Elon Musk

we have a lot of charging stations here but that wasn't the case 5 years ago.

People are notorious for letting their car get down to fumes because that five minutes at a gas station, which can be found everywhere, is a hassle.

lagoon turning into a car guy has been a good low key ilx subplot

lol it's true

The point is with DC fast charging is it won’t necessarily be at petrol stations it will be at stores and restaurants and you’ll get enough charge for the week in minutes not hours whilst you do what you do.

The first generation of AC was pretty useless when installed at grocery stores because you can’t get a meaningful charge in the time it takes to do your shop. With DC you’ll be full by the time you come out. And full will be several hundred kilometres.

Interestingly we have some data from a municipal DC fast charge network in California and by far the most used charger is the one in the food coop parking lot and the session data looks a lot like people dropping in for a weekly shop and a weekly charge (along with some ride-share drivers dropping in daily).

It’s obviously super convenient if you can charge at home but in large parts of the world it’s not necessary.

Yea charging stations I've seen are usually in parking lots

is tesla stock gets to the point where a car manufacturer could afford to acquire the company, that will be because it's going out of business.

thats what i said! tho also the stock price cld just come down to earth

I get the sense Tesla stock is probably more like Bitcoin than a traditional stock

Muskcoin

the stock market just went up by 13% in a month when 30 million people filed for unemployment, the whole market is like dicecoin

lmaoooo

sick of grimes gold digging

listened to the new record and he heard a single

The future was wide open.

His tesla chassis had loose parts that would jingle

maybe we should look back at what he was doing the last few times he had children. as in, lots of children per pregnancy, iirc

IVF tho

i don't wanna think of Elon cumming thx

which naturally he was probably doing to a .jpg of himself

I meant maybe he’s gone bonkers for a while each time he‘a become a dad

maybe the effect is cumulative

That exchange sure doesn’t bode well for them. They should have just named the kid Shared Custody.

Tesla is actually a meatpacking plant.

Nobody's mentioned the kids name, which is just going to mean a lifetime of getting red * next to text input boxes.

lmao what the fuck is this guy's problem

Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.

that's not how solidarity works, elon

less than a week at home with the baby and he just wants to go back to work

please god, let me get away from my newborn for just a day so i can get coronavirus and spread it

Tesla worker to me just now: "he NEVER works the line, he stares awkwardly at someone doing their job until they are very uncomfortable, then he walks away.”

From another: "When he says on the line he just means walking around every so often to make sure everyone sees him.”

— Sean O'Kane (@sokane1) May 11, 2020

never met a PR stunt he didn't like.

didn't catch that he changed the newborn's name to "a PR stunt he didn't like" but at least it's more honest

I hope a pallet of Tesla batteries falls on this fuck and slowly crushes him in front of his employees, while they golf clap him into the afterlife.

he's like The Wolf of Wall Street, except more like the Pissant of Palo Alto

“If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me,”

Yes please I would like to support elon in this request

Really trying to get out of childcare duties

if i must lose custody of my newborn in the name of the continuation of capitalist activities at any human cost, so be it

Arrest Elon. Send everyone else home. Set the fine at the maximum amount. Jail him for second offense. Deny bail at the third offense.

fun thread:

i mention this a lot, but the tweets always seem to mysteriously get buried. a reminder elon musk is *not* the founder of tesla nor of its technologies. he bought his way in & forced the founders to sign contracts to name him a co-founder, then proceeded to kick them out. https://t.co/dxpigQq7RW

Is this the pedo guy? That just what we call guys like this growing up where I did— “pedo guys”.

https://sethsimons.substack.com/p/this-is-not-a-practice-run

this is a good response to musk's ignorance about coronavirus. he really is a moron and rogan is dangerously credulous.

can any engineers of ilx speak to his engineering chops? is he just a business guy cosplaying as a science guy?

lol

Musk was ousted in October 2000 from his role as CEO (although he remained on the board) due to disagreements with other company executives over his desire to move PayPal's Unix-based infrastructure to Microsoft Windows

i found that looking at his wiki trying to figure out if he can engineer, he studied business and physics at penn then started an internet company, if i had to guess hes a business guy who has a technical style brain and a science education, which would mean hes prob able to understand the technical side of the business conceptually but couldnt really do the actual specialized work of calculating how a car crumples and so forth, thats my guess, welcome to my guess

did he ever in his internet startup days write code? idk

im sure he could figure out how to write a lil code if he needed to, is he an expert programmer? almost certainly not, hes a business guy
