Elon Musk

imagining musk getting continuously blown away by everyday sights

sounds like he was stoned, like whoa these guys work for me crazy and wow one of them is tiny and another one is pretty radical and were having a meeting this is so weird im kinda freaking out imna text sergey no dont text pay attention what are they talking about shit this is so fucked up

oh hey lets create a spacefaring civilisation oh look a squirrel

There's speculation of an interesting horizontal integration aspect to this project - namely, that the hyperloop stores energy in excess of what it needs to operate. The thought is that this energy can be funneled to various spots along the loop where electric car recharge stations would be placed. That helps alleviate one of the chief concerns with another of Mr. Musk's businesses, the relatively short range of electric cars (I.e his Tedla models) to travel highway distances.

That's nice

Yeah actually if he's just wasted it doesn't sound weird at all

hey man i'm too wasted to be aware that describing transgendered or less-than-average-height people as 'fucking weird' is nagl

Isn't the story all about how pissed he is?

You mean, like, drunk?

I ws thinking "Holy shit that guy's wearing a HAT, woah" type wasted

Outside on the street, actor T.J. Miller was having a cigarette. Was he having a good time at the party?

“Yeah, but, and I’m not gonna name names, but if the billionaire power players don’t get the joke, it’s because they’re not comfortable being satirized,” said Miller, who plays a buffoonish character named Erlich, who owns the hacker house. “And they don’t remember that to be a target of humor is an honor — you have to be venerated to be satirized. Like, I’m sorry, but you could tell everything was true. You guys do have bike meetings, motherfucker.”

Burn.

fwiw the trailer for this made me laugh

I feel like with Martin Starr and Kumail Nanjiani on screen and Mike Judge involved it will probably not be terrible.

I'd watch a Martin Starr one man monologue movie, a la Spalding Gray.

it turns out i know somebody who's just agreed to be, essentially, husk's PA.

i mean musk.

please get them to start a 77 thread for us

also, maybe see if there are extra burning man tix so I can hang with the muskster

As I kind of expected, not amazing overall, but I laughed pretty much every time Nanjiani or Starr opened their mouths. Relied a little too much on obvious/well-worn tech company gags.

another space x launch later today

it turns out i know somebody who's just agreed to be, essentially, husk's PA.

thats... not inside a tube?

the cult around this guy is baffling, except for paypal i've yet to use anything he built.

What u haven't been to space lately ur not srs?

my friend works for SolarCity, which he strongly corrects me about. it's not run by Musk, he says. it's Musk's cousin.

Elton Musk

I see at least 1 Tesla per day

And there's usually only 3 parked at the dealership

I don't know what I'm getting at with this

idk, the cult of Musk makes a lot more sense than the conventional tech wisdom that the uber dudes are visionaries. i mean, he's trying to get to space and build a train that goes 800mph, the appeal of these things seems obvious even if you don't share it.

Teslas aren't sold from the dealership. You order one, they build it and deliver it to you.

Elon Musk is a living indictment of our broken economic system

yeah idk there is no tesla dealership, maybe you saw a place with free charging stations

I think my friend with a Volt has been optimizing his routes to be able to charge his car for free while drinking

I mean, ducking in for a drink. Probably not a good idea to drive too close to him, just in case

There's Tesla showrooms in a few places. There's one in a mall near here. On one of the upper floors, no less, which just seems weird.

“As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, ‘I am the alpha in this relationship,’” Justine, who was wed to the mogul from 2000 to 2008, wrote in a Marie Claire article. “I shrugged it off, just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement . . . Elon’s judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking,” she continues, saying he told her, “If you were my employee . . . I would fire you.”

Sort of what I'd expect from a billionnaire called "Elon Musk"

if this isn't technically a dealership, it is at least surrounded by dealerships and occupies a space that was previously a dealership

but yes, they seemed to only have one of each model type available for test drives or something. which is a bit hilarious because the lot is huge.
