Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire and CEO of SpaceX, is known for his bold and unconventional moves. From launching a car into space to building a tunnel system under Los Angeles, Musk is always pushing the boundaries of what is possible. But his latest social media post has caught the attention of both his fans and critics.

In a recent clip posted on his social media platform X, Musk can be seen playing a video game while a SpaceX engineer can be heard in the background. The engineer can be heard telling Musk that the most recent Starship flight test was “one second away” from an abort. The clip, captured by Reuters’ Joey Roulette, has caused quite a stir among the tech and space communities.

While some may see this as just another one of Musk’s quirky posts, others are concerned about the implications of having a CEO playing video games while important tests are being conducted. But for Musk, this is just another day in the life of a visionary entrepreneur.

Musk has been known to occasionally share clips of his video game plays on social media, but this latest one has sparked a debate about the balance between work and play. Some argue that it shows Musk’s lack of focus and seriousness, while others see it as a way for him to unwind and destress.

But one thing is for sure, Musk’s unorthodox approach to business and life has led to some groundbreaking achievements. From revolutionizing the electric car industry to making space travel more accessible, Musk’s vision and determination have made him a household name.

Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Elon Musk is a force to be reckoned with. And while some may question his methods, there’s no denying that he is constantly pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo. So, whether he’s playing video games or launching rockets, one thing is for sure – Elon Musk is always one step ahead of the game.

“Lyft Gets Slapped with $2.1M Fine for Tricking Drivers with False Earnings Promises”  https://www.manliness.com/lyft-gets-slapped-with-2-1m-fine-for-tricking-drivers-with-false-earnings-promises/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lyft-gets-slapped-with-2-1m-fine-for-tricking-drivers-with-false-earnings-promises https://www.manliness.com/lyft-gets-slapped-with-2-1m-fine-for-tricking-drivers-with-false-earnings-promises/#respond Sat, 02 Nov 2024 23:54:27 +0000 https://www.manliness.com/?p=7222 Lyft has agreed to a hefty $2.1 million settlement with the FTC for misleading drivers about their potential earnings.

Lyft has agreed to a hefty $2.1 million settlement with the FTC for misleading drivers about their potential earnings. According to the FTC’s complaint, Lyft was inflating the incomes it advertised to potential drivers in 2021 and 2022. Looks like they were trying to lure in some unsuspecting folks with promises of big bucks.

But let’s be real, we all know that driving for a ride-hailing company isn’t exactly a get-rich-quick scheme. Sure, it’s a decent side hustle, but let’s not quit our day jobs just yet. And Lyft should have been upfront about that from the start.

I mean, we’ve all seen those ads with smiling drivers and their shiny cars, making it seem like they’re living the high life. But in reality, they’re probably just trying to make enough to cover their car payments and maybe splurge on a fancy latte once in a while.

But hey, I get it. Lyft was trying to compete with the big dogs like Uber and needed to attract drivers. And what better way to do that than by dangling the promise of fat stacks in front of them? But let’s not forget that honesty is the best policy, folks.

Now, I’m not saying that Lyft is the only one guilty of this. I’m sure other companies have done the same thing. But that doesn’t make it right. And as men, we should value integrity and transparency, even in the business world.

So let’s take this as a lesson, gents. Don’t believe everything you see in those flashy ads. And if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to your day job and maybe pick up some extra cash driving for Lyft on the side. Just don’t quit your day job.
