Musk has been incredibly reckless with his "Full Self-Driving" rollout for Tesla, now he's taking the concerns people have about that and trying to misdirect it to the AI chatbots that currently *aren't* killing people.

to IBM failing to migrate their own email service to new servers?

Whoever tries to patent a vaccine should be shot. They will be ransoming millions of lives.

I have a strong feeling you're not going to agree with me but I'm going to give it a shot: this is politics.

If they were actually trying to convince Microsoft to open source their older operating systems, there are good, reasonable arguments available: "Why not open source the win9x/winME codebase since no businesses use it anymore? Look how the doom and quake source codes have flourished! Look at VS code! Why would you keep archivists on staff to prevent this stuff from getting lost when you could upload it to the internet and it would live forever?"

However, they're not trying to convince Microsoft of anything, they're trying to score political points. "Oh that operating system you're retiring? It sure would be a shame if you open sourced it and let the public maintain it."

So the dig they are talking about is near the end of the article FSF says "by the way microsoft are pieces of shit" - it's not a plea to Microsoft, it's them preaching to the choir.

With the amount of lawyers involved in this case I gotta imagine that will be one of the arguments they put forward.

Journalists: "Nobody wants to pay for real journalism anymore!" Also journalists:"We will vigorously defend our right to publish a news story without any verification that is also a hoax"

"I don't give a shit what happens. I want you all to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover up or anything else, if it'll save it, save this plan. That's the whole point. We're going to protect our people if we can." -- Nixon, Statement to Haldeman, in tapes ordered released for the trial of Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Mitchell

Fermentation gives off CO2, I think it would be damn near impossible to fuel the process using CO2

Bloomberg ran an article titled Elon Musk's Funding for Tesla Wasn't So Secure where they pointed out when Musk said "funding is secured" there was no actual agreement in place. His statement being factually untrue risked causing this SEC investigation.

So the great thing about taking your company public is that you get to deal with members of the public owning your company.

I feel like any smart investor would have seen Zuckerberg being dragged up in front of congress and known that big changes were afoot for the de facto leader of social media.

So what's the basis for the lawsuit - facebook leadership didn't disclose they were in trouble? They just did disclose they're in trouble, that's why the stock price crashed and why you're angry. Hope the investor has some good evidence for the court because this suit seems frivolous.
