"If you bought a Tesla rated for 353 miles on a charge, but the dashboard range predictor told you that your fully charged car could only go 150 miles, you'd immediately figure something was up. So your Telsa tells another lie: the range predictor tells you that you can go 353 miles."

Elon Musk’s Unmatched Power in the Stars

The tech billionaire has become the dominant power in satellite internet technology. The ways he is wielding that influence are raising global alarms.

"When Musk attempted to scrub the bird logo from the building, local police arrived at the scene after receiving 911 calls that the sign’s removal was stopping two lanes of traffic at a busy intersection and workers didn’t have a permit. When police arrived at the scene, they noted it was unsafe for pedestrians because the workers hadn’t set up sidewalk tape to protect passersby from falling debris. Workers were ordered to immediately stop removing the Twitter sign, leaving just an “er” on the building. "

No permit, no safety tape or cordoning off the ground area... I wonder about the safety of his rockets. Just a big, "Er...?"

should be plenty of safety tape in S.F., since they don't use it to cordon off poop, needles and derelicts
on the streets.

He could afford to invest himself in the city. Build some bathrooms, pay for street cleaning, lobby for humane rental profits.

noun: derelicts (plural)
1. a person without a home, job, or property

As of July 2023, the average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in San Francisco, CA is $2,995. Minimum wage in SF just went up to $18.07/hr, less 20% withholding, approximate a net monthly of $2500. If there is shit on the street, maybe it is because vulnerable people have no home or bathroom, and nobody can afford to take the job to clean it up and maintain a household. It is a broken model for a city.

Legislating earnings allows real estate corporations to carry on raising rents. Reasonable profit on rentals has been far exceeded, and it is having a huge impact. When will the problem be approached by limiting that? Employers are burdened with maintaining rental profits. People with jobs are unhoused.

While we're talking Teslas, three more people burned to death in theirs, bringing the total up to 73 fatalities in 204 fires with ~4 million total built.

Note the Ford Pinto, whose fire problems led to court cases that changed the way the automobile industry treated safety and liability, killed 29 people in 10 years with over 3 million manufactured.

X is "the platform with the largest ratio of mis- or disinformation posts," Jourova said.

An email to the company's press team seeking comment resulted in an automatically generated reply that said, "Busy now, please check back later."

New Twitter/X CEO interviewed

"At this week’s Code 2023 — a prestigious Kara Swisher-led conference held by Vox Media in Dana Point, Calif. — [CEO] Yaccarino’s performance made for a completely congruent match between substance and style. Which is to say: She said little of substance, and did so in a halting and seemingly confused style..."

"Over a bizarre and rambling 40 minutes, Yaccarino, a media executive hired away from NBCUniversal earlier this year, made very little clear, but for one thing. Those who hope that X, formerly known as Twitter, somehow has a bright future ahead of it have less reason to feel confident with Yaccarino in charge."

Musk has faced criticism over the spread of Russian propaganda on X, with a separate report from the European Commission finding that changes made to the site's safety policies have helped spread false information about the war in Ukraine.

To properly understand this saga, you have to go all the way back to 2016 when Musk was traveling on a SpaceX corporate jet. According to reports, a contract flight attendant on the flight had been been encouraged by her superiors to become licensed as a massage therapist so she could give Musk massages while in flight. She did, and during one massage, she alleged in a subsequent complaint, he exposed his erect penis to her, rubbed her leg without permission, and offered to buy her a horse if she would "do more." She refused--and soon found her hours cut back.

That might have been the end of the story, but in 2022, Insider learned about and reported on the agreement. Musk's response was to deny it ever happened (leaving open the question of why his company would pay to silence a baseless claim). He joked about it on Twitter, crowing that "Finally we get to use Elongate as a scandal name. It's kinda perfect."
