The Elon Musk Thread

Everyone expected it to fail in some way or another, at least it wasn't on the launchpad, which would have been a problem.

Did you not follow the series of super heavy booster tests, that ended in failure a number of times, before success?

 

[Mr. Tea]

It's as if you're a total nonentity judging the work of titans for a cheap chortle

He's not going to fuck you!

 

[hmg]

Bug man in the gutter say what? It's all spurting cocks and hair buttocks in your world. In mine, it's the alluring curve of cold rolled steel and the whisper of specific impulses. We are not the same.

 

[Mr. Tea]

^Super gay takes

You really are a 10-year-old in a 60-year-old's body, aren't you?

Test drove a tesla the other day. Felt quite cheap tbh like a posh Peugeot

The giant touchscreen is cool and i do like the dash as well but the doors feel quite hollow in a way and the seats are a bit like those AMG coupes which i dont really like

Handling was okay, i think electrics don't seem to have the same heft on the road tbh, but considering it was the model 3 i thought it was quite sporty

I dunno i think if you are paying premium prices it should be on par with your lexus etc but i didnt think it was. Search continues

I've heard horror stories about the build quality of those things.

Dad's got one, went in it last time was in the UK. Not driven it but I agree it feels kinda plasticcy and lightweight.

gay takes

?

 

[hmg]

Wouldn't have a Tesla, much prefer to burn fractionated oil products sustainably and ethically sourced, not like those horrible, exploitative rare earth metal mines.

 

[hmg]

?

Yes, it's British slang for takes that are fake, lame and, yes, hella gay.

 

[Murphy]

We never say hella, well, more you’ve a new ‘wannabe an American’ Americanism to play with

Yes. If you're about 10.

I was really surprised, I expected it to be the other way- over-engineered & loads of heavy steel

think the big touchscreen is a distraction technique if anything. shame as would like a full electric but probably going to have to go hybrid

Don't wanna be an American Peugeot (pronounce "pewjiot")

"hella" is kind of cringe here (no offense, HMG, you wouldn't know local context), even worse if spoken as opposed to written. often used by douche-y people on twitter who think they're much cooler than they are.

 

[Murphy]

Don’t tell him that!

A shattering experience, a hot minute ruined, deez nutz on fiyah, biscuits and gravy supplanting meat and 2 veg

I'd never really seen him interviewed until recently. He comes off as a total oddball, like watching an awkward, edgy teenager thinking he's outfoxing a teacher.

 

[luka]

you didnt watch the joe rogan interview? thought you'd be all over that.
