says the guy understaffing an IT department
@ian
I give it two weeks before he releases a feature named TORMENT NEXUS
@kims @ian "See, in this hilarious meme, you're the ugly person saying "noooo don't create the torment nexus" and I'm the handsome guy saying "creating the torment nexus will be totally le epic bacon and get me massively undivorced", so I think that settles the argument."
@kims @ian There was once a time when I thought Musk was just a quirky dude with some awesome ideas. Now, while I fully support the mission of SpaceX, I still think Tesla can be turned around, and I see the obvious benefits of StarLink, I just find him to be a fool with way too much more money than sense. There are a hell of a lot of competent people in SpaceX to look up to; one need not admire Elon.
@audreygwinter @kims @ian mostly what they did at SpaceX was isolate him and do end runs around him so he wouldn’t fuck up their work.
@ian says a guy whose business is electric cars and rockets, makes sense that now he's interested in dinosaurs. Every 5yo boy walks this path.
@tymwol @ian Dont forget the drilling into monkeys heads to implant chips before killing them
@ian @tymwol next he will want to put them all on a train.

@spinal @ian @tymwol

“Once upon a time, there was a mom
Her name was Mrs. Pteranadon…” 🦕🦖🚂

@spinal @ian he already did plan to build tunes.
@ian Oh god, but this is his new "man on mars" scam isn't it? He's going to start a dinosaur cloning business called InGen, the media is going to breathlessly cover him saying "dinosaurs within 10 years", and he's gonna somehow soak up billions in government grants.
@ian but he spared no expense!

@ian

he would be the reason the dinosaurs go out, that's for sure 

@ian I’m team velociraptor on this one
@ian has he seen the movies? Because there has been a lot, and the rich/asshole/both always dies. It’s like the redeeming factor of the park - life, uh, finds a way.
@Teaceratops @ian although, yes, the movies are *complete* fiction; for example, there is a functioning hyperloop in one.

@Teaceratops @ian In the first, and best, movie, Hammond lives.

In the book, not so much 🙂

@ian it's a Unix operating system!
@raphink @ian It was demoware for IRIX, but it did actually exist: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsn_(file_manager)

@ian he’s such a toddler. 🙄
@ian I can't believe it took me several seconds to get the extent of the joke! 😅

@ian Which dinosaur do you think would be responsible for his abrupt exit from the movie?

My money's on a sauropod not noticing he's standing right where they're walking.

@munin @ian he would be the jerk that bullies one of the little compies and then gets swarmed.

@munin @ian

I saw there's a fossil of a raptor dinosaur that looks like it got hit with a high-pressure water cannon. The theory goes that sauropods could projectile-vomit half-digested plant material at velociraptor-breaking velocity.

Now, how do we get him to annoy a sauropod?

@ian well, he actually wants the movie to happen...
@ian Spared no expense! We even have an ice cream bar at the Torment Nexus!
@ian Didn't stop to think if we should.
@ian There are some velociraptors I'd like #ElonMusk to meet.
@ian what could possibly go wrong...
@ian oh wait, there's a whole movie franchise about what could go wrong... 🤣
@techlife @ian To be fair the Terminator franchise exists as well and he owns an AI vehicle company.
@andwhyisit @ian I bet the cars aren't crashing by accident. It's the AI testing our limits.
@techlife @ian Sadly these Dalek-powered vehicles still have issues with stairs. More research needed before project Dniknam Lla Etanimretxe can begin.
@ian i imagine him announcing this in his classic spitball way "and uh..you..you..uhm...can feed the t-rex, we'll have a..a..a...a t-rex, and you uhm can also ride one for a price, yes yes, and uhm, you can also have your DNA spliced with a dino, we'll be launching a crispr set within 6 months (while saying this, you can see all the doctors on stage look at one another in disbelief)
@ian And whose experiments on apes came under scrutiny / inspection due to horrific results which leads me to believe he’d die pretty early in a real Jurassic Park
@ian They've made, what, 6 or 7 of those movies? With each one involving an epic disaster due to massive hubris and incompetence? You'd think he'd get the message but ... no.
Jurassic Park 12: It's Dino time!

YouTube
@hfsh @ian Bwaaaahaaaaa! "I'm not gonna lie, I didn't watch this one ... " LOL
@ian "Don't get cheap on me Dodgson. That was Elon's mistake."
@ian oh my god……LMAO!!!!
@ian I nominate he gets dumped in the raptor cage.
@BecomingDiana that’s just mean, Diana. Why would you do that to the raptors?
@ian ...only if Musky gets to play the lawyer in the toilet during the T-rex scene.
@ian he spared no expense report
@ian "Look, the park continues to function even after I unplug this... aaargh!"
@ian *Sees Elon hastily screwing a false bottom on a can of shaving cream*

@ian

And not paying leases or cleaning staff. With that kind of ownership... Oh. Wait. Even with ownership that didn't seem intent on cutting corners, shit went sideways.

@ian It seems like a lot of startup founders watch dystopian sci fi movies and think "that's a great idea!"

@ian look, there are 1200 “power transformers” parkside, of which ~40 are critical to Jurassic Park working at all, according to the ride control team.

Part of today will be turning off the “electric fences” bloatware.
