Do you think your anecdote is more likely to be true than an insurance company putting its money where its mouth is?

1. Tesla has $40B in cash and is profitable. To say it's worth $5B is beyond absurd.

2. The market determines what is a fair value, not rando haters on the internet. Even professional Wall Street consensus is that it's fair value at approximately $1.2T market cap.

Financial repression. Make sure you have a plan

This applies to discussion too.

For instance, how many Reddit comments are bots? With the extreme groupthink present there, it wouldn't be a huge shock if it already makes up over half of the comments in popular subs.

Twitter/X has a productive approach with Community Notes. Scam ads get noted.

"under-delivering"

Delivered millions of EVs that everyone said would never work, dragging the entire car industry out of its stupor.

Delivered a vast electric charging network and made it available to the competition.

Delivered the best satellite internet.

Delivered rockets that NASA uses.

Delivered the most payload to space, more than even China.

Gee, imagine under-delivering that badly.

You're right that it's too slow.

It would help if they sent a notification to everyone who liked or interacted with such a tweet, to give them the community notes update. And or resurface it in the timeline.

Community notes is the replacement for s/moderation/censorship. It's far more truthful and accurate than any s/moderation/censorship committee. This has been repeatedly demonstrated.

Why?

It's like opting out of the genepool. Twitter/X is still where everything happens and where you get closest to the source.

Even the most vocal Spaceman haters come back whenever something big is happening. This was reaffirmed again recently with the entire OpenAI CEO saga.

Add to that community notes, the single best social media innovation.

Why does that article say Elon caved as though he's personally involved in every moderation decision. He wasn't even aware of it and sees it as a problem to be fixed.

"First I’ve heard. It is not possible for me to fix every aspect of Twitter worldwide overnight, while still running Tesla and SpaceX, among other things."

That's a salient point. Biased, uneven, nontransparent moderation was always happening with weak justification, it was just done by unaccountable people and propagandized as righteous.

Remember people getting banned for saying "learn to code", disallowing certain news links even in DMs, shadowbanning undesirables with no transparency.

If PG isn't a case of malicious enforcement by moderation and doesn't reverse this policy, he's truly lost the plot.

Now let's see if he bans and fires George Hotz, who is working at Twitter.

"Agreed that’s this is an absolutely ridiculous policy. My bio link has been a link to my Instagram since I created this Twitter. Feel free to ban me." https://twitter.com/realGeorgeHotz/status/160459789929523609...

"Btw follow me on Instagram in case I get banned here, you know how to find me

If saying that is banned, this isn’t somewhere I want to be anymore. That’s so far from free speech." https://twitter.com/realGeorgeHotz/status/160459985556060569...
