Elon Musk

Cybertruck Lodge Edition

I get the feeling that 'this corrosion' is just the first of many problems to come with this vehicle, but early adopters won't admit the issues

It's not the first! The wheel covers are known to fly off and they also seem to be causing unpredictable wear on the tires

I'm just going to cover my cybertruck with human skin

That feeling when your cybertruck is finally delivered.

how are we all sleeping on this story: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/16/foremost-group-ceo-angela-chao-died-after-car-went-into-texas-pond.html

on this thread bcz the car was a tesla, it backed her into the pond, and the texas ranch belongs to her BiL mitch mcconnell

what the shit

She was one of my college classmates (I did not know her)

wow, from a cursory search there doesnt seem to be any reputable reporting saying it was a telsa at this point fwiw

also "Foremost Group" ok but whats the name of the group haha

they made up that it was a tesla bcz that changed the story from wtf front page news to ho hum dog-bites-man

also in highly non-reputable sources i'm reading that she was a high-up member of the CPC

a quick twitter search is telling me the tesla was hacked

This is the link that was shared among my alumni group; also no mention of Tesla: https://www.tradewindsnews.com/people/angela-chao-dies-in-car-accident-as-foremost-group-mourns-charismatic-and-visionary-leader/2-1-1597405

fwiw this was a front page story on nytimes.com when it happened.

any conspiracy angle is presumably coming from trump fans rather than tesla haters.

yeah it is trump guys

ok lol i heard it from a muslim communist on bluesky tho (fact)

Wait what is the conspiracy? How is Trump involved? what happened, i’m confused

(tbc I don’t care all that much about the alleged Tesla connection, I just don’t get why it would be coming from a Trump-related conspiracy)

iirc trump sic'd his followers on elaine chao (and spread rumors of CCP involvement) after she resigned on jan 6 and was rumored to be one of the cabinet members involved in the inoking the 25th amendment. and he hates mcconnell.

and this seems like a messy event at the mcconnell ranch including an obvious cover up (not admitting it was a tesla)

this guy seems to be the prime pusher of the tesla theory idk if hes trumpy def seems a lil trumpish at least

‼️ Angela Chao’s death at a private Texas ranch in Blanco, County is suspicious. ‼️ Chao entered her Tesla and backed into a pond on the ranch and passed away. Chao, almost certainly a high-ranking member of the Communist Parry of China (she sat the board of state-owned pic.twitter.com/luN0NodLiZ

much to think about

Angela Chao didn't kill herself, and a car backing up into the pond was not an accident. She drove a Tesla that's easily hackable, but why Angela was she the target, or was she used as a warning to someone else?

Oh that's sad. I met her a few times in New York in the 90s when she worked at Smith Barney with my friend. She was nice and I hadn't thought of her since. I had no idea who her sister and inlaws were until Covid and then I was kind of shocked she had married Bruce Wasserstein and wondered if family pressure had let her to that.

in lieu of r/conspiracy:

I took a look at the property and it appears there is a significant fence between the garage and the pond (would take a tremendous effort to back into), but there are numerous bridges and crossings on the way in to the compound that she might have just rolled into, esp in the middle of the. night in rural Texas with little to no street illumination.

This is kind of grim because this video opens with perhaps her final resting place and seems to concentrate on all the water features of the property:

whoops, grim video link:

FWIW, "tesla accidents backing into pond" ---> About 1,540,000 results. Circumstantial hearsay from Tesla haters, fans, etc. If she was using full self-driving on the Tesla, it could have very well backed into the pond on its own.

who these claimants are says more about justice and tesla than i enjoy knowing. tho tbh i am not spending extra to know these stories

Comrade Full Self Driving

Musk released a full of shit statement claiming that the first neurolink patient is "able to control a mouse using only their thoughts," and my first thought was mouse the animal, and that this was like "Willard," and I thought, cool! Only just now did I realize they meant a computer mouse, and I thought, lame.

also certainly untrue

I'm guessing a mouse pointer onscreen, rather than the actual mouse?

feel like that's been done already, I recall hearing about stroke victims 10 years ago being able to control something with their thoughts that could allow them to communicate

that said until Elon can actually prove it I assume this is nothing but more stock price manipulation

yeah that tech has been around for 20+ years and you can do it without an implant

theres an old nova episode where alan alda steers a boat with his thoughts

tfw my cybertruck is steered by my intrusive thoughts

lol

Has Musk ever steered anyone wrong?

Does neurolink come with a self-driving mode?

I heard if you pay for the neurolink blue checkmark level you get to steer a randomly selected Tesla with your mind.

My cybertruck telepathypilotTM took me straight to small, loose, ledge upstep where we got stuck and i died of thirst.

hehe. “and i say that in everybody’s best interest. not so much me— but rivian, investors, and especially truck buyers. you don’t want to end up with an unsupported truck.”

I’m glad Matt Sweeney got his Guitar Moves video series back from Vice after they shuttered Noisey.

Yes, having "execs live in the factory" is good for production.

execs sleep in the cars

I think we can attribute many of Elon's decisions to lack of sleep.

He should introduce a Smart Bed.
