Tesla is now an AI and robotics company. Car manufacturing is BORING and is for LOSERS. Elon wants to do rockets, AI, and robots.

Car companies are hard because you’re trying to make a physical product that people can count so you actually have to do stuff and be good at it.

AI/tech companies don’t even have to make a profit, all you have to do is sell vibes and hype to investors. By the time investors realise it’s all vapourware you’ve made off with billions and left them holding the bag.

The Tesla Model Y in particular has very good safety ratings, although it should be noted that safety ratings only measure how well the vehicle performs in crash tests and not, eg, accidentally driving one into a lake.

It's not actually that impressive. EVs in general tend to ace safety tests, especially for small cars, because they have all the traditional modern safety features coupled with an absurd amount of mass for their size*; they can absorb a ton of kinetic energy and will basically never roll-over. Other than the Y, Teslas are actually pretty mediocre for safety compared to other EVs.

Also, note the claim: "highest possible safety rating" is not "safest possible car". That just means the Y got 5 stars from the IIHS. Which is good! But it's also something that pretty much every major auto manufacturer manages to accomplish with at least one vehicle that they make. The Ford Explorer has the highest possible safety rating. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has the highest possible safety rating. loving Kia makes an SUV that has the highest possible safety rating.

*Which makes all EVs, and teslas in particular, much more dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers.

All this time when people said musk created zip2 I never thought about it too hard and figured it was something highly technical like zip compression, or possibly software for something related to zip drives. I never even considered how illogical it would have been for PayPal to acquire something like that.

Ugh, so it's just a phone/business directory website? I can't really think of a less impressive project. It's like something they would assign in a comp sci course. And on top of that they said the code was so amateurly written it couldn't really be expanded or fixed so had to be rewritten. Incredible thing to brag about

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



zip2 was bought by altavista during the rush to be the defacto search engine for the web. he used that cash to set up x.com, which merged with paypal in the rush to be the defacto financial transactor for the web.
