Just a worthwhile reminder for #TeslaTakedown folks: #Tesla was never a real car company under #Musk. It was always an unprofitable grift propped up by massive government subsidies. The bubble was always going to pop at some point. It's always been vulnerable. There will never be robot taxis, or robots, or any of the other bullshit he's always promised to pump up the hype. That was always a lie.
The work you're doing is great and important, and you will win. Elon will find more ways to dump money into Tesla to prop up the stock, but, in the end, it will collapse. Tesla should have died a long time ago. You are attacking the only thing Tesla has: image. Keep going, you will win.
@Hex but optimus will be the biggest product ever made in any category ever in the history of the world by a factor of 10x!
@cryptadamist @Hex optimus will finally finish the boring company projects!!
@Hex probably would save way more taxpayer money if Tesla wasn't being subsidized than laying off any number of civil servants
@waitworry ∆∆ this right here
Add to that all his other vanity projects sucking public money.
@Hex: Even the cars they did make have always been shitty manifestations of terrible Silicon Valley thinking.
@Hex remember Musk killed hyperloop and other public transport initiatives in California to sell cars
@adritheonly @dgodon @usul lol, yeah...
Tech bros keep reinventing trains, but making them shitty. Pointing that fact out is like half of Adam Something's content.
It's because they're afraid to be in stabbing distance of the poors, and they think everyone is like them. Same reason billionaires have private airplanes.
@Hex a large amount of income was selling carbon licences to other car companies
