@PatBradyvi @sharrond62 @RoryHanrahan5 I highly recommend you read “ the man in the arena”.

@undefinedKi More hype in a totally overhyped industry already.

@MikeNellis Strawman Fallacy:

A strawman is a dishonest debate tactic where someone distorts or exaggerates their opponent’s actual position to make it easier to attack.

Instead of addressing the real argument, they knock down a fake “straw” version of it.

@EricJorgenson @elonmusk Started to read it in Australia: riveting. Thank you for your hard work. Building a better future together.

I think the people who try to minimise the murdering of babies are the evil ones.

After WW2 ended, the Allied troops forced the Germans to walk through the concentration camps to show them the evils which were committed in their country.

If you can watch a video on abortion and don’t feel sick to your stomach after seeing the evil being committed, you’ve managed to kill your conscience.

@PeacemanODG @elonmusk I need it. Looking at a concrete road it’s a waste of time in my eyes. I rather learn something while travelling.

Amazing progress, thank you team Tesla.

To all the people complaining:

This kind of it’ll put people out of jobs panic is as old as progress itself — and it’s been wrong every single time. The Luddites smashed textile machines in the 1800s, terrified they’d lose weaving jobs. Today we have way more clothing, cheaper than ever, and millions of new jobs in entirely different industries. Horses were the main transportation workers until cars came along. Millions of horse-related jobs vanished — stable hands, carriage makers, farriers. Nobody’s crying over that now; we got cars, trucks, roads, and whole new industries. ATMs were supposed to kill bank teller jobs. Instead, the number of tellers doubled after ATMs spread because banks opened more branches and tellers moved to higher-value work like customer service. Every time a technology destroys old jobs, it creates new ones we couldn’t even imagine before — from lamplighters to switchboard operators, the pattern’s the same. Progress doesn’t eliminate work; it upgrades what humans do. Fearing this latest wave while ignoring that history? That’s the real outdated thinking.

Here are ten example to get you started:

1Daily Commutes – Affordable, driverless rides to work/school, cutting costs and stress while you work or relax en route.
2Late-Night Safety – Safe transport home from events, bars, or shifts without relying on strangers or impaired driving.
3Elderly & Disabled Mobility – On-demand door-to-door rides for seniors or those with limited mobility, reducing isolation.
4Airport Transfers – Seamless luggage-friendly trips to/from airports, avoiding parking fees and traffic hassles.
5Family Errands – Parents send kids to sports, lessons, or friends safely without chauffeuring.
6Medical Appointments – Reliable transport for hospital visits, dialysis, or check-ups, especially for non-drivers.
7Tourism & Exploration – Tourists explore cities cheaply and flexibly without renting cars or navigating public transit.
8Rural/Underserved Areas – Brings affordable transport to places with poor public options, boosting access to jobs and services.
9Event & Concert Travel – Easy arrival/departure for big events, reducing drunk driving and parking nightmares.
10Emergency/Last-Minute Needs – Quick rides during bad weather, breakdowns, or urgent situations when personal vehicles aren’t viable.
Cybercab’s low cost, 24/7 availability, and autonomy make these practical and transformative for everyday life.

Nice try @Chasing88871257

Your reply shifts focus from the shooter’s actions and Trump’s peace appeal to academic critiques of his language as a driver of political violence.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime were masters of shifting focus and blame through rhetoric too. This was a core element of their propaganda strategy, not an occasional tactic.

Blaming Trump’s speech for “right-wing aggressions” after an assassination attempt is a classic example of deflecting from the perpetrator’s direct responsibility to broader cultural/political rhetoric. Hitler did analogous things repeatedly: after violence or crises, Nazis blamed Jews, communists, or “enemies within” rather than examining their own incitement or failures. Both cases involve interpreting isolated acts of violence through a partisan lens of “the other side’s hateful words caused this,” while downplaying the shooter’s agency.

@DetroitBoy16 @bennyjohnson So sad, do better Ken.

[Mark Pelt @Mark_DownUnder]

@ThomasSowell I don’t think she’s dumb. She’s pretending to be dumb, while she exactly knows what she’s doing = voter deception. It’s sad that these games are being played.

@AaronYo2023 @liz_churchill10 Projection level: expert.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

The corporate world built a religion around one lie.

That leadership is separable from understanding.

That you can run a machine you cannot read.

Musk: “At SpaceX, almost all my time is spent on engineering and design.”

Not strategy meetings. Not press tours. Not optics.

The weeds.

Musk: “If you don’t understand something at a detailed level, you cannot make a decision.”

If you need someone to translate the problem, you are not the decision-maker.

The translator is.

You are a rubber stamp with a corner office.

We built an entire economy rewarding people who speak in abstractions.

Strategy. Synergy. Alignment.

Physics does not care about synergy.

When the rocket is on the pad, the org chart does not matter.

The metallurgy does.

If you do not know where the alloy fails, you are not leading.

You are guessing with authority.

Most executives are operating on secondhand information.

Playing telephone with reality.

When you delegate the understanding, you forfeit the outcome.

They call it micromanagement.

It is the opposite.

When you understand the work, you know which failures matter and which ones are the price of moving fast.

The executive who cannot read the metal panics at every setback.

So he punishes it.

And the moment you punish failure, your team stops reaching.

They do not stop because they are lazy.

They stop because they are rational.

Nobody takes the shot when missing costs them everything.

You do not build rockets with a workforce optimizing for job security.

The further you get from the metal, the faster the company rots.

The era of the spreadsheet executive is over.

The future does not belong to the person with the best summary.

It belongs to the one who never needed one.

@mattvanswol Fake post. You can change most of your point in the post by making better choices yourself. Be the change and encourage other instead of being voice of doom.
