    Allegedly? … They’ve been cooking the books for years about all sorts of things.

      Wtf, it sounds like the Tesla was going 60+mph in a residential area… Is this another case of the driver holding the throttle down preventing autopilot from braking? That’s what happened on the first case Tesla lost too

    yeah, my trike gets me to the next town and back. it’s always the teslas that don’t give room on the road or swerve at me on 25mph roads when i’m doing 20. it’s either the FSD or the driver, you decide.

    Enough people have died getting literally cooked in Tesla cars, unable to get out, for me to never want to get in one of them on purpose.

      I can’t believe he doesn’t get more shit for that whole Hyperloop debacle.

      The hype around it was a big part of his whole elevation in the media to “Real-life Tony Stark” status. Engineers who called it out as impractical half-baked nonsense were ignored or ridiculed, but now that they’ve been proven correct everyone’s just moved on and forgotten about the whole thing.

        Hyperloop was nonsense from day one. That’s why all Musk did way publish some vague white paper and hype it up while staying himself clear of any of that. Its only purpose was to kill California High Speed rail anyway.

          The conventional wisdom is that he’s still a genius but was masterfully playing 4-D chess.

          Personally I don’t believe it, I think he genuinely did think he was being a genius and that it was going to happen.

            I doubt that. No 4D-chess required. He absolutely refused to invest anything into Hyperloop from the start nor did any of his companies do work on it. He may have been high on his own supply with rockets and self drivingbut certainly not with Hyperloop. Just follow the money.

        His goal achieved: blocking rail. More wasn’t important.

        Since Trump and the tech bros I learned a lot about swarm behavior and also neurodivergence.

        For one, the (human) swarm is generally really dumb, so roughly the lowest common denominator. That itself is not the issue, but it forgets. It’s really really forgetful and easily distracted.

        So just throw up the next idea and everything will focus on that. It’s even worse that the media is mostly owned by a few, adding to that.

        Basically all this results in enabling this behavior. I remember, but most do not. That’s where neurodivergence comes in, if we’re focused we do not get diatracted. We remember better in that case, but few listen.

        Oh and those that were ridiculed also never get an apology. So can you blame them for decoupling from the fate of humanity?

        Thing is, it just takes one person with a spine to completely upend things if you try to do it that way. Too risky.

    Of course they did. And there’s no consequences because muskrat embedded himself amongst every government agency

    What? No way, Elon Musk is a saint and they should change the face of that statue in Rio de Janeiro of some unknown wimp to his! 😭

    I mean I don’t really have to tell you it’s satire, do I? Boil him, mash him, put him in a stew.
