Once again for the folks in the back.

I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

@rodhilton *slow clap* That guy has the understanding of a five year old. To think he sold Tesla to the public as addressing climate crisis and receives gov subsidies to this day for that.

He is a fraud through and through.

@noondlyt @rodhilton I'm really not a fan of Musk, but if an expert would explain to me that something is there to prevent something getting too wet (and not why "too wet" could be dangerous) in some exceptional scenarios I'd also decide to remove it to get a more marketable price.
@goedelchen @noondlyt @rodhilton bear in mind that we don't really know what the explanation was or where this account comes from. I've often been in the position of explaining the reason for not doing somethin, & them months or years later heard a wildly wrong version of that explanation - attributed to me - to illustrate of how wrong the decision was.
An unholy but very common mashup of 'Chesterton's Fence' & 'Telephone'.
@goedelchen @noondlyt @rodhilton
What should have been done is that he should have consulted multiple sources an gotten a complete understanding of the risk profile. Just using the rubric of '100 year event' pretty conclusively demonstrates he didn't have that.
