Actually, Elmo didn’t found Tesla.
Didn’t he in fact sue the actual founders to be allowed to be called a founder?
I thought he paid extra to be able to tell that lie.
I asked grok and it said he did. It also said earth was cylindrical.
Elon musk didn’t found tesla. He’s also an idiot nepo baby, not a visionary.
Elon to my knowledge hasn’t been the founder of a single project he’s been part of. He’s bought everything.
Elon is not the founder of Tesla. He sued the actual founders to bury that fact.
Gives musk too much credit

I don’t think Linus Thorvalds is either very stylish or really an asshole. He might be a bit short fused, but not an asshole.
I think he’s an asshole¹ but he’s not nearly on the same level as Elmo or any other billionaire. Between actually working and contributing, not being as hardcore exploitative capitalist, and not having nearly the same level of hoarded wealth², there’s just far less potential for assholery.
1: Mind, I still value his work, but the way he sometimes treats people reaches into asshole territory for me.
2: A superficial search suggests a net worth of $50 million. In perspective, that’s $0.05 billion, compared to the late Jobs’ $10.8 billion (0.5%) or Musk’s ~$400 billion (0.01%)Eh, he’d probably agree that he is a bit of an asshole.
He’s definitely a bit of an asshole. I appreciate his propensity to talk shit to people, I enjoy that myself, but he equates intelligence with technical skill and tells people they just need a thicker skin if they don’t like his abuse.
Oh my God is Linux pronounced Line-ux?
That’s how I used to say it decades ago when it was one of those “I have only ever read it” words.
It’s probably because I knew the name Linus from Peanuts / Charlie Brown, and in that they pronounce it “Lie-nuss.” So back then I said “Lie-nux.” When I first heard it as “Linn-nix” it sounded not just wrong but less cool.
But between having watched videos of Torvalds speak, and knowing a handful of Finland’s neighbors (Swedes) the correct pronunciation of “Linn-nix” is the only way I even think of it in my head now.
For me, the I is longer and the u more european as well. Like the u in pugs. More like “Leen-ux”
Thats at least how we say it in Germany. But in english i usally speak it with a short ‘I’
Musk bought it not founded it. There needs to be a whole nother column
Fixed it with some that should be there and a melon put where he should be
I was hoping this would happen
I would have figured the three Linuses would have been like:
-
Enthusiastic loud mouthed young Linus arguing with Tannenbaum.
-
Aggressive Linus with no filter at all slapping maintainers upside the head.
-
Aggressive Elder Linus with a personal insult filter applied still slapping maintainers upside the head.
-
