had dinner w/my friend who works at tesla over the weekend and he's completely a non-cultist and was like "well, I've worked here almost two years, time to start hunting around"
also he admitted that some of the software engineers from his team were asked to come over to help carry parts around in the new tent-based production line

incredible
well the good news is if anyone goes in that cave again and gets stuck there’s an unproven submersible no one knows how to operate made quickly by a man whose cars spontaneously combust ready to rescue them.

also it's too big to make it up and over a curve in the cave iirc
you can uh ride it halfway in

i have an otherwise reasonable friend who admires musk and is taking the "at least he's trying to help people" line. "Our infrastructure is in shambles and someone is putting his own money into trying to fix it"
it's frustrating.

acquaintance of mine who snidely said he didn't think 'burger flippers deserved $15 an hour' and regularly posts "Be like Elon" memes that are riddled with factual errors also started a GoFundMe to repair his car after an accident (while not answering the question of why his insurance wouldn't be taking care of it).

No, it means I created jobs for 50,000 people directly and, through parts suppliers & supporting professions, ~250,000 people indirectly, thus supporting half a million families. What have you done?— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 10, 2018

did Elon just add 50k and 250k and come up with a half million xxp

I think his assumption was that every one of the 250,000 was married with a family, which somehow seems even worse to me

I wonder how often Elon would rather be a physics engineer, or lead technical designer instead of having to carry the label of billionaire. Regardless of whether or not the capsule ended up being feasible, the man sprung into action to help people he’s never met. #ThaiCaveResue— Blake Kistler (@blake_kistler) July 10, 2018
What a burden.
Ironically, the “billionaire” label, when used by media, is almost always meant to devalue & denigrate the subject. I wasn’t called that until my companies got to a certain size, but reality is that I still do the same science & engineering as before. Just the scale has changed.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 10, 2018

the infrastructure in question is digging a series of tunnels connecting elon's house and workplace and some other places he'd like to visit from time to time without sitting in traffic.

so wait, was he actually asked to do this?
This reaction has shaken my opinion of many people. We were asked to create a backup option & worked hard to do so. Checked with dive team many times to confirm it was worthwhile.
