If your dog is foaming at the mouth and acting erratically and aggressively then he does have rabies.

It's always best to see things as they are.

Musk has been lying about full self driving for 10 years. He had already discovered that reality doesn't matter.

He lies constantly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42902603

They were and remain two full on fascist salutes. There's no minimizing it or explaining it away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smQNNo2a9xc

So you're saying it's exactly the wrong time for Musk to flip fascist salutes and meddle in European politics?

When buyers have a lot of choice of EV, why will they choose to buy a swasticar?

Sure. Self policing always results in maximum honesty and integrity.

Yes, you shouldn't naively invest your boyhood hopes and dreams in a sociopathic oligarch.

When you carry water for Musk you get to carry his baggage too.

It's more correct to say that Musk turned against Britain.

> and yes I got FSD

Make sure you demand new hardware for your car:

https://electrek.co/2025/01/29/elon-musk-finally-admits-that...

Tesla's claim that they had solved the hardware problem eight years ago was a lie:

https://electrek.co/2024/08/24/tesla-deletes-its-blog-post-s...

Musk has turned Teslas into swasticars. That brand damage is going to be hard to undo.

He'll care. It will sting him right in the narcissism.

But it's certainly true he won't change or improve.

They own HBO and HBO Max.

> Still extremely impressive

There's nothing impressive about blatant lies. You've embraced nihilism. It will do you no good.

And then the ADL had to face up to the reality of who Musk is the next day: https://www.axios.com/2025/01/23/elon-musk-nazi-joke-adl

And Musk has form. He likes to dabble in antisemitism: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/16/elon-musk...

Trying to excuse his fascist salutes as anything less than fascist salutes is not useful. See things as they are.

Do you think a new citizen is a lesser citizen?

> It's a nazi salute, not fascist. Obviously he's not a nazi.

So.. it's obvious that he's not a Nazi because he performs Nazi salutes.

Fascist salute, Nazi salute, Roman salute. It's all the same thing. It's all the trappings of fascism.

> To be considered fascist he would take over control of gov. Instead he's removing it...

This is absurdity.

And the lies? You haven't rationalized those yet.

Sure. Why not be regulation free? What could possibly go wrong:

But it does. Do you think a new citizen is a lesser citizen?

Save America: don't buy Tesla.

It makes them more corruptible. They will perform corrupt acts while believing it the right thing to do. They're too naive to know better.

They won't do graft. They will follow orders. Even and especially when the orders are corrupt.

> I call it frog-boiling because it's easy for me to imagine that one day I would wake up and be horrified by the systems we had inadvertently let spring up around ourselves.

You're already removing the ability of users to vouch. That frog is boiled.

I'm saying tell them on their user page. Include a line that only they can see which says "can no longer vouch" or similar. That way they know what's happened instead of having to guess what's happened.

Yes, they are corrupting the youth for their own purposes. The young are too dumb to recognize what's happening to them.

> too young to lie or corrupt

Too young to have the experience to know what's a good idea and what's a bad idea. Too young to question what they're doing. Too young to push back when things are going wrong. Too young to have life experience and so are far easier to shape and indoctrinate.

Musk pledged his commitment to China's core socialist values: https://www.mediaite.com/news/elon-musk-signs-letter-pledgin...

Musk advocated for the submission of Taiwan to China: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/08/elon-musk...

Musk thinks China rocks: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/31/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-china-ro...

Surely everyone will want a swasticar.

You're rationalizing his fascist salutes.

Can you also rationalize these lies by Musk: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42902603

It was two salutes: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/20/trump-elo...

So really it only cost half as much. What a bargain!

Why don't you make such things transparent and clear on a user's account so they can see what you've done?

You're keen on reviewing a user's recent history, but provide no corresponding transparency to the user on what you've done.

The young are always the easiest to indoctrinate.

South Korea can train the US navy. Teach them how to build again:

Yes, you do need my perspective.

I will not let it be dishonest.
