For nearly a decade Elon Musk has claimed Teslas can truly drive themselves. They can’t. Now California regulators, a Miami jury and a new class action suit are calling him on it.
I know I’m going to get downvoted but I use FSD every day. It’s not perfect but it keeps getting better, and it’s already the best solution out there. If you haven’t actually used it then all you have is someone else’s opinion.
Stipulated: Elon still lied about the timetable.
Stipulated: Eton helping Trump and doing DOGE made me sick to watch.
Literally the same writer for Forbes, Alan Ohnsman, in January 2017, doing a lot of heavy lifting for these Musk lies that he now claims are catching up to Musk.
Maybe you shouldn’t have helped peddle them then, Alan & Forbes??
This was just a quick online search because I knew that Forbes helped glaze this lying fuck at one point, but it’s an extra layer of get fucked to have it literally be the same author.
Buddy, it’s been 8 years since then. People are allowed to, and are encouraged to change their opinions as time goes on. So the author bought the hype in 2017; And??? A LOT has changed since then, and it’s no shock that his stance has too.
I mean, of course, but we’re literally talking about Forbes a financial magazine that has a long history of glazing CEOs when they shouldn’t have been. This is part and parcel to what they’ve been doing for decades now, so it’s a little silly to be like “but they can change their minds!”
For example, Elizabeth Holmes was on the cover of Forbes in September 2015, just months before the lid got blown off about her medical devices being hokum.
I’m all for people changing their minds, but these are media organizations who literally peddle the idea that these are “Great Men” (or women) who we should be looking up to. They aren’t doing the legwork to make sure their claims aren’t farcical, they just repeat them as sacrosanct. Fortunes, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal are all complicit in the entire fraud of CEOs being paid obscene amounts of money and over-inflating their importance, and they’ve been complicit in it for decades. Cheering on one of their writers because they changed their mind when evidence became far too obvious to ignore kind of misses the point entirely about these media organizations and how they enable these charlatans to steal the value of our labor from us and take it as their own.
Man, 8 years ago Elon was my literal hero, paving the road to a new space era and pushing for the solar & EV revolution. I ate that shit up right up till the cave incident.
How times have changed…now all I want is billionaire steak with my fava beans and an appropriated chianti
I never got sucked into his con luckily but I’ll forgive anyone liking Elon pre cave incident. But after that it just became more apparent with each passing day what a lying asshat he is.
I wouldn’t even eat Elon now. Thaf meat is rotten.
They’re just about to (or have) started testing here in Japan. Jesus fucking Christ we’re stupid.
