Ebiquity said its analysis appears to contradict statements made by X CEO Linda Yaccarino

Yes that’s what I thought, a bit of reality distortion and gas lighting the public will surely solve this. 😋
Remarkable how much Elons tactics for the past few years remind me of Trump.

I think it’s called lying

Bingo.

That dick bag tried to rinse and repeat the same BS management strategy he used at a car company on a tech company and wouldn’t you know, it’s cratering right before or eyes.

Shocking.

Why would they “take it down” when anyone with even a modicum of business knowledge would assume a better replacement would be created and take it’s place. This making the next version of Twitter even harder to control.

Taking it over and controlling the content on it is/was the smart play, especially if you’re going to fork over the $ to buy it outright.

Stop trying to justify Elon’s shit business decisions. He can just be a fucking moron that got lucky with a few strategic purchases.

You’ve mistaken Lemmy for Twitter. That’s where you post made up shit.

Chinese affordable EVs with an infotainment system that represents tech from the last 5 years.

Those aren’t the same customer demographics. The overwhelming majority of mobile phone gamers don’t know the first thing about emulators. Not to mention, other factors like mobile games being designed to tap into addictive triggers in the brain, social engineering, etc.

Out of all the games you listed, I believe King prints the most $ for Activision.

“Don’t forget to hit the bell and smash that like and subscribe button!”

I worked for Musk for longer than I care to admit, well before the world caught on to what an evil snake oil salesman he is and I endorse this post.

Let me just say after my time that the pedophile thing is probably nowhere near the worst thing that man has said or done to others he deems unworthy.

Yep, between fixed mounted TV’s with zero space behind the TV to reach the HDMI ports or the TVs that have the weird cable box firmware/software that blocks you from accessing the tv inputs it was doomed from the beginning.

But when will we finally be free of the pages upon pages of job listings for stable boys. Who will care for all the horses?!

You lost all credibility when you said it was “less about the costs”

I recently hired a mid -level manager from McDs strategy team and it’s at least 90% about cost reduction. They’re watching the adoption curve, because older and urban demographics still mostly order at the counter and refuse to use the self ordering lines. That’s why they offer free fries and free upgrades at select locations for using self ordering to force the greater adoption.

Also they’ve started reducing headcount in locations where adoption is higher, but still limit hours to hourly workers.

It’s all right there if you want to believe it, but good luck with the spin.

If it’s a Tesla, you lose all access to connectivity, OTA updates, “autopilot”, driver assist, gps, etc…

Fuck Elon

Given your comment I’m not sure if this a positive comment on lemmy or whether you agree with the comment you responded to?

Someone being banned for arguing politics would never happen on Reddit, so given they were banned from two instances in <6hrs is a land speed record.

It’s not and that’s because it’s bad for Reddit’s business model in the short term. If you zoom out this is exactly why reddit is on a nose dive over the last 3 years. More. Shit. Content.

I don’t want to kill billionaires. I just want them to pay for their fair share based on their exploitation of the broken system we’re forced to live in.

Same. Sigh.

I think the world’s evolving (or devolving) too fast for these broad generational categories to define us anymore.

Battery, range, accuracy. Just guessing.

It’s used so interchangeably these days that I’m inclined to say no, but an oversimplication is that a ponzi scheme is always illegal and is more detailed in its mechanics (as named after conman Charles Ponzi). Wheras a pyramid scheme (or more commonly known: MLM) can actually be legal depending on how it’s constructed.

A ponzi scheme involves a conman who scams his customers by taking massive profits from their investors and requires a constant stream of new investors to pay off the old ones. This is fraud.

A pyramid scheme usually involves some type of product and pays huge bonuses to the recruiters at the top for bringing in more people below them from the investment of new people below them. This is taxing uneducated people but can be legal.

TLDR: capitalism is more akin to a pyramid scheme and not at all like a ponzi scheme.
