    Does anyone have good ideas for how they can prove it?

    I'm really interested to see the evidence in this. Did the owner notice it and then record distance with an independent method-gps or similar? Or record a video along a known journey showing the odometer overcounting? It's gonna be hard to prove any other way.

  3. Quid pro quo . Apartheid, Elon bankrolls Trump’s digital empire, and SpaceX gets $525M more—even after safety violations. Congress is now probing whether he’s exploiting NASA to pump DOGE and enrich himself. This is government for sale. #ElonGate #Trump #corruption www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-na...

  8. Seems like Elon had a botched penis enlargement surgery which really explains his shift to the right 😂

  10. It's called #elongate because Elon elongated his arm.

  12. Now the #PresidentMusk is in politics, which scandal will be the first #ElonGate?

  14. If Elon Musk is accused of vote rigging how many major media outlets are going to publish just so they be the first to use the scandal name "#Elongate"?

  15. I’ve added “#Elongate” to my collection of #musk tags. Because it efficiently explains his entire operating scam in a single word.

    More spicy tags to folllow “sometime next year”

  17. @WIRED reports:

    "IBM, Disney, Lionsgate, the European Union, and, reportedly, Apple have all pulled advertising from X following Elon Musk’s apparent endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory."

    Because they suddenly found out that Twitter is a Nazi hell-hole? Are we meant to trust these companies/governments with anything if they didn't see that before?

    Can we all agree that there is NOTHING verified over there and only bought to have a "verification", that is worth a stinky burning trash can. #Twitter #TwitterX #X #ElonMusk #EgonMurks #ElonGate

    Not a #NAFO meme but right from the oven of a #NAFOmemes bakery.

    We already all know here that there's a solution to that sick blue bird. But if you know someone over there who doesn't see the solution yet you can show it now:
    (The idea is to "steal" my picture here to then tweet it over there on Twitter before you hit some obscure maximum of whatnot.)

  23. @[email protected] @[email protected] I was running a diaspora* pod for years. It was a nice little corner of the internet to avoid the cesspool. Mastodon gathered all the traction during #elongate so it has more active users. Still though, indexing your instance for searches seems a bit obvious of a thing to do. And if people don't like it they can just turn it off. That would be a win for everybody imo.

  24. I started my move to Mastodon six months before #ElonGate. It was part of my greater project "time well spent online". It started with Facebook and Instagram in 2018. I kept Reddit, where I'm taking care of a community focused around brief, but meaningful encounters for a specific subset of humans.

    One of the things that nudged me off #Twitter was the trans hate. How normalized it became, how politicized. This got me thinking of privilege and the depths of the cesspool that is Twitter.

    @WWarped The tragic thing about #ElonGate is that he’s trashing the livelihood of THOUSANDS of employees. Sorry investors, you took a risk and KNEW something like this could happen. But front line workers, engineers, techs, analysts, and others only wanted jobs and to support their families. #Elon is robbing honest coworkers of their dignity. For a jolly. A ludicrous whim.

  27. The influence of what Twitter's algorithm/AI decides to show on timelines has been talked about a lot lately. Today I witnessed it firsthand when I made an identical post on Twitter and Mastodon. Check out the fascinating difference in engagement.

    Both screenshots were taken at the same time. I have 278 more followers on Twitter than Mastodon, and the Twitter post was made 11 minutes after the Twitter post. The Tweet only had 19 views and no engagement, while the Mastodon post had 33 favorites/likes and 20 boosts/retweets.

    On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm/AI picking the most controversial posts to show on your timeline as "Alice liked this" or "Bob follows this account". If doesn't have a global search across instances, so the only posts that you see are from accounts or hashtags you follow.

    This makes content visibility and engagement much more organic. Maximum post length is set by the instance/server administrator and is usually very generous, so you can fit plenty of content and hashtags in one post, instead of making a thread.

    Because posts aren't broken up into threads of multiple posts, individual posts can't be taken out of context and abused. This also allows for the inclusion of many hashtags, which are key for discovery because Mastodon doesn't have federated search across instances/servers.

    PS3 Hacker Hired To Fix Twitter By Elon Musk Just Quit, Yikes
    kotaku.com/elon-musk-twitter-g

    > George Hotz barely lasted one month before announcing his resignation on Twitter

    I can see the hiring process.

    Musk: hey kid, I'm told you're good with the computers, I have a website that needs some fixes.

    Hotz: but I'm a hardware hacker, not a web-developer…

    Musk: yes, exactly, good with the computers. here's some pocket money.

  30. So let me get this straight: Elmo is looking for someone who is even more of a fool than he is, and finding it difficult to find them?

    🤔

  31. Tesla, jetzt müsst ihr auf Gewinne verzichten und billiger verkaufen.

    Aber wer sollte dann kaufen?
    - Rechte und Konserven bestimmt nicht, bei denen braucht sich Elon nicht weiter einschleimen.

    Schade, waren eigentlich gute Autos.
