My end goal is to build a car that can drive to mars. Therefore I am actually building cars to mars
We're in such a stupid hellworld that I very seriously say there's a small but plausible chance he might.
Elon!!! Don't listen to the naysayers - you absolutely should start a phone manufacturing company. It'll be epic.
remember when Bezos tried this and it failed in just over a year?

fire phone? I didn’t know Amazon was behind the Samsung note 7
Zucc's total pivot into VR/AR is entirely because he learned the hard way that breaking into the smartphone market this late isn't happening and the only possible long term strategy left was a hail mary bet on what the next hardware platform will be
He's not even wrong about it
Well yea, he's not wrong about it. He's just not execute it properly
Which is lucky for the world. Him insisting that his robot ass has to be the face of VR alone probably halves the chance that 'Meta' will succeed
His idea about vr isn't bad, but the problem this day when talk about vr to peoples, it's usually tie to gaming. Peoples have short attention span, which is short video platform like tiktok so popular, even then bytedance still venture into e-commerce business. Using vr for other than gaming is too far fetch right now, don't think it will work and with him as the face, after those scandal, lmao good luck
it's actually fuckin insane how static the "dynamism" of post-internet capitalism has become. like anti-competition is so fundamental to the current system that these megacorps that have more money than most nations are unable to develop laterally and where we used to get new crises accompanying new developments now we get no developments and new crises that are just old crises at a larger scale.
Nooooooo Elon, please don't blow your fortune trying to make the next iphone, it would own the woke left so bad. Please don't own us
44 billions would probably have been better spent reselling rebranded linux phones
Probably not a good idea anyways, but better than the twitter thing
honestly respect to gabe newell
im sure hes done shitty things to get money but the guy likes video games and he also likes linux so the compatibility layer is really useful. probably one of the more useful things a single minded billionaire on a bent has done. now we gotta convince him that giving his money away to poor people will be great for linux
We all know what he really needs to do:
Drop Half Life 3 exclusive for linux
Either HL3 dropping exclusively on Linux or Microsoft forcing a switch to Windows 11 will force me to switch to Linux permanently - whichever happens first (probably windows 11 :doomer: :windows-cool: )
Imagine it, he breaks smartphones like he's breaking Twitter. We would soon be free.
:anprim-pat:
"I will make"
You will throw money at people who will know how to command the immiserated masses who will be compelled to slap together the raw materials into the industrial apparatus this would require.
Freedom Phone already beat him to it. And to those who don't know, it's just a cheap Alibaba phone with a pre existing android operating system. The best part is he advertises it as a way to escape Facebook and Twitter, yet encourages people to review it on those same platforms :data-laughing:
Uncancellable App Store
:freedom-and-democracy:
also extremely weird that the logo for the OS is on the back of the phone
this guy is going to spend all his money trying to own the libs isn't he
And I'm here for it. I can't wait what dumpster fire he'll create then dive head first into next
there's no way a new OS could penetrate the market, he is lying to generate hype and media attention
he is lying to generate hype and media attention
:astronaut-1:
fuck yes. would love to see musky sink an absurd amount of money into an android phone that can't access the play store. Remember those fuckin amazon fire phones? With the 3ds-style polarised screens? Of course you don't, nobody does
dear apple and Android, you are nitpicking and biased therefore I win bye bye
