Makes you think about that spacex certification data.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 52 points 5 days ago

Everything he touches is either a lie or becomes one. It's why he and the orange pedo got along and then didn't, neither one lives in the same zip code as objective reality.

they really do blow up the most expensive rockets

'Allegedly' could single wordedly build a pyramid

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'm a millionaire "allegedly"

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're using the word wrong. Allegedly means 'definitely did it without a shadow of a doubt, but for legal reasons we have to put this word in'

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I did use it incorrectly, allegedly.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Fitting username...

Unrelated, i love your username.

[–] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I’m a quadrillionaire allegedly.

[–] brendansimms@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago

'Showed cooked data' .... you mean 'Committed Fraud'

[–] eleijeep@piefed.social 36 points 5 days ago (1 children)

When will someone be facing criminal charges for this?

Enough people have died getting literally cooked in Tesla cars, unable to get out, for me to never want to get in one of them on purpose.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Of course they did. And there’s no consequences because muskrat embedded himself amongst every government agency

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

This is for approval in Europe, I don't believe he is embedded in European government agencies, that seems to be a US problem.

And yet nobody has been arrested…

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

He is a little bit, on the far right side

[–] tirateimas@lemmy.pt 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Me.
I thought they'd just bribe and threaten the people checking instead.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 3 points 5 days ago

Thing is, it just takes one person with a spine to completely upend things if you try to do it that way. Too risky.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

One dead yesterday in Texas...FSD didn't even slow down and ran into a house.

The fucking idiot using FSD didn't die, just someone grandma sitting in her living room.

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 4 points 5 days ago

Wtf, it sounds like the Tesla was going 60+mph in a residential area... Is this another case of the driver holding the throttle down preventing autopilot from braking? That's what happened on the first case Tesla lost too

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Hyperloop is up and running and we've already been to mars, right??

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I can't believe he doesn't get more shit for that whole Hyperloop debacle.

The hype around it was a big part of his whole elevation in the media to "Real-life Tony Stark" status. Engineers who called it out as impractical half-baked nonsense were ignored or ridiculed, but now that they've been proven correct everyone's just moved on and forgotten about the whole thing.

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Hyperloop was nonsense from day one. That's why all Musk did way publish some vague white paper and hype it up while staying himself clear of any of that. Its only purpose was to kill California High Speed rail anyway.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The conventional wisdom is that he's still a genius but was masterfully playing 4-D chess.

Personally I don't believe it, I think he genuinely did think he was being a genius and that it was going to happen.

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I doubt that. No 4D-chess required. He absolutely refused to invest anything into Hyperloop from the start nor did any of his companies do work on it. He may have been high on his own supply with rockets and self drivingbut certainly not with Hyperloop. Just follow the money.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

His goal achieved: blocking rail. More wasn't important.

Since Trump and the tech bros I learned a lot about swarm behavior and also neurodivergence.

For one, the (human) swarm is generally really dumb, so roughly the lowest common denominator. That itself is not the issue, but it forgets. It's really really forgetful and easily distracted.

So just throw up the next idea and everything will focus on that. It's even worse that the media is mostly owned by a few, adding to that.

Basically all this results in enabling this behavior. I remember, but most do not. That's where neurodivergence comes in, if we're focused we do not get diatracted. We remember better in that case, but few listen.

Oh and those that were ridiculed also never get an apology. So can you blame them for decoupling from the fate of humanity?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

My solar roof is getting installed right after the traffic tunnels are built, right?

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah really, no way! I am shocked!

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I hope he doesn't cook data to get manned Mars shots approved. Or some astronauts will get cooked.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 days ago

Anyone who actually goes along with that wouldn't be a real astronaut, just a sycophant, so.. I'm ok with it.

yeah, my trike gets me to the next town and back. it's always the teslas that don't give room on the road or swerve at me on 25mph roads when i'm doing 20. it's either the FSD or the driver, you decide.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fuck Elon and all of his garbage (imho)

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 days ago

Allegedly fuck Elon

What? No way, Elon Musk is a saint and they should change the face of that statue in Rio de Janeiro of some unknown wimp to his! 😭

I mean I don't really have to tell you it's satire, do I? Boil him, mash him, put him in a stew.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Allegedly? ... They've been cooking the books for years about all sorts of things.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Tesla: "chat, are we cooked?"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

What the Nazi is a criminal. Who would think it?

[–] BioDriver@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago
[–] darkmogool@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah… no shit…
