sure, they'll give money to Trump because they think he's "flexible" (read: corrupt and stupid) enough to let them push through deregulation of crypto, hate speech laws, and supporting lower taxes, because regulations and taxes are...totes buzzkill on freedom, man, but yeah—they're utterly into Bernie because he's a righteous dude that the Man is keeping down!
I personally happen to think to think Bernie Sanders IS all that, but Yang is mostly a Corporate NeoLiberal Democrat except when it comes to (a completely inadequate) Universal Basic Income which he expects to replace SNAP, Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Unemployment....
When I was in college I might've even gone for the whole Elon Musk/Andrew Yang kind of vision because—STAR TREK! Post-Scarcity Socialist Future! Take us to Warp, Mr. Sulu! Now that I'm a LOT older I can see things don't really work like that, or aren't anywhere near that yet, and Billionaires aren't Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne, they're Lex Luthor crossed with Some Nerdboi Incel (so, Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor, basically!).
For a nice chaser, Tim Miller had Karen Hao on the Bulwark pod yesterday to discuss her new book about OpenAI and Sam in particular, Empire of AI”. It’s quite good. https://youtu.be/OfvoyF1PV8Q
I listened to the Better Offline pod with Karen. I will have to buy that book. There is so much hagiography in the literature that fellates these tech bros I need to find rational counters.
I also recommend the book "AI Snake Oil", it is very well balanced.
To the Moon, Elump! To the MOON!!
Tesla will never produce a semi, but the death spiral of Tesla always gives me a semi.
Well played!
Admit it, you got a chub outta that too, no? No kink shaming indeed!
Totally, and as I mentioned, it is my kink 😉

This was excellent!

I had her book on preorder and now it’s patiently waiting for me to get through the last 8 Discworld books.
Do you have a tl;dl on Ed’s take? (I’m sure he loved any negative dish on OpenAI and Sam in particular. 🤣)
Anyone who despises Elmo is all right by me. I’ll be following you from now on.
Musk and all the MAGA’s are going to have a rude awakening!!
I sure hope so!
