    Just like we’ll have “full self driving this year” for 10 years running?

    Elon Musk is a fucking moron who happened to stumble upon brilliant engineers who actually do meaningful work. Unfortunately for him he’s fired or burned through nearly all of them which is why Twitter is bleeding cash and Tesla hasn’t released anything interesting in 5 years.

      Hey they regularly update the ability to make your vehicle into an expensive whoopie cushion. If that isn’t interesting I don’t know what is.

      That’s not true. I can think of a quick change that will greatly improve air safety: ground every single plane, effective immediately.

      Would it affect my upcoming vacation? Yes. But would it work? Yes.

        Good thing they saved us a bunch of money by shutting everything down then. They can spend the pentagons sushi budget on quickly training some safe operators.

    If the military doesnt do something, because Congress won’t, we’re absolutely cooked. I have family who work on planes. Fuck all of this.

    All I know is that I have a flight for work in a couple weeks and if shit keeps going this way I’m fucking driving, even if I have to leave a day early.

    Like to Tesla FSD systems, right? Slap a couple patches on there? Cut off a split second before it hits parked ambulances on the interstate so it’s technically not responsible?

      Every single action that he does even if it only takes a day to undo took decades to get implemented. Will probably take just as long to get it back.

      Planes go over my house all day. We’re all fucked, even if we don’t fly. Maybe one will fall on him and we can have a good laugh 😅

    Im going to stress that this is entirely hypothetical but I think that its possible that all of this insane behavior COULD be so they can make some sweeping changes and efficiency measures and just have people glad that what they do is so much better than what they said they were going to do.

    There was a period at my work where they came through talking about 1 in 4 job losses and overtime bans… etc. 3 months later they overhauled the job, we work a little harder and the restructuring was wildly unnpopular, but the only jobs that were lost were some early retirements and existing vacancies. So yeah it sucked, but a whole lot less that their first threats.
