Elon Musk

it also helps with recruiting. people think working for elon musk means something because they know of his asshole antics.

I wonder if Elon Musk knows how a toilet works.

I can answer that for you: it comes very easy to him. he inherited knowledge of the toilet from his dad. valves. seal rings. floats. he thought other people knew this stuff? now will you please write the 60 million dollar check for his brain cable company?

He engineered an alternative way to remove waste from his body

he founded twitter?

courted grimes?

which punchline are we searching for here?

He's starting a Mars COLONy

The punchline is the queue of Americans waiting to bank the motherfucker in the jaw

Wait what are you leasing caek? My teenager desperately wants us to get a Tesla and I am keen on an EV but don't know the landscape.

yes, I don't see many engineers with previous work experience falling for it. But I imagine it's big for the poor lads that do work there.

I think my friend is still in software development at one of these places and should check in

I think he was doing some internal apps last I checked and nothing production specific so it was less drama overall

hey caek: we got a Kia Soul last fall (they had just started rolling out the 2020s), base model, and love it. Part of it might be that it’s our first new car, but really it’s a charming and useful machine in many ways.

why don’t you drive an EV?

drama in the musksphere today

I wrote something on @ElectrekCo that is sure to be controversial but that's not the goal. I truly think that @elonmusk's feedback loop has been corrupted - resulting in some questionable actions. You can disagree but my criticism comes from place of love https://t.co/H8pOXsZzZ1

background

In light of the ongoing Tesla Fandom circular firing squad, I thought I would share this story again and add that in spite of all this I actually prefer Fred and Electrek to the up-and-comers who are helping bring his adventure to its inevitable conclusion https://t.co/1dbc09XSvW

who are the musk superfans

engineers, libertarians, SETI users, apartheid fans, environmentalists, incels, vc's, pedo guys?

forgot 'guys who have a john galt reference on their license plates'

space colonizers, grimes superfans

people who think elon musk builds the cars

apple superfans in search of a new home

reddit posters

that guy freds writing def has the weird manic superfan tone, its wild people wld willingly read that shit

a lot of idiots who are like "oh that guy seems smart"

feel like dudes who make things in their garage that they don't really need to make are at least musk-curious

I kinda feel like painting the entire www.instructables.com community as musky is casting too wide a net.

think it's mostly teenagers

Older dudes who like to tinker and have a rain gauge in their backyard.

My son is a teenager and finds Musk intriguing. It’s kind of heartbreaking and I don’t have it in me to tell him what I think.

lmaoo

My legacy is probably going to be carpal tunnel in my right arm from doing the jerk-off motion for 12 consecutive hours while weirdos with "Entrepreneur / crypto" in their bios pile into my replies to gush about Elon Musk. https://t.co/AopXgiVmPe

he's more likely to get tennis elbow from that tho

depends on how you learned to do it

or how you inherited said knowledge from your dad.

Looks like Tesla is being sued over early touchscreen failure in Model S and X. This might be a good time to revisit my story about those screens, some of the reasons they fail, and why no other automaker has 17 inch screens in their vehicles https://t.co/ZnaN8mRQ9o https://t.co/e8SCZLakhP

I will never ever stop laughing about Elon Musk stealing an image from Buca de Beppo so he could fake eating out during a pandemic while he has a newborn at home pic.twitter.com/jWDoiGYzX5

lmao

this is the guy many people think is the worlds #1 genius lol

his defenders are saying he didn't literally meant he went to Buca to eat that Sunday even though he p clearly implies that in his follow-up posts.

see i wldve gone with he was just havin a laugh

there is a massive closed and abandoned buca de beppo in my town which everyone hates b/c no one is taking care of the building so it has an extra layer for me

this is hilarious

I thought he was referencing jail and scorsese

Listening to neon neon and tried to explain delorean as like musk, thought i was being all crazy insightful lol, but thread was on it. years ago. btw that album is still fun.

delorean actually was very good at making cars to begin with tho, no? just not when he branched out alone

i told my kid that my recall was that he was trying some different design stuff (didnt the car have different sized wheels or something?) not to mention facilities location. You’re right tho he was at least a car guy making cars.

first you monsters deny elon the title of 'engineer'. now you would take away 'car guy'? And after previously awarding that title to a poster that admits to not even owning a car!
