Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

It’s not a closed system from an ownership point of view. Anyone with a Tesla can charge anywhere else too.

It’s closed to the outside (not true at all locations actually anymore) but then it’s not free to charge so the price reflects whatever the capital costs are. You have to remember that superchargers were once completely free.

Either way I’m not all that fussed as I’ll get nowhere on here. I’m defending the disruptor which has challenged the status quo.

I’m just not overly excited by defending or promoting companies that exist to count profits and spend their R&D budgets on paying fines for cheating emissions tests.

Missus bought Tesla Model X against my better judgement but car won me over..it's brilliant. Makes our ICE car seem like a relic. Remember the press recieve no money from Tesla but are funded by the other manufacturers so they will print bad shit about Tesla and big up the rest..

I drove a Model X about 2-3 years ago as a weekend rental (was supposed to get a Model S). It was our first time trying an EV and it's what turned me to Tesla and the Model 3 which was the only Tesla in my price range. The X was incredible to drive and we only used superchargers for the weekend which got us from the North West to London and back without any problems.

How do you find the gullwing doors? I thought they were a gimmick at first but try getting a kids car seat better into any other car! I have no idea why other car manufacturers haven't done the same thing. The only downside to the X is it's absolutely massive.

Obviously there is a huge price difference between an X and a 3 which is reflected in virtually all areas but my 3 isn't that far off hitting the same experience. In hindsight I'm starting to wish I bought a Model Y now that the price has dropped but nevermind.

I also considered a Kia EV6 but that's now more expensive than a Model 3 and Y and the standard colour is red, no thanks!

Anti-vaxxers and autism causation have gone together like bread and butter for, like, ever. I don’t think the hate is on the latter but the former.

No one has has claimed covid vaccines cause autism, ever. It was a lazy and discriminatory insult.

Correct. It's a well known "link" due to MMR controversy. And also intended to be absurd humour.

"Hate" is a strong word, I don't hate antivaxxers in general, I pity them.
 
On the original point of him buying Twitter, today I;ve become increasingly razzed off with it -

I use Tweetcaster - a third party Twitter client but better (for me) than the original Twitter app for my android phone.

Today, it stopped working - uninstalled, reinstalled, downloaded another couple of third party clients, neither of them worked.

Googled the issue and Elon Musk has disabled third party clients working with Twitter.

Now, not the end of the world, but another case of him attempting domination at the expense of, well, anyone and everyone
