I once had a boss who, upon learning that a critical piece of deeply complex software failed largely because he dropped the ball on getting us necessary support from another team, said he would “just rewrite it over the weekend.” I’m waiting for that Musk nugget to drop any day now tbh

in the early days after he took over he would often casually mention a need to "totally rewrite" the codebase

I want the Grandpa Burger from that A&W Canada. Wow they have a bunch more burgers than A&W USA



Elon sucks

A&W Canada is a totally independent business entity from the US one. And there are so many of them. Tiny towns with a population of like 1000 have a&w. Every road trip we hit a&w somewhere. You can get bacon egg hash and toast breakfast on a china plate with cutlery. You can sub beyond burger into anything. It rules

Might as well ask Elon whether Neuralink can upgrade our eyes to have that tapetum lucidum that animals have in the back that make them able to see in the dark. He'll say yes.

I mean holy gently caress how can a brain chip augment the lens in your eyes to see infrared and poo poo? It hasn't evolved to see these frequencies because we don't need to see them.

Doesn't even mention the rabbit's name or any details in that post. Not even using it as an excuse to throw out the hilarious reference he named the bunny after, like "Watership Down!" or something. It's just "the rabbit", because that's how pet owners talk about their beloved pets.

Yeah, that rabbit is dead.

On the bright side I think it’s highly likely there never was a pet rabbit and he just made that story up as yet another example of his limitless charity and selfless love for all living things. And of course his zany sense of humour, his legendary knack for off-the-cuff goofs and gags. What a card! If you ask tallulah about it she’d prob be like “what are you taking about” lol

It sounds stupid to us because we understand Musk but this kind of thing is actually really effective when actual human sociopaths do it.

Is it not curious too that the never heard before anecdote of him pulling a literal rabbit from a literal hat, is actually that he bought a rabbit that someone else pulled from their own hat, much like all of the business ventures he “founded”? gently caress this I’m going to bed
