Apparently, the latest made up thing that the Tesla Roadster will do is 0-60 in 'less than one second' which puts it at pulling around 3G, the start of the threshold where fighter pilots start losing their vision. It's spent 7 years going from announced to, not released. He can claim it goes sideways through time, cures cancer and releases Half Life 3. |

Boy I sure love the idea of having to play the market anytime I want to...eat a burger. The next step is varying pay by a similar measure. |

We don't need to see your gravestone to know you never went to therapy, Elon.  |

Maybe the therapist quit after being forced to come into the office and sleep on the sofa

Is that a stealth “I’m going to be featuring in the celebrity death thread soon” announcement?

His master business brain has also surely got it the wrong way round too. If costs are constant (staff/premises), surely prices go down in peak times as cost per unit is lower, not down during off peak. His attempt to justify it is totally confused.
The idea is feasible if your intention is to keep prices as low as possible at any given time. Obviously the real intention is to make more money, so it would be a price rise by stealth like 50p more at peak, 50p less off peak that most people wouldn't realise was an average price increase

Did you hear Glasgow Willy Wonka got milkshake ducked??
…I feel like in-joke references like that are very unique to Twitter - I don’t see Bluesky or Threads or the other alternatives having quite the same level of shared reverence and pisstaking (yet).
(… he tried to have a fling with a 16 year old when he was 22 apparently)

Twitter phone calls are now a thing! They’re also default ON so any randos can call you on your fucking phone. Have to switch it off in the privacy settings

I'm 99% sure I never gave mine so I should be good (not that I've been logged in since it threw me out months ago  ) |

Musk seems confused at why NATO still exists while Russia is threatening every member of it, I think the bloke has serious brain damage.

Defaults to "Anyone you follow"... Luckily that's still no one (my account was literally just a throwaway to be able to view tweets/replies without as much horseshit  ) Fucking stupid feature to implement in such a way though, a sensible owner would have made it opt-in ("there's your problem right there" etc) |

Why is it tech companies *always* turn these things on and least-privacy by default? Remember when google did that with their first attempt at a social media thing (plus? circles? I forget which) and it caused massive amounts of trouble and basically killed it? |

Well, yes and no. I get that they're trying to maximise the number of users, but they also end up pissing the most users off and getting the worst publicity.
And the 'any publicity is good publicity' doesn't often seem to work out in these cases.

I don't have the app installed and it doesn't seem to be an option on the browser.

Same. I'm wondering if I need to change anything, or just ignore it until such a time as I install the app (which will probably never happen)

I checked my phone's app and it was switched off by default, unsurprisingly I left it that way, it's possible that it's set differently in some regions for legal reasons.
