Now I see why Tesla doesn't advertise- there is no way any ad agency could have come up with anything even a tenth as brilliant as this!

Oatmeal rules for sure. Add nuts to oatmeal, and it's muesli, that should have been his handle!

Random non-EV friends sent this to me today. It has gone 'viral'...!
The Oatmeal has long been my favorite comic/blog site and I have read every entry there. I knew he liked Tesla and got Elon to donate to the museum, but I didn't know he had the car (or frankly that his blogging could fund a Model S)
I don't like how he's putting Elon on the spot and basically shaming him into donating. Not cool. The guy draws/writes funny comics but bad choice in how he's asking for funds.
Check out @elonmusk's Tweet: Twitter / elonmusk: @Oatmeal I would be happy to help
Elon agrees to help!
Elon Musk @elonmusk · 3h said:@Oatmeal may all technology in the future follow the zeroth law...

Elon agreeing to help: good.
Elon up at 3 am slogging away: hmm.
I loved the cartoon too, but wish he didn't bring the fires up again.
People have actually already forgot those fires. During my conversations with people noone mentions them any more. So why bring it up again?
How could he not? They can get the naming rights so that it's the Tesla Motors Tesla Museum, or TMTM for short.
I don't think he really put him on the spot. In his begging letter, he noted specifically that Elon Musk chooses to invest his wealth in, essentially, huge semi-philanthropic projects instead of yachts, strippers or yachts with strippers, but said that he did spend $1M on a very expensive (awesome) toy, so how about $8M to build and run a Tesla museum, Elon?
Elon Musk added another tweet:
(No explanation of the zeroth law needed here, I presume).
Elon’s tweet was in response to Inman’s about Hari Seldon so you were right to look toward Azimov; it’s not the zeroth law of thermodynamics but of robots "A robot may not harm humanity, or through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm”.
Wikipedia said:A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
