its all pretty funny imo except the mass transpo company which seems just another obvious attempt to undercut public transpo with a car dependent future

not even sure he even believes he can build his tunnels and suction tubes might be purely an attempt to inject chaos into the public transpo planning process

pushing battery industry forward through demand
But not fulfilled with Tesla/Panasonic batteries. Elon makes all the noise but LG and Samsung make all the sales. Even the 120MW big battery in Australia is full of Samsung cells. It keeps my day interesting that he keeps sprinkling the tech but it’s it where the money is going.

The thing that really annoys me most about Elon is his name. I really want him to be called Elton Musk. Like a seedy jazz saxophonist from the 70s.

"I am super super serious," Musk said of his candy idea. He also tweeted a movie clip from the animated "Trolls," with characters dancing to Justin Timberlake’s song "Can’t Stop The Feeling!" Musk didn’t provide an explanation for the video.

my favorite headline of the day: Musk's Stock-Option Tweet May Invite U.S. Labor Board Complaint
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-22/musk-s-stock-option-tweet-may-invite-u-s-labor-board-complaint
Many Silicon Valley companies give employees shares that fully vest over a four-year period, which has made equity in fast-growing companies a critical part of employees’ compensation packages. The National Labor Relations Act forbids employers from threatening employees with loss of jobs or benefits if they join or vote for a union.“This is an interesting example of an employer using social media for purposes of campaigning and sharing its views with employees before they vote to decide on representation,” Steven Swirsky, a former NLRB attorney who’s represented companies including Volkswagen AG, said in an interview. “I can foresee the union claiming that this is a threat that the company will discontinue this benefit if the workers chose to be represented.”Musk would have been on safer legal ground, Liebman said, if he had just described collective bargaining as a give-and-take proposition and warned workers that they may lose benefits in the process.

May 24 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers International Union (UAW) has filed a complaint accusing Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk of illegally threatening to take away benefits from workers who join the union.The UAW, which is seeking to represent workers at Tesla’s facility in Fremont, California, filed the complaint with the National Labor Relations Board late Wednesday.Musk in a tweet on Monday said there was nothing stopping Tesla workers from joining a union, but “why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing?”
