I see we're still deep in the "fuck around" stage and have yet to reach "find out."

What you find out is in proportion to how much you fuck around. You have to fuck around to innovate and do new shit. It took a lot of fucking at Tesla and SpaceX to get to where they are.

Levereged buyouts, charging for features that were free, mass layoffs, strict workplace policies are hardly innovation. They're tried and tested standard boring-ass Jack Welch business practices.

They fucked around when they were a startup. It’s not often we get to see the fuck around at this level. It’s his and he can do as he pleases which makes this more entertaining than anything I’ve ever witnessed

Fuck around and find out.....about Kessler syndrome?

(I am being glib, but this is potentially a real problem, see https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/spacexs-starlink-...)

All Starlink sats will deorbit in under 5 years if unmaintained, please get a basic understanding of orbital mechanics before repeating nonsense like this.

Edit: And shame on Scientific American for spreading the same nonsense.

Also Starlink has automated collision avoidance systems that make them even less likely to collide than most sats currently in orbit, see the comments on this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/p7c96z/spacex_starli...

Well, even though you consider it "nonsense" it was serious enough to be given consideration in their regulatory approvals.

I like how some people equate "innovate" with "break the law and make other people pay".
Re:Musk’s First Email to Twitter Staff Ends Remote Work by memish on Thursday November 10, 2022 @03:24PM (#33552750)
Do they? You're the first one I've seen who has equated those two things.

It's good that he is throwing every known bad practice that managers keep practicing on it to ensure he will find out the correct result.

But he has mixed so many stupid bullshit at this point that I expect people to refuse to learn any lesson from it, always blaming the problem at some different action.

What if the allegedly bad result doesn't ensue?

Keep prophesying that it will or quietly drop it is the usual method.

You could do the same with your snarky and unpolite comments. This is not a place for free harassment.
