Elsewhere, Tesla’s chief accounting officer is quitting after a month on the job, which is fine, it’s fine, don’t worry about it, it’s totally normal and fine:Dave stated: “Since I joined Tesla on August 6th, the level of public attention placed on the company, as well as the pace within the company, have exceeded my expectations. As a result, this caused me to reconsider my future. I want to be clear that I believe strongly in Tesla, its mission, and its future prospects, and I have no disagreements with Tesla’s leadership or its financial reporting.”

there maybe be some legalities there

He's going to hyper loop out of there so fast the feds will never catch him. Though it might raise some red flags when he suggests a tunnel from Palo Alto to Fiji.

― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 7 September 2018 20:53 (five years ago) link
Yeah I caught a bit of the live broadcast last night when he was talking about that, “maximizing enjoyment.” He says there’s an Easter egg in the Teslas that makes them play music and “dance.” Fucking moronic, just make a good car christ.
― flappy bird, Friday, 7 September 2018 21:02 (five years ago) link
I mean he's kind of got a point, people aren't buying Teslas because they wanna get to point A to point B
― frogbs, Friday, 7 September 2018 21:07 (five years ago) link
Maybe not now, but he’s talking about a future where most ppl drive electric cars (and preferably Teslas). He went into the whole tunnel idea and everything. He realizes that they won’t be a super luxury item forever.

I missed the blunt smoking last night. Why is that the big thing the media is running with? Marijuana is legal in California.
― flappy bird, Friday, 7 September 2018 21:19 (five years ago) link
It may be legal, but turning up to work high is probably not the best idea for he CEO of a multi-billion dollar company whose judgement and leadership style is already severely questionable.

yesterday was such a failure that i ended up working on a dumb morph for an hour before realizing there was video footage of him smoking it, and i didn't have to recreate what it would have looked like based upon two still images posted on a thread. so here is an alternative look at what that scene might have looked like in a world that isn't our own
