What the fuck is this shit

Billionaires are so worried about us tracking their private jets, as if this isn't just a minor way to shame them for how much fuel they're burning. They act like The Haters are out here with a bunch of surface-to-air missiles ready to shoot their Gulfstream G650, callsign N628TS, currently parked at Hamad International Airport, in Doha, Qatar, out of the sky.

Which is ridiculous. Do you know how hard it is to get or build surface to air missiles? They're not exactly sold on Amazon, and even a basic heat-seeker guidance system is difficult to build because the thermal cameras used are very restricted in their civilian versions.

Not to mention the fact that it's the kind of attack that only works once, before every billionaire is scared off using their private jets. So you've got to be sure it'll work. Meaning you need to do a lot of testing. Rockets are expensive and difficult to reuse, so that costs a ton of money. Who can afford to launch a bunch of prototype surface to air missiles against drone planes? Not me, that's for sure. And unless you're planning to fight a full in war with these things, anyone with enough money to develop one is probably gonna get more bang for their buck by just hiring some assassins. I don't know how much it costs to have one rich guy shot, but I bet it's way less than what developing a DIY heat-seeker would cost.

But yeah. The real "danger" to ElMu and his like is that people will mock them online because it's publicly known that after talking about "staying at the Twitter HQ until the organization is fixed", he flew off to London and then Qatar. Maybe he'll be back for Monday? Either way, that's a lot of jet fuel.

Elon quoting the books about tech overlords getting smashed is great.

I needed more professional skills, so I started learning unreal Engine 5, and went full newgrounds ‘poorly optimised game about a current event with hamfisted politics’.

Anyways.

I made a game where you shoot Elon Musk. At time of writing it’s nine of them.

Nine Elons you can send into orbit with a silly paintball gun.

It is not released or finished yet- but you can follow/bookmark my itch.io page for when it is!

Man, think about all the normal people who aren't obsessed with Twitter and have Linktree in their bio, or run a small business and tweet things like "please follow us on Facebook!"

All things considered, I do like Twitter's "don't share other people's location" rule.

I just don't think it should apply to sharing the location of objects which are actively and knowingly broadcasting their precise location, speed, altitude, vector, rate of asc/descent, callsign, status, and other information, in compliance with a legal requirement to do so for the safety of all parties involved.

TWITTER IS A LOST CAUSE

I am going to copy most of what I wrote in my twitter pinned tweet to save time. This is long. But it detailed what was going to happen and will continue to happen. It is all very predictable. I wrote this on November 20th.

"First off, let me get something clear... it is somewhat unlikely twitter will ACTUALLY go away for good or even begin to shut down. It IS likely that the site will become buggy and annoying to use in the coming weeks and months as ... problems pile up. Trump's account being unbanned doesnt mean much in the short run because he will likely continue to use truth social... but my guess is that... come election time, when he gets desperate, he will begin using it more and more to expand his reach. Not a concern for a while.

But Elon's priorities say a LOT about the direction he wants twitter to go. Firing the people who banned Trump Unbanning babylon bee and jordan peterson (both spread transphobic bs and got banned for it). Unbanning Trump. He is currying favor with the US fascist movement.

To make matters worse, his plan to give blue checks out for cash amplifies the effects

1- right leaning voices will happily shell out the money because musk is giving what they want

2- left-leaning voices, angry with musk, will refuse We will come back to this.

Q accounts, Right wing propagandists will be parading around looking legit to people who don't know what is going on. But that's not the worst part. Going back a tweet- how i said the right would happily pay while the left would refuse?

Well, Elon plans to boost accounts that pay the 8 dollars and hide/obscure voices that do not. So those accounts that -really- want to spread hate and violence? They're gonna pay the 8 dollars. They're gonna do it. You're going to hear anti-lgbt/minority hate on full volume

Now at this point its kinda hard to predict what will happen. If liberals decide to be idiots they'll try to pay for access to argue with them. If this happens, Musk wins because they'll all be paying to fight. At which point this platform will be at it's most unbearable.

The smartest thing we can all do is let the ship sink. Elon wants to profit off chaos and madness? Give him chaos and madness, but nothing he can profit off. Do your business on other sites and troll this one.

Im not deleting this account. I am leaving it up so i can recieve DMs. Once I back up this account, Its just going to suck up resources and give them nothing. No interactions, no revenue. A complete waste."

========

Now, an update, on December 18th. Elon's approach has been even more heavy-handed and foolish than I expected. His recklessness is causing him to destroy his assets, the destruction of his assets is clearly making him continually more unwound, and that is causing him to be reckless. Its a cycle. He will probably get worse. A few important highlights

-Musk started banning journalists and competitors -no more links to other sites? -other members of the board of Tesla and investors want Elon ousted -his plan to ban links is against EU antitrust laws -he is so transparently pro-fascist that... pretty much everyone knows what he is doing. Which is helpful because it invites retaliation/reaction. Now a few things can go wrong at this point and most of them have to do with the media. If the media foolishly/shortsightedly decides to let MUSK dictate terms... they will be under his thumb for the foreseeable future. Media companies actually have all the real power though- social media is completely useless without content. Social media platforms exist... as the name suggests... as a platform for other people's media, to be shared socially. If media companies STAY they will be playing under his rules and allowing him to dictate the terms of their discourse - as will be his right (he owns the platform). This will create a situation where Musk becomes a power-dealer who dictates political discourse.

So it is VERY important people LEAVE twitter and let his investment collapse. Advertisers have already done the heavy lifting by pulling out!
