I really wish that people had listened to us (collectively) if not when we were pointing out that Musk was union busting, then at least when he made the useless metal death tube to rescue children out of an underwater cave and accused the guy who actually got them out of being … (cw: holy fucking shit)

… a pedo
But no, years later and now people suddenly see it. Better late than never, but god damn if a lot of the damage hasn’t already been done.
I learned very quickly when I graduated with a CS degree in 2015 that every single actual engineer fucking hates him. Like everyone I met in San Jose hated him and Tesla. Except for maybe managers or executives no one with actual skill in that field respects him for anything. It’s like when he played PoE on stream and it was obvious to anyone that ever played games that he had no idea what he was doing. That’s basically how its felt for anyone that works for one of his companies or even works in a similar field. It’s been that way for us for well over a decade.
This is the difference between “Tech Bros” and people that work in Tech.
What’s your problem? The OP said they wish people turned against Musk sooner. I do too. And since you’re talking about ‘Musk branded fascism’, I assume you agree as well. So why are you being a dick?
my problem is people who chastise others over not acting sooner.
yeah, sure, ensuring Musk never got to where he is would have been great. Had we known what he was going to do now.
hindsight is a wonderful thing, but serves no other purpose in this case but to distract and perpetuate the notion that we should have acted sooner on information we didn’t have until now.
Musk is a fascist, but did ANYONE believe he was capable of doing the things he’s doing now, then?

All they said was that they wish people had listened. Thats it. The only one who’s mentioned action is you.
Musk is a fascist, but did ANYONE believe he was capable of doing the things he’s doing now, then?
Yes, because he’s always been a billionaire with no morals, he’s always treated people like shit and he’s always put money ahead of everything, even his own family members. Someone who can do those things is capable of anything.
From my point of view, the OP’s comments were broadly expressing a vibe that Musk’s popularity lasted too long; but I did not see the post as chastising anyone. Your post, on the other hand, was a direct attack. I don’t think that was helpful in any way.
I can at least now understand why you didn’t like the OP’s comment, but I still think what you said was out of order.
just because someone calls out bullshit behavior that you agree with doesn’t make them a troll.
if I was a troll I’d ask some incendiary question like, "how can you breathe-- ohhhh…
it was an incendiary rhetorical question, but that’s only because they’re saying we should have done something sooner because of information we didn’t have until recently.
that’s like saying someone should have stopped Hitler because we all know he was a bad guy, now.

I’m surprised you can breathe in that ivory tower. the air must be really thin.
so, what did you do outside of an arm chair to stop the spread of Musk branded fascism?

GreenKnight23 is a troll. Block and move on with your life, secure in the knowledge that this block will result in nothing of value will be missed.
how’d you get that idea?
