“investors are getting worried that big boss Elon Musk is distracted”

Careful now, starting next year, they will be the preferred class. They will be hired into DHS to work as migrant bounty hunters. And if they kill anyone, Trump will pardon them. They can be victims of authoritarianism, too. But for a while, they will be the strong arm of the autocrat.

And then they have the temerity to call normal people “snowflakes.”

lol people are so fucking stupid to think that A. they’re important enough to warrant drone surveillance, and B. that a small ass drone can carry anything in the way of advanced photography or surveillance equipment in the first place.

Sky net planned for this, Walmart will make the drones bulletproof and bingo bango that tech will be on the reapers. 

“after dumping 50k into my 750k suv I can finally beat a 65k suv in  drag race” isnt exactly a great bragging position 

Not a bad package, but pretty uninspiring. 

Seriously this is our best option? Treat it just like some star link sat. So like everything orbiting us right now going to just be crashed into an ocean. Ya cue problems in 10-20 years of weird space metals in oceans killing the few fish left.

Funny how police departments can suddenly find all kinds of reasons to fire a cop who enforces the law on rich folks.

Suspect that in most cities and towns if the police consistently enforced the letter of the law for traffic offenses most folks would be astounded and pissed.

While in general I very much think the Earth has a massive human over-population problem, declining populations DO cause all sorts of problems. The BIG one for Japan and Korea and other low-birthrate countries is not enough working people to support the massive elderly population, both directly through caring for…

If only there was a way to open a lock without electricity...

Declining birth rates are, in fact, a normal response to societies exiting poverty. When you no longer need to have multiple kids because some of them won’t make it to adulthood, when you get access to birth control and education and careers, there’s way less pressure to have kids, and to give more to the fewer kids…

He’s alienating progressives, who are most likely to buy an EV, and cozying up with conservatives, who are least likely to buy an EV. That doesn’t really bode well when you’re the CEO of a company that only makes EVs.

It could be a brilliant strategy if it weren’t for the folks impressed by his BS also being the least likely to buy an EV because of the culture wars...

Tesla’s sales numbers are actually shrinking a little, though. Which for a company that’s valued like a tech stock with insane growth potential is a bit of an issue. I’m sure Elon will get right on that once he’s properly incentivized, though...

I wonder why this is a problem that bELONgs only to Tesla. Weird.

Making your face the brand identity, and then making “scumbag” your brand, really working out well for Elon and Tesla. Totally worth those billions.

I’m bringing you out of the greys to tell you how wrong you are.

Right I would call the Fit (RIP), Fiesta (RIP), Yaris (RIP), Mazda 2 (RIP), and the Nissan Versa (still alive somehow?) subcompact.
