      people forget musk was an “illegal” himself, having overstayed a visa (allegedly). I do wonder if he lied on any of his immigration paperwork because citizenship can be rescinded on the grounds of fraud. This would force twitter to be registered as a foreign owned corporation and likely would be forced to sell under the tiktok law and he’d lose the military contracts.

          Technically he died of pneumonia but he did have Alzheimers. It was on full display for years. But you rarely die of it. It just makes you much more likely to die from something else.

          I don’t know if its true but they said he had to reroute away from his intended destination due to non payment of some bill at the airport he was going to would have resulted in the plane being impounded to settle the debt.

    The scheduled chat started 30 minutes late after Musk’s platform failed to launch a livestream, which Musk attributed to a “DDOS” attack. After the interview got underway, users were quick to point out that Trump didn’t sound as sharp as usual.

    Sure thing, Lonnie. You were under DDOS. I believe that because it’s not like your live chat with DeSantis was bogged down with tons of problems and this is a pattern. Fucking liar.

          I don’t think auto-scaling can scale to resources that don’t exist. Besides, I’m not sure how many people with both the competence and the spine to advise Musk when he’s doing A Stupid again still remain at the company.

              Oh absolutely, provided you’re versed enough to understand the resource limitations, the need to prepare scaling solutions and have the willingness to admit that your in-house resources might not be enough. I’m not confident Musk ticks any of these boxes, let alone all of them.

              And a competent team can only do so much. He ripped out data center servers, against his competent sysadmins’ advice.

          Don’t worry he said other horrible things outside that short clip too like claiming climate change sea level rise isn’t an issue because it would make more beach front properties somehow. (I don’t think he understands that raising sea levels generally cause beaches to get smaller and flood existing properties)

          He also reiterated his plans to completely remove the department of education (also a policy point in project 2025, isn’t it strange how he lines up with that)

            more beach front properties somehow

            Due to area decreasing by the square of the scale factor, the ratio of beach to area increases despite the size of beach decreasing. A higher ratio still means you’re losing beachfront, but I wouldn’t expect Trump to understand simple geometry.

        You don’t have to watch the news to know that the dude is completely rattled after a sniper took like eight shots at him and got him with a piece of one of them. If it was an inch to the other direction it would have torn off the side of his head. It was traumatic for Trump, to be sure.
