Who TF is Elon musk?

Yup. I am. Was curious what sort of response it would elicit.

I agree, I am 100% wrong

This is a masturbatory and commissioned article. It doesn't belong in r/technology

Obviously credentials and accomplishments in your professional field matter - but until it's proven, and scalable, only the tech matters.

No one interested in technology, beyond monetary value to themselves, cares about who managed a project.

Sorry, not sorry.

I, personally, prefer seeing an image of the actual technology that's being reported. Couldn't care less about the guy, who managed the engineers.

Why is the thumbnail just a photo of some dude? Yes, I read the article.

Seems like a real upstanding group of boys

Absolutely incorrect. Tik Tok collects WAY more data, and changes it's behavior if the app determines you are attempting to analyze it's network traffic.

There are several reasons I only watch videos I have ripped/downloaded. Aside from never needing to search for, or stream again, I also don't get wrapped up in the sort of inevitable data collection the industry profits (hugely) from.

If you cared about values, you wouldn't have voted for Trump. You care about sticking to people you've never met, because Tucker Carlson said "They think you're better than you! They're trying take away your way of life!"

That's a lie. You are being manipulated. If you were really a Christian, you would want a better life for strangers. But you aren't

And that's where the problem is - politics is about society as a WHOLE, not about how YOU feel. The entire republican platform is "own the libs". Government is supposed to work for EVERYONE - otherwise, it has no purpose. Corporations don't need government, PEOPLE do. You AND I.

Since the data first started getting recorded, the economy has been significantly better under Democratic presidents, for example.

Well, of course we're shitting on you - you want to take away freedom from people you disagree with. But we don't actively hate you. The left doesn't gloat about hurting people who are different.

Parler, Truth Social, etc - One statement, one fact, zero assumptions.

Nope, it's just always interesting to talk to conservatives. They never want to contribute anything of substance to a conversation, just complain.

Liberals don't need safe spaces - we understand the world around us gets better if we all work together.

And you don't care about the world around you, or learning new things.

Your faith is the answer for anything you don't know, and outlets like Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart - serve you groups of people to hate, and the world seems smaller and more manageable.

It's like the Jehovah's Witnesses - the door-to-door isn't actually about recruiting, it's to teach members that outsiders are mean, and evil, but the church is family. It's safer with them.

ROFL - it isn't a clue to you that conservatives need a separate community to discuss their thoughts?

You snowflakes isolate yourselves from anyone who disagrees. There are no "left-wing" communities, because politics aren't our identity.

See, that's the difference between our politics. I say the right is antisemitic, and you are personally insulted. I didn't call you antisemitic, I called the party you support antisemitic.

Conservatives seem to believe that all criticism of their party, is a personal attack - and that's the purpose of propaganda.

I don't give a shit about the democratic party, I just the smartest, and least evil, politicians in office.

Oh, I have. They just don't have anything of substance to contribute. Literally nothing of value to contribute to society.

You support the Republican party, because they've convinced you that liberals are evil.

The right is absolutely antisemitic - and the USA is not, and was never intend to be a Christian nation.

"One Nation, Under God" was added to the pledge of allegiance in the 1950s.

Sit down, child.

Don't be a flacid penis. Both sides, of American politics, are NOT morally equivalent.

No where close.

The Fraternal Order of Police, the fat blue line, is a goddamn disgrace to justice, and the USA

You are given power as LE, power that no other citizen has.

Of course this power is going to be abused by certain individuals - the problem is your fraternal mafia organization.
