Tesla is facing issues with the bare metal construction of the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk warned was as tricky to do as making Lego bricks

Two things, not necessarily related.
The cybertronk looks highly regarded when put together correctly. Imagine if it has the panel gaps of other cars TSLA makes.
My tinfoil hat theory on why Elon is acting all right wing all of the sudden is to get those idiots to buy electric bare metal Pontiac Aztecs with "unbreakable" windows instead of F-150's
My theory is he's a wealthy dude, so he's going to have right wing tendencies since the right wing benefits wealthy dudes.
Also, one of his kids came out as trans, he went nuts, blamed social media for making his kid a "degenerate". Then bought twitter to destroy it out of revenge.
He's kinda like a James Bond villain, but so much dumber.
can he recoup $44 billion tho....? it's a bold move.meme
wouldn't it be nice to have some kind of logical explanation for his demented thrashings?
I don't think he actually cares about the money he blew on Twitter. Money is a construct and that is even more true for rich people. If he cared about the money, he wouldn't have tossed Twitter down the shitter.
I think he cares more about the impression he is making, whether it be good or bad. People are talking about Elon and that's all that matters.
He was ordered by the court to proceed with the Twitter deal, that he vocally tried to back out of.
That doesn't mean he cares about the money.
While I don't know the cost to develop the cyber truck assuming it was 0 dollars to make the cost of the Twitter deal from cyber truck alone, it would take 88 thousand of them at elon getting 100% of the money from the sales. ( how he expects to sell an electric truck for 50k is beyond me)
100% everyone is making fun of teslas already, so imagine how the people feel who pre-ordered some garbage years ago. Now with their "leaked" email they can tell people how their future car will have toleraces that are on an qtomic level. These are also the prople who believed that teslas can fly in 3 years. Which was in 2016 i believe
Did you mean highly ret**ar...? Is this a mistake or are you avoiding the r-word?
Regarded is a common meme substitute for retarded, indeed.
Umm, you said a naughty word!
This seriously got me 😂. Thank you!
I had exactly the same theory for 2. He seems to genuinely want to save humanity (reusable rockets, electric vehicles etc) and so converting right wingers to electric would fit the goal
You people still exist?
"Had" is past tense. "Theory" is "a supposition or system of ideas indended to explain something". I didn't say that I thought that was the most likely theory. I thought lemmy was supposed to be able to hold a nuanced conversation?
“Elon desperately wants the world to be saved. But only if he can be the one to save it.”
This is what I was alluding to, however people seem to have jumped on the "oh he is an Elon fan, quick, tell him he is an idiot!" Rather than accepting nuance
Here is a video showing why tech billionaires are idiots. They only care about $$$, not the world.

You can't be serious

Lol no one that replied to you is replying to your first sentence dude. Elon doesn't want to save the world.

Electric vehicles aren't meant to save humanity. They are meant to save the car. If we removed all gas vehicles off the road right that wouldn't even stop 30 percent of emissions. The only way to save humanity at this point is to stop capitalism. As long as we continue to expect the market to find a solution to a problem that has no profit motivator we will never save humanity. Elon included.
Ahem, if we removed all gas vehicles from the road right now, including farm vehicles, humanity would starve to death within a few months. Some subsistence farmers in developing countries that don't need fertilizer would survive.
But it would definitely be the end of industrial society.
Emissions from transportation are a large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions, so it absolutely does make sense to decarbonize them. This isn't really debatable. It's been part of the ICC strategy and negotiations for decades now.
Lmao
