If you are genuinely interested in an answer to this (and not just an Elon fanboy), Zeynep Tufekci (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/14/opinion/sunday/elon-musk-thailand-hubris.html) has been covering the issue well.

His tunnel boring machine must have hit a major breakthrough, given the rate at which he is digging himself in a hole.

No. Apple is able to mass produce from day one.

My guess is it could be a deterrent for those that wanted the base model, as a potential $7,500 off of a $35,000 car is a much greater percentage than a $50,000+ car. People already willing to spend $50,000 on an automobile can much better absorb that hit. 

She too can attain the hilarity of Chevy’s extremely bad mama jamma man-bun millennial.

I think I’d hug a truck for 30 grand. 

Ok I take it all back -- I’ll lie about a Chevy to pay off my student loans 

$30-35K?

Nah, she’s not among us. After they went back to that Wal Mart, one of the managers there mistook her for an employee and asked why she wasnt at her register. She dutifully donned her apron and set to work, and she’s been at that register ever since

He didn’t try to make someone else’s story of life or death odds and heroic rescue efforts all about himself with an ego-driven PR stunt, so there’s that.

Everyone’s thoughts and prayers, as useless as they may be, didn’t get in the way and waste real rescuers’ time.

No surprise that Elon Musk showed up to make this all about himself. Dude loves a Grimey cave.

Yeah, this is all fun and games and meme and lulz and feels. For now.

But let’s say it does in fact “come home” and England becomes a feel-good story. “Wow, they haven’t won in over 50 years not to mention all the heartache and disappointment along the way, good on them!” they’ll say, and then more memes will arise for…

It’s been coming home for 22 years now; that’s a bloody long journey!

I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of Cardinals fans cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear we’ll never learn which lives matter.
