Quoting one of the people taken least seriously in Silicon Valley w/out context to his role as a cheerleading beta to the alphas is malpractice. “Refuse to pay the game by their rules” are called laws, which is too complex a concept for this minion.

When underground hip hop producers bring that Kara Swisher like fire statement. And the first reply to it for the 80s kids.

"A majority of Americans" is a stretch. And getting stretchier by the week.

adityasharma.bsky.social•32 days ago

Move fast and break things doesn’t work when it can grind a country of 330m to a halt. Like these assholes have never been part of a ship room or release process for their own companies.

Tells you all you need to know about how technical they are.

Kara, gentle request: it really would help a lot if you’d use alt text. It includes more people, amplifies your message - and shows up in search.

Managing the nation's nuclear weapons enterprise is a whole lot different than coding Nip Alert.

Not a game not a majority

mattmaggard.com•32 days ago

They want the world to work like when uber launched, wasn’t always legal, but consumers liked it so much that municipalities changed their laws.

This time they are just going to break things and the public will not be on their side

You really need to promote your interview with Erza Klein. It's so clarifying.

edgeor.bsky.social•32 days ago

Every article about the trump or musk minions eventually ends with pointing out crimes they committed in the past. Usually sexual assault or fraud. A bunch of "how dare you" entitled dipshits looking for revenge.

whpshw.bsky.social•32 days ago

What journalists need to start doing is calling this what it is - it’s anti-American. These ppl don’t care about the values of this country. They just see this as a place to make heaps of money. The minute the US regulates/taxes them appropriately, they’ll relocate. They have zero patriotism.

Used to like #pivotpodcast but now just out of touch with what’s going on TODAY!

We are getting run over by TRUMP MUSK GOP DAILY and you think the courts will stop them 😂😂 MAGA laughs at the courts!

Stop being boomers and push for real people protesting and physically stopping these fascists.

Looks like all this tech libertarians are Nazis in sheep fur. I never believed them but I had a lot of friends that fell for them because they seemed progressive.

highestbitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Trump and Musk are both deranged megalomaniacs who think laws dont apply to them.

highestbitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’m seeing a pattern here….
**Elon Musk’s Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink’s Contracts in Ukraine
- Trump/Musk shutter USAID

** SpaceX go after National Labor Relations Board
- Trump guts NLRB,

** Musk has publicly clashed with the FAA and its former chief, Michael Whitaker

highestbitter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Blow up Republicans, majority leaders Mike Johnson & John Thune’s phones:
-USAID
-Elon
-Threatening federal workers
-Outing CIA agents, forcing out FBI
-Gutting of federal infrastructure
-Aiding China & Russia
- Your concerns
-Call White House also
-Call Republicans in your state
RAISE SOME CAIN!

thisgrayarea.bsky.social•32 days ago

Kara, I respect your work and world view. Your Burn Book was my favorite read of 2024. I consider you to be thoughtful, articulate, and consciously aware, thus not as susceptible to fall in line with expectations that we all just tolerate bullsh*t without calling it out for what it is.

thisgrayarea.bsky.social•32 days ago

It is because I believe the attitude and direction of your heart is aligned with the best intrest of humanity that I would very much like to be interviewed by you. I have some things to say that people should hear and an offering to present that others may consider worthy to take on.

thisgrayarea.bsky.social•32 days ago

Please consider sharing in a conversation with me about the radical re-visioning of what America looks like down two very different paths. That of MAGA and that of Well-Faring Stewardship.

I appreciate you.

Be well

thisgrayarea.bsky.social•32 days ago

Their end goal is clearly eradication of any vestige of democracy&obliteration of any foothold to equality

I am not ok with this outcome

Majority of people are not behind this. Its just that these parasitic elites only listen to&platform&legitimize those whom mutually reinforce corrupt power plays

patrickpoll.bsky.social•32 days ago

The driving force is not technology it is greed

vangeloni.bsky.social•32 days ago

Although some of the things Musk is doing are possibly illegal, nothing will happen to him. Trump will pardon. But big hit to image.

justksmith.bsky.social•32 days ago

Backward thinking. Idiots pretending to be useful, ignoring the constitution, doesn't take us forward.

I love that he doesn’t ever consider what government is FOR, just that it’s a system to disrupt.

saltpeter123.bsky.social•31 days ago

The Tech Bros of today are like the Train Bros of the 19th century. Both made wealth off property/intellectual property from the government but didn’t want to pay taxes or allow the government to provide basic oversight or impose regulations on their business practices

iezraandrews.bsky.social•31 days ago

His actions of deconstruction show no understanding the function and purpose of the agencies they want to dismantle, but more so shows that the philosophy is worth more than the empirical evidence of the value of those agencies. These fools don’t care about history, they want to undo it.

jakedotworld.bsky.social•32 days ago

Can't believe this dope began his monolog by paraphrasing Littlefinger. These people are sad as fuck.

adityasharma.bsky.social•32 days ago

They want to be cool but they’re just losers who have not had to bear the consequences of their fuck ups in a long time if ever. When their outlandish ideas fail they layoff people and keep on going like nothing happened.

independent56.bsky.social•32 days ago

Proceed until apprehended. Anything/anybody in the way be damned. Well-being/safety/security of citizens/stakeholders be damned. The objective of one butt hurt, egomaniacal man is all that matters. The glee in inflicting pain is sickening.

cmkomoroski.bsky.social•32 days ago

Online has posited Elon thinks he’s finally winning daddy’s love by preventing the US from duplicating the failure of apartheid in South Africa.

avaghy.bsky.social•32 days ago

The tech mindset works for products we don’t need to work correctly all the time, The government is NOT a business or technology. It doesn’t need to constantly innovate or make a profit. It needs to help meet our basic needs and keep up safe.

nofolly.bsky.social•31 days ago

And by the way, NOT backed by a "majority of Americans", a slim plurality at best

jaredwhite.com•32 days ago

Everything in that quoted excerpt is scary AF.

marieww.bsky.social•32 days ago

The decades of Silicon Valley “disrupt then innovate” exploded in the TechBros faces but they are STILL gonna try it in DC? SMDH.

soundguydave.bsky.social•32 days ago

Someone doesn’t know how to calculate a majority.

filipvanevski.bsky.social•32 days ago

Mediocre charlatans have become quite adept at using chaos/ disruption to cloak their failings and misdirect from what's actually going on, which you can expect to be a grift transferring money from people who earned it to somebody who didn't.

Wait, I forget if I was writing about Tesla or the US.

mwayne2.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is an example of the pot calling the kettle black. And Pishevar, like so many of his ilk, think it's a badge of honor to just break everything that isn't broken, just for the sake of showing how much of a "man" they are.

grumpyliberal.bsky.social•32 days ago

Musk hasn’t innovated shit. He resurrected a dead idea — the first electric car was built in 1907. He bought a well established social media company which he enshitified. And he builds rockets that the government research dollars subsidized. He’s a con just like the Don.

ringtheory.bsky.social•32 days ago

It'd be nice to get the Democratic Party Musk fanbois educated while we're at it.
Important missing alt-text:
"...Meaningful reform is needed, and Mr. Musk certainly has the background and experience to help accomplish these goals."

Every time these dorks say a majority of Americans voted for Cheeto should be immediately slapped in the face and should be forced to return whatever engineering or STEM degree they have.

23% of 'Murricans voted for Cheeto.

Slapped. Every time. Same for when MAGA says Cheeto has a mandate.

Did you ever imagine the lyrics of Behind 💙👀, by Who? And then listen to them playing it to Trump at the Jennedy Center. Just try it.

Alt text: A screenshot of a text excerpt discussing investor Shervin Pishevar’s comments on Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Pishevar states that chaos can lead to new systems and paradigms and criticizes Washington's inability to handle those who don't follow its rules. (1 of 2)

tokyopoetryclub.bsky.social•32 days ago

Alt text (cont): He compares Musk and Trump as two different forces of disruption—one political, one technological—both challenging the existing structure. The excerpt also mentions DOGE’s early technology-driven directives and their impact on federal bureaucracy and Trump’s second term. (2 of 2)

tokyopoetryclub.bsky.social•32 days ago

The passage is from an article titled "In chaotic Washington blitz, Elon Musk's ultimate goal becomes clear," published by The Washington Post on February 8, 2025. The article was written by Jeff Stein, Elizabeth Dwoskin, Hannah Natanson, and Jonathan O'Connell.

tokyopoetryclub.bsky.social•32 days ago

The passage includes a quote from Shervin Pishevar, a longtime friend of Musk, discussing the disruptive impact of Musk and Trump on existing structures. The article delves into Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and its implications for the federal bureaucracy during Trump's second term.

wholetree.bsky.social•32 days ago

...just wait until the tech-bro dickheads learn that pissed off citizens of this nation will refuse to "play the game by THIER rules." Civil disobedience is the order moving forward.
