reports are he is giving $45 million a month

Gotta wonder what that $45 million is buying…


Gotta go for the TruCoat. Thats where the value is. View attachment 103185

Fckn A! I demanded Tru Coat on my new F150 a few years ago…am I glad I did!


Just like Tesla moved from CA to Texas but major facilities for Tesla still exist in CA. Including building a brand new factory in Lathrop for MegaPacks after Musk's proclamation about moving to Texas. In all practicality SpaceX has out-grown Hawthorne and it isn't practical to build Starship LV sections in Hawthorne. Also a lot of SpaceX's best engineers probably have moved to be near Starbase anyway because that is where Starship is being built and developed. Raptor engines are built at McGregor Texas. So most of the development action for SpaceX has already moved to Texas. The Falcon 9 will probably be built for another decade but eventually SpaceX expects to phase out the Falcon-9 once Starship is fully developed and customers are comfortable with the Launch Vehicle. Elmo's posturing on Titter is just confirming what was already happening is that Hawthorne would become less and less important to SpaceX.
My grandson works in Lathrop in the MegaPack facility. I really hope Musk doesn’t move that plant to Tex-Ass.

I really doubt that Lathrop is going anywhere since they just got done bringing that plant up to full capacity of 40 GHw a year. Even with all of Elmo's posturing, Fremont still cranks out cars.

A seat at the table. 100% he is coming after OpenAI with a vengence. Why? Cause he is a petty little bitch.

edit: I would be willing to put money that this has already been discussed as part of the deal.

Oh man, I got a real close look at a Cybertruck yesterday. The stainless looks horrible compared to the old Deloren. You can see strange patterns in it like it's rolled bad. Of course not having any curve whatsoever in that big flat angle rear panel will exagerate any flaws. Personally, I can't stand the crap in my kitchen, fingerprints all over the place if you don't wipe them down regularly. What in the hell was so bad about plain old white. It sure hides dirt better than any color.
Had one pull up in front of a hotel while I was waiting for a ride last weekend. Lots of comments, all ranging from "F'in Ugly", to "Really F'in Ugly, to (because it's Boston) "WICKED F'in Ugly". Oh, and one said "Oooh he got the PS2 package", which I didn't understand but by the way her friends laughed I interpreted to be insulting. And yes, it was full of fingerprints too.

PS2, because of the low polygon count of models in the PlayStation 2 era compared to more recent consoles, I assume.

In other words, Musk is screwing over his employees because moving to Texas will lower his taxes. Playing culture war games is a distraction.

Texas does have a lower cost of living than either Hawthorne or San Francisco. However the weather is a completely different story.

Musk is moving his companies out of California because the state isn’t requiring schools to out trans kids to bigoted parents.

Final straw is "this law and many others"... I mean that would straws right? Plural?
Like the 1 billion straws that broke the camels back? - it just doesnt work.

For a mad logician like Elmo this surely constitutes cognitive decline.

Apparently more vapourware from Musk, he says he helped start the SuperPAC but he's not committing to giving the $45M/month.


Not giving Trump a crapload of money every month still doesn't keep him from being one of the world's biggest douche nozzles though.

He calls his kid "Dead to him" because his kid is trans.


He's a shit dad, but considering his dad slept with, had a child with, and then married Elon's stepsister, it's not like he had good role models.
(So, does that mean his stepsister is also his stepmom? God talk about YouPorn plot craziness.)

He’s not just a shit dad, he’s a grade A narcissist. Turning that situation into him being the victim due to the “woke mind virus” is just alt-reality rationalization with a helping of psychopathy

Their quarterly profits were down 45% from last year, and half their profits were from selling emissions credits, not cars. They still insist they are a vaporware, I mean, AI self-driving company, that will blow up.

He's just saying she is "dead to him" because he's a monumentally large asshole and she told him to fuck off and never speak to her again. He's not built to handle that kind of rejection that he can never resolve. He's stuck in a degenerative loop.

I liked it better when he was hyper fixated on going to Mars instead of hyper fixated on lashing out at LGBTQ family members in the most public and destructive way possible.

All such terminal narcissists eventually self destruct. The only difference is the size of the explosion.

Same here, because at least with Mars he might actually try to go there.
