@APKramar@BaronDestructo Isn't it ridiculous that these word games are played?
We all know what 'broad appeal' is code for, but have to pretend otherwise
@RnaudBertrand Fifty eight thousand (!) American troops died in Vietnam, and this guy goes on a public platform with 360K followers and says the US 'abandoned' South Vietnam
Truly astonishing
@compliantvc I honestly don't get it - if you think things are this bad, why not try and use the power and influence you've accumulated over decades to try and change things here in Europe?
Or is making *even more* money in the US & posting dank memes on X more important?
@BradMunchen On another note - can't believe what they did to Grant (just saw your other post)
The man was fearless (and with seemingly infinite patience)
@BradMunchen Oh, 100% agreed it won't work for long with non-cult/journos
So are you saying he boxed himself in with this 'by year-end' pronouncement?
Or are you saying that he'll just push it off again for another "year"
@BradMunchen ... those routes only, and claim victory
His army of shills will then echo him, and how Musk "destroyed" Waymo on some such nonsense
I'm 99.5% certain this is what will happen
@BradMunchen@BradMunchen Musk will do what he *always* does - he'll fake it
Basically, Tesla will identify specific routes (Musk will probably call them 'Gigaroutes' or 'Megaroads'), where there are very little to no interactions or variability
He'll then remove the safety drivers in...
@grantbelden Yah, but in recent years, I've come to think of him as an honest absolute π€‘, if that's even a thing
Especially when I compare him to his other 'pod-buddies' - Chamath and Sacks, who are really just bad actors, imo - wolves in π€‘ clothing
