> Instead I've followed him and directly what he says for about the last 8 years.
and you are comparing that to the first hadn experience of some of his closest associates. The dude pays 3 different PR companies full time salaries, you haven't followed him, you have followed his propaganda.
> him doing mostly the same things he did before
When he said that he was proud Tesla got 100% on the lgbtq score 4 years in a row, and that homophobes should nt buy his cars in 2017 has that not changed?
> And every common argument against him is so easily shot down
if "you sound like chatgpt" is your idea of shooting somethign down, then yeah everything is easily shot down.
> Tesla benefits from selling some carbon credits yes.
thats not what I said though. I said the company was saved from bankruptcy due to goverment contracts. For Tesla the credits where only part of the equation. First of all they got a 480 million loan, on almost no interest in 2010. The EV credits of around 7,500 per car totalled a goverment investment of over 3 billion of free money. Despite this Elon said the company was around 1 month away from bankruptcy in 2017 when making the Model 3.
He took 480 million almost for free, and 3.4 billion for free and still was weeks away from insolvency. That company is literally unviable without goverment funding.
> Tesla operates in a system that anyone would call very capitalistic
Goverment funded sports car for tech bros is not a system anyone would call capitalistic. Luxury goods (Veblen) are notoriously unaffected by market laws, thus terrible vehicles, no pun intended, for capitalism to thrive in.
> You saying Neuralink is a failure is not just a failure in your humanity but proves your abject ignorance, given it has basically saved a person, giving him his agency back.
You really need to stop believing everything you read dude. Nolan Arbaugh lost 85% of the neural link connections less than a month after the surgery. He cannot do 90% of the things they showed off in his presentation. Neural link said they could try and help him with software updates, without a timeline.
BCI's are notoriously hard to do, many companies make better products that neural link, without killing thousands of monkeys and using human suffering for presentations to impress dimwits online.
> Boring company is being succesfully boring in all aspects.
Over half its projects have been cancelled. the ones remaining do not give enough funding to pay the employees they have. And multiple sources have corroborated the company only existed to push California to cancel the high speed train project so the dependency on cars and tesla remained. The company was a ruse to enable car dependency over better alternatives. And it will be cleared for parts by some investment fund in the next 5 years.
> X is the successor who manages to be better with 20% the employees.
X has more bots than before, worse reliability, it has no content moderation so gore, pdf, porn, and scams are all up, and it has a way diminished userbase and advertiser base on a platform that was barely breaking even. "better" is certianly a word, but not one that describes twitter nowadays
> Use it everyday while Twitter was a censorious hellhole. On X you can say what you want without being systematically censored
the word cis is banned lmao. You cant even talk about organic chemistry nowadays. But at least you can say the n word while you attempt to do a rug pull on a bunch of porn bots.
Also you know when the platform hid likes? It was the day Elon got caught liking degrading porn about having a small penis. That is a weird day to hide public likes which had been a feature since forever.
> Not making enough kids makes humanity die
Most of the planet is well above replacement rate. Humanity will peak at around 10-12 billion people, we are at 8. We are nowhere near an extinction event level problem.
> ~2010 after which the western society started getting very self destructive while authoritarian governments rise in power
the dude took 20 billion from the Saudi monarchy to buy twitter, he cosied up to Trump a dude who openly denounces democracy, and has praised absolute shitbags like Erdogan who think his illiterate cousin could make a good economic minister (they had the highest inflation on the planet the next year).
The dude is the poster child for venerating authoritarian goverments, he would never speak badly of china because he has a massive factory there. Despite the govermetn openly hating him and giving way more money to local chinese car manufactures. They spit on his face and he says "thank you Xi"
> you've contributed absolutely nothing but hate, misinformation
"misinformation" is quoting his close associates, the economic reports of his own companies and his public statements? Damn, his words are lies?
> For people that actually care (unlike arkhaine here): https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2024/01/02/elon-musk-is-n...
You took 13 days, came here with a weirdo blog of no relevance but let me just highlight what i think is the cherry on top of this shit sundae.
"Here John repeats a popular talking point (“Elon hates Jews”), but the “great replacement theory” is a ludicrous far-right conspiracy actively promulgated by Trump and his surrogates, and while Elon’s reply managed to get him in the middle of a simmering controversy between certain factions of the American Jewish community and other progressives, it didn’t read to me as antisemitic. "
Elon Musk funder of a dude who promotes antisemetic tropes, who has said things that makes those people think he is one of them well I random indian guy who writes blogs "didnt read it as antisemetic". Also lets ignore the seig heil twice on stage for some reason.
This is the level of unfounded self assurance that describes elon musk fanbois. "I know better than the entire jewish community because I dont think he is racist". Doesnt matter that they have dealt with this for 2 millenia, or that they are keenly aware of dog whistles, or that he has done overtly hate symbols in public, because I KNOW BETTER. You know better than Elon Musk friends because you read a fluff piece 6 years ago.
Dunning Kruger wants your address, they need to make a part 2 of their syndrome and name it after you.
