Musk could have just kept his hands off the site, let it run at a billion dollar annual deficit, and by 2050 its operating losses just might have totalled the amount that it’s lost in the last year thanks to his direct involvement.

I'm curious where he got the idea that armies will "pretend to attack" to lull the enemy into a state of unreadiness for the real attack. I don't know much about war but that does not sound like a thing. There is feinting to distract the enemy from your intended target but that's not the same thing.

Did he actually "design" a submarine or did he just happen to have one built that could maybe be repurposed to do the task? I can't remember, I wasn't really paying attention at the time.

It's one thing if he had a submersible that Tesla or SpaceX had made for some reason and he was trying to make it relevant even if it was a bad fit. But if his response to the urgent need of kids trapped and dying in a cave was to ... kick off a design and R&D effort for a brand new project, uh

And you can just imagine being the various governments involved going, well er okay yes sir Elon that's very well sir but ... and you know, just tiptoeing around so as not to suggest they have anything less than the utmost confidence in the unfathomably wealthy super genius whose mind obviously works faster than any of theirs and they dare not incur his wrath or scorn or imply that he is anything less than the savior of humanity, because then he will not strew his largesse upon your country when the time comes to reap the rewards of being aligned with him, visibly part of his loyal retinue

I'm also catching up on this thread so this is from a few pages back but I'm wondering about the wiper fluid situation with these windshields...does it pour out from the top or get sprayed up with a wide nozzle, high pressure system? It's a lot of real estate to cover and one stupid three part wiper...and then there's the question of how much gets used per spray and how large is the reservoir under the hood?

There are cars with the sprayers mounted on the wiper arms, but I’m sure that Tesla can find a way to gently caress this up in a unique and interesting way.

What do you think Elon's "peak" was? When those 2 rockets landed side-by-side I thought that was pretty damned cool but it has been 100% downhill since then.

That was after the child submarine incident, and there’s no way that his peak was after the child submarine incident.
