Elon Musk

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

Musk drinks beer like he smokes weed.

time to innovate by making a nasty beer, no one ever did thst before

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.

showing feet on X for elon musk's pee-beer? couldn't be me

Wow, didn't realize that CyberBeer is real: https://cyberbeer.tesla.com/

Every time I open this thread and it stays at the top, there's a brief, wistful moment where I imagine the days back when I was able to echo this post:

Who he?

Boy I dunno

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

wtf

i think he should removed

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"

remarkable

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

That's it, I'm canceling my cybertruck order.

*pours rusty beer in the trash*

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

It reminds me of the shop sink we had in high school.

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

Ah didn’t know that.

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

theyre so bad, absolute sucker shit

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

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?

these things are effectively unregulated afaict

Absolutely bananas

I've often wondered if stuff like lane deviation warnings and radar cruise have made it harder to identify drunk drivers

yeah prob

All cars should come with the BAC blower interlocks and if you blow over the limit it should kill you

Where’s that innovation Elon?!?

these are the bold ideas we need in these troubled times

he'd probably just make it play Rick Astley while you were driving. I wanted to say Yakety Sax but that's actually kinda funny and not quite as beaten into the ground so it's not really Elon's style

Other electric cars also have insane acceleration, and aren't cunts.

My family and I were upgraded to a BMW on a recent vacation and my god, I loved driving that car. I had never driven one before. It was incredible.

Of course, I will never be able to afford one, but….

Yeah, you can absolutely tell that BMW is putting the driving experience at the forefront of their decision process

Exactly. BMW interiors feel so cheap compared to their competitors.

I’d say more simple than cheap? Austere but durable is a choice and BMWs feel like that to me. Teslas come off as more austere but cheap imo, I have no idea if the seats are more likely to rip or the plastic shows more scuffs or whatever but they feel like you’re in a early 00s Saturn

I hate having all kinds of controls on a screen but it’s funny how other luxury brands do all kinds of weird angles, trim inlays, and wonky control systems (looking at you, weird Lexus moving touchpad thing that’s getting phased out) to seem more expensive

All cars should come with the BAC blower interlocks and if you blow over the limit it should kill you

isn't that where someone was trying to sell some anti-carjacking system that had flamethrowers?

every other car in the bay area is a tesla and I honesty don't have any issue with the drivers of those vehicles (also I drive a bmw and do not drive like a jerk). the worst drivers around here are in fucked up old kias, because they are 12 years old and they just carjacked it and are going 100mph in a 25mph zone.

I've ridden in teslas plenty and they are fun but I would absolutely never buy one because a) musk b) reputation for their quality is awful.

kia boys still out there? damn

honestly driving in the bay area is kind of a pain in the ass because I'm convinced 75% of the people driving are high and just don't pay attention anymore (some guy drove into me at 2mph a few months ago, was stoned out of his mind, and then drove off while we were exchanging info)

Kias definitely are a thing again but it's hard to recognize them because the logo looks like "KN"

lol one of the wildest branding choices
