EV means that the car doesn't have a gas/diesel engine.

That is a good point. The people who invested in long term leases in the late 90s in malls went bankrupt but the malls mostly stayed around. I assume the same thing will happen with office space. Demolishing the building is expensive, might

People said that to me in 2014. 8 years later Tesla sells over 1 million EVs a year and Toyota sells how many EVs?

From what I've read here and other places there was a unique situation of: 1. Large holiday volume of flights AND a lot of cancelations due to weather happened at the same time. 2. Their software system was unable to recommend optimal

That is mostly correct. Elon operates on an optimal level of abstraction across many domains. An organization's success is determined by thousands of variables. Elon understand most of the most important of those variables at a decent

No that is just when you started reading articles about how crazy he was. If you want to get up to speed start with the 2015 biography by Ashlee Vance.

The huge spike in price was due to the 0% rates. Same thing for Bitcoin and Peloton. Hopefully society goes back to caring about FCF and reality.

What is the range of the truck that GM will sell to the general public at 39k in 2024 with 20k towing capacity?

How many Lyriq's do you think will be delivered in 2023? What do you think the margins on those are going to be?

I've been closely following Musk/Tesla since 2014. It is been very interesting watching "experts" write Musk off as a software guy that doesn't understand cars 2014-2019, to watching people claim that TSLA will hit

The reality is that the dealership model is a scam and ICE car are going to have a lot less demand in 10 years. Maybe GM and Toyota can pivot into that world, but it is not guaranteed at all.

Yes, it is fractals all the way down and up but we are too stupid to realize it.

The minute we created agriculture this day was inevitable. It is stupid that we created agriculture? That is a matter of opinion,but I would say no.

Vinge has won plenty of awards. Can you recommend a book that is better and not a obvious top 50 SciFi books that most of us have read already?

It is about a lab engineered virus that spreads around the world. I had read it long before the pandemic.

People realized that they didn't need to work shitty jobs. They could Uber part time, or work as a nanny without reporting as a full time employee or cut down on their living expenses or live off of government programs. Just look at ho

Just to echo gp, America Christians have recently overturned roe. That is much worse from an individual freedom perspective than being forced by your employer to watch a video about how all white people should feel guilty of their white pri

What seems unique here is that it is that it an unorganized mob. The democrats certainly try to get the wokes support, but there is no woke party. Obama even called them out as keyboard warriors. And this is why I disagree with Elon, I don&

I agree. The only solution that I have found for this problem is to take advantage of their ignorance and tell them things like "we need 2 weeks to do a hardening Sprint to protect from zero days" then you can do whatever you need

There is no demand for that. Most crypto money is either libertarians who hold use self custody OR people trying to get rich quick who will put their money wherever they can leverage it the most with the highest APR on deposits.

This is what I've been talking about all year. It is such a relief to see it actually happen. In summary: The search for AGI is dead. Intelligence was here and more general than we realized this whole time. Humans are not special as f

Most of us in technology have had to learn new skills. I used to rack up and wire servers in a lab as part of my dev work. I don't do that anymore and instead had to learn aws and terraform. Personally I don't expect any empathy d

It doesn't matter, the point is that relying on autopilot will open up crash risks that do not exist with manual flight controls

It is a valid point but the financial incentives are so big that some jurisdictions will allow it. In fact they already do allow these autonomous systems on public roads. That is going to continue to expand and since the financial incentive

Elon, like a lot of people underestimates how much power corrupts. It is really easy to say "I would never cheat on my boyfriend/girlfriend when you don't have tons of attractive people throwing themselves at you" same t

There was never "billions" of deposits in the first place. Someone mints a coin and pays FTX 5 million to list it. Then that person pays influencers and invests themselves to get the price of the coin to go up. Now on paper that c

It doesn't matter. Taking deposits and investments from US citizens and then buying a 10 million dollar home for your parents with money from that company without your customers' permission is going to bring charges from regulator

Ironically the VW CEO that is responsible for the ID4 asked Elon to explain to his executives how to make EVs. https://electrek.co/2021/10/16/vw-ceo-herbert-diess-invites-...
