Because apparently he fired everyone who knew how to automatically disable it for people who weren't paying, I guess?Not only that, but if you DO have it turned on and don't turn it off in time, you'll straight up lose access to your account. (Honestly, the app-based method is better, but this screams "We can't afford the SMS bills anymore unless you're paying too.")
One of Scott Adams’s fans on Twitter is the chief twit himself, Elon Musk. The billionaire and self-professed free-speech crusader has engaged with Adams on the platform before, but he did more than just come to the cartoonist’s defense over the weekend. He tweeted and deleted a Twitter reply regarding the newspaper backlash to Adams in which he wondered, “What exactly are they complaining about?” Then, in a pair of tweet replies, Musk alleged that “the media is racist,” adding that:
For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians. Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America. Maybe they can try not being racist.
You know, most CEOs would at least PRETEND to feel bad about firing thousands of people, and then they'd say it's "unfortunate but necessary" or something to that effect. But Musk can't hide the fact that he enjoyed firing all those people. He likes to hurt people to make himself feel powerful, just like Trump or any other bully.
Tad hypocritical of him given how his 'autopilot' works. Frankly "I don't see AI helping us make cars any time soon, At that point ... there's no point in any of us working." SHOULD be the goal of automation. Allow people to follow their passions instead of forcing them to do a job they hate just to put food in their bellies and a roof over their head. Granted, to hit that goal, eventually we'd have to drop capitalism and switch to some other economic system. That's what he's actually scared of, loosing his power as part of the capitalist class.
