He’s just upset zuck didn’t pay $42B for his app

The hard part is scaling and building a user base, but threads simply bootstrapped both off Instagram so it probably wasn’t hard for them to make.
I bet they copied some code for mastodon and paid Gargron to not try to go after them. That would definitely give them a huge lift. Otherwise, I don’t see how they were able to quickly come up with this. Tech companies take forever to build stuff usually
Sorry, you lost this bet. It’s not mastodon they copied, but Instagram: https://www.emergetools.com/deep-dives/threads
No idea why people keep buying cars from this guy. Fuck this moron.
I would not buy cars from a guy who can’t even manage a website.
I have even forgotten he is in cars business, more news from him when he is manipulating crypto prices
What grinds my gears the most is that every fucking manufacturer sucks at software and usability so hard it hurts every time. I rather have bad UX than bow to this moron though.

If you’re in California, be aware that there’s a hidden/sneaky “EV tax” and you’ll be paying (nearly) double registration fees every year. Mine went from $330 to alamost $700.
Also public charging is starting to be a problem as there’s not nearly enough charging stations and CA does nothing about it.
You’re also not paying gas taxes though. They have to make up the lost gas tax revenue somehow. Realistically, it should be based on the miles driven and the weight of the car (road damages increases exponentially with the weight of the vehicle), but for now they just have that flat EV tax.
Try charging a non Tesla while on a road trip, you’ll learn fast.
I’ve just remembered “I’m a free speech absolutist, but not when it comes to parodies of me” and “tweeting my publicly available flight logs is sending out assassination coordinates”. What a joke of an individual. Cry more Elmo.
The same as they first in line to get government money and whine when extra cent goes to public needs.
Using government subsidies to lobby against welfare…
I keep telling you that we need to eat the rich.
What kind of silverware should we use
Theirs.

If we’re bbq’ing and you’re using silverware I think you’re doing it wrong, all bbq is finger food and bread is your napkin. It’s like the only time eating like you’re 6 when you’re 56 is socially acceptable.
That’s a valid point, what kind of cookware should we use and how should we catch the wild game?
It’s so much work though.
You have to really scrub them to get all the lotion and bronzer off. Then given they’re absolutely saturated in recreational and prescription drugs you have to brine them for around a week.
Then it’s another day in the smoker low-and-slow for something that’s honestly not very tasty. They’re “ok” if you soak them in BBQ sauce, but it’s one of those things people eat just to say they did – not because they taste good.
It’s not cheating to hire the workers you unceremoniously fired to save money asshole. It’s called capitalism.
Then again, every super wealthy capitalist doesn’t actually want capitalism. They want feudalism, where nobody else is allowed to compete with them and if someone makes them angry they can banish them from society without trial.
Usually they don’t allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it’s basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don’t just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.
Welfare queen, that relies on government subsidies to run his business, accuses other billionaires of cheating in the market. Hilarious
I’m sure Meta’s lawyers are shaking in their boots lol
It’s not cheating to have a similar UI. Fuck off Musk.
It’s not like twitters ui is even clever
Finally, a competition where I’d like to see all parties involved lose as hard as possible
What is the context of his tweet?
Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter’s a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.

According to them they did hire some former Twitter employees but didn’t have them working on threads.
It doesn’t even matter, Elvis fired them, slandered them on Twitter, and now he’s upset that a different company hired them??? Are they supposed to just stay unemployed?
Many fired devs also had a working visa, so if they wouldn’t have work, they would have to move back. I don’t root for Meta, but i can take a little win if Musk is losing.
Jesus Christ I completely forgot that many of the workers were/are H1B visas. Possibly here for many years with spouse and kids. Our immigration system is so fucking dogshit placing all the power over someone’s life in the hands of people like Zuck or Elon. Open borders is best obviously but within some neoliberal system the cruelty here and the privatization of said cruelity is really beyond the pale. Even the chuds should be pissed about this situation since those immigrant workers will be willing to work for dogshit wages and under dogshit conditions (not blaming them, it’s not their fault) and thus lower the working conditions for citizens. Those visas should be unconditionally granted indefinitely pending permanent resident status (green card) and completely untied to any employer. Maybe if I go super libby I’d say make it a requirement they work for a minimum of 6 months within the applied-for position or industry barring being fired (for any reason to avoid BS by employers) or the company going bankrupt. Then they can do whatever they want while waiting for permanent residence… The way it is now is just absolutely bonkers and clearly as fuck designed to torture people with the constant “stay in line, stfu, eat your crumbs or you and your wife will be on a boat next week.” Pretty gross. Shithole country.
Its also worth noting that even though musk isn’t happy about it, legally he can’t do shit. He fired those people; Meta did not poach those employees.
Goddamn I fucking HATE Zuck the Cuck, but in this one specific case, gotta give the dude credit: That’s hilarious
For the longest time Twitter has been reportedly a fantastic place to work at, and they had some great engineers who would never be lured away to other companies for any amount of money.
Except for the unlikely scenario where Twitter is circling the drain and Meta comes in with an offer to build a competitor from scratch using all the tools at their disposal.
Wait, didn’t he buy his way into Tesla and then forced out the previous CEO or something?
Yeah read the same stuff, it is his way to become innovator :)
I can’t believe I’m rooting for The Zuck. Worse case of “enemy of my enemy” ever.
Though if Twitter does fall Meta should be next. It won’t be, but it’s nice to imagine.
We’ve really entered the Twilight Zone. I’m rooting for The Zuck to win this battle and I’m rooting for Disney in Florida.
As much as Disney influenced my childhood, I definitely have my criticisms on their practices as a company.
Them fighting Ronny is not one of them. I was gonna make a pun on Desantis, but I drew up blank
What they do is pass laws to make their cheating legal and therefore not cheating, while making actual honest competition illegal, and therefore cheating. The game is easy when it’s rigged.
Why does he consider it cheating? Now hopefully facebook will fuck it up, as well, so they loose money and user base.
I’m just over here on Mastodon just straight chilling.
