Hatred up, Profit down

Back in 2019, Elon Musk made an astonishing claim for Tesla vehicles. Tesla cars, he said, would go up in value, not down, after purchase. The reason for that is Tesla’s full self-driving capability that, Musk has said, requires only some additional software updates and regulatory approval before Tesla vehicles on the road today will become fully independent. He repeated this claim as recently as June 2023.

“You can think of every car we sell or produce that has full autonomy capability as something that in the future may be worth five times what it is today,” he said in the company’s third quarter, 2023, earnings call. And not only would the price of a used Tesla go up, but Musk also predicted a world in which Tesla’s driver assistance suite, which the company calls “Full Self-Driving” despite not fully self-driving the vehicle, would on its own be worth $100,000.

Because, with regulatory approval, your self-driving Tesla would be able to go “work” as a taxi on your behalf. All you’d have to do is sit back and collect the cash. But four years after Musk’s 2019 prediction, the average used Tesla Model 3 is selling for $29,000.

 

 

This sounds a lot like something one of his defender has been saying in this thread. I'm shocked he and Elmo are wrong

  • Former CNN anchor Don Lemon says Elon Musk has canceled his Twitter talk show before its scheduled debut.
  • Lemon says Musk, who courted him to come to Twitter, didn't like the interview Lemon had just conducted with Musk.
  • If you're surprised by this kind of behavior from Musk, you're not paying attention.

She was in an X model, so I read.

Proposed addendum: If you are sliding into or careeing toward water be careful to keep your car from reaching 5 mph. Commit this to memory in case of accident. Also in case of emergency, be certain to also commit the section How to Shift Using the Center Console to memory.

 

Honestly I would be impressed if someone in a panicked emergency were able understand this, if they were able to read it while their car was submerging beneath thousands of gallons of water. Seems complicated?

Also - nothing about how to open the windows in case of emergency. Nor does it note that breaking the glass if submerged under water is very difficult.

The challenge with breaking many new car windows is universal: (example from a near drowning in Austin's Williamson Creek)

The dude's brain is totally fried.

 

The fact that he allows longer tweets but hasn’t bothered to fix embedding is annoying as fuck. That last bit:

The worst part about the discourse wars is the loudest detractors also suck in their own special way. Everyone is addicted to engagement. Once Elon let people profit off of it, Twitter was cooked.

Excerpt from the interview, holy shit Musk is thin-skinned when asked about his batshit conspiracy beliefs.

https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2024/03/13/don-lemon-elon-musk-x-interview-canceled-deal-ebof-bts-vpx.cnn

Well didn't you hear in the interview? He said it out loud that he cares a lot. 0:33:

"I'm criticized constantly, I could care less."

See? Dude clearly cares. He could care a lot less!!

Ketamine must be incredible. I hope elmo will eventually tell all.

The SEC officials investigating Elon Musk over his handling of the Twitter takeover seem to be growing more and more impatient with his legal antics. The two sides have been locked in a dispute over Musk’s refusal to testify in the investigation.Now, in a new filing, the SEC accuses Musk of trying to “misrepresent” the regulator’s investigation. “Musk continues to distort the true scope of this investigation – his only hope for establishing that the SEC is not seeking relevant evidence,” the SEC writes in a court document.

The SEC has been investigating Musk since 2022 over his delayed disclosure of his stake in Twitter, which was then a publicly-traded company. The regulator sued Musk last year in an effort to force him to testify in the investigation. The SEC said at the time it was investigating “among other things, potential violations of various provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with” his purchase of Twitter stock and “SEC filings relating to Twitter.” A federal judge ordered Musk to comply with the subpoena and schedule an interview last month.

 

<and then there's more of elmo protecting the extreme>

Fuck it, cull them.  I can get AI to give me a penis influencer with the face of Charlize Theron, the tits of Jessica Simpson, the ass of KimK and a middle-aged overweight dad fetish.

Reading comprehension - how does it work? That's NOT what the paragraph says at all.

And did Elon just reveal one of his fetishes?

It's a weird thing with right wing internet weirdos to just completely misstate and misrepresent the people they disagree with, always followed by knocking that straw man down and beating on their chest about it. I mean sure we see it here on Surly all the time, but it's just wild seeing one of the richest and most powerful men in the world doing it. 

And then not even 24 hours after posting this outright misinformation and lies, he's doing test flights of the most powerful rocket ever built.

It's fucking crazy that elmo is so fucking crazy.

It really is just a standard MO, isn't it?  Practicing logical fallacies is functionally a sacred act for them.

These are weak people, with weak ideas.....which appeals greatly to weak people with weak reasoning skills. So...it works.
