Every time I see the title of this thread when browsing, it makes me giggle.

FX is very mad that Musk, despite being the richest individual in the world, can't actually bully the most valuable company in the world into doing whatever he wants. Musk's $200 billion isn't enough to buy a company worth over $2 trillion.

As for the many legitimate complaints to have about Apple, well, we have had plenty of discussions of those. But we know that's not what makes you mad about Tim Cook, because you don't give a shit about these issues except when attacking people who are your enemies for other reasons.

I would certainly be interested in hearing any of FX's evidence that Musk cares any more about workers' rights in China or elsewhere than Apple does.

I mean, maybe I'll be surprised, but I doubt that a union-buster whose companies are accused of discriminating against black employees and putting them all in one department they call the "plantation" (Reuters story about the lawsuit) is some kind of champion of the oppressed. But you're welcome to find us some articles about Tesla's stellar labor record in their Chinese operations.

Elon Musk praises Chinese workers for ‘burning the 3am oil’ – here’s what that really looks like | Elon Musk | The Guardian.

Human rights champion and free speech absolutist Elmo Musk!

Quote:
In April, Tesla restricted its Shanghai workers from leaving the factory under a so-called “closed-loop” system originally developed by Chinese authorities to contain Beijing Olympics participants. While locked inside, the workers were reportedly made to work 12-hour shifts, six days in a row, and to sleep on factory floors. Production at the plant was forced to halt this week due to parts shortages, the company said.

Labor rights and safety violations have been reported at Tesla’s Shanghai factory since it opened in 2018, with some workers making as little as $1,500 a month in what an investigation by local journalists called the “Giga-sweatshop.”

On the other hand you can soon let him implant a chip into your brain!

Musk says brain chip to begin human trials soon – and plans to get one himself | Elon Musk | The Guardian

Quote:
Elon Musk said on Wednesday he expects a brain chip developed by his health tech company to begin human trials in the next six months.

During a presentation by Musk’s company Neuralink, Musk gave updates on the company’s wireless brain chip. In addition to forecasting clinical trials, Musk said he plans to get one of the chips himself.

I saw an ad on teevee this morning that features a black Santa Claus. If South African Jesus gets wind of that, the Douchenozzlists will have something new to be triggered and snowflakey about.

While he was indeed voiced by a black man on American Dad! (the soulful Charles Bradley), Krampus is not only not real, but not even human.

I'm sorry to have to break it to you, there is no Santa Klause, just as there is no Krampus.

It's just your parents, as usual, telling you shit that is not true.

Okay, so you're seriously stupid.

Look: Captain Ahab and Moby Dick are both equally made up, not real, imaginary creations. But, nevertheless, one of them is human despite both being fictional.

So: "X is not only not real, X is not even human" is true when X is a member of {Moby Dick, Krampus} and false when {X is a member of {Santa Clause, Ahab}
