Not to go too far into the weeds of second guessing him, but I don't think that's courting a new market -- it seems to be the mask coming off.

Selling a product into the most profitable market in the automotive industry is 'the mask coming off'? What are you even talking about?

The market for electric cars was primarily amongst "the liberals". You know, treehuggers, whale lovers, etc?

That was a key selling point for the vehicles -- save the planet!

I'm well aware of the market segmentation and where the big ticket items are, thank you very much. Yes, he'll likely get more cybertruck buyers due to fandom but there's a lot of non-truck buyers that are going to rethink giving money to him.

Dojo could be a gamechanger for AI if they can create the right compiler tooling. Optimus also has potential but needs a personality like Musk's to bring it to fruition. Without him both of the projects will likely be abandoned.

I'm not familiar with Dojo and Optimus, are these some upcoming Tesla car lines like the Cybertruck?

Nope

No kidding. Musk isn’t a fun person to work for. So instead of flaming one tiny fun thing you could celebrate it or at least ignore it. Making Tesla more uptight isn’t going to improve working conditions.

> So instead of flaming one tiny fun thing The point is it's not "fun", it's Musk powertripping on his employees while he creates terrible working conditions.

I don't see how a silly secondary title is "power tripping" or how it makes the working conditions worse.

Serious question - not trying to be cute or funny - is Xitter pronounced like "sitter", "ksitter", or "shitter"?

Since you say it's a serious question, even though it's pretty unrelated to this thread, I'll give a serious answer. First, 'xitter' isn't an official term related to x/twitter, so there's no official pronunciation. 'Xi' also doesn't occur in english much at all, so there's not much to draw on. My dictionary just has "Xiphoid", where the 'X' is pronounced as a 'Z'. To my american-english mind, the obvious sound is "Z…

I love hacker news. I did really appreciate getting a serious answer.

You've not established that has anything to do with titles. Nor have you established killing lidar was a bad idea, or puts people's lives in danger. Remember that hype isn't the same as substance.

I didn't say anything about titles. I said taking business less serious is how you make frivolous decisions like ripping out lidar. I'm hardly the only person who finds his moves suspect: https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-sec-probes-elon-musks-...

Even in this reduced claim, you haven't established this was a frivolous decision or due to 'taking business less serious'.

Yeah but nobody cares about HP and their silly printers. Also, Elon doesn't have anything to do with HP

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is not HP and does not make printers. Perhaps nobody cares about HPE either, but at least get your facts right.

It's a joke. Have some fun

Not the OP but we could mention that time where he called a hero a pedophile or when he bought twitter to promote free speech and then banned anyone who said negative things about him. No one human should have 260 billion dollars and be thought of as a good person unless they do a ton of philanthropy.

None of this is objective

Objectively it is bad to defame and distract from a public servant rescuing kids from a cave.

(Objectively.)
