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.

This thread is focusing on whether he's right, even while being a shithead. The problem IMO is not whether he's right or not, it's what his 'plans' are if the world moves in the direction he starts nudging. Guy's a psycho edgelord pro-fascist with Bond villain tendencies, but he's surfed on trends to carve monopolies before... Idk
If I had to guess, he'd try to find a business selling enterprise supported distributions of Linux, buy them, then try to expand/convert them to develop "consumer Linux". He'd advertise it as getting out from under the thumb of evil corps (ie his competitors), then as soon as it gains even a modicum of traction start implementing privacy violating shit, ads, whatever, to enshittify it as quickly as possible for a quick buck.

Even a broken clock is correct once a day.
Could be twice if it's a 12 hour clock and doesn't mark am/pm.
so a regular analog clock. which is why the saying is actually "twice a day" not "once".
I still maintain the correct version if the saying is a "stopped" clock. A clock can be broken in other ways that make it almost never right.
Also I'm not sure analog clocks should be considered "regular" at this point. If seems like they're mostly decorative items now, and most actual timekeeping is done with clocks in phones and computers.

Introducing TeslOS! The world's first full self-driving OS for desktops!
This announcement would be a week after CryptOS imploded beautifully
Every once in a while, a squirrel finds a nut. This doesn't make Musk some kind of Urskek philosopher -sage.
he makes everything seem less cool.
He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.
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
