Look at this development from a legal standpoint.

RIP, mon capitan

It finally hit me why this whole thing erks me. This whole presentation is just a "Jumping the shark" moment. Jumping the Tesla, and everyone fell for it.

Yeah, but they're so much in your face about it. 😄 Divers will understand the joke 😉

Life found a way.

Parrotfish should not be fished, they are the natural predators of a starfish called crown of Thorns. Crown of thorns eat life Coral. Without their natural predator they grow out of control. In the Coral Triangle it's not uncommon for entire areas of Coral to be eaten away by Crown of thorns. Completely destroying the ecosystem. When we as diving professionals see an outburst of crown of thorns, we start a removal operation. There is a special method for this, you can't pick them up for removal, when you pick them up they will panic and release thousands of eggs, making the problem worse over time. We inject them with vinegar or sodium bisulfate so they die out from the inside. Coral Ecosystems are really delicate, mess with them and they go out of whack.

Still she made a difference.... Mascott or not. And again don't confuse creating change for leadership, You don't have to be a leader to affect change. This whole, you have to be a leader for change is a red/blue/orange thing. After some research, the incident was real, the photograph was staged after.

You don't have to be a world leader to change the world. Rosa Parks comes up top of my mind, there are countless others whose actions start movements. Every avalanche begins with the movement of a snowflake, and my hope is to move a snowflake. - Thomas Frey

Exactly and every James Bond villain wants to rule the world, with Musk it's through tech.

It's the same dilemma as Kanye or Michael Jackson, Genius in one area, but doing total damage in another. Where is the line? DOGE recked a lot of lives, should Musk be excused because he builds "cool" tech? Tier 1 can't handle this dilemma, and picks one side or another. I think the definition of cool is different from person to person. The stuff in the presentation is totally pointless therefor uncool for me. If it would solve a real world problem it would be cool. The SD Orange "just doing it because you can", does not fly for me, does not make it cool.

I'm not sure, to be honest. Why should he still care about cars. He has proven already that his vision is much bigger. Cars are just a way to influence people for him. Do I have proof, not directly, but there is so much other proven stuff of him about influencing US and world politics, that cars are just small potatoes for him.

And then it still take weeks of preparation for a press event. A press event like this takes time to set-up Musk cannot snap his fingers and have a press-event like this tomorrow. Takes at least a month of prep. Exactly the product only half-works, the rest of his product rests on promises that tend out not to be true or highly exaggerated. This is just tech-bro porn that Musk is selling. All filler, no substance. --- Before I was indifferent about Musk, I could see the things he launched were a way to move tech forward. But benefit of the doubt is gone, it's remarkable to see how people still defend something even after trust is broken so many times. Trust must be earned back again. This works the same for Musk, Tech-oligarchs, governments etc. You can't break trust, time and time again and still demand people trust you. If you want us to trust you again, prove it. Until anything you say can't be trusted.

It's not about the launching itself. It's the timing. Not claiming anything about designing a car just specially for midterms. With launching it's all about timing. Especially something that is not ready yet. Everything in corporate world is timed by marketing and strategists. Musk does not car about common folk, that is true. But he still cares about politics because it influences his business.

Tesla: timeline of misleading claims * 2013 — Hyperloop: Promoted ultra-high-speed tube transport reaching 760 mph; no commercial passenger system materialised. * 2016 — Solar Roof: Showcased as a near-term product before large-scale production was achievable. * 2016 — Full Self-Driving: Claimed hardware would enable full autonomy, despite later hardware upgrades and continued reliance on driver supervision. * 2017 — Roadster 2: Promised for 2020; repeatedly delayed for years. * 2017 — Tesla Semi: Promised for 2019; deliveries began in 2022, with mass production delayed. * 2017 onwards — Boring Company Loop: Promoted as high-speed, high-capacity transport; Las Vegas instead uses human-driven Teslas in narrow tunnels. * 2019 — Cybertruck: Advertised at $39,900 with a 500-mile range; the original price and specifications did not materialise as promised. * 2019 — Robotaxis: Musk predicted over one million robotaxis by 2020; the promised fleet never materialised. * 2020 onwards — Full Self-Driving: Repeated predictions of imminent unsupervised driving failed to materialise. * October 2024 — Optimus robot: Human teleoperation or assistance was involved in many interactions, creating a misleading impression of autonomous capability. * 2024 — Cybercab: Presented as a purpose-built autonomous taxi; the promise of scalable, driverless commercial operation remains unfulfilled.

Already announced in 2017 with a release in 2019. Never did happen. Designing does not equal launching.

But look at the bigger picture, everyone is talking about it now. If it's true, legal for real life, possible applications, bla bla bla All misdirection, getting attention away from the damaging documentary and his influence on the midterms.

He has a track record with his fake presentations, remember his full self AI robot last year. Was exposed later that people were remote controlling it. It is funny to me people falling in the same trick over and over again. The video is probably a light weight shell car not weighing more then 100kg. The way the car launches the momentum for the considered mass of a real car is not right.

Yeah Musk has a great track record of not lying. How convient that it coincides with the release of the Musk documentary. Trying to direct attention away from it. Also close to midterms which he is investing money in. Don't be a brainless monkey people, it's misdirection and lies.

Don't forget your arm and your leg.

Thanks buddy

@Joshe Louis is a pitbull when it comes to this matter, which has it's benefits, but he doesn't know when to back down. Not for his own sake, but for the cause he's fighting for. I think he is a good asset to have, but if he's not careful his approach can backfire. Like stage Green sometimes can do.

History repeating itself with IBM PC copying in the early 1980's. Before there was no standard in the PC industry, hundreds of different architectures, totally incompatible with each other. It was difficult to copy an architecture because the chips were proprietary. The IBM used standard of the shelf parts. The only things that could not be copied was the BIOS because that fell under copyright laws. Many manufactures were sued and bankrupter because they copied the IBM BIOS code. I believe it was Compaq who successfully reverse engineered the BIOS without copying the data. Copy the functionality not the data. That lay the ground work for the growth of PC-compatibles and the foundation of widespread MS-DOS, which later turned into Windows. Without Compaq there would haven been no platform for the PC (Personal Computer) revolution to take place. Warning Nerdy stuff, haha Maybe opening up these industries is not a bad thing and will lead to complete new platforms of software development. It's not as black and white as stealing/copying/spying whatever you want to call it. My personal quote: If the system is against human kind, use the system to change the system.
