Elon Musk

So, yeah, he's hosting SNL.

People on here hate Elon Musk because he has unbundled decarbonization from pious attitudes about decarbonization. https://t.co/fHrmENSHZe

a tweet that will make you want to throw your device out the window.

musk seems to be a true bipartisan hit. lots of libs that love him because of technocracy and internet-nerd-right think he's epic

People who are mad about Elon Musk hosting SNL need to understand that hosting SNL is *not* an endorsement, for example Adolf Hitler hosted SNL in 1938

It is actually not hard to think that the success of Tesla (which has to do with a lot of people not named Elon Musk in addition to Elon Musk) is a very good thing for the environment and the future while also think that Elon Musk, the person himself, seems like a big asshole, I don't see why this is supposed to set up some kind of Captain-Kirk-destroying-the-computer logical doom loop

it's also not hard to not think this at all

I still find it incredible that apparently a Tesla's back doors can't be easily opened if the power is cut off. Or, one presumes, if the power is off and the car is on fire.

lol yeah it is easy to think that, prob why so many people do

xp woah, let's not write the snl sketches for them

whoa

Elon Musk is one of the biggest obstacles to the acceptance of a post-personal-car world, which is what we really need more than anything. Don't think he gives a shit about climate change, electric cars are just the new thing, if this were the 30s he'd be selling asbestos and CFCs.

have we done Elon’s bro kimbal yet?

If Elon and his brother had a baby (get working on that tech, Elon), he might look like Dwight Yoakam:

hahahaha no

Space X has pulled off some pretty wild shit but Musk comes off like a total choad. I kind of hope they get the rockets to Mars working as there is a bunch of mf'ers I would like to get sent off the Earth as soon as possible.

go to mars bitch

wrong thread but it probably works anywhere

lol

Musk is really the Platonic ideal of a choad, for me.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/tesla-makes-more-money-trading-bitcoin-than-selling-cars-11619517615

$101mn in Bitcoin trading, $500mn in selling emissions credits and -$77mn in actually selling cars.

idk what this guy is talking about all the time its a little bit inside baseball but he seems to be alleging that theres no evidence that tesla has actually sold all those credits

After some looking into China NEV program. Since there is speculation $tsla got paid by VW in China to the tune of 100s of millions in Q1.

Again, there are no receipts and all bound by confidentiality agreement. There was reuters report but no comment by either.
Let's look.

Where tesla has been making a packet in credits is Europe, they sell them to other car makers who can’t make their emissions targets, whatever else you say about tesla, getting your competitors to subsidise your products is a pretty good trick whilst it lasts.

people who say he's doing good things for the environment

in that thread, the same moronic argument I've seen used to justify NFTs, it must have gone out in a crypto newsletter or something

Before you get triggered, educate yourself on the basics of Bitcoin mining and how it consumes magnitudes less energy than the existing financial system👇https://t.co/Qh4ATx4x5m

ahh

also please tell me that Elon isn't writing his own skits

they should let him tho

world's first 2 hour Dogecoin sketch

looked at the thread and he's enthusiastically approving and ineptly yes-anding people's dogecoin suggestions

he's gonna pump the price and then sell all of his Doge live on tv and lead to a massive selloff

the SEC will be too busy laughing to care

I hope they let him do his doge coin skit, and it becomes his adrian brody snl moment

looked that up: yikes and loool

https://i.imgur.com/5SsglPc.jpg

dog coin is down 25% already

he has got to be the most boring and awkward man on the planet. even Prince Phillip has more charisma than this guy. and I don't mean Prince Phillip last month

this is some exquisite torture

has Aykroyd really never hosted? I guess it wasn't ~expected~ of breakout stars to come back and bless the show in his day

I dunno, Chevy Chase came back. if he never did I bet there's a story there.
