RE: Convertibles “You are not a race car driver and you can’t feel a difference”.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...true.  My (33) year old Miata just flipped one of it’s headlights up at you (person writing the quote above).

General rule in Hollywood: if they usually play creeps, they’re probably extremely nice. (E.g., Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe.) If they’re usually playing charming and nice (and they’re not Tom Hanks or Paul Rudd), there’s a good chance they’re creeps. Grant is a prime example of the latter. (See…

I am conflicted because

Elon always thinks he can reinvent things that have been tried and failed in the past. He decided to get rid of round steering wheels, only to quietly re-add them due to complaints. He decided to try an unmoderated social media platform, only to quietly replace some mod controls. Why not try sharecropping again?

You’d…

Will this end up with him being eaten by a bear? One can dare to dream...

It’s pretty awesome for employers that employees are afraid to leave their jobs for fear of losing healthcare. Now, what if they weren’t allowed to own a home and they lost their apartment if they quit? Your boss would really have you over a barrel then.

You can bet he will implement the same rule that was in many company towns in the past: “you get evicted if you go on strike”, and he’ll probably even stop you from unionizing at all. If you say anything on social media against him, that will likely be grounds to get fired and evicted overnight. Fun

The problem is, a tech company town in the USA isn’t the same as an emerald mining company town in South Africa. It’s not like bits are restricted to a specific area like ore or gemstones.

Musk’s already said slavery is his goal, that’s exactly what his Mars plan is. Anyone that he’d take to Mars would be an indentured servant, entirely dependent on him for literally everything. No surprise from the son of an apartheid diamond mine owner.

Jesus Christ. As you pointed out, he’s literally reinvented the company town and branded it as innovation. 

“You know who were really great bosses? Robber Barons!"

Isn’t this potentially like the premise of the movie ‘Don’t worry darling’ with a sycophantic community, removed from the real world, in order to appease a sociopathic male chauvinistic wannabe God figure.

That’s not a company town. That's a slave plantation. 

After seeing his complete and utter lack of managerial skills at Twitter, who the fuck would want to live there? “We pushed an update for the traffic lights, unfortunately now they show go in all directions at once. Sigh. So fragile.” 

Imagine putting your entire life in the hands of that deranged weirdo and his cockamamie schemes.

According to the Journal, Musk’s plans include building a place for his employees to live ... with the caveat that they would have 30 days to vacate the premises if they were laid off or quit.

Elon’s utopia sounds more like everyone else’s dystopian hell hole. 

Maybe he’ll pay in dogecoin?
