A penis almost as big as his President's.

A horse, that he wanted to offload anyway as he had a surplus of them from the ranches he purchased to cosplay as a rancher

Stock goes down, elon makes promise he can’t keep to try and make it go up. Rinse and repeat.

He's always promising shit that never happens. He's just a stupidly wealthy pub bore.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

He's not wealthy. He has credit and morons willing to give it to him.

Piss off, In 2016 Elon Musk promised full self driving would be ready by the end of 2017.

I believed him too back then, usually if a CEO makes such a statement it's pretty solid. Because they are responsible to for instance stock holders.
How he can make all these false claims and promises, and still be rewarded by stock holder with a $55billion bonus, is a mystery to me, as I see it, he is liable towards both stock holders, and customers who bought stock or a Tesla under false pretenses.

Humanoid robots exist. They just haven't yet found an application where the existing implementations are more-desirable than alternatives.

No no, they meant first of many unfulfilled promises.

An Elon Musk promise is about as valuable as a pocketfull of lint.

i’m about to just filter out the word ‘Elon’ on voyager now. nobody fucking cares about this shithead

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So they renewed their promise from… how many years ago with nothing to show for it?

I'm sure it won't have any of the defects of the cyberdumpster.

If he's going for the Cybertruck look, they will probably come out like this:

Unlike Imperial Storm Troopers, they sometimes hit their target.

Judging by Musk's previous styling choices, may I offer this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Just make cars that work and stick to it.
