I much prefer long-form interview/podcast @elonmusk than 𝕏-reply Elon. The former is thoughtful and careful to provide nuance to his comments; the latter seems impulsive, careless, ignorant, and often unnecessarily offensive.

This is such a disappointingly juvenile reply… it’s basically bullying. Taking this logic to its extreme, Elon and Tesla are beyond any reproach — essentially, flawless — bc anyone who’d want to criticise any aspect of Tesla’s strategy would need to be more successful than him.

I am truly shocked by the level of tribalism around Elon… this is full-on Cult of Personality stuff. The replies are even worse! Disturbing and upsetting to read. In a way it makes sense — Elon is a very inspiring individual — but it feels unreal that some people become so

Elon is doing everything right. I am not saying this because I am Elon "fan". All those people complaining about Elon right now are people who follow Elon only for stock / money. Nothing else. Picture is bigger than you think. If USA fails, FSD, Engineering or Stock doesn't

@evomagazine I can only imagine the darkness that engulfs one’s soul when you’re an engineer in the team tasked with developing this “feature”. If Toyota was making smartphones, they’d put dials on them.

@bopinion You know the legacy industry (the guys paying for the ads) is really desperate when you see articles like this! “Oh, look, that green energy you think will save the world is actually dirty!” Let’s all lose hope then, and let’s just keep burning oil bc it’s all the same, right?

@owenshift We have very little objective info to justify trusting Elon’s companies with personal data more than Apple. It’s mostly just cognitive bias built on the perception that Elon is “on our side”, rightly or wrongly.

@LimitingThe @elonmusk @gainzy222 In my view, not helping Ukraine in any way possible for fear of “angering” a nuclear power is essentially allowing Putin to hold the West hostage. Choosing to protect a victim shouldn’t be decided on whether it is easy or risk-free; that’s precisely what a bully counts on.

@Truenortheh64 @elonmusk @john_beans @BillyM2k True. Society has changed, and fewer young people marry and live in the same town/city their parents live, which means they benefit less from that familial support. In turn, that means it takes them longer to reach the financial sufficiency required for raising children.

@elonmusk @DeItaone Yeah, you obviously can’t visit Gaza, which is why it wasn’t a great idea to visit the border area in Israel. In your eagerness to dispel the perception of antisemitism, you’ve essentially ended up taking sides. There are human tragedies on both sides of that border.

@LimitingThe I suspect the 2.5MWh figure is the energy equivalent of the diesel fuel burned for the job, not the actual energy needed in a logging truck with an electric drivetrain. And that's assuming it's not just a number he pulled out of his backside.

The Tesla community is increasingly morphing into the Cult of Tesla, and it’s frankly frightening to witness. How to know who’s a Cult Member? It’s people whose argument starts with: - “Elon said…” - “The Mission is…” - “Only Tesla cuts prices bc they CAN, not bc they have to”

@WholeMarsBlog @Berlinergy His honesty is… almost shocking! I mean, yeah, most people in the business are aware of this stuff, but nobody talks about it openly. I’m not sure he’s making many friends in the industry, but it increases investors’ confidence in the management for sure.

@CzechArtGirl @xIronman777 I totally get why you think this is a positive story. What it really is, is a story of selfishness and a bit of luck. There’s a reason FSD is in Beta, and why supervision is critical at all times. Make your own choices when the outcome only impacts* you. *pun intended
