Not if you are running it locally, offline, like everyone is, right?
Right?
This is super important. I'll take the risk of the first over the nihilism of the second.

Weird formatting of my response here. Im using the Reich post as an example of gaslighting.

Quoted from @DefiyantlyFree: "Tesla paid no income tax because there are (a) accelerated depreciation rules for companies that make massive investments in assets (b) tax breaks related to executive stock options and (c) tax credits for EVs which were championed by [the Democrat] party.
Tesla employs 125,000 people. If you take 70,000 as an average salary for said employees that’s a payroll of 8.8 billion dollars.
So Telsa paid around 673 million on their behalf into social security and Medicare.
Oh and Musk personally paid 11 billion dollars in taxes last year.
Facts without proper context are propaganda."
Tesla is investing billions around to world for EV charging, infrastructure, battery deployment, driving down unit costs, and lithium refining. Plowing profits back into the company (rather than giving back to shareholders or compensation for C-level) is a positive thing. I'd rather have Elon deciding where to invest the profits from his companies than the Govt.
GM to the bots on X.
Strangest winter ever.
Get up get up get up get up.
I notice that I check Nostr much less frequently than X (although I'm on X much less these days). Because I only get updates when the people I follow post, the rhythm is more natural, more human, rather than the constant flow of algo-generated content.
WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THIS.
Why do I follow Tottenham. This is stupid.
Lift the weights.
Here are five key takeaways from the discussion about Elon Musk's alleged Nazi salute, drawing from the provided source:
* Subjectivity in Information: It is important to recognize that there is no truly unbiased source of information, and all presentations of facts are influenced by subjective choices. This means that when consuming information, it's crucial to be aware of potential biases and how they might shape the narrative. The speaker, for example, acknowledges their own bias due to their positive view of Elon Musk.
* Importance of Primary Sources: The discussion emphasizes the need to prioritize primary sources over secondary sources. This means seeking out direct, unedited content and perspectives, rather than relying solely on interpretations or summaries from media outlets or commentators. For example, the speaker suggests listening directly to Alice Weidel, the leader of the AfD party, rather than relying on media portrayals of her and the party.
* Emotionality vs. Logic: The analysis highlights an inverse relationship between emotionality and logic. Highly emotional arguments should be viewed with skepticism, as those making them may be more focused on feeling vindicated than on verifying their beliefs. This is exemplified by the discussion of AOC's reaction to the ADL's statement.
* Confirmation Bias and Intellectual Humility: The discussion stresses the need to be aware of confirmation bias, the tendency to seek out information that confirms existing beliefs. Overcoming this bias requires intellectual humility and curiosity, which means being open to questioning one's own assumptions and being willing to consider alternative perspectives. For example, the source suggests that people convinced that Trump is a fascist, and therefore Elon is by association, are not willing to listen to the opposite side of the argument.
* Leadership and Impact: Even if Elon Musk did not intend to make a Nazi salute, the source suggests he could have demonstrated better leadership by acknowledging how his gesture might have been perceived. This highlights a difference between intent and impact, where leaders should take into account how their actions are perceived and not just what their intentions were.
