For someone who’s supposed to be a genius he’s pretty dumb

Tesla raising FSD price as feds warn owners not to test system on their children
Can't make these headlines up

The whole point of this country is that if you want to buy an overpriced, over-engineered electric deathtrap and run your children over with it, you can! You are free to do so!
To me, that's beautiful.
To me, that's beautiful.
But why are people a) paying for that feature out of their own pocket when they should get paid to test it for risking their lives, and b) why even use the feature? Like what problem is it solving when it clearly doesn't do what it's supposed to do 100%, where even a .0001% fault in the system can be fatal.
By Laboured Go To PostI'd buy that for a dollar.Number of kids run over: 0

By diehard Go To PostAre you talking about full autonomous driving or Tesla's "Autopilot" in specific?I dont know all of the nuances and how dealers brand their "self driving cars" but in this instance I was referring to Tesla and their FSD feature, or it can be the autopilot tbh.
It just seems wild to me people are putting their own lives at risk to beta test this shit, and they're paying to be the guinea pigs.
Twitter’s lawyers argued David Sacks’ main reason for trying to fight a subpoena filed in their case against Elon Musk is because he said he would on a podcast, and in a ruling issued Friday, the judge agreed.
This closes a side story to the main event of Twitter suing Elon Musk over his attempt to get out of their $44 billion acquisition agreement after the company’s lawyers subpoenaed Sacks as “a potential investor in the merger Musk seeks to escape.” Sacks is a venture capitalist and, along with Musk, is a member of the so-called “PayPal Mafia” comprised of the company’s former power players.
As Elizabeth Lopatto explained earlier this week, Sacks reacted to the subpoena during an episode of his All-In podcast, saying, “I have no involvement in this thing, but they sent me the broadest ever subpoena. It’s like, 30 pages of requests. And now I gotta hire a lawyer to go quash this thing.”
What happened next was described by Twitter’s lawyers in their motion to oppose the request: “That evening, he Tweeted a virtual middle-finger at “Twitter’s lawyers,” then a video of a man urinating on a subpoena while yelling expletives to a cheering crowd.”
Judge McCormick decided Twitter had “valid concerns” based on Sacks’ own actions and refused his request. “In other circumstances, I might view entirely duplicative subpoenas served for such tactical purposes as problematic. Where, as here, the subpoena recipient Tweets the subpoenaing attorneys the middle finger and a video of someone urinating on subpoenas, I am less bothered by it,” writes McCormick.https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/2/23334338/elon-musk-twitter-david-sacks-subpoena-all-in-podcast
This is who runs Silicon Valley and it's a bunch of dudes that got lucky in early 00s and are now grifting their way through shit.

Surely if you're going the limit, or barely above, then a yellow light leaves ample time to decelerate safely? Hell, I was taught that you should pull off the accelerator if the light has been green for a while as you're approaching.
The other half of this is that there's roads with 55mph speed limit and stoplights. How does that make any rational sense?

e:
Uhm the chances of VINs colliding should be infinitely small it doesn't make sense that a typo will cause that
"Hard braking" can hit your safety score lol. Better just ram pedestrians and cyclists.
Also how are these cars allowed on the road lmao. Everyone's better off with people just driving, not trying to overcorrect Teslas dumbass AI.

Because good marketing is more important than safety.
There's MUCH safer assisted driving systems from other manufacturers but you'd think the way things are talked about is that Tesla is the only one that even offers it. It's not even remotely true and they're not even best in class.

I even left out I find it hilarious people are paying 15k or whatever the fuck it is to test for them. Christ.
Really can't shake the feeling that billionaires are just very over-confident idiots that got lucky.
He's looking to do all of this while Tesla is getting buried by another 9% drop today? Astounding. No rhyme or reason to that man's logic.
I mean, it is amusing that he is being forced to actually spend $44b he doesn't really have to buy a social media platform that seems to have plateaued in terms of active users and actively loses money.
But, wow, is it going to be terrible that he owns Twitter and will do things like unban Trump and let harassment and insurrection campaigns run wild.

I actually think it would be better if the deal falls through and he doesn't end up owning the platform. His ideas are going to be stupid as hell and drive it further into the ground.
But everyone is out chasing TikTok growth so that's where success is measured, fuck if it matters whether customers are actually happy or not.

By Daz Go To PostHe's gonna have to flip it.I think so, too, and he'll end up taking a real bath. I honestly don't know if he lasts a year considering they've never been able to properly monetize their users and he doesn't seem to have a real clue here. The longer he holds on, the more red ink he'll have to deal with and it's not like he personally has liquid to keep it running.
Twitter dont make no money.
He doesn't need to come up with anything fancy longterm. Short term pump through controversy might just do.
