For context -- he's commenting on Chris "Critical Race Theory" Rufo's rag. Over the fabricated NPR/Katherine Maher scandal he orchestrated over old progressive tweets and Wikipedia edits. Which he successfully laundered into the NYT under white grievances for her comments on white privilege. And now Republicans are demanding she come testify over NPR's "left-wing bias."

Yeah.

These techbro CEO morons are all cut from the same goddamn cloth, Christ.

You know Elon, it is pretty crazy that Obama created covid to hide voter fraud so that Biden could win the election by one of the smallest margins in US history including in several swing states with Republican secretaries of states. Almost unbelievable one might say, but what do I, the man without a serious drug problem, know

Nintendo is done paying Elon Musk for X integration


View: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1788375084886892947?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1788375084886892947%7Ctwgr%5E5eee983e013fad58099ce8686cc2e54fa7bd97a1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fnintendo-is-done-paying-elon-musk-for-x-integration-165704399.html
Nintendo has apparently had enough of X's (Twitter's) API fees. The Mario maker said on Wednesday that starting on June 10, direct integration from the Switch's image album to Elon Musk's Nazi-curious platform will no longer work. With Nintendo's departure, all three major console makers have pulled the plug on native screen-sharing to X.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
X's official gaming account posted a bizarre, downright Orwellian response that ignores its central role in the Mario maker's exit. "Our partnership with Nintendo remains strong, and we are working together to ensure a smooth transition for all users," @xGaming posted at the end of its nonchalantly misleading reply to Nintendo's announcement. "We will continue collaborating with partners to bring new and exciting experiences to our global gaming community."
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Ironically, X's built-in reader context feature filled in the omitted subtext. "This is in direct response to X changing their API," the user-generated context says. "Specifically, X is charging companies upwards of $40,000 or more per month to access its API. Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox already removed integration with X last year."
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Wired first reported last year that access to the cheapest Enterprise API plan for The Dumpster Fire Formerly Known As Twitter starts at $42,000 monthly. Higher tiers can allegedly cost $125,000 and $210,000 per month. Microsoft led the charge when it said the Xbox was abandoning Musk's API plan in April 2023, while Sony held its nose and stuck it out until November.

The API changes were so incredibly dumb. I still don't feel like I know whether he did it more as a panicked cash grab or to cut researchers out of studying radicalization on Twitter. Charging the platform owners an exorbitant amount for gamers to tweet interesting things only helps kill Twitter in the long run.

Eeeeyup. I'll repeat what I said in the Gaming thread:

It's been less than two years and Elon Musk has successfully destroyed gaming multimedia sharing because, uh, free API bad. Way to go.

I mean, I guess I'm happy Nintendo isn't servicing his Nazi corporation anymore, but just like every last one of this pissbaby's disastrous impulses, it didn't have to be this way! Funny how not long ago this pea-brained faux-genius was moaning about how the non-sequitur Sweetbaby nonsense was "ruining games" and he's done far more damage to the community's engagement/outreach with this one move alone! Who's going to bother with the hassle of a USB cable in this day and age?

It's a company I love and that has given me so much, but has also taken its pound of flesh," Otto wrote on LinkedIn. "Great companies are made up of equal parts great people and great products, and the latter are only possible when its people are thriving. The recent layoffs that are rocking the company and its morale have thrown this harmony out of balance and it's hard to see the long-game. It was time for a change."

Lawsuit dismissed: Elon Musk's X corp loses case against Israeli data-scraping company

Elon Musk's doomerist hobby is falling to sleep at night listening to podcasts on the end of civilization


Listening to Elon Musk can be depressing at times. In his mind, human civilization is a tiny flickering candle surrounded by a vast expanse of darkness that hasn't even built a colony on Mars yet. He constantly ruminates about plummeting birth rates—he's even warned that the odds of World War III erupting between East and West are increasing. Now, we might know why.

Why is this asshole so obsessed with fucking birth rates. The actual people who study this and know what they're talking about expect the population to level off and maintain itself at around 10 billion, not to fall to collapse levels, and they've been pretty close in their predictions for a long time.

I mean, I know the answer is some combination of him having to be the smartest person in any room and white supremacy with his Great Replacement bullshit but fuck. Shut up about this non-problem. We have actual problems to worry about, like how you offered the UN a few billion dollars to solve world hunger and then reneged when they came up with an action plan for it. You would think someone obsessed with birth rates would be interested in keeping people alive but noooooo. Like any conspiracy-minded asshole, half the point is to not solve the problem so they can continue lording their insight over everyone else.

(Also I'm sure good old-fashioned racism re which countries struggle with food insecurity plus his stupid impulsivity to just spout stuff with no intention to actually commit contributed no small amount too).

it's 1000% just worrying that Western countries won't have majority white populations. Musk couldn't give a fuck about the entire world, it's just about good old white supremacy. I mean, nothing surprising from the scion of a white South African emerald miner.

In the battle of Telegram vs Signal, Elon Musk casts doubt on the security of the app he once championed

CTcaKA7.png


View: https://twitter.com/jack/status/1787895769183268948?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1787908190799278360%7Ctwgr%5E7f9d9d8cc3270f608a7dc4aa8f8fe5bd6091b629%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.com%2Felon-musk-encrypted-messenger-app-wars-telegram-signal-2024-5
Musk, who previously championed Signal for its user privacy protections, now appears to have changed his tune, amplifying criticisms of the app and its leadership and saying there are unspecified "known vulnerabilities" within Signal that have gone unaddressed by the company's leadership.

Given his influence in the tech sphere, Musk's remarkable reversal on Signal has become central to the current conversation on encryption — and, according to one cryptography expert, is pushing users toward less secure alternatives.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
In recent weeks, Signal has come under fire from Pavel Durov, the CEO of rival app Telegram, who lambasted Signal's encryption capabilities in a public post on his own platform, saying, "the US government spent $3M to build Signal's encryption," and accusing Signal of being an insecure choice for private messaging.

Notably, messaging on Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted by default, as it is on Signal.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
In his post, Durov cited an article written by conservative activist Christopher Rufo — known in part for his crusade against DEI initiatives — that took aim at the Signal Foundation's current chairman of the board, Katherine Maher.

In his article, Rufo described Maher as "a US-backed agent of regime change" and alleged she worked with the government to censor conservative viewpoints during her tenure at Wikipedia. Maher's ideology, Rufo argued, means users of Signal should be cautious of its trustworthiness, though he provided no evidence that Maher has altered any of Signal's encryption technology nor changed the organization's mission since joining the board.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
"Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure, with assistance from Elon Musk," Johns Hopkins cryptography professor Matthew Green wrote in response to the unfolding commentary about the apps: "The goal seems to be to get activists to switch away from encrypted Signal to mostly-unencrypted Telegram."
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
He added that promoting Telegram as more secure than Signal, as Durov has done, "is like promoting ketchup as better for your car than synthetic motor oil. Telegram isn't a secure messenger, full stop."
