Elon, a grown ass child man dropping the hard R word. wtf
Zero respect for this man child. And dropping the R word is probably the least offensive thing he had done. I lost respect for him a long time ago. I wouldn’t look his way if he wanted to stop and chat. What a wanker.
hard R word
Just a gentle reminder that the phrase “hard R” refers to an entirely different insult. Though, I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon used that word, too.
Also,
Teslas are great cars
The heck?!
Good engineers designed and worked on them. Elon might be a tool but that doesn’t mean everything in Tesla is bad.
Dude, the only thing Musk engineered in his life were Tesla stocks.
Elon is right, he called Teslas great cars.
To be fair, Elon was right: to have ever believed that Elon was respectable or an engineer was indeed “fully r-------”.
So you thought he was a good engineer up until this one thing? Okay at least something. But people here, why is this person suddenly relevant that we need to share this tweet, posted on the Nazis fucking own platform?
Let’s be very clear about one thing: Musk is not an engineer. He employs engineers, but he is not an engineer himself. He has given himself the title of Chief Engineer at SpaceX, but that’s no different than me giving myself the title of Chief Surgeon. It’s meaningless. The actual engineers at Tesla and SpaceX are very capable, though perhaps misguided, as one would have to be to work to further the interests of a megalomaniacal mega-dork like Musk. Unfortunately, many of these actual engineers must also have a kind of cult-like, sycophantic devotion to Musk, which is why none of them have the guts to tell him that AI data centers in space is a stupid fucking idea.
you can bet the few that have the guts are quickly fired, so, the proportion remains
Rocket science is really cool. Rocket scientists are huge geeks about rocket science. If there are really only a handful of organizations hiring rocket scientists (and most of them are run by megalomaniacs or deeply entwined with the MIC), you’re faced with the prospect of working for a bad company, or not working on your passion that you specialized in.
I remember some AMAs from The Site That Shall Not Be Named by SpaceX employees, and a common comment was that they do their best to keep him distracted so they can do their actual work because his ideas are stupid.
You don’t really need a cult following, either. Most engineers just want to get paid well for their hard work and experience. Does Musk pay well? I don’t know. But it’s hard for me to believe so many smart people work for him just because of a cult following.
No, he does not pay well. His companies base bay is generally about 10-20% under market, and they are all 5 days in office.
The only reason you work there are for stock grants, you love his politics, or because your a true believer in the mission.
Mega-dork is way too weak. He is a full blown Nazi and wants nothing but more power, money, influence etc.
One would think an academic would realize that the hype man doesn’t actually do any engineering.
It’s an idea that would work much better after a few more years when the chips are mature and not changing as much and you have a moon base producing aluminum metal and then you can use the waste rock as radiators with a little bit of moonwater cooling. Doing it now is the worst time.
If you haven’t already, you should read Artemis.
Elon never was an engineer. He hired amazing engineers who managed to make amazing things despite his constant incompetent meddling.
Not even that. Brilliant people made brilliant things, word reached his vulture ear, and he bought their company.
People, stop giving your money to schmucks. Don’t let them buy your company, take control, and fuck shit up. Aim for sustainability, not impossible growth.
188k people like Elon’s ableist deflection.
What the goddamned fuck.
Bots, not people
And how many of those are from bots, and how many are from Elon’s PR team?
It’s x dot com. 😔
At least 80% of them are bots.
Plenty of people here on lemmy downvote me when I politely ask folks to consider not using that epithet. While it seems the usage of it has gone way down, there are still plenty who feel it is their god-given right to use it. I’ve been given all sorts of reasons people think it’s okay to use.
Tbf elon was probably just talking to a mirror
tbf his tweets make more sense 99% of the time if you think of it not as messages directed at others, but his inner voice made digital manifest.
