It's a free world. If people want to go on Facebook (monthly active users 3bn) rather than the Irish Examiner (circulation 23,387) they can do so or visa versa.
This is mostly just a rant without any argument to support the headline. I am more or less aligned with the author but I don’t think it is inappropriate to flag it as unlikely to lead to good discussion here.
Coupled with an inbound fascist administration that's howling for blood and revenge against the Democratic establishment, this (somewhat reluctantly) strikes me as a sensible reason to issue a pardon.
All of these words that I wish I could have put in the same order, but I can't because I'm not a good writer. Fully agree 100%. Just a man after my own heart. And like the article says, everything that I know about these yutzes has been against my will and I wish I could wipe my mind free of them.
Traditional media billionaires made the world worse too. It's just power changing hands, without tech-bro we would have something-else-bro pooping on our heads as we always had. Let's not be naives.
it's such false power though, the politicians don't realize we can regulate the shit out of big tech and reallocate the money to more noble causes and google and facebook and all the other "tech" companies that aren't doing much but sitting on monopolies will be just fine. They don't need 1/100th of the capital they have to provide the service they do to society.
First, huge general agreement. The cringe of these people has gone right off the charts since Trump demonstrated how to distract from real crimes by saying heinous shit.
Second, a couple tiny points:
1. "Musk speaks like a man who believes his own insane conspiratorial guff" because's he's a con artist. Speaking with confidence is core to the con; always has been.
2. Bryan isn't known for using "electric shocks" on his little Johnson. They're acoustic shocks; so put the TENS machine back in the closet.
The more he talks on subjects that people are actually knowledgeable on the more people realize he is a
con artist. Looking at his recent paying for ranking on games just to get gamer cred shows.

This should not have been flagged.
This is you HN. If you want to get mad because you don't like what's in the mirror, that's on us/you.

Not mentioned: gratitude that tech CEOs’ vapidity keeps journalists employed.

I'm bewildered how things changed so fast. Big Tech was conservative public enemy number 1 just a couple years ago. And vice-versa.
So now what? Will Democrats start cozying up to the oil oligarchs? Sounds ridiculous, but ... do they have a choice?
No, because Democrats tend to have principles.
Have you not seen Harris' campaign ads? They did a full 180 on immigration, gun rights to ponder to more conservative voters.
Those ads were so incongruent, they got featured on one of post-election "Daily Show" episodes.
..until proven inconvenient when exercising raw power.
Anyone want to renege on his word to pardon his son?
Let's not forget that the Hunter Biden prosecution was a vicious, lie-filled witch hunt from the start: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexander-smirnov-pleads-guilty...

Why do we need qualify every piece of tech journalism with a "Yeah but...the media..."

Id say it’s tough to call elon musk a con artist. Many other names might apply but that one not so much.
The more he talks on subjects that people are actually knowledgeable on the more people realize he is a con artist. Looking at his recent paying for ranking on games just to get gamer cred shows.
I mean thats a majority of the population and most executives.
Con artist is possibly the most inaccurate title for him thats all. Clearly he has built and delivered multifold.
So if you do 1 thing correctly and use your popularity to con about other things that does not make you a con artist?
one of THE biggest con-artists to ever live (but also maybe just a good salesman of vaporware…)
