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

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 11 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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).

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.

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.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 minutes ago

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 on society imo.

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 20 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

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

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”

I know

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