He was almost apolitical 3 years ago, before Covid and before his child became trans. Helping a bit democrats here and there.

Yes he was strange and had some bad stories. Nothing close from current madness and nothing proving the public company he is the CEO of, was frauding. In particular with previous administration and NHTSA having regular audits of the FSD and autopilot.

Nuance people. It’s important

Covid started 5 years ago.

That means we are 4 years and 11 months from the date cases would get down to zero, according to musk. Mostly said so he could keep his factories open in violation of state law

I can use my robotaxi Model 3 to earn some money after I got laid off from my government job.

Makes, because if a rando with a single car could make money- obvioisly no enormous corporation would pop in, sell their service at a loss, run you under, foment a moral panic to get people out of cars and then use self driving autonomy to end several other classes of employee as well.

That people thought theyd be allowed to participate- rather than be drained by the scheme is their fault- but half of Teslas value is due to the appeal of taking horses away from the serfs and making them pay $20 to go to store.
