I was re-telling this incident to this posh bloke in a pub the other night, and he was absolutely incredulous about the Musky pedo slur - "no no no, he is a very important guy and wouldn't do that". My first encounter with an irl musketeer, no less!

tbf i think a lot of longterm musk hatewatchers were also startled by it

I thought the capacity to be startled by an American billionaire acting like a complete cock might be a bit reduced in recent times!

also, he's apologizing by ... running some kind of cryptocurrency promotion?
I know that sometimes people can get angry and voice an opinion that looks aggressive. Reacting in the way I did was not a good thing. As such I thought of a cool way to make amends with anyone who feels offended.A way to get yourself free crypto. How does it sound?Conditions are pretty simple. Just visit: musk-official-giveaway.com/btc/ - for free BTC musk-official-giveaway.com/eth/ - for free ETH P.s. If you send in 3 BTC or 30 ETH, you will get the Grand Prize: a customized Tesla 3 model, delivery included. Limited to one participant! DM me on Twitter if you did that and we will sort everything out. Thanks, Elon.

sorry, that is from a fake Elon Musk twitter account. this one is from the real Musk, though:
As this well-written article suggests, my words were spoken in anger after Mr. Unsworth said several untruths & suggested I engage in a sexual act with the mini-sub, which had been built as an act of kindness & according to specifications from the dive team leader.
― soref, Wednesday, 18 July 2018 09:25 (five years ago) link
i was fully ready to accept the crypto competition as real tbh, seems like exactly the kind of thing he'd do
― BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 18 July 2018 09:28 (five years ago) link
Telling Musk to “stick his sub where it hurts” is not necessarily the same as suggesting he “engage in a sexual act”.

I mean obviously the glaring problem is that it’s a craven, manipulative billionaire weirdo punching wayyyyy down to a literal hero who rescues children from cave death, but if the tables were turned we do have to admit that “this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus)” is kind of a good zing

if we agree to leave aside "punching down" (and remember we dont) would it even apply to interaction on twitter (not in any way that would leave it meaning anything (and remember it doesnt))

wish I'd kept up my tweet about how Musk buys into the "donate money and then they have to do what you say" model because he apparently really did call the Sierra Club and say "I give you money please tell everyone I'm a good guy"

In keeping with the spirit of the thread, may I present this amazing article about the "solar roof" vaporware
money quotes:
"...the company instructed some employees to avoid fielding Solar Roof inquiries due its limited availability."
and this:
"One user said Tesla has been unable to given even a rough estimate of when their systems will be delivered."

I never asked my friend about it but the impression I got was that coordinating panel installation as a front for selling the home batteries wasn't working great, and then the actual home batteries aren't a great business either

the Powerwalls are mostly useless IMO, the LG Chem batteries seamlessly integrate with Solar Edge inverters. LG is now sold out until August/September, indicating that there is high demand for a product that doesn't depend on "authorized dealers"
