I believe this is the part where we get sued for not buying his cars.
Don't give him any ideas!
I'm sure he already calls his lawyers every day at 3 AM while half blitzed on K to pitch exactly that
I think he would be relieved to get rid of Tesla if someone would buy it. The full self-driving promise was always a matter of interpretation, and the cars they build are more expensive symbols of status than practical products. Tesla can’t compete with global EV manufacturers, that’s a Damocles sword waiting to fall.
SpaceX is where the money is now, and all the electric innovation Tesla did can be used for something else.
There's nothing to interpret. It does not fully drive itself.
Musk is neither a Tesla nor an Edison; he is a Barnum.
Not safely anyway.
Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for us, he undoubtedly has full control over whichever department defines the word "safely".
Only usable for federal highways, shit could still be banned by the DMVs or equivalents which would basically be a death knell for it.
@OutlierBlue @TeamAssimilation but it will next year, right? Let's just ignore all those times it's veered into the wrong lane or onto train tracks or whatever, it's fine. Next year, next year, next year.
And Mars in a decade.
Starship was supposed to be doing trips to mars each year by last year. Instead it has sometimes managed to not explode on a suborbital trajectory. But of course regulations are what hold it back...
And he wonders why NASA turned him down for bringing those astronauts back...
SpaceX turns the impossible into late
Musk is getting $8 million each day from the US government to destroy the US government. He was given $44 billion to destroy Twitter. He's not worried about money.
Like companies getting sued for not advertising on Twitter
That was the joke, yes
