Does everyone in software do this?: "They didn't have anything made when they told the founder of MITS they had, though, so Gates says they "coded day and night for the two months to create the software we had said already existed.""

Is this like, a known strategy? And if you're not the kind of person who it even occurs to to say something like that, then are you just gonna lose the contract every time?

#tesla is absolutely screwed.

Their stock was at about 268 at closing last night.

In less than 24 hours it has dropped to 239 or so last I checked right before writing this at 2:53.

29 dollars in a day is MASSIVE. Most companies aren't valued at 29 a stock.

Also the EU is likely fining X a BILLION for #disinformation laws.

CEOs are also losing billions in #tech as the market crashes, like #jeffbezos.

#elonmusk must be sweating.

Yeah, I have to admit, this doesn't come to me with any surprise.
#Microsoft has contracts with #military and military contractors, therefor it shouldn't be surprising, that any #tech in their #portfolio is open for sale, especially the dual-use ones. 😕

What surprised me in the last weeks, that #arabic family clans in #Gaza protested loud enough against Hamas, that (at least first) Al Jazeera ignored it, while international outlets seemed to pick it up.
But the #worst in my humble opinion that I didn't notice any loud response out of the other Arabic countries to support these protests, yet. I think this is equally irresponsible, as it looks like the definition of "collateral damage" the IDF takes into account on the behalf of the #israel government.

This whole #shitshow there is straining my tolerance for ambiguity to the max.
