    This very blatantly has no connection to Canada. It is posted in the wrong community.

    If you want to imply vocally extending a word, you repeat the last VOWEL, not then last consonant.

    It’s ‘fightiiiiing’ not ‘fightinggg’. You cant even pronounce that.

      Musks end goal was DOGE, and to break down bureaucracy in order to feed Palantir the totality of government data.

        Last I heard, at the time he was fired, he was still trying to use DOGE to extort aid-dependent countries into signing up for Starlink. Seems to me he had a lot more damage he was planning to do.

      So, I never really watched anything on YouTube until recently when I stumbled into some true crime rabbit holes and ended up finding my way there. Anyway, I kept noticing frequent audio cutouts and upon paying closer attention I realized the creators were intentionally censoring certain words (like sexual assault, suicide, rape, etc) as they found if they didn’t their videos would end up randomly removed - sometimes after weeks or even months had passed without incident- delisted (essentially) from recommendation algorithms, or simply inexplicably demonitized. This also seems to happen if certain figures are mentioned, such as (though certainly not limited to) the likes of Marilyn Monroe, suspected/known members of a variety of child trafficking and CSAM rings that operated in Europe throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s, and on, and - as you may’ve surmised by this point - Jeffery Epstein.

      Do with that what you will.

    Counterpoint. Musk was the sacrificial lamb, just like Thiel did to him at Paypal. Tesla was the most popular electric car company in the world. Their whole business model was based on reaching net zero. What if this was all done on purpose to stop adoption of electric vehicles. Fossil fuel industry is a huge player in this. Copenhagen Atomics is set to deploy their first thorium salt nuclear reactor in 2027. That plus electric cars means no need for fossil fuels. As it stands, in two generations, our planet will be basically uninhabitable due to climate change. The whole techno dystopian future big tech want with their freedom cities would be way easier to pull off, if the environment outside is totally inhospitable. Wouldn’t that make sure forced adoption of brain implants like neuralink, or Meta, or Valve’s brain chips a much easier sell? If it was that, or imminent death from exposure and air pollution. Peter Thiel is a transhumanist who believes we can ascend humanity through merging with machines.

    Curtis Yarvin said that he would virtualise non-useful people as a humane alternative to genocide. Doesn’t that make generative AI make way more sense? You don’t want to adopt the surveillance state in your head, fine, live out the rest of your life as you slowly die of dehydration and hunger. If Trump is impeached we get Vance, whose entire career was created by Thiel. It all makes too much sense. Meta are now a defense contractor, Britain has said it will rebuild its military using “outside contractors.” Palantir already have Israel and America. Big Tech want control of the world’s armies, fighting proxy wars on their behalf. Once your military requires their systems, they can turn them off if any opposes them. This is all starting to turn the gears in my head.

      Basically all car companies are focusing on EVs now, they know they are the future. Tesla is inconsequential in all this.

      Elon Musk is just a moron. He was the richest man on the planet, he could have all the power he wanted, just like all the clever billionaire oligarchs, but his pathological narcissism required an audience, so instead of manipulating things behind the scenes as they do, he stepped onto it and showed the world what a moronic asshole he is.

      I’d argue the goal was to get Palantir more government data. As it was Palantir had a huge bureaucracy around data protection, now they have everything, and xAI will inevitably be bought by Palantir as a reward to Musk from Peter Thiel.

      Nobody else in the future will be able to do the same, due to cyber security standards.
