did they just have a lil homebrew set up at tesla hq or something, its not like they couldnt have gotten a professional brewery to make them a good beer and put a cyber label on it, i guess thats not a disruptive process tho

Musk is probably dumb enough to think beer improves as it gets older and has had it sitting in shelves for like 8 years

It looks like one of those things where they build something exactly as a child has drawn it, to show how silly it would look in real life.

I'm honestly surprised that Elon's piss only costs $75/bottle.

Adding insult to injury, buying one probably puts you on the list for a Cybertruck purchase.

I had to check this was real, but Elon is actually replying approvingly to a guy arguing "Hitler was right" because Jews are pushing "hatred against whites". pic.twitter.com/jkbr6bNDeG— Quantian (@quantian1) November 15, 2023

elon musk is worth over 200 billion dollars. much of this wealth was built through the US government investing in his companies. the US is a country he immigrated to. as the owner of twitter he is probably the most influential single individual in terms of shaping media narratives. (arguable). and yet, he feels he is being oppressed by "jews"
― treeship., Wednesday, 15 November 2023 22:51 (ten months ago) link

the replies on that elon tweet are horrific. actual neo nazis, many of them with celebrity names and blue checks next to their name.

Musk's control of the Starlink communication satellites is more troublesome to me than his control of Xitter. Low earth orbital space is a highly limited resource that he has squatted in and there's currently no remedy in international law to evict him.

its always amusing to me how stupid the Cybertruck looks in actual photos because I actually thought the prototype looked somewhat cool. like yeah if I saw one pull up to me I'd at least gawk at it. but when you see the actual thing its hard not to laugh it looks like an RC car that got recalled for injuring children

All teslas look terrible. I am not a car guy, but I can tell that other luxury cars look much nicer than the weirdly monolithic teslas.

I find it annoying he appropriated nikola tesla’s name. Should be called carX or some shit
he didn't, Tesla existed before he "founded" it by paying the actual founders a bunch of money for the title

and yes they dont look great in fact they all kinda look like 2005 Nissans to me. also the interiors look like shit, I mean I know I'm a hater but seriously it looks like model furniture from WG&R inside those

They’re everywhere around where I live. To be fair, BMW drivers are bigger jerks, even though their cars are far more attractive.

I admit they are fun to drive and have seriously insane pickup which you'll probably never have to use but as someone who's also ridden in them a bunch it often occurs to me that whoever designs them wasn't concerned for anyone but the driver. its not just uncomfortable it's also really aesthetically ugly when you're in the backseat
― frogbs, Thursday, 16 November 2023 04:18 (ten months ago) link
Once I slowed down to let a BMW driver merge into traffic and he *still* flipped me off. I think it was a way of expressing a general hatred of everyone, even (especially?) people who do what he wants.

Back to teslas — i anecdotally have heard of people using the “autopilot” feature to get home when shitfaced drunk. It is not at all safe to use it this way, as far as I know. Why did regulators allow it to go to market?
