This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I don't have anything to say that the title doesn't already. Consider my gast to be flabbered, my gob to be smacked. I hate this timeline.

Well the good news is Musk said it, so you can be confident it's a half truth at best.

Realistically, this is a half witted attempt at marketing

[–] future_synthetic@awful.systems 1 points 2 years ago

Realistically this is a hyperbolic liar completely disconnected from reality spewing said hyperbolic lies into the public sphere, unfortunately to a somehow still receptive audience.

hey I didn’t expect this to have to be a warning, but to the folks in the cheap seats: telling a TechTakes poster to not have takes on tech is both annoying as fuck and a fast way to catch a ban

That’s why we are tracking the effort really closely and see if there’s any chance Tesla can make Musk’s prediction true with just a few months left in the year.

that ark from SG: Ark Of Truth? I don't think I'd hesitate using it. I realize they all got swindled, but it still blows my mind that there are people out there even halfway believing this shit (in every form of the lie)

"elon says"

Let me stop you right there, hoss. You can't believe a single thing from that chodelet. He's just trying to stay ~~in the news.~~ relevant

why would you try and stop anyone from dunking on musk?

[–] bloopernova@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I'm not, I didn't realize it sounded like I was defending the chodelet. I've edited the comment.

Most realistic Musk sales pitch.

"Teslas have a mind as good as my own!"

Elektrek is a notorious pro-Tesla website.

[–] exohuman@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Jeez, the lies come strong and easy to tell with this one.

So the cars are running people over and drifting between lanes on purpose? I suppose if I woke up and realised I was a Tesla car, I'd develop homicidal impulses too.

What, have they learnt how to knock down children intentionally, instead of just because of gross negligence?
