He also said in his shareholder speech that Optimus would replace the penal system by following offenders around to prevent them committing crimes. He’s a fucking moron who’s been able to get away with making up complete bullshit to pump Tesla’s stock price for years and for some reason people STILL treat him with credulity.

You love to see it

Just a note about the solar panels: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-tesla-puerto-rico-renewable-energy_n_5ca51e99e4b082d775dfec35

Musk has promised a lot of things publically over the years but for the most part it’s all part of curating his image as a genius philanthropist, and the reality has almost never matched the promises.

For example, his promise up donate ventilators to help with COVID (which he himself had said at the start of the pandemic would be over in a couple of months) that ended up being not the expensive ventilators that were needed, but much cheaper CPAP machines that are fairly useless for dealing with COVID unless they’re extensively modified. Oh, and then a couple of years later he accused ventilator use of killing a bunch of COVID patients and said he could’ve told doctors that would happen because he “builds life support systems for spaceships”. Then why donate them in the first place?

There’s been many other examples over the years but the point is the guy has didn’t his entire career moulding the public’s opinion of him, long enough I think that he began to believe his own publicity. Now he’s let the mask slip enough that there’s no putting it back on.

This is from the guy whose rocket company is being investigated by the EPA for polluting local water sources and destroying the habitat of endangered species.

Elon Musk and a board of directors that are controlled by Elon Musk.

There’s been some discussion over the years that Tesla never seriously tried to make the battery swap work, that they did it to claim subsidies from California which they subsequently never returned to the taxpayers.

Oh, yeah I think you’re right. I think I might’ve changed it at some point.

Just checked and it’s under system > gestures > press and hold power button

I also have a pixel 6 and holding down power also works, though you have to wait a second. Power and volume up is instant.

It’s true he craves power but more than anything he craves validation that he’s a cool smart dude, which he really isn’t.

Well yes, in China.
