more concerning is that he has the mental maturity of a five year old. If CEOs pressing the nuclear missile buttons in the Fallout series seemed like an exaggeration, look at Elon and think again.

Vault Tec starting the war was by far the most realistic part of the story. Even when it was revealed in the games, long before the series, my reaction was "Duh".

[-] mistermanko@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

According to the games it was China that started the Great War. In the TV series, they hinted at plans of VaulTec to profit off of their vaults with starting off the war with a first strike.

HINTED? They flat out SHOWED it happening!

Yeah I was gonna say... I remember playing that DLC set in Alaska (or like a simulation of the battle that took place in Alaska?) where they talk about China striking first.

That DLC was dope.

Chinese stealth suit baby!

[-] Hugin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

The war was VaulTec's intended plan and they arranged for China to launch the first strike.

Horizon Zero Dawn did a really good study on the ego of a tech billionaire.

What if he is not mentally a 5 year old but people keep letting him do what he wants and he is trying to keep pushing that envelope.

Him acting like a 5 year old and getting away with it is also on society imo.

If Biden was the communist smooth brained conservatives think he is, he'd nationalize Tesla and SpaceX and send Musk to the gulag.

Immigrants, amirite?

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

This is conjecture but don't Teslas record everything around them. Couldn't that be a form of distributed surveillance/botnet or something?

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 15 points 2 weeks ago

Possibly. Nothing is open source so we don't really know what they're doing.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's even more terrifying.

There are privacy options to opt in to this, but it's not on by default.

Assuming you can trust the options anyway.

Edit: I do think it will share the video in the event of an accident or vehicle break in though even when not opted in.

[-] stormeuh@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Even if Tesla itself doesn't do that, it's something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera's (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

The company "flock safety" operates license plate cameras across the country. They allow any subscribing law enforcement agency to access all of the data. I believe this includes agencies in foreign countries.

It’s how Elongated Muskrat spreads his dumbass conspiracy theories.

Elongated Muskrat posts an obviously fake picture of something that dumbasses will latch on to with no second thought “Concerning” or “This needs to be looked at”

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I know

He sometimes boosts misinformation by commenting '?' or '!'.

Haha! I had forgotten about the emoji. He’s such a fucking loser.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago

And if he ever tries to screw over the country by threatening US national security or blackmailing over it, I hope the relevant 3 letter agencies come knocking on his door one night, whisking him away to a place nobody will ever see him again.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, nationalize his shit right out from under him, draft his executives and explain to them the terms Chain of Command and UCMJ. That's the kind of thing billionaires are actually afraid of.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ooh, we wanna take him to Guantanamo Take him there fast Where he'll get tortured slow That's where we want him to go Way down to Guantanamo

[-] ryper@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

He's rich enough to get several warnings before someone maybe considers bringing charges against him.

[-] Mannimarco@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Looking into this
