Elon Musk

epic sir

The checkmark on the dril account has now been removed again, and then I think it was added for a minute, then removed again. It's like a Looney Tunes cartoon but one side is some shitposter on his laptop and the other side is the richest man on the planet in corporate HQ fuming

great success much data

BREAKING: The FAA had grounded the SpaceX Starship program pending a mishap investigation.

This will most likely take many months to complete and require an extensive remediation plan before being allowed to launch again.

This is what happens to your launchpad when you think it would be funny to launch to the world's largest rocket on 4/20, instead of when it's ready.

It will probably be at least a year before the FAA will approve another Starship launch. pic.twitter.com/tXytW309a6

Pshh. Guess the FAA is gonna be losing its checkmark... we'll see who cancels who, woke safety regulators..

The failure of the SpaceX launch yesterday can be directly linked to a personal decision that Elon Musk made 3 years ago to not install flame diverters on the Starship launchpad.

He overruled his own engineers on this design flaw, and admitted publicly.

It's his fault.

And because of this decision, the launchpad was blasted apart and debris slammed into the engines at the bottom of the booster, damaging them.

Ultimately resulting in the spectacular cartwheels and explosion that we saw just moments later.

and yet there are hundreds of weird nerds absolutely fuming into their keyboards all day today about how we're all just too stupid to appreciate his genius

extremely low qual religion

I think that's actually the cringiest thing he's done yet

Hope someone’s on the blower to child protection services

wait, if that's elon why is he paying attention to his child

imagine Lion King if Rafiki got so distracted he dropped Simba over the cliff

was it steve jobs who created this poisonous concept of the innovator as an individual with no actual tech knowledge but who makes big, bold decisions and demands unrealistic time frames etc etc? i mean that's what musk is obviously shooting for and failing dramatically, right?

neil breen perfected it

Jobs was just making phones and computers though, not things that explode or crash

why is he so brainless

feel like the business guy who dares to demand more has to go back before steve job, and tbf it kind of works but its a dangerous game, has prob killed more businesses than its made but you dont hear about them

elizabeth holmes vibes

the thing about steve jobs is he actually was a great product guy, and obvs a great salesman too, which are real skills, a little different than some over confident dumbass just being all you have half the time to do twice the work

like musk does the same shit but has no feel for product and hes also unserious about doing quality work

exactly - that's what they're all aiming for and no one else can really do it

good time to mention I was actually in a Tesla last week and while the car was impressive in terms of pure horsepower (it was so fast it made me want to throw up, actually) it also had some remarkably stupid design "features" like putting the gear shifter and wiper blade controls on the touchscreen and the turn signals on the steering wheel. the guy who bought it said even after a year he still isn't used to how counterintuitive that is. Steve Jobs I think at least understood the psychology of things that work like you expect them to

most companies that make great products arent lead by charismatic visionaries theyre just good companies but thats not as interesting to weird wannabe business guys

i think what i'm trying to say is that musk (and holmes and a bunch of others) learned the wrong lesson from jobs which is that you just have to be INTUITIVE and INNOVATIVE and DEMAND NOTHING LESS THAN PERFECTION and that you don't really have to know anything technical or practical or listen to anyone with actual technical/practical knowledge

the whole thing with electric cars being extremely fast and heavy is not great its unsafe

free speech

Somebody at Twitter decided to delete my tweet about the FAA grounding of the Starship program.

I didn't.

Most likely Elon.

Good morning, Elon Musk has been ordered to give a deposition in a trial because Tesla has been claiming that his (many) public statements about Autopilot's capabilities might have been deepfaked.

Seriously.https://t.co/iVmwaj5HFa pic.twitter.com/r1sTqBqZ1L

You don't have to be a sociopath to be a billionaire, but it helps.

lmao I had a feeling he would be the first to try to use that defense

lol thats such weak shit they could have been deepfakes well were they

tbf r kelly did it first i mean it was before deepfakes but same diff and it worked despite be preposterous

I could tell you, but how would you know "my" telling you wasn't also a deepfake?

what's even more despairing is the typical Elon nerds jumping into threads about this with constant tweets saying, "what? are you alleging that it is impossible for Elon to be deepfaked?"

Elon Musk is more of a shallowfake, amirite?

a snowfake

You don't have to be a sociopath to be a billionaire, but it helps.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

idk if you have to be a sociopath but you prob have to be a least a lil socipathish

I do think you have to have at least some level of disregard for most other people on the planet.

Sorry for the double post

the money/success/power tends to amplify those tendencies too, which is why billionaires shouldnt exist, for the good of their mental health

unfortunately money starts to pump up sociopath tendencies at like a vacation home level of wealth lol

Do we want to wager if/how much he’ll lie on the witness stand or in desposition?

There are something like 450 billionaires in America alone. The ones we can name I assume are among the worst, but I really have no idea how many I could name. Some of them are sociopaths like Musk, some of them are, like, Springsteen or something.

ok

Springsteen is definitely a sociopath
