imagine physically embedding the fucking musk into your brain, VOLUNTARILY. i can't imagine anything worse in the world
People are still driving Teslas right now. Pretty much the same in my book. You're trusting your life to a proven moron.
Elongated Muskrat has very little to do with the inner works of the company now. Even in the heights of his involvement, by his own account, his input was tangential at best, like "we make expensive car now, use this money to make cheaper car" and "we call it x because x is the best name ever"
Don't forget "The Tesla Model series will spell out SEXY" and "Oh, Ford already claimed Model E? Model 3 it is, 1337!"
The most important of decisions
The ongoing litigation against the company begs to differ. Also didn't Musk step down as CEO of Twitter a while back? It seems his tangential bullshit has quite an impact. I'll be honest I think the people actually working at Tesla do their best to try to moderate his unadulterated fuck ups. But they're not safe from it and neither is anyone else who does business with them.
Well the disabled people getting this implant probably don't care about musk, it's legitimately a cool technology and good competition for the medical space.
Musk is a cuck still, and I'm sure we'll have to wait a couple generations before we get the dystopian stuff in Neurallink
Yup. Gotta sell it as a medical miracle before you can sell it as a commercial product.
I can... there are literally people who are willing to participate in Musk's Mars colonization fantasies. They stand about as much chance of success (or survival) as those people who got imploded in that Titanic sub - except their deaths won't be as quick and merciful.
Imagine living on Mars in a tiny hut that you can never leave while you slowly starve to death all while Musk is telling everyone on Earth how cool an successful his new colony is. New volunteers continue to arrive in waves while promises go unfulfilled and an endless line of corporate stooges tells you that you are lying about the conditions.
At least the new arrivals will have a fresh supply of meat - Mars is pretty cold, after all.
I'd encourage those people, less dumbasses on our planet.
I'm starting to get some real Golgafrincham vibes.
But some people if they get the chance they would even eat musk poop.
Apparently at least the downvoters on that post, yes.
