I shouldn't laugh at this, because it's indicative of the stupidity-driven slow-drain fall civilization is experiencing, but I read dave's post here on another thread:
The three links embedded in the second sentence are hilarious on one hand -- because the people writing them were serious and not parody -- but at the same time not funny when you think about how much people may actually be buying this should-be-parody as real life.
So, an informal poll just regarding that first link:
Raise your hand (indicated with a reply in this thread) if you would describe the statement My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci as "blatantly transphobic."
Quick follow-up question if you're raising your hand: On a scale of 1-10, how bad -- how detrimental to society -- is it for someone to say "My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci?" (When answering, disregard the Fauci element of it - this question is only in regards to the apparent "transphobic-ness" of the statement.)
Thank you in advance.
People Are Canceling Tesla Orders Because They're So Disgusted With Elon Musk — Futurism
Tanking the Brand It's not just Tesla investors who are at their wit's end with CEO Elon Musk, who has been making a huge mess of his disastrous Twitter takeover and spreading baseless conspiracy theories on the platform. Even the company's customers are becoming wary of being in any way...apple.news
His personality is absolutely tanking the Tesla brand," a biotech exec whose Model S lease is almost up told CNET. "I'm looking forward to having an Elon-free existence."
The report highlights the degree to which Musk's antics — which have involved making blatantly transphobic comments, spreading misinformation, and banning journalists for breaking vague and quickly reversed new policies — are having a real-world effect on Tesla's reputation.
"I don't want to support a company or anyone who acts that way," another Model 3 lessee, who cancelled his order for a new Tesla, told the publication.
Where this kind of tarnishing of a once revered brand leaves the company remains to be seen. Musk has a lot of damage control to do in the coming weeks or months as he looks for a CEO to take over operations at Twitter.
