Elon Musk

I'm guessing a mouse pointer onscreen, rather than the actual mouse?

feel like that's been done already, I recall hearing about stroke victims 10 years ago being able to control something with their thoughts that could allow them to communicate

that said until Elon can actually prove it I assume this is nothing but more stock price manipulation

yeah that tech has been around for 20+ years and you can do it without an implant

theres an old nova episode where alan alda steers a boat with his thoughts

tfw my cybertruck is steered by my intrusive thoughts

lol

Has Musk ever steered anyone wrong?

Does neurolink come with a self-driving mode?

I heard if you pay for the neurolink blue checkmark level you get to steer a randomly selected Tesla with your mind.

My cybertruck telepathypilotTM took me straight to small, loose, ledge upstep where we got stuck and i died of thirst.

hehe. “and i say that in everybody’s best interest. not so much me— but rivian, investors, and especially truck buyers. you don’t want to end up with an unsupported truck.”

I’m glad Matt Sweeney got his Guitar Moves video series back from Vice after they shuttered Noisey.

Yes, having "execs live in the factory" is good for production.

execs sleep in the cars

I think we can attribute many of Elon's decisions to lack of sleep.

He should introduce a Smart Bed.

oh yes, rivian should absolutely thank elon for his concern trolling their potential customers and investors. amazingly selfless of him to help out a competitor!

He is thinking of the Earth first, business second.

I've started seeing Rivian - unlike Teslas they actually do look kind of futuristic in a way, like they'd be driving around in a William Gibson novel set 20 years in the future. Not quite good looking but at least more interesting than the Tesla blobs or Hot Wheels.

They stand out because there are not that many of them and they are not Teslas. See also: Lucid.

Rode in a Rivian Uber last summer in Boulder, I liked it more than riding in a Tesla for sure.

visited one at about 10500 ft on the colorado alpine loop a year and a half ago, seemed nice enough. rather doubt it was going all the way round, but perhaps. had to be very heavy. i would enjoy seeing a cybertruck limping around even the bottom of that.

You mean to tell me the divorced drug addict who's adopted sister had kids with his dad, has ten kids of his own from four different women, and bought Twitter for $30 billion over market while on a ketamine bender so his Nazi friends could come back has never been to therapy? pic.twitter.com/0UaX5HaOMl

seems fair

Don’t ask, don’t get

love my cybortruck but i think it is not good that it tries to kill me and my family if i may sir

Love @tesla and my @cybertruck but “catastrophe failure” with steering and brakes while on a road trip with wife and toddler…. Pretty pretty pretty not good. Oh and service center not open today. @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/vfvevsRsh8

You have a first gen platform, expect issues. It’s better to shake it out in town for at least 3-5K miles before a roadtrip.

When you buy 1st gen products. You are inherently a beta tester…
Glad your family is ok after that.

Snort. We're all beta testers with those self-driving deathtrap behemoths on the road. I don't recall signing a release OK'ing getting hit by one of those things while they work out the kinks.

Tough this one as, as far as I can tell from the instructions leaflet, the toddler goes in the trunk.

a century of product safety law and regulation is no precedent when you are selling a cybotruck. just sellin it and being a fucking LEGEND, that's all.

and you buyer, the greater fool. sucka.

bad software has trained these people to eat shit, they like it even

Beta testing cars isn't really a thing.

lol yeah, testing cars is a thing, a thing car companies do a lot of to make sure their cars work before selling them

you can see all kinds of road testing pics online! usually they have a weird wrap on to obscure what the body looks like

the wrap is so annoying let us see the unfinished cars
