Lol, the very unsublte 'look down and to the right' as he tries to think of a level of use that doesn't sound as bad as "I literally did some before the cameras started rolling and that was the fourth time today" is amazing.

In case anyone is confused, a prescribed dosage wouldn't be 'apply topically' - it'd be a regular schedule that he'd know off the top of his head - once daily, three times a day, every second day in the evening, etc. They don't just tell you to do a dab when you're feeling a bit sad, like.

I'd be willing to bet he's been diagnosed with nothing and it just off his fucking tits most of the time. It would at least explain why he talks and types like he's drunk, constantly.

All of his Tesla ideas have flopped. The Cybertruck. The yoke. Removing the indicator stalk. Removing ultrasonic sensors. Removing the radar. Tesla Roadster. I imagine the Cybercab can be added to that list.

I wonder if engineers deliberately make it shit to spite him, like selecting the wrong glue for the panels, a bit like Citroen making longer dipsticks in the trucks they made for the German army in ww2

No particular moral here, this is just funny

Musk tries to stream Path of Exile 2 (The game he paid someone to make him good at) from his private jet



Also he got smoked by the boss in the prologue - you know, the part of the game meant to gently ease you into it.

Saw Musk yelling about this - but interesting that despite the recent rhetoric about "Driving a Tesla makes you a Nazi sympathiser" the Brits still want a Tesla.

A used Tesla. All that tells me is a lot of people sold up, potentially taking a bath to do so. New car figures are more important.

Car reviewed the 2025 Model Y.

It didn't go well.

https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-revie ... del-y-suv/
At a glance

Pros: good battery efficiency, AWD model is properly quick, great charging network
Cons: uncomfortable ride, irritating cabin ergonomics, everyone will hate you
I don't think Car are too fussed about getting early access to Tesla press cars any time soon.

I mean, they can't make it all. Every demonstration so far has been telepresence based stock bumps.

I really wish VC investors weren't so very fucking stupid.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case, honestly. Tesla’s build quality issues sometimes feel too consistent to be accidental
