Anna wrote that in the 1970s a military technology was developed whose usefulness for ordinary citizens was questionable. Today, GPS is widespread in smartphones, drones, and watches; without GPS, in her opinion, one can hardly find their way home. She contrasted this with the question of why Elon needs a rocket car. https://t.co/f2PXEeuZCv #Technologie #Innovation #GPS (translated)

TeslaXander wrote that a cultural change is visible at Tesla: While the world evolves, he believes the Germans are regressing. He accused them of placing rules and obedience over freedom and innovation and exchanging bold ideas for moral notions. As examples of self-imposed restrictions, he cited headphones with simultaneous translation, self-driving cars, Apple's AI on smartphones, and vehicles without a steering wheel, which he labeled as forbidden. He also stated that the new Roadster would soon be banned, in his assessment. At the same time, he wrote that only fixed closures on PET bottles are allowed, something the whole world makes fun of. He attributed the EU's ability to ban such things to what he sees as an internal intellectual cowardice and called for Germans, especially men, to emancipate themselves. #Innovation #Kulturwandel #Freiheit (translated)

French Mileists claimed that Americans had just invented a flying car and presented this advancement as one of the American innovations that have transformed the world in the last twenty years. They cited AI, smartphones, film photography, cloud computing, mass-produced autonomous and electric cars, reusable rockets, streaming, and social networks. They also mentioned quantum computing, next-generation supersonic planes, and mini nuclear power plants as upcoming innovations. The account estimated that European intellectuals would probably downplay this advancement and called on Europe to reconnect with the ambition of conquest and change. It judged that the continent had mentally remained in 1998 and was no longer participating, in its opinion, in writing the future. https://t.co/70LUch3w0I #Innovation #Technologie #Futur (translated)

Steffan Nethe criticized Ferat Koçak for his contacts with Firas Remmo and accused him of contradictory statements. Nethe wrote that Koçak is funded with about 17,500 euros of taxpayers' money each month. He claimed that the Bundestag member had accepted a smartphone as an in-kind donation from the son of a well-known clan leader. According to Koçak's account, the device was intended for Antifa youth, whose phones had been confiscated by the police. Nethe questioned Koçak's statement that he initially did not know who he was chatting with and later sat in an office with him. Even after Koçak recognized who was in front of him, he did not terminate the contact but took the phone with him and contacted Firas Remmo again two weeks later, Nethe wrote. Furthermore, Koçak had asked Remmo to spread a Bundestag speech in which he referred to the term "clan crime" as a political fighting term. Nethe also criticized a voice message with warm regards to Remmo and Koçak's wish to do politics more "for the street" than in parliament. He dismissed Koçak's later regret and the explanation that the situation had been overwhelming. He called for Koçak to no longer be funded with taxpayer money and to relieve him of his political offices. #Politik #Korruption #Clankriminalität (translated)
