A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes I agree

But if we get enough people to label it as a failure instead of a secret success maybe elon's ego will prevent him from doing it again in the future. The more failures the public can lay at his feet also means less political pressure to allow him to get away with shit like that.

So far twitter and hyperloop have been major disasters. Neurolink is probably just a matter of time. Maybe even starlink as it's way too expensive for most casual uses at the moment, will depend on the price coming down.

Tesla build quality may come up to bit them in the ass in the long run too.

I do hope spaceX survives his blundering though.

I find it much more insulting that he took a whole nation for fools

Edit: but fortunately you're right about all his failing projects.
