He told it like he was a Civil War veteran talking about being at Gettysburg.

<quote>But yes he did sound like the choked up a bit when he mentioned the time he forced himself to sleep on a factory floor.</quote>

I assume that was just a necessity because of some divorce he was going through at the time but he’s spun it to be about his work ethic.

Entire generations of workers have internalized the idea that working yourself to the bone and ruining your health and family life are the only way to be productive and successful at your job. (That was the prevailing culture at the time, so I suppose for many people, it was difficult to avoid.) But with Elon, it’s…

I listened to the call - the really good stuff is at 48:30.

Elon’s famous for saying that if factory workers can’t work from home, software engineers shouldn’t get to either. But that doesn’t apply to him, does it? He’s in an intense leadership role in multiple companies. If I told my management “Hey, I’ll be spending eight months of the year working at other companies, but I…

Sure seems like there are a number of people who have been fortunate enough to have their decisions go their way for long enough that it’s basically impossible for them to admit that they even have the capacity for making an incorrect call. Anything that happens is the fault of someone or something else.

if you already have a road, putting a 3' diameter pipe next to it from your high altitude water source to your low altitude grid, then setting up a turbine at the bottom is trivial, much more efficient and sustainable and also cheaper long term as you are not paying to maintain hundreds of trucks with all of the…

That’s a lot of money that’s not going to the people that made it possible for Bezos to have the boat in the first place.

Spare us, dude. Bleeding hearts for the suffering mega-yacht industry?

Shut up fascist. You have no argument or proof. Go sit in the corner with Hitler and let the adults talk. 

How long it took for Hillary to concede, 10 minutes after AP called the results? And how long it took for the orange turd to concede? Oh, yes, I forgot...

Damn indeed because the original conditions of being granted a corporate charter was that is must prove social benefit.

You need help bro...

Is reading and thinking be hard for you, edgelord?

Oh yeah, remember back in 2016 when Hillary alleged massive voter fraud based on zero evidence and refused to concede when she lost, and then convinced her supporters to accept an easily disproven lie, and then her supporters stormed the Capitol to reverse the outcome of the election and subvert the democratic…

Only one party supports a violent overthrow based the proven lies of a gameshow host.

Once again another reason why the fucking system is broken. Elected officials should not be receiving money from corporations. That is utter bullshit.

That’s right, but if that were the only reason none of the big, established car companies marketed an electric car in 2000, then why didn’t they market one in 2014 when the price of high-density batteries had dropped to the point Tesla could sell a Model S for Mercedes S-Class prices? The cost per kWh of existing…

I don’t know if they think it’s cute... maybe they want to manage Wendy’s social media account when they grow up?

Whatever the excuse, it’s wearing on my patience and I have to believe it’s not what readers are looking for.
