In an attempt to justify the pay pack, Tesla has argued that issuing a new deal for Musk to head the company would actually cost shareholders much more than the current deal.

If it helps, the guy saying that is just the the Real Estate dipshit opening his wallet for the thing. The people who are doing the ACTUAL work are some of the best DSV engineers and builders out there, not only having built the subs for the last big titanic exploration(the footage of which came out in 2020), but are…

Wouldn’t be the first time, either - Part of the reason he bought out the rapidly sinking Solarcity is because he’d spent so much SpaceX money on trying to keep them afloat, if SolarCity went down, chances were pretty good that it’d take SpaceX down with it.

I say fuck off Hammond, and replace him with Eric Bana. Huge car nut, actually understands cars and how to work on them since he’s been doing it since he was a kid, and he’s funny as hell - It’s not common knowledge in the US, but he started his career in Australia as a Stand-up comedian, and then moved into…

So, basically, this will never actually happen. This is just a reworking of his last Titanic II scam, except this time instead of targeting the smaller market of people who have a serious interest in the Titanic, he’s targeting primarily right-wing cranks, Qanon types, covid conspiracy theorists and other assorted…

They’ll also never be able to offboard anywhere because the ship will never exist. This is something like the third or fourth time he’s pulled this scam, he talks a big game and then mysteriously all the money dissapears into the companies he sets up for these ventures as wages(especially his own) and running…

He does, it seems, and more than that, has apparently been competing in and sometimes winning amateur tournaments.

Honestly, I’m shocked he didn’t just lie about it, and kick the can down the road again. It’s his standard tactic.

On top of that, it STILL took a lot of creative accounting and government subsidies to go along with that investor cash to get them to squeak into the positive.

Also note the “Founded in the last 60 years” qualifier - Old mate there is trying to qualify their way out of admitting that most car companies are profitable,…

They were the most profitable automaker for a few years. They don’t get to be the scrappy underdog when they’ve already risen to the top and stayed there a while. Plus, as has been pointed out, Tesla and Musk are inextricably connected, because he’s put a lot of effort into making it so, for better or worse - and that…

Sweet JP’s Trans-Am from Redline has to be on the list for sure. You’ve got all these people out here with their insane-ass, heavily-armed sci-fi machines, and this dude is out here with his leather jacket and a hot-rodded beater off space craigslist just absolutely thrashing all comers with nothing more than a little…

What, is mass popularity something that should only be reserved for corporations? People spending enormous sums on marketing?

Yes, but also no. The pipeline thing was part of the reason, but the size of the codebase was just a side benefit. It was actually a lot more complex, an intersection of both technological(they wanted to change up a lot of stuff under the hood for a lot of reasons) and business reasons(Since they were fresh off their…

it would never happen, but bungie taking down destiny for a time to just work on cleaning code and optimizing would probably go a long way.

Legal experts expect the plaintiff’s attorneys to pull out all the stops for the trial, using such tactics as “providing evidence” and “getting Musk to testify.” Truly innovative stuff.

His schtick (adolescent, ribald, sexist humor) was past its prime fifteen years ago.

He definitely improves when he’s not, as Stuart Lee put it, playing the sniveling little weasel suck-up to Clarkson’s shitty schoolyard bully act.

Considering the state of film criticism on the internet, I have to ask, do you mean actual plot holes, nitpicks, or Cinema Sins style plot holes?

Also, what were they?

I mean, what is grain, if not raw bread?

Indeed, and that’s why, seven years ago when I posted that comment, instead of listing a whole long thing about everything brexit was about, I simply left it at “Generally falls in line with the rest of the leave crowd.”

Like, I get what you’re saying, but I already addressed that more than half a decade ago in the…
