Im holding out for the model that opens up and transports you to the top of the bunk bed without having to climb up those shelves!Treat your kid right, put TSLA in their account and get them a rocket bunk bed.

Twitter is human interaction, something Elon is not very good at, as he's proven repeatedly, often on Twitter.
I'd much rather he spend his software talents on improving Tesla products. He can start with phantom braking to make basic TACC at least as useful as dumb cruise control.

I noticed you used plural "people". Have you seen others proposing this theory? I've been putting it out there ever since I saw the wavy body panels of the trucks at GigaRodeo but I didn't think my theory had been getting any traction. I would be curious if you've seen anyone else proposing the same thing or any other possible explanations on why the pre-production Cybertrucks regressed from flat panels to wavy panels.
A simple explanation for this weeks TSLA pricing action.
May the 4th be with you: 4.7% gain
Sinko De Mayo: 9% drop
Afraid to ask what Tomorrow brings.
Return of the Sixth?
Apologies and whatnot.

I assume Teslabot won't be available until its ROI has been proven in Gigafactories. Factory jobs can be simple yet still useful. For example, a bot could follow a person and carry parts, take notes while the person inspects a line, or even hold a flashlight. The bot could grab a lunch or a coffee, and double as a guard at night. You could ask a bot to go grab something while still working on a task. Unlike people who do best with a single job, bots can switch tasks constantly and make great work assistants.
The tasks may seem frivolous, but I can easily see saving 30 minutes a shift. At 3 shifts a day, and 365 days a year @$30 / hour, that would save $16k annually. Selling bots for $30k should be an easy, and for a lot more if they can perform even 25% of a FT person's tasks.

I'll tell you what. I propose that you don't tell Elon which projects he undertakes in his spare time are a waste of his time, and he won't tell you how you should most productively spend your spare time and which projects you work on are most worthy of your spare time.
In this way, everyone can be an adult and allocate their own time in the manner they think most suitable.

Disagree here - Twitter interactions will be the raw data for Dojo - and Elon is a fast learner, great at finding and hiring the best. I also believe most folk aren't looking at Twitter the right way. Since this would take us OT I've posted my thoughts on that other thread.

I haven't heard anyone propose anything similar. But I don't do Twitter and other social media so I wouldn't know.
I actually had a vision in one of those dreams where you are part awake and part asleep (but mostly asleep) of this really long line of rollers shooting panels through it at high speed and realized it matched up perfectly with what I saw in the Cybertrucks displayed at the Gigarodeo.
When I was more awake, I realized it made perfect sense, at least with what I know about cold-rolling steel and forming metal as well as the economics of it.

Sorry, brother, this is a myth without foundation, along with "he has no empathy because he's on the Spectrum."
I have read or watched numerous accounts/videos of Elon's interactions with humans, including his employees, friends/family, strangers, and even rivals such as Bezos and Gates. IMO, he is extremely skilled at communication and managing people, which is partly how he has built trillion-dollar companies with hundreds of thousands of highly motivated workers.
I'm guessing you dislike some of his tweets (such as "pedo guy," for which he apologized). But I also suspect you are not an average human, fortunately for you.

It seems to me you are making a mistake by presumption. Just because, in the moment, a person on the spectrum may struggle with aspects of human interaction in no way diminishes their ability to analyze human interaction. These are completely different skill sets.
Analysis is his strong suit. Plus, he seems to interact well enough with those tasked with doing the work, else, what brought his successes seen so far?
I'd much rather he spend his talents on identifying big picture problems and offering potential ways of dealing with them. Then, delegate those ways to others to solve for (while maintaining a feedback loop). This way the value of his time is maximized by helping delegates only when they run out of ideas, or if they stray from the path he has imagined.
I'm sure you must be as creative and successful as Elon in as many, if not more disciplines, to be speaking with such authority about how he should be doing things. Congratulations on your successes.

An Ant is outside looking in when it comes to the New York Times.... FSD threatens an influential government mass transit system as well as the serious private institutions of transportation within the city. Money, unions, etc.And he was promoted after that...absolutely zero that comes from them can be trusted without peer review.

John M. Broder joined the editorial board at the start of 2018. He most recently served as deputy climate editor and director of news surveys, with responsibility for overseeing the New York Times Poll and polling analysis.www.nytimes.com
The Times is just doing business.
He has 90 million followers on Twitter; a platform which he uses extremely effectively to promote his brands.
That’s a weird example of not being good at something. How much publicity does someone like Jim Farley bring to his brands via his social media presence? Or Mary Barra?
His approach to communications is unorthodox, but demonstrably extremely effective.

I don’t know about that. I think you’ve bought the story that because of his Aspergers, he’s socially inept.
On the contrary, we’ve seen many examples of him interacting with people quite capably in interviews and on stage. People have described him as charming, attentive, charasmatic.
And lastly, he’s as self-aware as anyone and knows his shortcomings in this regard. He has learned and adapted quite well from my perspective.
A lot of the things ‘normal’ people post on Twitter and other social media are disgusting, hateful, or moronic drivel. Those people are far more socially challenged than Elon.

TSLA intraday low was -9.9641% vs yesterday's Close.
Yes, that low SP was 35 cents above the trigger point for the -10% "uptick rule".
Jus' a coincidence. Nothing to see here, move along...

If that is “letting the thing coast” investors in other Musk originated enterprises might not mind that he leaves. From Xoom in particular few even have a vague notion of the profitability of international consumer/small company FX, even beating typical bank rates by 300 Basis points or more. That is just one, the quite entertaining thing about these businesses is that they are often almost invisible to non-users..
Elon had a long term vision for X.com that went to PayPal. After he lost, a decade later they resuscitated his vision. Step by step. Of course he no longer was there, but his influence was durable.
And so it can be for Tesla, SpaceX etc even if he personally leaves. It’s always been interesting that even his fans don’t understand how durable his influences can be.
They are literally editing it in real time. The upside is that both Twitter and the comments section on their own site is really negative towards this really strange hit piece.
