  1. Come on thunderfoot, this is not fair. The guy is clearly went crazy, we shouldnt hit him while he is on the floor.

  2. Nope, he is attacked, because his companies are not startups anymore, and Musk still behaves as running a startup, while in fact he is running the biggest car manufacturing company on the world, at least on paper. He could get away with some overhype while he could maintain this garage business view, but from a big manufacturer everyone awaits reliability.

  3. I was here laughing at him, when he was the shining star of the democrats. Simply because 90% of what he is saying is either doesnt make any technical sense, overpriced, or outright dangerous, I mean some people literally died in his cars, because they believed in this autopilot BS. Yeah we all know, that small businesses sometimes have to oversell to stay alive, everybody did that, but now the game has changed for Musk and his gigacorporations. Regarding Twitter I only have some problems about how he handled the technical staff, he fired lots of good coders, who contributed not just to twitter but to the coding community as well.  @pablorages1241

  4. I like that you not calling it an outright BS, which possibly it is, but not yet proven conclusively. BTW the problem with quantum computing is not that we cant build those machines, but those computations are well, based on quantum effects, so intrinsically unreliable, and would require error searching in the level or greater complexity than the problem it intends to solve. So the real question there is not some magnet, but if an efficient algorythm can be applied for a given problem, so it is not entirely cloud eating either, just very problematic.

  5. No you dont, your phase array antenna would cause serious troubles to the TCAS system of the airplane.

  6. Yep, that would work, although that would make it even more expensive.

  9. The government is wasting money by exactly putting money into Musk. He is a capitalist, he should risk his own wealth and his investors money and get away from subsidies, which should be outright banned. @liquidsnake6879

  10. Did anyone realize, that Musk is basically building the spaceship from Flash Gordon?

  11. A mile long train is a huge mass, thousands of tons, so accelerate/decelrate it requires a shitton of energy regardless of friction. Thats the not a free lunch part of it. Yep I guess the main problem with the regenerative braking thing is that they mainly do it, when they stop for unloading, and when they stop for unloading they actually dont need the power.

  12. Well, the truth is, he is juggling from the very getgo to fund these projects, he constantly oversold on everything, most of us knew that all the way along, and it is kindof tolerable for a very small company. However now Tesla and SapceX are big companies, so their fraudulent practices should be cut back, and they should be absolutely chased away from government money and influence.

  13. The sunk cost fallacy...

  14. To be correct he could have reached orbit, but until they demonstrate a retrofire with the engines FAA wont let it to happen.

  15. They made bootstrap, which I use quite often. So Musk should burn in hell, if he destroys Twitter.

  16. I actually looked it up, and Florida's average annual temperature was 69-70 F during the 1900s and 72-73 F today.

  17. Jalopnik had an article about the Tesla semi and roadster event, what you like to refer to: From Q1 2017 through Q1 2018, Tesla was losing $7,430 per minute. The company was just figuring out how to get Model 3 production up and running, and that cost a whole lot of money. Elon Musk admitted that the company was “less than a month from bankruptcy” at the time. If you’re a company in dire straits, and cash is key to your survival, you’ll do anything to get your hands on some, right? Would you make up some specs about some new products and pass a hat around the room to get some “deposits” for your wildly unrealistic promises? The Tesla Semi event, at which the Roadster was launched, might have been the turning point for the company. Rather than selling off some of his ownership of the company, Musk sold promises at $250,000 a piece, and has yet to honor them. Tesla had a Kickstarter campaign, and it’s not delivering perks. That quarter billion just for the Founders Edition cars probably helped the company quite a bit, and there’s no telling how many $50,000 deposits the company got and still holds. Much the same way Starbucks isn’t really a coffee company, Tesla isn’t really a car company.

  18. I love how democracy starts out as an idiot has the same voting rights and freedom of expression as a scientist, and ends in a way that the idiot is free to express its idiocy, while the scientist shouldnt deal with politics and should shut the f up...

  19. To the Mars?

  20. Well, the main problem with nuclear, is that nuclear fans are always overselling it to the point it looks like safer than walking in the park. Then Fukushima comes. Then the industry is ruined because the average voter feels that he was lied to. Then a few years later nuclear fans overselling it. Rinse and repeat. Even if you go to a tour into a nuclear reactor. It is a living paradox. It cant be damaged, yet you cant touch anything, it is absolutely secure yet you cant take a pic because of terror risk. It doesnt harm you yet you have to go through measuring stations in every half meters. Totally transparent, yet you cant visit 3/4 of it. Simple men simply feels something is off there. Honest communication would be way more effective. Other industries thend to learn this lesson way more early.

  21. There were 22 malfunctions listed on spaceflight related incidents attributed to NASA, most of them were non lethal, and the mission achieved its goals anyway.

  22. Yeah I only feel sorry for his employees and the cars.

  23. He has an entire video about it.

  24. Well in theory he could make Hydrogen fuelled engines for his suborbital rockets, that would have somewhat less impact on the climate. The heating problem can be managed. If I would be Musk, and develop such a rocketship for passenger transport, then I would make it actual airworthy. If he manage to launch a spaceplane into suborbital flight, that can bounce on the atmosphere multiple times, increasing the travelled distance, and reducing reentry load.

  25. Its not that it doesnt work, it simply consumes more resources than the gains it give compared to a normal high speed rail.

  26.  @nkesteren  Well, US engineers seriously worked on a spacegun, which is a sound idea, except that not a lot of things survive a 100 G acceleration which you would intend to send into orbit.

  27. Lol no, Google Waymo is the only car in the world that is anywhere near FSD anyone who is in the car industry can affirm that, and even it has accidents. Your tesla is a dangerous road nightmare, which can kill someone even if you keep your hands on the wheels.

  28. I dont want to pretend that I understand molecular dynamics that much, but actually the difference between tha pH of 7 and 7.44 for d2O would certainly make up for a 1% sugar solution. Isnt it possible that you simply taste heavy water as less acidic than normal water?

  29. Dont worry, he will bring egg prices down with... racket technology!

  30.  @ipolodesign  Nuclear is slow to build and expensive too. If he gets his spreadsheet and actually calculates that with 15-20 years to build a powerplant, how many time it takes to push it up from 10% to 70% of total electricity production, he will realize it would take a 100 years or so.

  31.  @ipolodesign  We could build NPP-s but those alone simply cant be the solution, because we cant build enough of them before the climate crisis will be horrible. We need alternatives.

  32.  @lelagrangeeffectphysics4120  Ahh, oil will never run out. Really abowe 140 dollar per barrel it is financially viable to make oil out of coal through Fisher Tropsch cycle, like the nazis did in WWII. And we have goddamn lot of coal, it would take tens pf thousands of years to burn the whole known reserve. The problem with that of course it is a climate killer. But oil companies will do it for sure, its not worse than the shale oil stuff they do in Canada.

  33.  @ipolodesign  We have to gain time for the transition. It will take time regardless.

  34. Yeah RMBK looked so sweet of an idea on paper, no wonder soviets built them like crazy.

  35. America fkck yeah...

  36. Yeah, definitely those will never ever climb down on a lava cave unlike a real scientist. Heck NASA has flown at least 5 of those and still cant answer the question why the Martian surface is so oxisidized, which is pretty obvious since its a red planet. Was it abiologic, if so how the free oxygen was generated, can we somehow replicate the process, or there were cyanobacteria, like in earth, but then why dont we find the fossils. We know way more about the Moon thanks to the astronauts who took their geology classes seriously, and the geologist, because they picked up the rigth rocks, and brought those back.  @alexturnbackthearmy1907

  37. Yeah, thatswhy it is called a Ponzi scheme. Because noone wants to buy a Tesla car, everybody wants to buy Tesla stocks. And Tesla stocks dont have intrinsic value behind them without the cars. Its the same sht with crypto. Some people tried to explain it for years to simps, that if you hear the world faith in the world of investment, then pack up your money and run.

  38. What could be the secret of Nicola Tesla, that he became such a scammagnet?

  39. Bitterness? Musk cultists are fun as hell. We dont want you to stop invest in Musk, we only want to have a good laugh.

  40. Thatswhy I love Musk. I have some Musketeer colleagues, and just cashed in on them last year on two bets, that neither his boosters will return to the launchsite, nor their starship will go into orbit.Although Im not entirely proud of that, because a gentleman doesnt put bets on things which are certain as death.

  41. Well, technically there's not too much deltav difference between sending his rocket into a polar circumlunar orbit, or sending it into an equatorial transfer to Mars.
    1
  42. Well, unfortunately transportation only amounts to 10% of total CO2 emissions, from that road transportation only amounts to 20%, and the real solution for that is still public transport, not electric cars.
    1
  43. I would highly doubt that Australia is the biggest exporter of black and brown coal in the world, so they are per capita counted as the biggest polluters.
    1
  44. No they wont. Not because Starship wont reach orbit, I think it eventually will, but the orbital refuelling will never work as it is intended. A rocket does not deliver too much fuel into orbit, so Musk has to launch dozens of these rockets to fill up one., Meanwhile the one parking in orbit cant maintain its fuel for months, its cryogenic, so either they blow it off regularly, or it will explode. This is, what Musk came up with actually a horrible idea.
    1
  45. Well, the whole system is actually against innovation. Americans are greedy over Chinese because they manufacture for less, Chinese want to get every new invention for free, we dont work together, and dont use the best things found around the world, rather pushing certain groups interests ahead. Russians actually have a way better idea for cheap space transport than Musk has, think whatever anyone want, but they are really good in rocket tech, regardless of their military actions, they even have the working engines, yet noone wants to push it forward, and they dont want to share it.

  46. I wonder if Tesla is still the most shorted stock on wall street ever...

  47. Well, if the courts invite in any experts on full self driving, and ask them the single question, that by any software update according to existing industrial standards regarding robotaxis and self driving cars any Tesla model would ever be able to function in a full self driving mode with the currently installed hardware in them, the answer would be a categorical no. They dont have radars, lidars, and a ton of other sensors installed, which real self driving cars all have. Teslas sold today will never ever be self driving cars. So Musk pretty much made such a lie as Holmes did.

  48. He goes for the too big to fail status and government bailouts.

  49. They dont invest in Musk. Bill Gates actually shorting Tesla, the only company Musk owns and actually worth something. The average Musk fanbase is investing in him.

  50. Oh BTW the Cybertruck is not a Mad Max vehicle. Its an updated DeLorean concept. The fun part is that DeLorean was a Ponzi scheme too.
