    Musk also told staff that he would ask for the resignation of any executive “who retains more than three people who don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test.”

    Pssst. Elon. You’re not any of those three things.

      Shouldn’t he resign based on this criterion?

        No, just the executive who’s retaining him, obviously

        Which… I guess that means the board?

        that would imply self-awareness and some degree of competence

          And not being a raging narcissist. But then he wouldn’t be a billionaire, so it would be a win win.

        On the one hand, funny, but i mean, who even cares though, everything Elon is going to zero, because he only has terrible ideas

        the idea that you should buy a car whose features are disabled unless you pay extra for them is probably the main driver of enshittification in society. It’s the enshittification of ownership. Of course capitalists love this idea, but no actual human being should.

          You don’t want to subscribe to the heated seats you already paid for? Looking forward to the near future where they replace the ignition with a card reader so you can do micropayments based on how long you use your own vehicle.

          I was thinking 'shrooms or LSD. But you might be right. A slight over voltage would probably get you the same effect.

            … you really decided doubling down on the nonsense was going to disprove my statement?

            It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for 'em.

            Speaking of books, have you ever read the Earthsea series? The way you talk about things reminds me of how in Earthsea things have a true name by which you can call and have them send towards your will. The trick is that some people have more then one true name and that, I think, is metaphor for how we can escape being manipulated when someone (or AI) learns our nature.
