lifeinneon$TSLA crashing because the company is on autopilot is the most fitting end to 2022 possible
Dave Swersky@lifeinneon I'm not sure I get the calls for Elon to get back to Tesla... Like, now that we know there are whole teams dedicated to keeping him away from important decisions, does anyone really think he's going to save Tesla... Or anything?
Bruce Mirken@dswersky @lifeinneon I think the stock crash is less about wanting Musk back at #Tesla (though some still believe the myth) than it is about him turning driving a Tesla into the equivalent of wearing a MAGA hat, alienating buyers.
Robotbeat@BruceMirken @dswersky @lifeinneon E is actually good at leading teams to deploy cutting edge new things (you don’t lead Tesla and SpaceX by accident). His politics suck. Those two facts explain it.
@Robotbeat @dswersky @lifeinneon His politics do suck, but I think that the jury is at best still out on how good Musk is at leading the deployment of cutting-edge tech. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/21/business/tesla-fsd-8-car-crash/index.html
@BruceMirken @dswersky @lifeinneon SpaceX has launched 59 times to orbit this year, and almost all of those have been reused rockets that have landed afterwards. Do you know how many other orbital rocket companies have done that?
@Robotbeat @dswersky @lifeinneon For every example like that there's a counter-example, like the cybertruck that was supposed to launch in 2021 or the million robotaxis that were supposed to be on the road in 2020. I never said Musk's companies got nothing right, but the record is decidedly mixed. https://www.fastcompany.com/90677822/elon-musks-tesla-robotaxi-promise-typifies-self-driving-overexuberance
