The episode is in fact quite fair to Musk, believe it or not. Oliver does give credit to the man where it is due, and he even skips his upbringing and emerald mine jump-start, so the focus is just on the dumb shit Musk does today.

ESTEEMED character actress Margo Martindale, please.

No, ‘Cats’ failed because they were too cowardly to release the Butthole Cut.

Happy to see Patrick getting some recognition on the interwebs.  Next up, the real starts of the show: Patrick’s parents.

Isn’t amazing how the merest whiff of basic human decency can get you branded as a left wing loon nowadays?

What’s hilarious is, the commenters on here who are knocking Jalopnik for criticizing Musk, questioning John Oliver’s reporting, or defending Musk’s views and statements - aren’t even Elon Musk fans most of the time. They’re conservatives who agree with most of what he thinks and says, so an attack on him is an attack…

While I 100% agree and wish this was the case, I think the OEMs would see this as eating into new car purchases. Having the latest tech is a good incentive to upgrade to the latest model- offering the tech without the car means you’re selling fewer cars.  

Yeah the fact that the car runs everything through the headunit nowadays is moronic and creates nothing but issues. 

It’s DC - every new Bill or Regulation has a name to build awareness and advocacy, hopefully:

Head over to the Autopian if you want better quality journalism. This place is strictly for comment section arguments. 

There are native speakers who can barely speak or write English so don’t feel too bad. You’re more literate than like 40% of us Americans.

I’m a native English speaker, and I constantly have to remember that “harassment” has one r and two s’s, but “embarrassment” has two r’s and two s’s. I remember by pronouncing it HAREesment (the way the Brits do), not herASSment, the way US does.

IIRC the most recent two with Grimes were both in vitro (his sperm, her egg) and a surrogate carried the children and gave birth to them.

That’s kind of a shit headline. The cops were not reposessing the truck. They responded after the repossessor called the cops after the attempt was unsuccessful with them allegedly being threatened with a firearm. Their response not withstanding, the police were not reposessing the truck. Not saying the police…

Much like that unironic Bentley Flying Spur that was in a news a week or so ago.

Ayup, willing to put mo ey on it being too much right foot action, and too little eyeline attention, on his part. Hope they subpoena his cellphone records too.

As much as we jump to conclusions involving drugs or alcohol in cases like these, his car is called SUPERFAST without a hint of irony, so this might be the reason, just much more speed than what he was able to handle.

Well, this is part of Gran Turismo’s Vision branding that’s been around since 2013. The only car company that I can think of that uses Vision outside the game is Mercedes, and they’ve been doing it at least as far back as 1999 with the Vision SLR. It’s not new nor will it end anytime soon.

You evil, I clicked on the “Load more comments” from your picture like 4 o 5 times before I realized it was from your damn picture.
