I was just correcting you're incorrect point...

No, I think he blocks anyone who likes a tweet that disagrees with him. Not necessarily people who are replying to him.

Peter Thiel's in-house philosopher Curtis Yarvin is a monarchist. So yes, I guess you're correct he isn't mainstream left...

From my understanding he autoblocks anyone who likes a tweet that pushes back on his political takes.

I guess everyone Garry has blocked on Twitter will not be applying to YC any time soon :)

I would also say spending billions on user acquisition is a bit of an innovation too because they did it and it paid off.

Violent crime is up in many places. In fact it has increased more in Rural America more than it has in NYC.

This is a common feature of most hierarchical structures (and also democracies)...

Wanting to overturn an election due to false claims of voter fraud is exactly the same as people protesting bad governance /s

Elon hurt himself by waiving his right to any due diligence. Any time he tweets he sees a ton of spam accounts replying to him. Why didn't he ask for this information before agreeing to the initial terms?

A platform isn't necessarily neutral. It can cultivate and influence the culture that that exists on it. Medium never really seemed to do that imo.

The idea that this looks the same to the average person is insane to me. What aspect of these two photos looks the same?

Being online today as a kid is nothing like it was 25 years ago, especially considering you probably were online using the family computer on dial-up.

It's pretty crazy Coinbase makes it hard to know your total losses/profits. I imagine it's somewhere in the app, but it's not top level like in any other trading/investment app.

They've built the best personalized content algorithm by collecting mass amounts of data and fingerprinting and indexing everything you can from a video.

You're literally describing every major user generated content platform.

Links to those multiple independent research studies?

TikTok required billions of dollars on ad spend to be able to compete. Definitely shows you can break into being a top-tier social product, but it maybe requires a lot of money to do in a short amount of time.

Yes, I agree. The person replying to me seems to want to debate that.

I'm free to conclude whatever I want. I'm not the court of law. You're clearly making your own conclusions as well.

You usually don't proposition your employees, especially if you are a CEO and the context is during a massage that is an employee perk for executives.

"After Insider contacted Musk for comment, he emailed to ask for more time to respond and said there is "a lot more to this story."

"If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire 30-year career that it comes to light," he wrote, calling the story a "politically motivated hit piece."

Insider extended the deadline and reiterated the offer to Musk to comment on the claims. He did not respond."

If it weren't true, you would imagine they would more strongly deny the event happened.

I'm not implying they aren't true. Just pointing out Musk laying the groundwork to try and discredit whatever was coming.

"Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months" https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1526961470562508802

"In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.

But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.

Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … " https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1526997132858822658

Interesting strategy of trying to get ahead of this..

Shouldn't they be saying the number is decreasing vs staying at ~5% for years then?

They can do that already.

What is homosexuality and transgender propaganda?

It's pretty explicitly stated that they think a benefit of the redesign is improved UX.

Well his tweets before that kinda disparaged their work and then claimed their work.

I'd hire them because they seem to be good at their job.

It's pretty normal for people to look at the evidence and be able to decide if someone was guilty or not.

If someone is on video shooting someone, it is a bit silly to say "Why are you editorializing their presumed guilt in this matter."
