why does everyone keep comparing government to for-profit businesses?



In this instance Twitter was essentially acting like a branch of the government pushing certain narratives and agendas.

I'll with ya. I'll plead my general ignorance of what most professions outside of coding are responsible for. R&D? Debugging old code? Maintaining servers? The only paths I see in the tech industry are creating software, maintaining that software, improving that software or doing the same for the hardware the software runs on.

Of course that excludes manicuring content to affect social change and governance.

The weird thing is that these leftists are taking such a personal offense to changes to Twitter that it makes it obvious they thought it was only supposed to be a propaganda machine for liberals.

I've seen you post insane, off-the-wall shite completely unrelated to the subject in multiple threads today. I'd highly suggest you put the phone down, close the browser, and go for a walk (or stop whatever substance you're on).

Just finished a Lex Fridman podcast where his guest is Andrej Karpathy. He’s considered one of the most brilliant AI minds on earth.

Idk anything about his politics or his feelings towards Elon the person.

But he said at Tesla Elon is unreal at maximizing efficiency and getting rid of bloat with regards to processes and specific programming tasks and shite. Down to tiny issues with complicated software program stuff. He said Elon is obsessed with completely getting rid of something that is inefficient, rather than keep it.

After listening to this guy, I have to think Musk knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.

ETA: And this genius AI programmer guy seems to think Elon knows WAY more about coding than what is coming out on Twitter from these fired software engineers.

I honestly couldn't figure out what he was going for there, I haven't said shite about vaccines or transfusions.

Dude's gonna figure out how to run Twitter with a couple of hundred engineers, and it will make the rest of Big Tech companies go, "Never thought that was possible", isn't he?


like really think about it... once the code to twiter was written..... it doesnt take an army to maintain it.

Of course have an R/D division but they didnt need 6500 employees to maintain a website except to silence a certain group of people.

Has Elon ever done anything without making money as the end game? He sees the bloat and waste and is eliminating it.
Dude has been hyper successful in securing government contracts to grow and develop Tesla and SpaceX.

He’s also so tied to and leveraged by China that I am surprised some of you all support him like you do.

Prior to the first round of Elon's staff cuts (Elonimations), Twitter had around 7,500 employees. My guess would be that a brunt of that were content moderators (and their hierarchy) and marketing. Having that many writing code for such a straight-forward platform would be like trying to herd cats by throwing firecrackers amongst them.
