Weird bit of synchronicity, just walked past the tv that was showing a Tesla allegedly driving itself and having a big smash on a Sydney rooftop carpark.
No moral judgement attaches, just saying it was odd.

Fake news…
6 EVs caught fire in Australia between 2010 and September 2023 . In comparison, there were 2,803 internal combustion vehicle fires in NSW alone in the 2022–23 financial year according to Fire and Rescue NSW incident data.

How about you FRO.
You can have brilliant ideas and be a ■■■■ of a person.
And Tesla cars are rubbish.
The best part of all this, is m_j could’ve easily just posted in the space thread and left out the vitriol and got a good discussion about it.
but we know that wasn’t the objective

I was at an EV talk a few weeks back. The head of Energy Safe Victoria said something like they didn’t have a Tesla catching fire from charging on record.
Maybe there’s been something from a car accident, but it doesn’t seem to be a risk from actual data in the real world.

The finer points of executive compensation law I confess escape me, but the less that fkwit get paid the lower the chances he buys Hasbro and stuffs up D&D, so I’m enthusiastically cheering on this decision…

Trying to rationalise with jealous sooks is pointless. Elon has taken ■■■■■ with more brain cells than most of these twits.
Who the **** would want to be Elon?
I do not want to be racist and a flag bearer for racist speech
I do not want a “god” complex that he’s assumed.
I basically don’t want to be complete fcuktard that he’s become.
He’s not actually even that smart. He’s been a good businessman until relatively recently - I’ll grant you that.
Pretty weird saying people are jealous of Musk!

Yeah, it’s interesting to think that even though someone is doing so much to advance civilisation, people will turn on them with such fury based on who he endorsed.
Can only imagine the Elon nut hugging in here if he’d supported Kamala and reinstated Twitter censorship.
But I honestly think people just enjoy the outrage and thinking they’re morally superior.

This is quite funny in the context of Musk trying to take the USA back 50 years.

How?
Say we say giving racists are free reign under the basis of “free speech”
His war on “woke” ie inclusiveness?
To say he’s advancing civilization on the basis he bought Tesla and SpaceX is pure nonsense.
The engineers and people that built those companies did that, he just jumped on the opportunity.
He’s just here to make a buck.
