Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I don't have anything to say that the title doesn't already. Consider my gast to be flabbered, my gob to be smacked. I hate this timeline.

What, have they learnt how to knock down children intentionally, instead of just because of gross negligence?

Well the good news is Musk said it, so you can be confident it's a half truth at best.

Realistically, this is a half witted attempt at marketing

Elektrek is a notorious pro-Tesla website.

hey I didn’t expect this to have to be a warning, but to the folks in the cheap seats: telling a TechTakes poster to not have takes on tech is both annoying as fuck and a fast way to catch a ban

That’s why we are tracking the effort really closely and see if there’s any chance Tesla can make Musk’s prediction true with just a few months left in the year.

that ark from SG: Ark Of Truth? I don't think I'd hesitate using it. I realize they all got swindled, but it still blows my mind that there are people out there even halfway believing this shit (in every form of the lie)

Jeez, the lies come strong and easy to tell with this one.

Most realistic Musk sales pitch.

So the cars are running people over and drifting between lanes on purpose? I suppose if I woke up and realised I was a Tesla car, I'd develop homicidal impulses too.

"elon says"

Let me stop you right there, hoss. You can't believe a single thing from that chodelet. He's just trying to stay ~~in the news.~~ relevant

why would you try and stop anyone from dunking on musk?

[–] bloopernova@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not, I didn't realize it sounded like I was defending the chodelet. I've edited the comment.
