It’s hilarious how everyone acts like Elon is personally involved in each suspension decision

But at least they stopped saying "Its a private company, they can do what they want!"

So Musk's PAC is now under investigation by the Michigan secretary of state for potential violations: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/04/elon-musk-pac-investigated-michigan.html

A political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk is being investigated by the Michigan secretary of state’s office amid efforts to collect voter data.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has said he created and helped fund the America PAC, which is supporting former President Donald Trump. Musk has a net worth of over $225 billion, according to Forbes.

The committee has been acquiring detailed voter information from those living in Michigan and other battleground states after people submit their personal data through a section on the PAC’s website that says “register to vote.”
After clicking on the “register to vote” tab on America PAC’s website, users in states like Michigan can submit a ZIP code, address and phone number. People with a Michigan address are brought to a page that says “thank you” and asks users to “complete the form below” to help wrap up the voter registration process. As of Sunday afternoon, though, there was no other form to complete below the words “thank you.”
“Every citizen should know exactly how their personal information is being used by PACs, especially if an entity is claiming it will help people register to vote in Michigan or any other state,” a spokeswoman for the Michigan secretary of state’s office said in a statement to CNBC.
“While the America PAC is a federal political action committee, the Department is reviewing their activities to determine if there have been any violations of state law. We will refer potential violations to the Michigan Attorney General’s office as appropriate,” the spokeswoman added.
CNBC first reported on the group’s efforts and how the site does not directly register people to vote for those with an address in a swing state.

A person with direct knowledge of the PAC’s operations told CNBC that, at one point since the group registered with the Federal Election Commission in May, the links on the website were functioning properly — but admits now they’re not.
The group is planning to launch a new website in the coming weeks, this person explained. The person declined to be named in order to speak freely about private matters.
A spokesman for the America PAC declined to comment. Musk did not return emails seeking comment.
Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, is Michigan’s secretary of state and the lead election official in the state. She has been a vocal opponent of election-related misinformation and taken on such statements made by former President Donald Trump.
The Republican National Committee has sued Benson and other Michigan Democrats at least twice this year, according to legal records.

Unclear if any laws broken​

It’s unclear if any laws in Michigan have been broken by the America PAC.
Barbara McQuade, who once served as a U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, was not convinced that the the PAC was necessarily breaking any state laws. “I am not aware of any laws being broken,” McQuade said in an email on Sunday.
Mary Massaron, a partner at law firm Plunkett Cooney, raised concerns in an email to CNBC, but did not say whether the PAC could have broken state laws.
“It is very troubling for any candidate or PAC funded project to deliberately fail to provide information or a link to register to vote when someone asks because they would potentially vote for the opposing candidates,” Massaron said in an email.

Last I checked, civil wars consist of two or more conflicting factions within one country. Europe isn't a country. Maybe he means the EU... but that's an economic union.

Elon’s tranny kid has talked some more shit about him. It does make me laugh how it happened on Threads and so may as well not have happened at all in terms of how many people will see it.

Elon Musk's transgender daughter Vivian shares slew of juicy gossip and insults about her estranged dad in social media rant​

Elon Musk's estranged trans daughter has branded him a 'serial adulterer' in a wild post to social media.

Vivian Wilson, 20, posted on X's arch viral site Threads, owned by Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, calling her father out on a number of issues.

Wilson described the Tesla CEO as not being christian, claimed he didn't care about climate change and was lying about his Mars colonization program.

She also called him out over a number of discrimination cases filed against the SpaceX boss and claimed he once described Arabic as 'the language of the enemy'.

Wilson said: 'I understand your new angle is this 'western values/christian family man' thing but it’s such a weird choice.'

She continued: 'You are not a family man, you are a serial adulterer who won’t stop f****** lying about your own children.

'You are not a christian, as far as I’m aware you’ve never stepped foot in a church. You are not some 'bastion for equality/progress'.

'You called Arabic the 'language of the enemy' when I was 6, have been sued for discrimination multiple times, and are from Apartheid South Africa.'

Wilson added: 'You are not 'saving the planet', you do not give a f*** about climate change and you’re lying about multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse, and because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready Player One.

'I would mention the birth rate stuff, but I am not touching that weird 14-words breeder shit with a ten foot pole.

'You single-handedly disillusioned me with how gullible we are as a species because somehow people keep believing you for reasons that continue to evade me.'

The South African billionaire has fathered a reported 12 children over last 22 years and has spoken publicly about his view that the world is underpopulated.

He had his kids with three different women, Canadian author Justine Wilson, the mother of Vivian, musician Grimes and his employee, Shivon Zilis. His youngest child, with Zilis, was born in 2024.

In March of this year, his company Tesla settled a long running lawsuit by a Black former factory worker who claimed he was subjected to severe racial harassment.

Former elevator operator at the company's California assembly plant Owen Diaz received an undisclosed settlement from his former employer.

In his lawsuit filed in 2017, Diaz said African American employees at the factory, were regularly subjected to racist epithets and derogatory imagery.

A jury awarded $3.2 million in damages last year, while another in 2021 awarded him $137 million, one of the largest verdicts ever in a discrimination case involving a single worker.

But a judge found that the verdict was excessive and ordered a second trial after Diaz refused a lowered award of $15 million.

Diaz claimed that when he worked at the plant he was subjected to racial slurs, scrawled swastikas and other racist conduct, and that Tesla ignored his complaints.

Tesla faces similar claims of tolerating race bias at the plant in a pending class action which involves 6,000 workers. The company has denied wrongdoing in those cases.

Vivian and Musk have been engaged in a war of words with each other on socials after Musk said he was tricked into Wilson being allowed to go on puberty blockers.

Referring to Wilson with male pronouns and by her birth name, Musk claimed that his 'son' had been 'killed by the woke mind virus'.

Wilson pushed back on this last month, challenging a tweet from her father in which he claimed that she was born 'gay and slightly autistic'.

Musk said he had known from a young age that she was gay, saying she 'would pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell it was fabulous' and loved musicals.

Wilson shot down his claims saying her father had made them up as he wasn't around her as a child.

She claims that Musk would relentlessly harass her for her 'femininity and queerness'.

Vivian also added that she was legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and that her father was 'determined for attention and validation'.

The father and daughter have long had a contentious relationship, with Musk having called her a 'communist' who thinks 'anyone rich is evil'.

In his interview, Musk called what happened to him and his family 'evil', saying: 'I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys.

'This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. I was told Xavier might commit suicide.'

When asked about gender dysphoria, he added: 'It's incredibly evil and I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison.

'I was tricked into doing this. It wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs.

'I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason they call it 'deadnaming' is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.'

Deadnaming is what transgender people typically refer to others calling them by the name they went by before they began to transition.

Musk said that his right-wing awakening has been spurred on by this process and the trickery he claims was played upon him.

'I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that and we're making some progress,' he said.

Wilson legally changed her gender to female and her name from 'Xavier' to Vivian Jenna Wilson in 2022, while revealing in court filings she 'no longer wishes to be related' to Musk 'in any way'.

Vivian filed the petition just three days after her 18th birthday, though the court documents weren't made public until the day after Fathers Day.

Vivian reportedly came out as transgender via text to her aunt when she was 16, but implored her to keep her gender identity from her father.

Lolsuit incoming! Now Musk, through X, is accusing advertisers of organizing a "boycott" against his service...after he told a bunch of them to fuck off lmao: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/06/...ytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

X, Owned by Elon Musk, Brings Antitrust Suit Accusing Advertisers of a Boycott​

The company claimed that members of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media coordinated to dissuade brands from advertising on X.


Reporting from San Francisco
Aug. 6, 2024
X filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, a coalition of major advertisers, claiming that it had violated antitrust laws by coordinating with brands to dissuade them from spending money on the social media platform.
The suit, filed in federal court in Texas, claims that the coalition, known as GARM, “conspired” with leading brands, including CVS, Unilever, Mars and the Danish energy company Orsted, to “collectively withhold billions of dollars in advertising revenue” that were owed to X, then known as Twitter, in the wake of Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media company in 2022.
“The illegal behavior of these organizations and their executives cost X billions of dollars,” wrote Linda Yaccarino, X’s chief executive, in an open letter to advertisers. “People are hurt when the marketplace of ideas is undermined and some viewpoints are not funded over others as part of an illegal boycott.”
With the lawsuit, X effectively declared war on advertisers, which provide the bulk of the social media company’s revenue. Since Mr. Musk acquired the company and promised to usher in a new era of unfettered free speech, many advertisers have limited their spending on X, concerned by reports of rising hate speech and misinformation there. By pursuing legal action against GARM, Mr. Musk continued to break with the leaders of other social media companies, who have forged close relationships with advertisers and been responsive to their concerns about offensive online content.

“We tried being nice for 2 years and got nothing but empty words,” Mr. Musk wrote Tuesday in a post on X. “Now, it is war.” He added in a separate post that he encouraged any company that faced a boycott to file a lawsuit.
“To the extent that Elon hadn’t already burned all bridges and ties with the entire advertising community, I don’t see how this will get any advertisers to come back to X,” said Ruben Schreurs, the chief strategy officer at Ebiquity, a marketing and media consulting firm. “It’s a last-ditch effort to force brands who don’t want to be in the cross hairs of this kind of legal action to return to the platform.”
GARM, which represents major brands that are responsible for more than 90 percent of global advertising spending, encouraged advertisers to avoid X after Mr. Musk bought it. In the wake of the takeover, 18 GARM members stopped advertising on the platform altogether, according to the lawsuit. Dozens of others reduced their spending by 70 percent or more, the filing said.
The effects on X’s revenue have been severe. In the second quarter of this year, X earned $114 million in revenue in the United States, a 25 percent decline from the first quarter and a 53 percent decline from the same period the previous year, according to internal documents obtained by The New York Times. The company aims to reach $190 million in U.S. revenue during the third quarter, bolstered by advertising associated with the Olympics, football and political campaigns, the documents said — but that target would still set X’s quarterly earnings at 25 percent less than they were last year.
Because of reduced advertiser spending, X was forced to drop the price of its ads, the lawsuit said. But even though its ads were inexpensive compared with other social media platforms, advertisers did not come back.

In the lawsuit, X argued that advertisers’ refusal to return was anticompetitive. “By refraining from purchasing advertising from X, boycotting advertisers are forgoing a valuable opportunity to purchase low-priced advertising inventory on a platform with brand safety that meets or exceeds industry standards,” the lawsuit said.
Several major brands left X or reduced their spending there after Mr. Musk restored hundreds of banned accounts and researchers documented a surge in hate speech and misinformation on the platform. To advertisers, the accusations in the lawsuit sound “so far-fetched and frankly ridiculous,” Mr. Schreurs said.
After Mr. Musk’s takeover, the company allowed its membership in GARM to lapse, but X recommitted to the coalition in July. “X is committed to the safety of our global town square and proud to be part of the GARM community,” the company said in a statement that month.
In July, the House Judiciary Committee, led by Representative Jim Jordan, a Republican of Ohio, released a report that said GARM had attempted to influence the kinds of content that appeared online by “starving disfavored content, or even entire platforms, of advertising dollars needed to survive.” And last week, the committee expanded its inquiry into GARM’s activities, sending letters to more than 40 member companies that asked them to preserve documents and answer questions about their relationship with the group.
“This limitation on competition and consumer choice is likely illegal under the antitrust laws and threatens fundamental American freedoms.” said Russell Dye, a spokesman for Mr. Jordan. “The committee will continue its investigation into the companies that participate in this conduct to inform potential legislative reforms.”

GARM did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Representatives for CVS, Unilever, Mars and Orsted also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Rumble, a right-leaning video platform, also filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against GARM and several advertising agencies that had recommended their clients refrain from advertising on the service. “The brand safety standards set by advertisers and their ad agencies should succeed or fail in the marketplace on their own merits and not through the coercive exercise of market power,” Rumble said in its complaint.
Mr. Musk has long had a tempestuous relationship with X’s advertisers. Last year at The New York Times DealBook Summit, he accused advertisers of trying to “blackmail” him by pulling their advertising from X after he endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory online. Mr. Musk told brands, “Don’t advertise,” and used an expletive several times to emphasize his point.
Mr. Musk singled out Robert A. Iger, the chief executive of Disney, which was a major advertiser on X at the time. Mr. Iger had said the company’s association with “Elon Musk and X was not necessarily a positive one for us.”
In June, Mr. Musk appeared onstage at Cannes Lions, an advertising festival, to say his comments at the DealBook conference had been addressed not to “advertisers as a whole” but just to those who attempted to interfere with what is allowed on X.

“Advertisers have a right to appear next to content they find compatible with their brands,” Mr. Musk said. “What is not cool is insisting that there can be no content that they disagree with on the platform.”
Mr. Musk has made a habit of taking legal action against X’s critics, particularly when their critique hurts the company’s revenue. Last year, X sued the Center for Countering Digital Hate, or C.C.D.H., which documented a rise of hate speech on the social media platform after Mr. Musk’s takeover. X also sued Media Matters, an advocacy organization, in November, after it published research showing that ads on X appeared next to antisemitic content.
A federal judge dismissed the case against C.C.D.H. in March, ruling that the lawsuit was an attempt to penalize the group for speaking negatively about the company, and that its work was protected under the law. X is appealing the decision. A trial in the Media Matters case is set for 2025.
Mr. Musk has also used the courts to stymie his competitors. This week, he revived a lawsuit against OpenAI, the maker of the A.I. chatbot ChatGPT, claiming that the company and two of its founders breached its founding contract by putting commercial interests ahead of the public good. Mr. Musk is the owner of xAI, which makes a competing chatbot called Grok.

Elon insults advertisers and tells them to fuck off, and implements retarded features no one but his dedicated dickriders like.

Yet it is still a mystery to him why advertisers would leave him.

What she’s saying mostly rings true if you’ve read any of his biography. What’s retarded is she’s raking him over the coals for not being a Christian when I don’t believe he has ever claimed to be.

PL regarding SpaceX, but, I happen to work in assembly adjacent to a department that builds for them, and I constantly hear how their engineers (who are apparently young kids fresh out of school with no practical experience) ask certain processes to be performed on parts that are inappropriate to the task (read: impossible, since oftentimes the requested operation would just break the part, or they're asking for a literal square peg/round hole situation to be magicked up). From what I understand, there is a veteran engineer they have on retainer that sadly gets ignored most of the time, and he apparently just sighs when their frankensteined builds wind up at his desk for review. I can only imagine this is also the case for facilities that are not po-dunk middle-of-nowhere operations like ours.

 

[The Hardest R]

I know a bunch of current and former Tesla engineers and managers and it’s an extreme pressure cooker situation there. Most people burn out after a few months but Tesla still has a lot of cachet in various engineering fields so you put in your time in Tesla for a few months and find a much better job at the end of it because you have Tesla on your resume. It’s very inefficient to have that kind of turnover but Elon is a retard that hates the color of safety vests so I’m guessing things aren’t going to be changing there anytime soon.

That is called destructive testing, as opposed to non-destructive (NDT) testing- X-rays, Brinnell hardness etc.

PL regarding (redacted), manufacturer supplied 1 plunger for a compressor, destroyed 5 others proving the part was up to spec. Expensive, but so is downtime/maintenance in industrial plants.

Destroying widgets for the sake of it, is a waste of resources obvs.

I'm not certain that's what they're doing with these parts lol. They're ordering them by the dozen, and they're dressed up a little more than the mockups that I'm used to seeing sent out for some of the military prototype builds. But, then, I don't work their department so maybe that's just normal for them. I would assume they'd look a little trashier if their intent was just to stress test them (of course goes without saying I can't actually get photos of any of this lol)
