Yeah Elmo, they are going to take our homes.  
 

Remember, this is a guy who a kajillion folks, including many people on this board, think is a genius.

He actually thinks that the government is going to use eminent domain to take homes from individuals to serve as....temporary shelters for immigrants or some shit.

Not only is he not a genius, he has consistently demonstrated that he's one of the dumbest sonsabitches to ever walk the goddamned planet.  I wouldn't put Elmo in charge of a fucking Popeye's franchise.

I do find it very funny that the guy who styles himself as a futurist and thinks he's going to save humanity and lead us into some sort of utopian future is legitimately falling for just the dumbest 19th century racist pseudoscience.

Quote

Musk was accepted into Stanford in California for PhD studies, but he dropped out after only 2 days to pursue his first business enterprise with his brother

https://iss.washington.edu/requests/immigration-record-updates/reinstatement-reentry/

Quote

Maintaining lawful status requires making normal progress toward completing a course of study and complying with the following immigration regulations.

So unless I'm missing something:

• Elmo faked an intention to study at Stanford in order to get a student visa and/or
• Elmo immediately dropped out of Stanford to do things that immigrants weren't allowed to do

By Elmo's logic, isn't he also an illegal immigrant?

I understand this is Surly, but you're really insulting Roy "Rocky" Dennis with this comparison. Rocky was ostracized and marginalized but his family never stopped advocating on his behalf. His rare genetic disorder did not affect his intelligence although his health was compromised and the fight his mother took against the school district to have her son included in mainstream classes was a lesson in perseverance, classism, and compassion.

Elon, on the other hand, has been pampered and petted since birth and compassion is a foreign feeling to him. Rocky died at 16, while Elon was making plans to use his mother's Canadian citizenship to attend school in Canada (from where he then transferred to UPenn in the states). The only grit in Elon is the sand in his white butt crack.

RIP Rocky Dennis;Put some respect on his name.

You make good points, and I have removed my "haha" emoji reaction.

I wish I could reassign it to the "lowtax speed run" post just upthread in order to double my approval.

If there are 3 focus areas on a project, let’s say you were building a Volvo. You are known for making safe, durable, and comfortable cars. You decide to add a 4th (design)

Safety

Durability 

Comfortable 

Design

Only a moron would assume the car will crash because you also included a cool design

Drives home how much of an utter sycophant loser you need to be to buy anything Musk related at this point, when other options exist.

Obvious exception for people who bought Teslas some time ago, and who are probably and unfortunately in a bad negative equity situation.

Unfortunately? A car is a depreciating asset. All car owners are in a negative equity situation. It’s not luck these idiots are in the same situation. They believe Musk that Tesla owners could turn their cars into an income producing asset. It’s idiocy, naïveté, or sycophancy.

Often, between down payment and payments made, people have *some* equity. Not always, but often. In other words, most people pay down their principal amount one or many steps ahead of the depreciation curve.

But the drop in value of these cars has been so precipitous that it's almost impossible to be right side up in many cases, even if the buyer was relatively responsible with respect to amount down and loan term.

It looks even worse in person. Someone at my kids school has one so I see it almost daily. It’s hard to decide at which angle it looks worse. I think from behind is laughably bad though.

I'm sure this opinion has been shared 1000 times, but I might be okay with it if it wasn't called a truck. If it was designed, marketed, and sold as a one-of-a-kind concept car, okay sure.
