I really appreciate Linus trying to tone down the nastiness in his replies over the years, but I'd be willing to let almost anything slide if it means getting a proper, old-school Torvalds tear-down of Musk.
I like Elon musk (bring me your down votes).He may be billionaire or drag queen or whatever but he does what he wants even beyond loosing everything, he doesn’t give a fuck . Somehow he is authentic. Other billionaires are like rats fearing not loosing a single penny . Electric cars? I love them. Rockets , I played with them when I was kid. A shitty truck ? Yeah I will do it. Buying shit twitter and make my own, yeah why not. I know there are people and countries that are struggling to get food and this guy is doing that, but considering the shitload of extreme and irrational capitalism, have to highlight at least this.
All the childish stuff he does aside, if that wasn't enough, my problem with him is that he's actively promoting fascist and undermining the working class.
This mother fucker has all the money in the world and he's not content to do the kid dream stuff you describe, he's actively helping fascist spread misinformation and is actively fighting against good wages and conditions for the working class.
So yea, fuck Elon and pretty much all of the rest of the billionaires.
This is true, but Elon is actively helping facism. He actively supports fascism. Why did he compared a Jewish Billionaire to some Jewish comic villain? Why does he Actively support the AfD(German extreme Right wing party(that wants to deportate "foreigners" to some African state))? There are more examples, but this are the two I immediately thougjt of.
I don't allow lunix in my house because it's an illegal hacker operation system. I can't believe an American hero like Elon would endorse something invented by the notorious Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
I think you are probably right in a way... Remember how android started as a weird Linux kernel (supposedly, rumors ran around at the time)? But today android is a piece of shit that everyone is enslaved on, and Linux still rules. That's because you can't be a dumbass windows user and just become a Linux user overnight. Well I guess it takes like 5 minutes to install, but you might end up frustrated staring at a screen. There's lots to learn before you can get comfortable. Else android....or like me, Ubuntu. Sorry to Linux, but Ubuntu is where I gave up trying to recompile X for the 200th time.
It has been getting a lot of attention the past few years thanks to the enshittification of Windows and Linux being able to run on anything. Also, now it's very usable, even for newer hardware, which wasn't always the case.
