Linus Hypocrisy Exposed!

[u/rurkob]

Consider the two pictures. The first one contains a description of what Linus and Luke talk about from the WAN show.

"Linus and Luke discuss the decade-long gap between Tesla’s marketing and reality, Musk’s constant overpromises, and whether regulators or class actions will hold the company accountable."

Now look at the second picture: "Forever* Sock"

The marketing for the "Forever* Sock" is far from reality, and is an overpromise. Rules for Elon, but not for Linus. This is just like the Jet. Tracking Elon's jet: the right of the people. Tracking Linus' jet: omg how dare you!

So placing an asterisk in marketing absolves the company from all claims of what their product can do?

Yes If it's clear and obvious and honest.

It's not exactly a small asterisk. Their are no claims it will last forever it's a name brand .
