@jessevondoom Musk is just another Trump. Attaches his name to front other people's ideas and hard work to gain investors.
A brand.
Now he's big enough to do leveraged takeovers, loading acquisitions with debt.
He's as petty as every chain bar middle micro manager I ever worked for.
Funny that we seem to be going in circles.
The web started as a bunch of individuals running their own servers. Then things got professionalized, and we got the mostly benevolent, for-pay corporate services. Now that your data is more valuable than whatever meager subscription fee you're not going to pay for anyway, we're back to trusting the randos.
The plummeting server/software costs help, but it would be impossible without volunteer labor.
It behooves us to support the randos.

This year, bankers collected the biggest bonuses since the 2008 crash.
Rishi Sunak claims to understand people’s hardships, but his predecessor’s plan to lift the bonus cap remains in place.
1 in 3 children will go hungry this winter, but will nobody think of the bankers?

Inflation is simple to explain @RevRichardColes. It’s a measure of the increase in prices in a month compared to the previous year. It is high now as the impact of Putin’s war works through the economy. That war has lasted less than a year so far. A quick thread….. https://twitter.com/revrichardcoles/status/1592793257054187520

You couldn't make this up. Baddiel's "Jews Don't Count" for Ch4 is sponsored by Ford, the company that not only supplied the Nazis leading up to and during WW2 but was founded by Henry Ford, one of the world's most vile anti-Semites and friend of Hitler.
