Lol - correct- I was about to correct it and got distracted with a call. I respect the family and their foundation does great work.

If true, would explain the stress. Not Talulah per se, just the back and forth.

Check upthread for similar posts from this poster in the mid-June timeframe. Not sure of his motivation, but maybe he has an issue with Elon dating Amber?
Amber Heard splits from PayPal billionaire Elon Musk
I'm sorry. Forgot the URL.
Why I think Talulah is back? He start following her on Twitter. (And stopped following her again now).

DrunkAmber is not a fun amber
Depp didn't beat her hard enough to understand this

Not posting at TMC after 9/17/2018
People Magazine and TMZ published mostly the same info so I think it's legit: Amber Heard and Elon Musk Split After a Year of Dating
tldr; Elon initiated the breakup, saying he is too busy.
I have always maintained that Elon doesn't need a 3rd ex-wife or more children (he has responsibility for 5 sons already), on top of SpaceX and Tesla...
This post is vomit inducing in so many ways.Whatever makes you happy..

Ran across this video snippet about Elon meeting Steve Jobs (since many talk about the two). I'm sure it's way back there somewhere in this thread, but I ain't gonna go through almost 2k posts to find it:
A perverse part of me wanted Elon to tweet:
"Asking to rejoin the manufacturer's council so I can resign again."
But I guess the moment has passed.

Here's a shower thought I had yesterday morning. It makes us realize that we are asking for things more modern than are really available. Here it is:
Shower thought:
Elon Musk seems more modern than he is; he brings early 1980s solutions to a 1950s world. Grow up Elon!
People like Elon Musk & Donald Trump seem modern when they really aren’t as modern as they seem. Most of the world is stuck in the 1950’s, so when Trump comes along many decades more modern, or Musk comes with his early 1980’s solutions to everything, they seem really modern in comparison.
For instance, where is PGP, Bitcoin in Tesla, USA commerce? Why isn’t the API key in MyTesla a public-private key pair for each user with settable permissions? We've had that since late 1980's. Even the concept of users with permissions has been around since before the 1970's.

IMO Trump is not modern at all. He's just different. In a lot of ways he's one of the biggest fuddy duddies to ever be president. A lot of the "Make America Great Again" stuff was really "Let's go back to the way things were in the 50s" or earlier. Coal has been in decline as an employer since the 1920s, but Trump wants to double down on the energy tech not of last century, but the century before.
And as for security, computer security is usually only as good as it needs to be. The higher the level of security, the more complicated it usually is and often users run into more problems.
It's the same idea with home security. Very few houses have security that would be much of a problem from a first class thief, but we don't worry about it because first class thieves are targeting much more valuable targets. There are hackers out there with the skills to break the security on just about any car, but while the white hat hackers do it to show manufacturers where they need to improve, the black hat hackers are focused on more lucrative targets.
There is little money in stealing a modern car. Unless you transport the car to a country that doesn't check, or send the car to a chop shop, the risk of stealing cars is high and the reward is tough to get. There are targets with much less risk and higher reward for hackers, like identity theft or conning people into paying you.
To a large degree the car industry has been well behind the tech curve. Heavy industry products usually are. Aircraft, especially commercial aircraft are even further behind the curve. The cost of screw ups on the bleeding edge are too high. Mess up a cell phone design and a few people might get hurt like with the Galaxy 7 fires, but injuries are rare and it might be a short term disaster for the company, but the risk is a lot lower than a machine that can literally kill a lot of people if you screw up.
Car companies were closer to the cutting edge in the 50s and 60s, but the pace of change was slower then. Being 5 years behind the cutting edge didn't look so antiquated as it does today. Tesla moved the car's tech closer to the cutting edge, but they are still behind it.
Ashley Vance's book on Musk talks about the starting of SpaceX. Elon saw it was another area where the tech was way behind what was possible. He initially tried to buy some surplus rockets from Russia with the idea of placing an experiment on Mars that could be streamed on the internet where they would grow some plants there. The Russians messed around with him to such an extent that on the flight back from Moscow he worked out the math and came to the conclusion he could do it significantly cheaper than the Russians or anyone else.
Elon looks around for things that could be done with existing tech, would be of benefit, but isn't being tried and he goes for it. He is very cautious about making sure something it possible before trying it. He probably won't invent the warp drive or the flux capacitor. Vance described Musk as a scientist with the soul of an engineer. Scientists try to figure out how the universe works and what might be possible. Engineers are concerned with making things work, ie applying science.
Musk is one of the world's best engineers. He has a deep understanding of science, his degree is in Physics, and that helps him figure out what is and isn't possible, but his goal is always to make something, not figure out how the fundamental nature of the universe.
