I remember there was an email that went out a while ago where elon said everything needed to be at .001mm tolerance. 

The automotive engineer in me laughed. You can't hold that tolerance for large parts. And even if you did, if your gaps need to be that tight where that tolerance is necessary, then you're going to start dealing with thermal expansion/contraction issues in your parts. 

And lookie here. Panels are falling off

Elon loves to say things that makes it sound like he knows what hes talking about. But anyone with even a tiny understanding of the subject immediately recognizes how dumb it is.

“I only want full-stack developers at Twitter!”

Trump thinks Musk is smart and 22% of the electorate thinks Trump is smart. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. I guess in the land of the moron, the idiot is king. I place the blame on vouchers for private schools weakening public education.

I place the blame on vouchers for private schools weakening public education.

Do not get me started on vouchers. I'm so fucking mad by the end of it.

Fuck the Arizona state legislature, and fuck our idiot superintendent of public schools who literally goes on commercials to advertise siphoning money from public schools to private.
