Unmasking Elon Musk

[husaberg]

From what i have read musks site doesn't have a fire trench like the nasa sites designs did.
some of the engine damage in the past has been from debris being thrown up into the engines.

This appears to be a deliberate thing as they expect to relaunch this from the moon and mars where their will be no pad.

Shame space construction ain't a thing or he could ship it up in 3 or 4 bits. Maybe he could fit the pieces with FSD and they can put themselves together.

Yusss!! „UNECE Regulation on Driver Control Assistance Systems“ (DCAS), that enables FSD Beta in Europe.

Initially, the final draft was expected to be completed until 2024, which would have meant that FSD could’ve received approval until January 2025.

Now the European Commission intends to give DCAS the highest priority and wants to complete it this year. The final draft is expected to be ready as early as September of this year.

This means that FSD Beta could be possible in Europe at the earliest by January 2024, and at the latest by the summer of 2024.

I'm still picking Teslas FSD to be in some version in NZ in 2024

Yeah, the same guy who has more tech knowledge than you can dream of and helps interesting tech startups get up and running to this day - because, you know he still has his finger on the pulse of tech issues.

He gives credit where it is due, and brickbats where those are due too. If you could just get Musks nuts off your chin long enough, you might actually get some perspective.

Musk and Tucker Carlson are working together to produce a right wing nut job/fantasy programme of some sort on Twitter. No doubt somebody somewhere will be interested. I'll pass.

Twitter ain't what it was. When I opened it this morning the first few posts were from RWNJs: the likes of Marjorie Taylor Green and Dan Bongino etc etc. I used to see them only rarely but now somehow the algorithm has decided I need the thoughts of these cretins to start my day. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

That was the initial rumour, but everywhere online it is now being reported that Elon has not struck any sort of deal with Tucker.

Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted late Tuesday that there was no deal with Carlson, and he urged people from both sides of the political spectrum to join the site.

“On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever he or anyone may say,” he said.

For the record, I'm not a fan of Mr Carlson (but that applies to most representatives of the 'media') nor a Musk fan-boi.

To be fair to musk, he has invited Don Lemon to do the same.
It is an interesting development to get this sort of content natively on twitter. It could really elevate it to another level. So well done to Musk if he pulls that off.

What I saw was an video announcement by Carlson himself. A possibly premature announcement?

Comments I've seen since.
Carlson's following are cable news viewers. That demographic is generally elderly and may not be interested in learning new tricks just to view Twitter.
On FOX Carlson was not challenged on anything he said. Twitter is not like that - at all. Depending how thin skinned he is he may not find Twitter much to his liking.

As always, we'll see.

All good points Pritch, I know nothing much about twitter as I do not use it. Do they have hosted content, like long videos on twitter?

If you can find that video do you mind posting a link? I've looked and can't find it, and I would've thought a video like that would have spread like wildfire considering Elon is on record as saying no deal has been struck.

Takes him until near the end of the video to mention it....

I've seen that clip, he mentions he's going to twitter to run his 'show' but he doesn't say anything like him and Musk are working together as Pritch claims.

I'm glad someone else has pointed this out.
