Zuck was ready. It was Musk who backed down.

I am all for EV’ing a Land Rover or something else terribly unreliable. But EV’ing probably the most reliable platform in automotive history? Hard pass.

Frankly, 2 things that would save way more lives, be easier to implement, and would not introduce Big Brother tracking:

This idiot earned money somehow to buy that Audi and ist wrap, and you need a SSN to get a paycheck, unless he only deals with cash. How did he even get to this point though? How did he buy the drone? So many questions...

You should have been writing the article.

“Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” are a special feature of late-stage Capitalism, and part of the Private Equity bag of tricks for extracting blood from a stone. You create a company with no actual business, but sell shares in it none the less. You use the money from selling the shares to buy something. If you…

The big question is, who fucking cares? Why this matters at all is beyond me.

Who gives a shit, really?

Every fucking photograph in magazines is photoshopped, modified, whatever.

I don’t understand why people even care about minor edits on photos.  not like everyone has the same perceptions of what a good edit or cleanup, or photo even is.   Sure if someone is passing of something completely fake as real I could understand.  but beyond that its just a form of bullying.   seriously it would be…

The good news is that he now gets excellent 5G reception.

lol, 90k for a fucking Ram? In this interest rate environment? Youre starting to get near Range Rover territory here.

Exactly. It’s RIGHT THERE in the article. He estimated his direct expenses were about $24k but he was actually able to deduct $44k off his gross earnings using the mileage deduction.  $20k is the part of his income he had to pay taxes on.

Plus, that $38k in Uber fees were never his to start with? Doesn’t Uber collect everything, and then pay him out what he is owed? Attributing that $38k in fees as if it were his income, seems a bit silly from a book keeping perspective. Seems like the article should really say that the Uber driver generated $103k in…

This is BS. His take home was more like $40k. The mileage deduction is intended to cover his vehicle maintenance, fuel, car depreciation, etc. It shouldn’t be counted twice. Plus, his car was likely near worthless with well over 300k miles at the start of last year, so the depreciation is inflated.

In this comments section it seems people don’t realize that rotten.com and everything else that desensitized a generation have not been available for most young people in college right now.

Okay, those images sound pretty vile.  But to go to the hospital over it?????

Not sure why this story is featured on Jalopnik as it has nothing to do with Elon Musk. Still pretty interesting though..

...the breach included a wealth of customer data points, including their “name, address, phone number, Social Security number, date of birth, bank account number.”
