Elon Musk

Congrats to the five people in the purple circle—which I believe is empty by 2020. You have the support of Elon Musk.

Should be really good for fundraising purposes! Not a lot of competition.

Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 17, 2022

wait what

^^^^

you gotta tip your cap lol

Elon Musk has (jokingly?) said he is buying Manchester United.

But $MANU is traded. Here's where it gets weird.$MANU gets 0 options activity. Two days ago, someone did 450k, sustained volume, in $14 calls expiring 31 days, 3500% increase in volume.

elon musk: what the heck is goin on

as usual I suspect the answer is "too much coke"

lmao did he just hype up a pump and dump again

This is what he's reduced to when the drugs don't work anymore.

Alternately: this is basically drugs when yr a billionaire

why go to mars when you could buy your own offshore research pharmaceutical lab to cook up something that makes you think you've reached mars, is my take

That is kind of the plot of a couple of PK Dick stories.

otm

if PDK were around today I bet twitter would hate him

Many A+ comments

Cybertruck is truly mind blowing in person. This will be the best product by Tesla so far. @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/f4BCTuJa4W

in the spirit of 2022, the era of just being dumb, i am doubling down and slightly distorting my previous approval of the cybertruk concept and now say that yes, sometimes things can be so bad that they are good, and that's what i meant all along

That’s what I don’t understand. When I see an H1 go down the road I don’t think OMG that car is SO SEXY and BEAUTIFUL!

It’s not a girls car…

When I see an H1 or the CT I think wow that’s badass!!! 🔥🔥🔥

What’s with dudes trying to make there trucks look pretty?

there’s a guy with a healthy collection of truck nuts

only fifteen thousand us dollars to unlock the feature that lets you chill out while yr tesla autonomously mows down children, cyclists, animals and more

Elon Musk is jacking up the price of Tesla’s unfinished autonomous vehicle software yet again, an added feature that itself is starting to approach the cost of a typical small hatchback. https://t.co/xI8kRRlhh4

guy is absolutely relentless in fleecing his marks, such distain

That photo there makes him look like a Bond villain.

and rightly so

Bond villain or, I dunno, asshole conductor who stopped the performance because someone was talking.

A conductor who is legendary for his temper tantrums but can't conduct his way out of a paper bag.

careful or you might ink a show deal with amazon

Would watch. Unless you are actually describing the premise of "Mozart in the Jungle," in which case, did not watch.

(still laughing at this one)

I guess I've always labored under the misapprehension that vehicles in post-apocalyptic cinema looked that way out of practical necessity (limited materials available, must be able to cross the wastelands without being hopelessly ravaged by mutants, etc.) when I guess everyone just looted the warehouses upon warehouses filled with unsold Cybertrucks.

Tesla Steering Yokes Are Disintegrating Before 30,000 Miles

probably just the Andromeda Strain mutating again, def nothing wrong with Tesla's scientific and product engineering genius

we made the shittiest possible steering wheel but dont worry its broken

Still not sure how the yoke complies with regulations

JFC

A variety of theories have been put forth by the Twitter community to explain the issue. Many posters quickly turned on the owners, accusing them of causing the problems through their personal vices.

Meet Kevin was facetiously accused of spilling beer in the interior, with a Twitter user hunting down a mugshot from his DUI arrest. Posters scrutinized images and criticized jf.okay in particular for excessive fingernail pressure on the yoke. Others spuriously asserted that excessive alcohol consumption could cause the problem via ethanol leaching out of the skin. Less cutting theories put the blame on hand sanitizers or lotions degrading the coating on the yoke.

I forgot that Teslas have a fucking YOKE steering apparatus. I feel like that’s a tidy micro summary of everything that’s wrong with this dude’s hubristic “engineering genius”.

More like Yeet steering, am I right?

excessive alcohol consumption could cause the problem via ethanol leaching out of the skin

lol these fuckin' nerds and the mental gymnastics to defend their god king Musk

Imagine being so drunk all the time that you can literally dissolve plastics with your hands.

I just call that "Friday"

I have had a tendency to wear down car trim just by my touch.

In the first case, it was the passenger "oh shit bar" on an ex-girlfriend's brand-new Subaru, which I had caused noticeable erosion on after just a few months of being her only semi-regular passenger.

In my own car, I wore down the steering wheel padding all the way down to the base plastic. This took several years of use as a daily driver. It took me a while before I noticed it was visibly wearing away, so I'm not sure when it started.

Also, I may have been more drunk than not during the time periods of greatest wear. Unknown if this is relevant.

Anyone else notice this in your non-Tesla cars? Not to apologize for Musk or anything.

I mean, there is some noticeable wear marks on the steering wheel and arm rest on the car I've driven for 10 years, but absolutely nothing I would consider actual "erosion".

the humorous minutiae people pretend to give a fuck about when defending their cult leader.

i bet that nerd had never even thought the words "fingernail pressure" in the same sentence before until his tweet.

wouldn't be talking about other people "squeezing too hard" bro

You must be squeezing too hard. Slow down and you won't have this issue. 😉
