The thread title is spot on. However, Elon Musk has proved himself to be an idiot time and time again. |

If being that kind of idiot would bring me that much wealth, I'd have to seriously consider it ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I hope california reject this according to their rule.

Whatever credibility he once had is now gone for me.
Most of his stunts were clever marketing, e.g. smoking that joint during an interview, or putting a car into orbit.
But giving your child a name that it isn't even suitable for an inanimate object, it's just cruel.
Reminds me of the hippy camp I stayed at in India when I was travelling. The Israeli couple who ran the place had two kids, who they chose to not educate at all because they believed children (and humans generally) learn best when they can choose what to learn for themselves. It's sort of true, but there are certain things that are fundamental, like reading and writing. Their 10 year old daughter couldn't read a word, and is by now going to be a teenager vastly lacking in the most basic skills that form the pillars of human civilisation. It's this utter naivety toward raising your own children in an advanced, varied and highly complex world without even being able to fucking read words written by other humans, the mind boggles. How can anyone do that? And so I feel the same about Elon Musk, giving his child a name that not a single other human in the entire arsenal of human linguistics will be able to rationally understand. What a cunt of a man for doing that to his own child. I guess she child will adopt a better name for itself pretty sharpish, but the fact that he did that at all, the mind just boggles. |

He says it is pronounced ex ash - says his missus chose that bit. He chose the A12 bit, apparently named after the precursor to the Lockheed SR71. Maybe he's looking forward to data-transferring it to people when everyone has Neuralink (version 10) installed, when we'll no longer use the spoken word to communicate, by which time we'll all be living on Mars.
I don't think I want any part of Elon's vision of the future. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

New one released today. I don't recommend it. Joe doesn't know what to ask him, often doesn't understand Musk's answers, and Musk is hard work to listen to anyway. No wonder he wants a way to circumvent speech.
I think we need normal people to map a way forward, and people like Musk to make it happen, rather than the Musks of this world deciding where to go. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I'm well on the way already, with an assortment of infuriating gifs, photos and emojis.
Unless I were on the pull, in which case it would be counterproductive.
I was mostly ignoring the babyname thing, because it is just TOO ridiculous, and there are prehistoric versions of this from the 1970s and probably earlier ("Chastity" Bono springs to mind, along with Moon Unit and Dweezel Zappa, and Zowie Bowie).
But I think I need to look at some Musk videos and pay more attention to just what sort of weirdo he really is.
I need to be more aware of him (wary?) - he appears to be pretty influential in the modern world, always a worrying thing. I've shamefully let his endeavours slip out of my grasp: my knowledge of him only really got as far as the Tesla car guy and the rocket guy which all seemed a bit fanciful at first ... but now I think I need to get up to speed with his latest shenanigans.
Its okay, you lot I'm sure I can manage to find them on my own. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
