Hows that thing even on the fuckin road?

Who's insuring it with zero crash test data?

They can either self-insure or have an agreement with an insurer that has them paying a premium to insure prototypes.

Its not really unusual?

people poo poo on Elon Musk for getting hair transplants, and, like, yeah, it's fun to poo poo on the absolute trainwreck this man is, but there's nothing gross or weird or shameful about hair loss, hair loss doesn't make hims evil or an awful person, hair loss is normal, and when we perpetuate stereotypes about balding having only negative associations, it can be distressing to people who are just having normal hair loss to see it always having negative connotations

the making GBS threads upon hair transplants is not for going bald, it's for being an insecure baby who gets hair transplants rather than accepting it and thereby perpetuating the exact negative associations you are bemoaning, op

hell, it is pretty funny to consider that all the cosmetic surgery elon has gotten in an effort not to look the way he does, like getting his jawline redone, is reasonably described as gender-affirming

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Car makers can just self-insure their test vehicles. They’ll just pay the damage out of pocket.

goddamn google plus was so much better for so much less time. loving Google killing everything before it can take off. Waves owned too. And GChat.

One of my friends was an early adopter of G+ and posted there with some long, very interesting threads/discussions. He took his own life in 2012. I went back to look at his threads once in a while. Now I can't.
That's awful, and I can't begin to imagine how much it hurts. The Internet is not an archive, but we rely on it to be.

I realize that time means nothing and the last three years are one unbearable blur. The timeline I remember is:
1. Musk tweets lots of insults to Twitter and starts buying stock.
2. Twitter invites him onto the board, but he'll have to go through normal being-on-a-board evaluation.
3. Musk is insulted.
4. Musk goes back to insulting Twitter.
5. A Twitter board member says, yo, Elon, you absolutely cannot be on the board if you pull poo poo like this.
6. (within hours IIRC) Elon says fine, I am buying twitter, $420/share.

So there's no evidence that his daughter had anything at all to do with what passes for his thought processes.

yeah that’s the one I remember

Not at all. Its done all the time, especially if its a prototype for a device that could potentially cause grievous bodily harm or death.

The car maker is often waived from the liability insurance requirement with the idea that you can sue them for damages and they can pay it, unlike a private citizen driver.

I know how to build a corset that would produce those perky boobs, but I think a bulletproof vest normally covers the shoulders.

This is also why he has a wierd flabby chest, he's bought the easy solution to getting extremely buff (steroids) but won't put it then work needed to make them actually grow muscle (any amount of exercise at all).

Yes. I'm not sure Musk even bothered to issue an explanation, just unbanned him.

It's almost impossible to parse anything that comes out of Grimes, but she apparently hasn't been allowed to see her other kid that was delivered via surrogate, and is upset that one of Elon's other kids with that exec at neurolink (Shivon in the second pic) who were also delivered via surrogacy was given a name by Elon that she had wanted to give to her surrogate kid that would be born shortly after the other surrogate twins? I don't know what the gently caress, but she wrote a poem about it previously:




Can't imagine why his kids hate him after seeing what he does to their moms.
