But some really care about being linked with him.

No One's More Disgusted By Alleged Elon Musk Affair Than Woman He Allegedly Banged
Following allegations that Elon Musk broke up Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s marriage by having an affair with Brin’s wife, Nicole Shanahan, no one is denying the affair with more fervor than Shanahan herself.

In a statement shared to the Daily Mail on Wednesday, Shanahan’s lawyer said, “Make no mistake, any suggestion that Nicole had an affair with Elon Musk is not only an outright lie but also defamatory.”

(Sorry for the thread, but it really was about time.)

Teslas seem to be popular among the educational leadership in Alabama.

I don't know how to react to that dude who wants to give Elon a BJ to help Elon's sexual frustrations but I want to react.

So here is my reaction.

Also, I can add a second barf react on this post to double the barf reacts!

Edit:. I CANT REACT TO MY OWN POSTS... MY PLANS!

Elon Musk cares enough about Elon Musk for all of us.

I've also always made the point that you never really BUY a Tesla, you rent it. Tesla can reach in and change the features of your car with a software update. They have rolled back higher versions of cars to the base model when they get resold because they say only ythe origianl buyer paid for those features and they are not transferable. Really fucks up the resale value.

Exactly. Tesla has a horrible record of supporting garages and aftermarket parts. One of the reasons that they are pressing for direct sales laws instead of dealerships. And also why states passed laws against direct sales, as automakers were abusing their repair monopolies. Modern computer controls and connected vehicles have greatly increased the ability of manufacturers to abuse their customers over longer times. And don't even get started on what happens when a company shuts down servers for older products. If your car has to phone home, you never own it.

At least with a computer, if you don't like Windows, you could always wipe it and install Linux. I wonder if there will be some sort of open-source software alternative effort for these cars.

I don't see how that would work. The proprietary code is probably burned permanently into the 1000+ chips in a modern car.

Good point. I guess it was wishful thinking that there'd be just one central computer that controls everything, that could be reflashed.

This is how Skynet starts. Self-driving, self-aware cars with millions of chips that can't be turned off or altered by non-Telsa humans. And Musk likes automation, eventually there will be no humans at Telsa (there'll be Musk, but he's a Bond villain, so I don't think he counts).

Twitter didn’t pull any punches in the 127-page filing, walking right up to the line of calling Musk an idiotic liar without actually using those words. But they were damn close.

“The Counterclaims are a made-for-litigation tale that is contradicted by the evidence and common sense,” Twitter said in the new court filing. The company called his complaints “factually inaccurate, legally insufficient, and commercially irrelevant.”
