      29.2 tweets a day?

      At a rate of 10,658 tweets a year, I’d hope he tweets at least one useful thing

        Tesla board member and close Musk confidant Antonio Gracias once took Musk’s phone away to prevent him from tweeting late into the night, Isaacson said during a Twitter Spaces event on Wednesday.

        “At one point when Elon was firing off tweets without filtering them in the least, they were on a trip and Antonio took his iPhone — Elon’s iPhone — and locked it in the hotel safe with Antonio punching in the code so that Elon couldn’t get up at 3 a.m. and start tweeting again,” Isaacson said, describing Gracias as “one of Elon’s closest friends.”

        Musk later got hotel security to open the safe at around 3 a.m. so he could start tweeting again, Isaacson said.

        The biographer added that Musk is “almost addicted to the drama that comes with Twitter” and sees owning Twitter as a way he can be “king of the playground.”

        “It’s something he loves — loves almost to the point of compulsion,” Isaacson said, adding that some of his friends, including his brother Kimbal Musk, attempted to convince him not to buy Twitter.

      No this dipshit just says whatever he thinks is going to be the most popular with the tech bros he is desperate to be in front of.

        It’s an expression. In this context Elon is the broken clock and saying desktops should run Linux is one of the rare times he’s been right about something.

          rare times he’s been right about something.

          Started a space company, and an EV company. Both longshots, both wildly successful.

          Bought Twitter. Laid of 80% of the employees. Still runs totally fine.

          Your position is nakedly indefensible. I’d be curious what you think he’s actually wrong about.

    These comments are insane. Even Hitler washed his hands. Are you gonna stop doing that just cause a piece of shit agreed it was good?

    Elon just tries to get approval by finding a dominate opinion among a group of people and parroting back what they say and want. Kinda obvious and pathetic.

      He’ll get sued by Apple for infringing on their OS X trademark, and he’ll invent laws claiming he’s in the right, and he’ll lose billions, and then he’ll claim he invented Linux and he’s a genius.

        I kind of want to see this go down. There are a few companies you don’t fuck with. Apple is definitely one of them. I am sure their lawyers are just as smart and soulless as Disney’s

      Unfortunately, XOS has already been taken by Infinix, a budget phone brand that primarily sells in Africa, for its own ad-riddled bloated Android skin.

    Do teslas run android, or something else? Elon encouraging the use of Linux isn’t surprising, but if his vehicles and sattelites we’rent also using Linux, I’d be more surprised.

      Huh, they actually do:

      And Matt Monson — who moved from the Dragon project to SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink — posted that Starlink uses a lot of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and that they too have a lot of experience with Linux. “For some level of scope on Starlink, each launch of 60 satellites contains more than 4,000 Linux computers. The constellation has more than 30,000 Linux nodes (and more than 6,000 microcontrollers) in space right now.
