She stated on her Twitter that it was more of a joke, where all of the appointed outlets for charging were already occupied so she chose to find another one in a shame corner, so I guess she didn't insist on people giving her theirs.

Oh. So it didn't happen and she just wanted attention. Because the cyborg arm wasn't enough attention. Got it.

It was one of the usual Koch commercials that are super vague. There is a montage of cyborgs (her included) and the narration is all, "Koch is all about advancing humanity. We are not evil. WE ARE NOT EVIL!"

I think she uses her arm to fire a bow, which is pretty badass.

As you said, there's a massive overlap between tech people and nazis. But even setting that aside... I dunno, it's tough. they're both just horrible.

I think it's in reference to this tweet, where Musk basically describes a bus stop:

It's a bus entirely separate and fully underground from whatever existing public transit system LA already has. It's about as insular from the common rabble as you can get without actually putting the stops themselves behind actual paywalls.

If you think he's lying, that's fine, but nothing about the outward presentation thus far suggests anything but a mass transit system geared specifically towards the kinds of people who need mass transit.

You understand that Musk's vacuum tube Techno bus is going to be way more expensive than regular buses, right? The Silicon Valley dipshits who ride that thing aren't gonna be sitting next to their maids, because the maids won't be able to afford it.

You need a link to support the idea that a brand new transit system involving a massive underground tunnel system built to create and sustain vacuum while also opening dozens of times per day via hundreds of car elevators to transport this new kind of see through plastic pleasure bus is going to be more expensive than the regular buses that he have now? Really? You really need to see documentation to support the claim that a massive infrastructure project based around the implementation of vacuum tube technology at a scale never before seen, and also the installation of hundreds of giant street level elevators in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, is going to cost more than buses? Buses, the things that even the poorest countries in the world have? Which are basically just big trucks and operate on existing roads?

I'm really trying not to be insulting here, but it's real fuckin' hard. Does your brain work? Can you form thoughts?
