No, no, no. He’s a misunderstood genius who’s unfairly portrayed as a giant idiot chucklefuck by the biased media. I have read many unbiased articles that conclusively prove otherwise.

You want links to these articles? To read them for yourself?

No, I’d prefer not to share them ITT

Yeah, both Roiland and Harmon, the co-creators, have a connection to Musk. Harmon had him as a guest on his podcast years ago and made a big deal out of being friends with him.

Well, I dunno. Haven't really thought about it.

I just asked "Why do they not?" because I was curious and hoped someone could explain it to me. Seems like a simple question?

If you want to know how smart Elon is. He’s smart enough to get a BA in physics but not smart enough to take upper division classes and get a BS.

Respectable but you’ll find smarter people all over the place.

Does regular steel and nuclear reactor float? I think once upon a time, people were skeptical about steel ships. Didn't realize some of them are still alive.

What happens when the CybertruckTM becomes a boat? Does it just get carried off wherever the current is going, or is Musk imagining it’ll deploy a concealed rudder and propeller to “drive” to shore, ala James Bond?

Fun fact: on early Model 3s you’d end up with water in the trunk if you opened the lid, due to a design flaw.

IDK, the company's behavior so for has been consistent with making new vehicles that didn't previously exist eventually exist. I think they can pull it off a 5th time.

You think that Tesla, the company that produces panel gaps that happen to have a barely-functional car somewhere between them, can mass-produce a land vehicle watertight enough to cross a sea

I appreciate your patience, this is a tricky maneuver
he's an expert at making the impossible possible in the car space, which i know because before Musk bought Tesla there was no such thing as an electric car, or a Tesla car concept, except that both of those things definitely existed before he cut a check and took credit, look what i'm saying is i am very smart and i know a lot about this stuff

That does seem a little far-fetched, but we've got some posters here incredulous at the idea that Tesla is capable of producing vehicles at all.

Yes, and storage of the ones it does produce, and transport since they tore out their railroad connection and deliberately pissed off the rail companies- companies capable of holding century-long grudges- and also their factories are overworked unsafe deathtraps because Musk doesn't like the idea of hazard warnings.

And the cars they do manage to produce that are actually up to standard- which is a shockingly small proportion given the problems with the ones that they consider up to standard* - aren't doing anything new apart from an extremely inefficient battery power load balancer and trying to do self-driving using only image recognition. They are notoriously bad cars.

*Norwegian Tesla owners started a hunger strike with a list of grievances including that the cars don't start when it's cold, they don't start when it's warm, the cars are rusting when bought new, and the doors randomly open during operation.

I love how America's obsession with sending text messages (akin to the Japanese and their thing with fax machines) has led to so many idiots getting caught saying or doing stupid rear end poo poo. Maybe some day the US will wise up to how much worse text messages are for privacy than other lovely-but-slighty-safer options with end-to-end encryption, but I don't think it will be during this decade.
