It’s a joke

He’s basically gone full Seagal

The world will not suffer if Tesla, Twitter, the Boring Company, and what have you closed up shop tomorrow at noon. Not one thing of value would be lost. In fact, it would be a better place.

About time, PensionDanmark. His fascism and antisemitic opinions weren’t enough, but this was. Fucking finally.

I want electric vehicles to proliferate, I want greater diversification of the corporate landscape and not the steady consolidation we’ve been watching happen. That said, I want Tesla, Twitter, and every other thing Musk has touched to crumble to dust and ruin and pull him down with it. I want history to treat him…

the EV maker has claimed that its employees “have as good or better terms than those the Swedish union is demanding,”

Pretty sure he flips on autopilot and naps for a few hours.

eight fucking weeks christ 

Ok, 120k miles a year, means he drives 328 miles a day....

A national treasure, even though he would have bristled at every part of that description, knowing how we British got most of our nation’s treasure.

When your defence of someone is “everyone else does it too!” or “It’s always been that way!” you might need to rethink your choice to defend him.

This is more or less what I would expect from someone who’s probably thinking “I’m surrounded by godless heathen libtards” every day he’s on a film set.

Doesn’t matter, he’s working with other people, fellow professionals who deserve a baseline of respect, and (former) star status doesn’t excuse him from basic decency, which it sounds like Allen has very little of

now THIS is the pedantry i come here for

Tim Allen was always an hypocritical asshole who should have been in jail for trafficking.

“The series’ premise is that the only way to save a galactic empire from collapse is to fight against its establishment”

That 15% (the consumer car/truck industry) is the low-hanging fruit. Yes, all of it needs to come down, but electrification isn’t as ready or as close to meeting needs in the other transportation sectors. A few Tesla semis good for hauling superlight bags of mostly air and fried potatoes is not in danger of replacing…

There isn’t really a singular option that can just be turned off for a 30% macro cut that wouldn’t also have immediate, catastrophic effects on day-to-day life. The practical solutions are to continue chipping away at the sectors where a single law (like vehicle emissions) can have downstream effects. I would expect…

Reluctant NP for someone who wants a cheap roadster but is, for some reason, Miata-averse.   This assumes no issues with the trunk spot welds which, according to the BAT police, seems to be the IMS bearing equivalent for these cars.  Also overlooks the shifter and parking brake boots, which would have to go in the…
