About three years ago, some employees stumbled upon and shared a video of a unique submersible vehicle parked inside a garage, according to two people who viewed it. Nicknamed “Wet Nellie,” the white Lotus Esprit sub had been featured in the 1977 James Bond film, “The Spy Who Loved Me.”

The vehicle’s owner: Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, who had bought it for about $968,000 at an auction in 2013. It is not clear whether Musk was aware of the video or that it had been shared.

Of course he bought that thing. What fun is it to have endless money if you can’t buy all the rides from all those movies you love ? Worked for Tom Cruise.

does Cruise buy souvenirs from art he feels fondly about? literally all I know about his personal life is that he uses slave labour and has pimps audition his wives, and has personal chefs that he'll recommend to colleagues - afaik he actively avoids demonstrating affection for specific pieces of craft or design

Cruise bought his own P-51 Mustang, right?

Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Saturday, 8 April 2023 07:44 (one year ago) link

I don’t know if that’s a car or a plane or a gun

my ex uncle used to have a plane like that (hes an airline pilot)

lag∞n, Saturday, 8 April 2023 18:46 (one year ago) link

ta, looked it up - gonna say that buying a plane that you fly and then using it in your own movie 17 years later does not count as buying a vehicle because you liked seeing it in a movie tho

When Elon tries to actually have insights, he always just sounds like he's high. (Which I assume he is.)

its like how when one of your tires is bald the other three usually are as well. crazy when you think about it!!

Not just high, but like a 16 year old who's high.

nickn, Monday, 10 April 2023 05:04 (one year ago) link

Not like he's high at all. Like the most annoying boy in your class when you're 14 who likes to make drug jokes but has never had so much as a toke.

OTM.

I think he's probably more pills but he's definitely fucked up when he's making some of these decisions, this mentions board concerns about unspecified recreational drugs in addition to Ambien way back in 2018

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/17/tesla-board-members-reportedly-concerned-about-elon-musks-use-of-ambien.html

isn’t that just referring to when he went on joe rogan and smoked weed?

*good drug jokes intensify*

mark s, Monday, 10 April 2023 13:53 (one year ago) link

if he did smoke weed I think he would actually be cooler and more chill, he sounds like he's on stimulants 24/7

frogbs, Monday, 10 April 2023 13:55 (one year ago) link

if he's posting at 3am after taking a bunch of ambien he's not remembering any of that shit

unfortunately, we're forced to see the ambien tweets

mh, Monday, 10 April 2023 13:56 (one year ago) link

I remember seeing someone say the word was that he was microdosing stimulants which is stupid enough to be true

michel goindry (wins), Monday, 10 April 2023 14:00 (one year ago) link

not to veer from thread topic, but the number of people i know who have recently let on that they're microdosing on serious hallucinogens all the time is really shocking to me. like, people microdosing mushrooms every day. blows my mind tbh.

I've been microdosing cider

Camaraderie at Arms Length, Monday, 10 April 2023 15:31 (one year ago) link

I macrodosed some 8% cider last night after I’d finished the wine, it made me contemplate how my liver is the same age as my bladder

so matt tiabbi had a disastrous interview on msnbc where his lies got called out and he had no defense. then twitter blocked searches on his account because he had substack links. he then quits twitter and musk unfollows him.

Is that some kind of slash fiction or did it really happen?

who is worse - Taibbi or Greenwald

the most lol thing of all was that Taibbi demanded to be invited on Hassan's show so he could give his opinion about Musk and India, and then when he was asked about it was totally unprepared and seemed to not know what Hassan was talking about

Twitter responded to questions emailed on Monday with a poop emoji, an automated response set up by Musk.

come on

castanuts (DJP), Monday, 10 April 2023 23:55 (one year ago) link

Oh yeah, they've been doing that for a while. He fired their whole comms team and changed it a poop emoji autoreply.

Elon on this BBC interview says that being under constant strain and attack has been rough and emotionally hurtful.

Really validating to get this kind of feedback.

I missed the rollout of the new subscribe-to-Elon feature for $4 a month. Exclusive tweets and memes! What a deal. What a clown.

one of the funniest things is his insistence that “X” is the coolest name for a company
