Is Elon Musk the greatest visionary or the greatest snake oil salesman of our age?

It's the 'you are here' that gets me, not 'I am here because I'm a negative minded little scaredy cat' but 'you are..' like wake up sheeple!!11!

My life falls between a load of other books, all non fiction (plus a bit of poetry maybe)

So I'm at the intersection of ALL the dystopias? If I get to cherry-pick the best parts of all of them I think maybe I could come up with something vaguely OK.

This was one of my favourite pandemic-era tweets:

Yeah, I don't think Musk spent more than a few seconds thinking about it, it's a meme that's been around for at least a few years with plenty of variations, all of which seem to fail as Venn diagrams.

Spot on. It's the all knowingness, tipping the fedora. You silly folk, can't you see where you are?

The other one was technically wrong but you could see what they were trying to do.

This, on the other hand…
Is pretty special.

No, I looked at that diagram and I’m none the wiser about anything, really.

Musk says he can't get fair trial in California, wants Texas

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk has urged a federal judge to shift a trial in a shareholder lawsuit out of San Francisco because he says negative local media coverage has biased potential jurors against him.

apnews.com

“For the last several months, the local media have saturated this district with biased and negative stories about Mr. Musk,” attorney Alex Spiro wrote in a court filing. Those news items have personally blamed Musk for recent layoffs at Twitter, Spiro wrote, and have charged that the job cuts may have even violated laws.

Personally blame him for layoffs because he personally made the decision, perhaps?

Save a 20 minute walk because walking is a Bad Thing

Does that 20 include the walk to and from the loop entrance/exit, down to the cars and the queues? It really does seem like a really dumb arse idea even if it does save you 20 minutes.

Coloured lights!! The man’s a genius!!

Coloured lights and no fire suppression. Genius

Even if none of the Teslas catch fire, I could still see an accident in one of those narrow single-lane tunnels being a nightmare to sort out. Apparently there are no maintenance or escape tunnels down there. Could be a tragedy waiting to happen.

What happens if one of them breaks down?

And LOL, listening to Tiesto and Deadmau5 in your inefficient rainbow tunnel.

I have seen the future, and it was scripted in great detail by Chris Morris two decades ago

Not always.

When the wife and I were there last we had a flight booked over the Grand Canyon. It (the flight) was cancelled due to snow

You can imagine one of the fanboys frantically reaching for their phone to tweet about how much of a genius Elon is before they’re barbecued to death.

 

[DaveCinzano]

barbecued to death.

I believe that's called high temperature oxidative beta-testing
