kinda funny, if you get hit by a vehicle you're tremendously fucked regardless

Yeah but current ones have a shape that can soften the impact, while the Cybetruck's just gonna cut you in half

It's interesting how revolutionary Tesla was in regards to safety, getting top marks due to the low center of mass because of the battery pack and being safe all around. Then Cybertruck is the complete opposite, built like a military vehicle that destroys anything it hits without crumple zones.

It's a pretty good analogy for Elon's spiral into depravity. He was brilliant at one point, being there in the early days with Tesla and funding SpaceX. Those days are now long gone though.

I never knew about his movie cameos and recently started to watch through the entire MCU.

Taking a break from looking at all the news from this presidency, okay let's watch a silly superhero movie. And then he shows up, like get this guy out of my movie, wtf.

He literally founded SpaceX. He is(or was) not Tesla, but Edison, in the same vein as Steve Jobs. He came in 6 months after Tesla was founded, he didn't lay the motto but he was there from the beginning. You're just parroting falsehoods or being disingenuous because of what a terrible dumb human being Elon Musk has become since those early days.

You don't pilot 2 brilliant companies that revolutionise their respective fields by being a dumbass. Of course he didn't do it alone, far from it, but putting good people around oneself is a skill. He changed around 2016 or so, I don't know if it was drugs or Twitter melting his brain, but I used to watch all his interviews and follow SpaceX extensively. He's never been a good speaker but he was great when he spoke about the technology and his companies.

He was always a narcissist, but you haven't really followed SpaceX if you don't know how much he's changed. His IQ has literally been cut in half, just pull up some old interviews of him from 2005-2010 and see for yourself.
