Not really imo. The problem solar roads solves is "we don't have anywhere to put all these solar panels" which is not a problem that, y,know, exists.
There's tons of space to put solar panels yet. The actual problem is that they cost money to make, and solar roads only exacerbates that one (by drastically increasing the durability requirements).

Literally right next to the road is better in most cases.

Solar roadways are a great idea that only requires the invention of glass that is proof against weather extremes, that supports the weight of multi-tonne vehicles, that is both pitted enough for tyres to have traction on but also somehow does not get clogged with particulates that would block light, all while maintaining a cost-effectiveness that rivals simply dumping hot sludge on the ground and being thin and transparent enough to not interfere with light passing through it so it can perform the actual function you're putting it in for. No biggie.

Then you have to build the electric network.

I think it would be easier just to make the roads a thermal power type thing to collect the heat energy made from burning Teslas, which if used to power the making of more teslas could than create a very self contained circle of life'esq power cycle.

Pretty disingenuous to leverage these societal rules that are meant to protect anonymous women from having creepshots taken of them and posted online, and using them to protect a dangerously stupid powerful man

The issue of the filming of Prime Minister Marin wasn't about it being a nightclub. It was nasty small men using it as an excuse to hurt a powerful woman. That's why the filming was wrong.

The issue of the filming of deputy PM Varadkar at a gay club was homophobia. Marginalised community spaces deserve privacy precisely because of this. People can literally be killed because of this. That's why the filming was wrong.

Neither applies to Musk.

gently caress Musk.

Goons that have never been to a nightclub telling on themselves about what they think they are

There are actual photographers everywhere at those clubs, hired by promoters and club owners. There is zero expectation of privacy and no one gives a gently caress about a cellphone video.

All the local free indie papers have half a dozen pages dedicated to just photos of people clubbing.

Those monsters.

Beat me to it. Yeah the original tweet just seems like a person surprised that musk was at the same party.

That said, I'm going to freely laugh at the most pathetic, hesitant hand raise towards the end there. Like his brain is all "Do... Do I raise my hands in the air? Should I wait for... What do the kids call it, the drop?" He just looks so awkward, lol

Yeah. It's not an "own", it's just people laughing at this goony gently caress.

Elon probably has to check every potential new hire's social media accounts for jokes to steal

But honestly it baffles me that people would want to work for any of his companies at this point. Tesla and SpaceX have always been horrible grindhouses from the few people I know who have worked there. I'm in semiconductors and I wouldn't DREAM of applying to any musk company, jesus.

You know how some companies are making an effort to mask names and other demographic indicators of applicants from hiring managers so the process is fairer? Musk heard about that and wanted to do the exact opposite.
