Elon Musk Continues To Amuse Himself On Twitter, Sharing Song, Duck Emoji (billboard.com)
Yesterday Billboard magazine reported that Elon Musk had dropped a rap song on SoundCloud -- an auto-tuned song called "RIP Harambe."
Posted under the handle Emo G Records, the two-minute track pays tribute to the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla who was killed in 2016 after a 3-year-old climbed into its living area. It's unclear if Musk stumbled upon the track, which has his name on it, or if he released the track himself...
"RIP Harambe" had more than 200,000 plays as of Sunday afternoon.
Some Twitter users left bemused replies, like "Dude, sober up by Thursday's contempt hearing." But the song appears to be part of a longer series of tweets. An anonymous reader writes: On Friday Musk had shared a blank tweet containing nothing but an emoji of a duck with his 25.5 million followers. It drew over 24,000 re-tweets, and 4,300 comments -- far more than the Harambe song (which drew only 14,000 retweets and 1,600 comments.) "Duck emoji FTW," Musk tweeted triumphantly on Sunday, following up on his earlier observation that "Duck emoji defeats Emo G Records. Crushing victory."
In its comments there was also a joke about X.com (the original online banking site Musk launched in 1999, which was eventually merged into PayPal). In 2017 Musk repurchased the domain because "it has great sentimental value" -- but replaced it with an entirely blank page with one lowercase x. In response to the duck emoji, someone tweeted that next Musk needed to update X.com.
Musk promptly replied by tweeting the URL x.com/x -- which (due to the site's error-handling) pulls up a web page with a single lowercase y.

I really like the early April Fool's joke where Slashdot is pretending to be TMZ. Most excellent!
I pay this zero attention and am a better person for it.
I always thought it was a jab off the old "dont act white" mentality.
Soon though
La la la la la la la laaaaaaaah
"acting white" in your estimation means acting like punkass nazi faggots who need their necks broken? Ok... We have ropes specifically for that, Trump traitors. No need to get our hands dirty on your inbred incel greasy faggot shit.
(Btw, black people called, you need to come get your mom off their collective dicks... she's been stuck for years!)
FYI... you inbred Republican trash faggots are literally the lowest on the "white" totem pole, lol. Enjoy your place at the very bottom of society, where you belong.
This is the one time it is not racist to wish someone would just go back to Africa.
Sadly, if he did go back, Africans would most likely say...
Wow. First slavery, then the triangle trade, then resource colonialism... and now THIS! Damn! We cannot catch a break!
I remember all too well when no one gave a fuck on the internet. You have to wonder what happened to kids that someone shoved sticks up their asses.
This is slashdot, there's no requirement to read a damn thing before commenting. Zero attention.
SEC contempt case is not strong. "Must pre screen all tweets" was the original demand, it was redlined and negotiated and taken out. So it is clear Tesla never agreed to pre screen ALL tweets. SEC seems to be under the impression there should be a standing panel with some board members and appointees to screen the tweets. Tesla seems to be thinking, if Elon agrees not to treat anything material, not tweet anything during trading hours, there is no need to pre screen, just a post screen to issue clarification before trading resumes.
The particular tweet seems to be very immaterial, not much to hang its coat on. If this is the most material breach they have found, SEC has nothing. Looks like it is just a pretext to show that there is no standing panel, no real process to pre screen tweets. Court can rule for either party, but not likely to punish Tesla much. Elon has not made a market moving tweet since funding secured. So SEC got what it wanted.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
That's just because of, like, your privilege man.
It is very clear the pent up demand of people who booked years ago willing to buy higher trims have been fully sated. By 19Q2 around the world all people willing to pay high priced versions would have bought them. Going forward it needs to sell the lower priced versions to generate the cash it needs to develop the truck and bring to production the Y, the semi and the roadster2.
Is there enough demand for the 35K version? Are there enough gross margins to pay down the debt and pay for new facilities? Indications are they definitely have a positive margin on the low end version. It is marginal or is it substantial in the 15% to 20% range? That is the question.

Meanwhile the fans are planning a Eleventh Tesla Death Anniversary Celebration. The link has all the previous predictions of death of tesla. Interesting chronology.

The problem with the Tesla is that the CEO is broken. A 50 year old guy who thinks he is 16 years old and is burning the candle on both ends. He will be probably be dead in a decade.
I miss the internet before the trolls left their bridges.
I don't
Twitter has officially jumped the shark. It's all downhill from here...

DRM is like antifreeze, to the MPAA/RIAA it's sweet, to the consumers it's poison.
Fuck you.
This has got to be the best April Fool's joke yet for 2019. Where do they come up with this stuff? It's hilarious. rotfl
Meanwhile there is competition for space X, I'm pretty sure you'll see the only socialist satellite launch a couple weeks top from now I just don't know if the first stage will have one, two or three dual chamber engines (thus two, four or six big visible exhaust nozzles).
Humanity may show you Mr Musk that revolution can be done on Earth not just on Mars or around the Sun.
Even when your browser renders the latest emojis as hexadecimal digits in a square.
I'm paying zero attention right now. I'm watching a subtitled anime while posting this.
For exactly the same reason that some white people smell like stool: a medical issue affecting the bowel.
Wikipedia's summary of Mr. Musk's ventures doesn't appear to list anything related to health care.
I don't even participate with Twitter at all, but frankly I'd rather see random nonsense Tweets from Musk all day long than have to put up with even one from Orange Julious Caesar and his disappointingly bad case of Digital Tourettes Syndrome.
Musk had a choice. He could have fought the SEC or settled with them. He chose to settle. Part of his agreement was his tweets would be vetted. All other CEOs are responsible in this way and do not post material public statements. Only Musk thinks he is special. His free speech rights have not been infringed in any way.
You are an idiot.
Go back to shit posting your white nazi republikkkan faggot jail spam.
You looked smarter then.

Seriously people, loosen up. The dude is basically the coolest innovator in the world, he can do whatever the fuck he pleases, and I'll be OK with that, as long as we get to Mars in 10 years. Elon, if you're reading this, make a Tesla electric bicycle. I have cash on the ready.
The robots.txt for x.com is just the letter 'y'. That gave me a chuckle.
Hey 140MuskDick262JamInMyAnus, it's hard to take your numbers seriously when you can't decide whether you paid "50k" or "55k" for your fictitious Tesla Model 3.
Whether Musk chose to fight the SEC at the time or settle is of no consequence. Freedom of speech is an inalienable right. The government can not take away his, or anyone else's right to free speech. Nor can Musk sign away his right to free speech. Inalienable rights are, by definition, incapable of being surrendered or transferred.
Other CEOs voluntarily self-restrict their speech because they are conformists (much like you). Musk is clearly a non-conformist. In that sense, Musk IS special.
How the fuck is their a duck emoji in a blank Tweet? Give your head a shake.
Cincinnati Zoo gorilla who was killed in 2016 after a 3-year-old climbed into its living area. ... albeit extremely strong and heavy. Why could they not shot a tranquilizer?
Well, I can agree that one would prefer the life of a three year old over a mere gorilla.
However Gorillas are very peaceful creatures
