The quote from that biography is "It seemed that Musk...." - Using the phrase "Musk admitted" Is quite directly a lie.
The admission was never part of the original biography, nor the source article this is linking to. It was specifically added by the tooter, and was completely unnecessary.
Apparently today I'm that poor person. Now I just feel like a rube.
Elon Musk admitted
I'm not saying it isn't true, but I'm not seeing any quote from him or link to an interview or anything. Just assertions from third parties of what his motives "seem" to be.
When you lie about shit like this, it undermines valid criticisms and makes anyone actually reading the original article question the trustworthiness of the source.
The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. It was all about fueling opposition to California's high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.
That is a blurb that doesn't resort to lies, and gets the same exact point across, without YOU looking like a liar.
You don't need to lie about monsters to make them look bad. Just show facts about their monstrous actions.
If you're spreading lies, regardless of intent, you're part of the problem, not the solution.
IPFS (or similar tech) is the only sustainable solution for media hosting on federated platforms.
Permanence is important - old posts with dead media links is bad for society IMO - but we can't expect volunteer instance admins to be held responsible for something as complex and expensive as permanent media hosting.
Can anyone confirm whether or not it's built on Electron?
The closest I can find is from Feb 2023, saying that at that time it would not be Electron:
Mozilla also still plans to use the Firefox web browser as the core platform for Thunderbird. That leaves Thunderbird as one of the few cross-platform mail applications that isn’t an Electron app or based on web technologies in some way
So possibly Electron-like but based on Firefox rather than Chromium?
Just wait until the "targeted ad" bubble pops because people realize it's all a fraudulently inflated market with little to no true value.
There will be wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
The mad lady is also pointing with her thumb, which is surprisingly off-putting. And I love how the sleeve melds into the arm, that's fashionable.
