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

[8ball]

Superloopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
Elon will show us what he can do
With a dead social media platform and a shitty truck


Needs work

I'm having trouble fitting it to the tune after the first two lines.

There is also The Superloop in South East London which is, happily, unconnected to Elon.

There's a Superloop in West London too. One day soon they'll all join up.

A loop pool. Welcome to the Palindrome!

You know those photo collages which are something like "dog or pastry"?

Someone should do one of those with the Vegas loop and, y'know, a tunnel.

Actually, possibly more accurately, it looks like cars boarding another vehicle like a ferry or train.

It looks like a hot wheels play set and I await the cars accelerating at Mach 10 and hitting the sofa

Has Musk moved into heating tech now? I've just had this email in my junk box...

His cars go on fire for free. Is that his tip?

Thats that thing that youtube adds have been pushing, trustpilot says its a crappy swindle

Any form of heating, apart from heat pumps, uses the same amount of energy to give the same amount of heat. Fan heaters will push the heat around more, but raising the temperature of the room by a set amount will use the same amount of energy.
Heat pumps will move heat from one area to another and use less energy than the energy moved to move the energy.

The valuation hit is the biggest ever for Tesla, dinged by price cuts in China and Hertz’s EV sale.

I got a lot of weird spam emails for this. I assume Twitter has sold my email address.

El0n can keep his heater

Stop trying to blind us with logic and physics and all that clever stuff.

Neighbour was going to buy some incredibly expensive German storage heaters with high-tech innards that claimed to be more efficient than other electrical heaters. I gently explained to her that this was bollocks and electrical heaters are 100% efficient nomatter what they've got in them.

Iinfra-red heaters can be more effective because they feel warmer because of the radiant heat but still no more efficient.

I dislike infrared heaters as I start to feel warm, but the air stays cold, so any draught is really noticeable and cold and cools me down really quickly.

It can go too far the other way though. Not keen on draughts, but would rather have a warm body in cool air. Warm air can feel stifling, as if you’re in a greenhouse.
As Martin Lewis says, it’s better to warm the body rather than the home.

He may very well have two sheds, but I suspect it’s a Monty Python reference

That clip (not our own two sheds) reminds me of Steve Two Shirts Bannon, who is similarly guarded about his moniker.

“Never two. N-e-v-e-r t-w-o,” his spokesperson said of the exact number of shirts worn by Bannon himself at any given time. “Never one. Certainly n-e-v-e-r o-n-e. And most of the time never two. It’s usually three, he usually has three shirts on.”

Here’s Why Steve Bannon Wears So Many Shirts

His spokesperson and other highly knowledgeable play sources attempt to explain the former presidential counselor’s questionable fashion choice.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard him speak. Has he got a South African accent or has that slipped?

"most of the time never"? That's not never then, that's "usually not".
