Yeah, that was yesterday. Saw a thread about it yesterday too.

Tesla got their Twitter back around 1AM my time.

Was this those dumb Buddy Bear kids? The fact that they tweeted at Keemstar makes me think that it is. Everybody seems to want to be a "hacker" and be featured by Keemstar now :/

If they brute forced the password they shouldnt of did anything and sold it on some sort of black market xD

But anyway glad it's back to normal.

nah, thats not how Elon rolls.  More likely, he will probably attempt to land the Falcon 9 first stage atop their house, and the landing attempt would "Fail" if you know what I mean...

Giving musk too much credit, he's a businessman first and foremost, nobody getting all reprehensive when Microsoft stuff is attacked, and gates does his fair share.

Tesla needs better security.

Not enough credit - is more accurate.

That would get them into deep shit. And the top shareholders would verify info instantly, probably spread news that it's a lie sooner than you think.

I don't think expensive electric cars abd space ships are quite "solutions to help the entire species"

Unless they start giving them out for free I wouldn't think it fits the moniker you give it.

Sure Musk is cool and all, but he's basically helping Californian millionaires feel better about themselves, far from saving the planet.

The tech and work he does is good, but, remember, he is in this for the money as well.

 

People worship Elon like he is another Tesla. I don't remember Elon letting people get filthy rich off of his own patents and not lifting a finger. Telsa was truly in it to benefit man-kind, Elon is in it to help while making a nice profit.

 

 

I wish these ~15 year old 'hackers' would take a chill, if you aren't going to do anything interesting besides post some stupid-ass pictures and comments, don't bother at all.

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

People who talk shit about Mr Musk....  id like to see what they have done to benefit someone OTHER than themselves or their fucking family/friends.
