Elon Musk

yeah best to play it safe and get an extender for your penis extension

Omfg from many posts ago i was now about snidely to type “welp that bed section is ‘ideal’ to carry more battery power,” but it is fucking what they actually are SELLING. i’m— i got nothing

as long as the mall is only 125 mi away it’s gtg already

I honestly thought the more ubiquitous they became the better people would get at identifying and avoiding scams but then I forgot that I'm an idiot

Not sure I'm gonna be able to resist constantly honking/flipping the bird at these things when I finally start seeing them on the road.

I don't think I'll be seeing them at all honestly I genuinely don't think there's a market for them

Yeah, I'm in the bay area...

our condolences

just remember, if you see one, do not acknowledge the driver in any way or look directly at the cybertruck unless necessary

At least not without those ridiculous solar eclipse glasses.

They make the cybertrucks out of slow glass. You can stare at them and watch the past.

"we are all andrew now"

feeling this so deep

Where we’re going, we don’t need … roads.

The ceremony started with Musk driving the truck on a stage in darkness and hopping into the bed to talk about it.

"It's the most unique thing on the road," he said. "Finally the future will look like the future."

John DeLorean would like a word

Finally the future will look like shit.

flux capacitor in the cyberturck checkmate bitch u got memed

John DeLorean would like a word

As would the people behind the Pontiac Aztek

when i consider the predictive accuracy of the aztek it freaks me out

every commute in that thing will end like, "dude you've blown the transaxle, you're just grinding metal...ease down."

Owners of Azteks were said to be highly satisfied.. I think there was even a camping tent that attached to the cargo area

when i consider the predictive accuracy of the aztek it freaks me out

Back in 2000 Fox had this dystopian Sci-Fi series with Jessica Alba & Michael Weatherly called Dark Angel (set in...2019), and instead of having a custom future car for Weatherly to drive, they had the genius idea to use new Azteks.

xps I used to work with a guy who used a wheelchair for whom the Aztec functioned well for getting himself and his chair in and out.

they look so normal by today's standards... headline of the accompanying article: The Pontiac Aztek: Who’s Laughing Now?

Universally panned and quickly discontinued, it’s clear that, almost 20 years on, the Aztek has made fools of us all.

lol yeah it does look normal, just another crossover

xps James Cameron’s Dark Angel, now on Fox

I don’t remember a whole lot other than Jessica Alba was in it, but I think a later season featured an animal-human hybrid cat person. Very prescient show

Discussion of the Aztek immediately makes me think of Breaking Bad. The choice of Walt's car was obvs given great thought.

for me it's the second season of Survivor, when Colby won this car and had to demonstrate all of its great camping features with his visiting Mom in the Australian Outback.

lol

Tesla’s labour dispute in Scandinavia has escalated after a union in Denmark said it would no longer transport vehicles to Sweden, where the US electric-car maker is locked in a battle over workers’ rights.

Denmark’s largest union 3F announced the move on Tuesday, saying its dockworkers and drivers would no longer help move vehicles bound for Sweden.

Swedish union IF Metall is in an increasingly bitter struggle with Tesla over the carmaker’s refusal to sign a collective agreement in which labour conditions are set by employers and unions.

“IF Metall and the Swedish workers are currently fighting an incredibly important battle. When they ask for our support, we take part, of course,” said Jan Villadsen, head of 3F Transport.

Swedish cleaners, dockworkers and postal workers have already tried to support the striking Tesla mechanics. Norwegian dockworkers have also said they would refuse to unload Teslas destined for Sweden.

The dispute involves only about 130 mechanics at Tesla’s workshops in Sweden, many of whom are still working as normal.

A long but interesting newsletter article about all the ways Musk is currently burning money with Twitter:

https://wheresyoured.at/p/elons-gordian-knot

i like that guy on bsky/twitter, but tbh i find his long form writing unreadable

still kinda weird to me that as a weird twitter OG he went on to become some sort of internet investigative reporter? and presumably has a profitable substack?

lol I don't know him outside of seeing his name on Twitter, I assumed he was a The Nation columnist I'd never heard of based on the people who quoted/retweeted him.

he owns a small marketing agency iirc

he certainly doesn’t have an editor

i think he does have an editor lol

idk why those facts about the poster in question are available to me but your welcome

Duh, you’re the editor.

oh siht

“…you’ve *always* been the editor.”

I . . . corrected them.

new Musk offspring just dropped

Pretty sure that's his twitter password.

have we heard anything about his kids through all of this? some of them are teenagers now, they gotta be feeling nothing but embarrassment
