But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.
`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.
And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?
By what sort of people, though? I know two people who have a Tesla: one of them regrets owning one now (even though they bought it used), and the other’s a huge fucking pile of shit in the shape of a person.
yeah, this thread is making me realize that i’m a software-developer/tech-bro bubble
Hey, props for realizing it. Most software dev tech bros refuse to acknowledge that they’re in a bubble. Now you can start to step out of it.
not if i want to stay employed; being likeable is more important than the hard skills in my field unless i’m some sort of savant and liking the same things helps.
Sounds like a terrible way to live
it’s not great. i broke into the software development field less than 10 years ago and; ever since learning that it’s dominated by tech bros and their enablers; i’ve been trying to get back into IT ever since.
it would be A LOT easier of software developers weren’t the only jobs available for the past 6 months; but it is what it is.
