    Elon Musk faces Brazil inquiry after defying X court order
    Multibillionaire called for resignation of judge who ordered platform to block far-right users

    “We cannot live in a society in which billionaires domiciled abroad have control of social networks and put themselves in a position to violate the rule of law, failing to comply with court orders and threatening our authorities,” said the federal solicitor general, Jorge Messias. “Social peace is non-negotiable.”

    Elon Musk says X will reinstate Alex Jones’s account after poll of users
    Rightwing conspiracy theorist was banned from platform in 2018, but could be back after 2m votes cast

    “The people have spoken and so it shall be,” Musk posted in reply to a poll on Saturday on whether to reinstate the Jones account. Close to 2m votes were cast by the time the poll closed, with about 70% voting in favour of Jones’s return.

    I don't get why people rub their hands hoping for Elon to constantly fail. Don't get me wrong, he's a bit of a dick (understatement) but fuck, it's not like Twitter was any better before he took over. His uncovering's of FBI and CIA internal wranglings was unexpected, but also expected. As for Tesla, would we have had the insurgence of electric vehicles without Tesla pushing for it? Who knows? And who knows whether electric vehicles are the way forward? I'm just happy to see someone fuck with the industry and advocate some kind of change.

    I don't care who the cunt of the moment is, but it's surely in all our interests to not get pulled into the constant hate machine known as the internet.

    • nothing but envysted
    • and the other is that there are goals that everyone knows are completely stupid, but he still pursues them as if those are in the interest of all humanitysted
    • yeah, going to mars is daft.Ianbolton

    It appears Twitter 2.0 has suspended the @ElonJet Twitter account.

    @ElonJet would regularly post the flight path/current location of Elon's private jet (using publicly available information)

    A month ago Musk said his not banning the @ElonJet account was an example of his commitment to free speech.

    I feel sort of cheated even Trump got a user poll on his account status.

    Anyhoo that other Billionaire still hosts an ElonJet account on his obscure website...

    Copied from a tweet:

    Starting today (Thursday) remote work is not an option at Twitter: all employees are expected to be 40 hours in the office. Only exceptions are for those physically unable to travel to an office or exceptions signed off by Elon.

    The email telling people what will change from Thursday was sent out late Wednesday (just before midnight). At New Twitter, expect things to change last minute and get with it.

    Ironically, in Europe, it’s already Thursday working hours.

    The ignorance on Europe is especially telling. People got this email after starting their working day - working remote. They cannot reach managers to clarify if this applies for today: most managers are in the US, unreachable (they also need sleep!).

    ________________________________...

    - exceptions are signed off by Elon?!? Hahahaha you might think a CEO of multiple large tech companies would have more important things to do than HR paperwork. But I guess not, this is his priority today!

    - sent out right before midnight Thursday. Hope you figured out childcare, transportation, how to access the building, security protocols, etc all between the hours of midnight and 8am

    Tesla and EVs are cool but the best thing you can do for the environment is not drive a car.

    Assuming you must drive, the second best thing you can do?
