When was the last time Tesla shipped a great new product?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 14:11 (one year ago) link
I mean, I like Tesla! But -- they came up with a thing a while ago, they've been doing the thing. I guess maybe there's going to be a truck but it keeps getting delayed?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 14:12 (one year ago) link
theres not going to be a truck, at least not that "cyber" truck
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 14:13 (one year ago) link
wonder if tesla had an intervention to convince him no one wants his weird childs drawing truck

Hey, i liked cyber trukBut only because it didn’t look like a vehicle. In retrospect that was one of my least popular opinions, haha

(yes, there is an argument about the fake facade of big corporations changing their social media avatars for one month but otherwise not giving a shit about marginalized people, but this fuckin' guy has not earned my belief that this is what he's trying to say with this shitposting)

xp Is it an angry white man about to be pummelled by a sandstorm of pride-endorsing corporations, or is the sandstorm sweeping away the pride-endorsing corporations?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 14:28 (one year ago) link
and why is there only half a white man?
it's pretty clear at this point that shitting on marginalized people is this asshole's main deal

idk id say its more of a side hustle

need to check where that friend of mine who was working at tesla (thought he still was?!) is at, because as far as I know, he was cleared for 100% remote work a couple months back. maybe elon's just... making shit up?

xp could go either way I think

yeah seems pretty clear at this point that companies are going to have to get on board with wfh or lose their people to ones that are

meta mandated a return to work a month or two back and ... nobody came in. i am like the only person on my floor. it's spooky but super productive!
― Allen (etaeoe), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:19 (one year ago) link
lmao
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:19 (one year ago) link
I still think this might largely be the case, but it seems less so with each passing month. I keep hearing from friends that their wfh/remote options are either being rescinded entirely or severely reduced. In lots of markets it seems like the landlords and business park owners are whining about lost income in the right ears or something.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:28 (one year ago) link
I have a buddy that works for Apple and he reports that their mandated return to work is really, really unpopular
And they're losing prospective staff to companies that are more flexible
― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:37 (one year ago) link
theyre def trying i just think mid-long term that offering wfh will be such an advantage that eventually everyone will get on board, not to mention that theyll save on office space, rn theyre all locked in to leases but eventually thatll play out, who knows maybe some of that office space can be converted to housing

He didn't make any coding mistakes when he was sleeping, though.
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:55 (one year ago) link
i didnt know he even claimed to be a programmer thought it was more mechanical engineer, just saw a guy on twitter say elon asked him how to run a python script lol which i mean he couldve easily googled it
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 17:09 (one year ago) link
i think his BS degree isn't doesn't stand for Bachelor's in Science
― Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 17:19 (one year ago) link
huh just physics and economics i guess
Two years later, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics and a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from the Wharton School.

― maf you one two (maffew12), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 18:21 (one year ago) link
yeah idk why people represent him as an engineer or having present-day programming knowledge, he was in the web 1.0 years with a group making online yellow pages type of crap and selling those off for a couple years before starting one of the paypal predecessors, and by that point he was already the financial backer

I imagine that there are some percentage of competent, rational people in positions of authority at Tesla, and they are doing their damnedest to run things normally despite having a despotic CEO operating by whim. I see the WFH thing same as the Pride thing, you maintain sane policies and just sort of cross your fingers and hope he moves on to another shiny object before he actually take any actions behind his pronouncements and tweets. All that being said, the cultishness and sketchiness of Tesla probably mean that the ratio of competence and rationality is lower than in other comparable companies.
