Some of you may be thinking “Hey, I live near the Pacific Coast. What happens if Musk misses, and crashes the ISS into me personally instead of the ocean?”

Don’t forget the mirrors. It’s 2024, why would I want to be checking pieces of silvered glass when I can be checking YouTube videos?

You have to plan long term. We may not need more people now, but if you look to the future when death rates from full self driving and failed Mars colonies skyrocket and decimate the population, those people are going to need to be replaced. The man’s a visionary.

Anything looks better than the stock stainless.

The “20,0000" in there makes me question the rest of the maths.”

It’s not really that hard to know if 5% is a high number, you just have to think for a second. What kinda car is going to be flipped? It’s not going to be a Toyota Corolla, you know? The only cars that are going are going to be flipped are the ones that are rare and in demand. As ridiculous as the Cybertruck is, it’s…

Well, to be fair, it might not just be the money. He’s giving credit to the stroke, so maybe it just takes extensive brain damage for a progressive to turn conservative.

I think you misplaced the decimal. 187 of 20,000 R1T’s is just under 1%, not just under 10%. Which means the Cybertruck is over 5 times more likely than the R1T for someone to try to flip. I would assume other cars have even lower percentages than the R1T due to the depreciation of just driving them off the lot and…

I don’t see the swastika, but if you put two side by side you’d definitely get get the “SS” lightning bolt symbol.

And just like their other products, there is some argument as to whether an expensive mezcal should come into contact with water.

“Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it” — Publilius Syrus (1st century BCE)

Blaine Raddon reserved a Cybertruck after watching the vehicle’s launch online, but since he ordered the truck his living situation changed. He and his wife separated and he moved from a home with a garage into an apartment complex

I think they are going to fade away and I get what you’re saying, but I think the comparison is a touch flawed. Kodak, Palm, and RIM went under because they refused to accept new technologies and blindly stuck by their core skills. Kodak even invented the digital camera and then ignored it. That’s kinda the opposite…

I was trying to think of what kind of person would want something like this. What kind of person would so badly confuse garishness with class? What kind of person would think quality and luxury is merely a matter of coating everything in gold? 

I have to admit it took me waaaayyy too long to get the joke. But once I did... it’s a god-tier submission.

Not quite your diagram, but I found this:

“I don’t understand the second one.”

My politics are definitely on the left, but I have come to believe that “late stage capitalism” is the mirror image of “woke”. It’s overused, and I doubt most people even understand what they mean when they use that phrase. I half suspect you are tempted to blame an accident that occurred in the Netherlands and…

Trump was a disaster for the American solar power industry. He ceded the entire sector to China, which now controls more than 80% of the global photovoltaic panel supply chain. If he’s elected again he will most certainly do that in other nascent industries as well. He is the death of American innovation.
