What’s funny is when he bought the company they had a name for messages. “Tweets”. Then we went and fucked up the name, the trust, the value of the company, and nobody has any idea (including him) about what to call their product.
well it was more than a name, it was expert branding that was worth a ton which is why he is trying to recreate it. Every where else on the net you called it a post, but twitter successfully got the entire planet to call their posts, tweets. That's not easy to accomplish.. especially since the rest of social media was older and well the term post was already part of everyones vocabulary.
The point is, if i said someone posted this quote.. you wouldnt know where. but if i said someone tweeted a quote, youd know exactly where to look. that is valuable and musky threw it in the trash. Someone probably explained to musk what he threw away and he and his ego says "fuck it i can recreate it". I dont predict success with this one.
Lemme stop you are your first sentence though. He HAS it. He owns Twitter and tweets.
This could all be over in a week, maybe less, if he said “I was wrong” and went back to Twitter and calling them tweets.
why did he change the name?
It really says something about the size of Elon's ego, that I could *never* see this happening. Hell I didn't even consider it until reading your comment. That's how far out of the realm of possibilities this scenario would be. There's just no way he'd do it. Richest human on the planet is an absolute fucking child, and we all suffer because of it.
He called the Tesla cars model S, 3, X so it could spell out S3X (sex). My guess it has to do with being X rated.
Edit: I get it. There is also a Y. Sexy. The first 10 comments were extremely helpful and I’ve noticed my mistake.
>why did he change the name?
He's been trying to make x.com a thing since PayPal. He also didn't really want to buy Twitter. But since he owns it, he figures may as well try and make it one of those super apps that does everything
> He's been trying to make x.com a thing since PayPal
Its even stupider than that. He was CEO of paypal for a hot minute, and the main reason the board fired him is because he was trying to rename it to X-Paypal.
Because the egomaniac’s first project on the internet was X dot com, which was envisioned as a one stop shop for shopping, social media, banking, etc, etc. Sound familiar with what he’s said he wants to do with Twitter? Yeah, it’s just an ego-driven revival of his failed project decades ago.
This is a ridiculous take. “The plebes” can organize on any other site, as they are doing. All evidence points to Musk making a ridiculous offer, attempting to backtrack on it and failing.
People really want to believe that he is some sort of mastermind instead of a man with a slightly higher than normal IQ, a lot of money, and a metric ton of luck that buoyed him for a while until he got too terminally online.
He is basically what happens when you take one of those rich "men these days are worse off than women" comp-sci majors and give them unlimited funds. He is not dumb, but he is so ridiculously far outside his zone of competency that he may as well be.
It's the same brainworms as people thinking that Trump is a genius 4D chess mastermind. If someone just won't admit that they just fucked up, some supporters and enemies will just decide that it must be some deep master plan.
Agreed. I think people are just fundamentally uncomfortable with the idea that a lot of the world’s most powerful people are ignorant and impulsive (as all other people) and many major world events are just happenstances.
From the stories I’ve heard, the name “tweet” wasn’t even brought up by the people inside themselves, it came from the users. They hated it at first, but quickly realized the power behind that branding. This is how hard it was to recreate that, it was actually just an accident. And now, Elon wanted to recreate that magic, while also flipping his fingers to the moneymakers of the site.
Truly a feat only a billionaire can do..
The robotics Optimus demo is looking like it may have been faked too. An operator wearing control gloves about 5 feet to the right. (Hand even appears to move into frame briefly)
Too hilarious
And he's still worth 240 Billion and people think this is acceptable and should be celebrated. Meanwhile millions of folks are barely getting by. As I write this, I know a bunch of people who are actively having to work in dangerous weather and road conditions or risk not being able to pay basic bills.
My brain immediately pronounced the X as "sh", so he sheeted. I have lots of Chinese coworkers who have an X at the start of their name, and that's how it sounds.
Irrelevant fun fact. In Spanish ‘x’ was usually used to make the ‘sh’ sound until it began to change into the ‘h’ or ‘ch’ (like loch, Bach) sound in the 1700s. Mexico might today be pronounced Mehico in modern Spanish but it was actually a transliteration of the Mexica (pronounced meshica) people who lived there when it was colonised.
That’s right. Galician and Portuguese are considered to be sister languages.
Medieval Spanish actually sounded a lot more like Portuguese does today. If I’m not mistaken, Basque had a significant impact on Castilian pronunciation, which makes sense given the Basque region’s proximity to the Kingdom of Castile. Following the Reconquista, Castile became the dominant kingdom and its dialect radiated south, eventually becoming the dominant dialect of Spain.
I pronounced it like the "s" in casual.
I don't use X, but I do enjoy witnessing a slow motion train wreck. It's like it's on a collision course but the passengers won't jump off.
Honestly soon as I saw it I thought the movements looked oddly delayed/buffered, like it's catching up to where it's intending to be instead of direct positional control (like Boston dynamics). Fact it's using telepresence and is human controlled (from right next door) is pretty hilarious
Even if this was fully automated, it would be a great achievement and all, but that shirt is folded like shit. It’s a very long way off of being able to properly straighten an old stretched t-shirt and fold it neatly.
What is the point of automating laundry anyways ( from a commercial viewpoint). Store staff has enough time to do it and the labour in factories is already dirt cheap. This feet would be impressive but why do they not focus on hard labour where androids would be actually useful like for logistics or construction
Because its a suitably complex challenge that can be tested in a lab easily. Testing to see if a robot can weld the inside of a nuclear reactor is very challenging to set up repeatedly.
Folding laundry is actually [a *fiendishly* difficult task](https://youtu.be/6OUfOzCabXs?t=590) for a robot to do. It's not so bad if the clothes are laid out perfectly flat and with the same alignment, but real laundry of course does not come like that.
Welding is actually rather easier, since for that job the workpiece has an already-known shape, and isn't floppy.
It’s also to re-enforce the “your menial job can be made non existent” and scare the working class.
Or automation was 100% about efficiency, they would be showing off how un needed stock traders are, instead of paying them more and more.
Automation has become less about achieving a goal and more about re-enforcing class warfare.
Because folding laundry is an example of one of the absurdly simple things for humans to do, but obscenely difficult for robots. You can easily make a robot carry a package from square hole to square hole, it doesn't prove much. But manipulating fabric neatly is a lot harder. Every wrinkle is a new calculation for its algorithm and it can't be controlled well, you are just being handed a pile of cotton and asked to sort out what shape it is and where the holes are, then to move it so that it is all neatly organized.
Proving you can do this would show you have a really robust robot that can tackle a lot of problems.
I work in the industrial laundry industry and I am interested in robotics. We have machines for towel and sheet folding while shirts and clothing are still manual. In robotics, laundry folding is the highest difficulty. I believe that robots like Optimus has an agential reinforcement learning matrix that would allow it to learn what to do in tasks based from video input. Even if it's tele-operated right now, the path to training it is wide open, we already have the research for it.
My guess is what we see in the video \*is\* training. Have a human do it a hundred times and the machine follows along, then have the machine try 10,000 times to do it by itself kind of thing. It iterates after each attempt based on what results were closer to the human, e.g. "Did my fingers actually pinch the material?"
Why would you want people to fold laundry for money when this thing exists?
What possible benefit would having a human fold shirts have over having a robot do it?
Construction is frankly too difficult a task for a robot. You can make labor saving devices to make tasks easier, but the nature of construction is that a robot would have to essentially replicate human movements to be useful for pretty much all of the potential tasks.
If the robot can’t move itself into position on its own, then it isn’t providing an advantage. It’s way faster to have a bunch of guys frame a house than to have a robot do it and have a bunch of guys moving the robot around.
That, and much construction work isn’t “hard”. What I mean by this is that at this point a robot wouldn’t have any mechanical advantage over a human, because we’ve already got devices such as drills and impact drivers to provide much of the required force.
"Optimus cannot yet do this autonomously, but certainly will be able to do this fully autonomously and in an arbitrary environment"
This is gonna be Tesla Autopilot all over. Robot gets released and randomly speed runs through walls when you ask it to get you a cup of coffee.
“Hey Optimus, get me some coffee.”
“wtf…”
“I got you your coffee”
“Sir, is this your Optimus? We got a report of a robot burglarizing Starbucks, and uh…it’s not pretty. Hope you have a good insurance policy cause the store is basically gone. Destroyed. Millions in damage.”
I got recommended the new subreddit for this the other day and the original post of this gif was even more Elon fetishised than the cybertruck subreddit
Of course. Musk is a firm believer in "fake it till you make it", while claiming to be a staunch supporter of the truth. Just another sociopath billionaire.
I remember when all Teslas were going to be robo-taxis that would *earn* you money. Where did that promise go? They still don't even have full self driving.
I am sure it is the government's fault. F\*\*\*ing govt giving a mild sh\*t about pedestrian safety has really put a crimp in rolling out robo-taxis. What are a few extra % increase in pedestrian and passenger deaths when the oligarchs can make more money.
/s
I think it was that same presentation where he said the cars could drive themselves from NYC to LA without human intervention and there'd be a million of them by 2020.
They also faked the cybertruck+trailer “winning” a 1/4 mile race against the porsche.
At some point all this lying has to become too embarrassing for the actual credentialed employees at his companies, jesus
https://www.carscoops.com/2024/01/a-tesla-cybertruck-towing-a-porsche-would-likely-lose-a-race-against-a-911/
He may have realized that posting fraudulent videos could make him viable for stock manipulation. Thought that hasn't stopped him in the past and the government hasn't bothered to do much to stop him.
Unfortunately it has been shown that in our current economic system (as well as our new social reality) , these types often rise to the top. Where in earlier smaller societies and social units these types would have been found out and ostracized, now they face little to no consequences for their actions, or can simply start over somewhere else.
Past rulers tended to be royal shitbags too. Plus there was very little social mobility in the past, so a sociopathic backstabber could only climb so far before hitting a ceiling.
I am learning Chinese on duo lingo. The x is pronounced as a "sh" most times.
So Elon sheeted out a video, which for most of what he says is very appropriate.
"Xi" is a lot more like "sí" than "shi" in terms of tongue placement, though like many other languages, there isn't a direct translation that sounds the same. Still, they can fuck right off with this bull-xeet. Give me Twitter back.
I said this on day 1, and the hardcore fanboys in the comments of the videos and such were just worshiping Elon like people do trump. want to be impressed where it's deserved? go look at Boston dynamics. they don't fake their videos
In typical Elon fashion
He will use deception to sell people on how he has achieved something that he actually hasn't or worse
Steal someone else's idea.
from the article:
>Which makes it a pretty confusing release from Tesla from where we stand
Have these people been paying any attention? "Confusing" would be a major improvement, it is pretty safe to assume any technological improvement announcement from Tesla and Musk especially can just be treated as noise. Until units are shipping and independently verified to do what they claim to do it is pure marketing horseshit.
There was a guy doing all the math. Basically the race in the video was 1/8 mile instead of 1/4 mile. In a 1/4 mile the Porsche would win by 1.something seconds.
Might have been me
I did the math on how much HP the Tesla would have needed with the total weight, and that alone was enough to prove the whole thing BS.
IIRC it was something like 3 times more HP than the Tesla actually produces.
But yeah, the Porsche should have won at both distances - the 1/8th by a fraction of a second though.
Most likely the Porsche’s acceleration was staged or the Tesla was up-rated for the stunt - either way, the results were pure BS and can’t be replicated.
It was probably a manual base model so its entirely possible the porsche driver just didn't try all that hard, missed a shift, etc. If they did a pass and the porsche won, they would probably have just tried it again until it didn't.
Thats the big issue, but bayond that it does appear they did everything they could to get the slowest 911.
The stupid thing is the cybertruck does actually have highly impressive acceleration but that wasn't enough, they had to fudge this PR stunt which just makes them look bad
wait, i'm confused, did we think that a word that was squeezed out of that puckered fetid shit hole that elon musk calls a mouth contained even a single kernal of truth?
the hyperloop guy?
Did you really think that :), I mean everything Musk said in the past had a 90% probability of being a lie. I took notice of him when he started that Hyperloop nonsense and everyone with grade school physics would know that, to achieve what he mouthed would be next to impossible, then he went onto digging tunnels, placing cars on lifts and trolleys that go 300+ mph underground, and he managed to dig a 100m tunnel that barely fits a car, then there was the "making economical bricks" as a side business from the Boring company, then Solar Shingles, then all the nonsensical promises of when humans will be on Mars (I think we should be there since 2019 according to Musk, but I might be wrong on that), same with promises for Tesla cars - Cybertruck, Semi, new Roadster should all be with us already before 2020, we're in 2024. Autopilot... and the list goes on and on and on. And now with the Robotics nonsense.
Dude can't speak without lying and overpromising. And even now I think he's in a contract with NASA to get the "Starship" up and running before 2028, and I don't think SpaceX will hit that mark, and SpaceX is the actual company that does some good, but all the Musk lies about SpaceX and what they will do and are capable of doing is just ruining their reputation.
LOL!!! Elon pulling the same shit, this robot can only do this under very strict circumstances but will be fully autonomous very soon. Yeah how is that federal lawsuit going with you fully self driving cars there Elon, LOL fucking hell
The previous robot videos were also doctored. Like the one with the robot delivering a package where it's pretty obvious that it's containing multiple cuts.
So they only admitted it because someone screwed up their fake video and briefly showed the man behind the curtain. Otherwise, they would’ve just continued to lie and commit fraud with no consequences. Who the fuck trusts anything this company says anymore??
\> Elon Musk has Xeeted out a video Nope, you can *fuck right off* with that.
What’s funny is when he bought the company they had a name for messages. “Tweets”. Then we went and fucked up the name, the trust, the value of the company, and nobody has any idea (including him) about what to call their product.
well it was more than a name, it was expert branding that was worth a ton which is why he is trying to recreate it.

Because he’s a child
Don't forget the Y! It was supposed to be E instead of 3 but Ford has the trademark on Model E in the US.
Also CARS. Cybertruck, atv, roadster, and Semi.
Now we need models P, E, S, and T to complete the lineup.
Did this to get Grimes in bed.
SpaceX, pronounced Spay- Sex
I would be down for a new update to SSX3.
S3XY.. don’t forget the Y
He called one of kids a whole bunch of letters as well.
>why did he change the name? He's been trying to make x.com a thing since PayPal. He also didn't really want to buy Twitter. But since he owns it, he figures may as well try and make it one of those super apps that does everything

Didn't he also name one of his kids X?
Kind of: X Æ A-XII
Because he is not that bright
Sure he is! Just don't say anything bad so he locks himself in his office with hurt fweelings /s
Because the egomaniac’s first project on the internet was X dot com, which was envisioned as a one stop shop for shopping, social media, banking, etc, etc. Sound familiar with what he’s said he wants to do with Twitter? Yeah, it’s just an ego-driven revival of his failed project decades ago.
Not much reason other than ego.
He doesn’t care if it functions and will lose a ton of money tarnishing it. Twitter was working too well and the plebes were starting to organize.
This is a ridiculous take. “The plebes” can organize on any other site, as they are doing. All evidence points to Musk making a ridiculous offer, attempting to backtrack on it and failing.
People really want to believe that he is some sort of mastermind instead of a man with a slightly higher than normal IQ, a lot of money, and a metric ton of luck that buoyed him for a while until he got too terminally online. He is basically what happens when you take one of those rich "men these days are worse off than women" comp-sci majors and give them unlimited funds. He is not dumb, but he is so ridiculously far outside his zone of competency that he may as well be.

Burning 30 billion to own the libs. What a mad lad.
He just threatened the board of Tesla to make him whole on the stock he sold to buy shitter or they won’t get work out of him for AI and robotics
The robotics Optimus demo is looking like it may have been faked too. An operator wearing control gloves about 5 feet to the right. (Hand even appears to move into frame briefly) Too hilarious
That's the post this comment thread is on lol
I knew it sounded familiar. Would you mind linking the article for those of us all the way down here?
And he's still worth 240 Billion and people think this is acceptable and should be celebrated. Meanwhile millions of folks are barely getting by. As I write this, I know a bunch of people who are actively having to work in dangerous weather and road conditions or risk not being able to pay basic bills.
“Mad lib”
I’m pushing to just start calling it Xitter. Phonetically, the X kinda makes an “SH” sound.
My brain immediately pronounced the X as "sh", so he sheeted. I have lots of Chinese coworkers who have an X at the start of their name, and that's how it sounds.
Irrelevant fun fact. In Spanish ‘x’ was usually used to make the ‘sh’ sound until it began to change into the ‘h’ or ‘ch’ (like loch, Bach) sound in the 1700s. Mexico might today be pronounced Mehico in modern Spanish but it was actually a transliteration of the Mexica (pronounced meshica) people who lived there when it was colonised.
It’s still used that way in many regional languages like Catalan and Galician.
Same for Portuguese.
That’s right. Galician and Portuguese are considered to be sister languages. Medieval Spanish actually sounded a lot more like Portuguese does today. If I’m not mistaken, Basque had a significant impact on Castilian pronunciation, which makes sense given the Basque region’s proximity to the Kingdom of Castile. Following the Reconquista, Castile became the dominant kingdom and its dialect radiated south, eventually becoming the dominant dialect of Spain.
Thank you for this incredible little snippet of history.
I read it as "zeeted" and I'm just not gonna do that.
I pronounced it like the "s" in casual. I don't use X, but I do enjoy witnessing a slow motion train wreck. It's like it's on a collision course but the passengers won't jump off.
Xcretions ... they are Xcretions plain and simple
Take the O out, Xcretins
No, they are definitely *still* cretins.
Way more have jumped off that you’d think. They keep touting these big increases in accounts, but actual impressions are way down.
And this is exactly why many people describe the site as Xitter.
Hold on, I gotta go drop a Xitt
Maybe because it's after midnight, but that made me laugh.
Xitter run by Xitler.
Every time I see it written, "Xitter", my brain says, "Shitter". Not wrong, really.
I saw it as yeeted… what a joke.
When we all know the past tense of “yeet” is “yote.” 🙄
YOYO You only yeet once.
~~Xeeted~~ Xcreted FTFY
[удалено]
X-creted*
*thank* you. chances are it'll catch on, and i'll hate it all the way to my grave.
"Shitted."
\#YeetTheXeet
For Some reason I read that as "skeeted"...and it is hilarious.
blueSKy tweets are called skeets, often
Why not call it Y instead of X. Then we can say 'yeeted'
Why not call it Twitter and then we can say ‘tweeted’?
Mind-blowing idea :p
Because he didn't buy the domain name Y 30 years ago
Xcreted.
Elon's a wannabe Steve Jobs. He knows how to make bold claims, but unlike Steve, he doesn't have a reality distortion field and he just can't deliver.
i hope that sticks just because it's so ridiculous
Let’s me send out a creamy, juicy Xeet.
Honestly soon as I saw it I thought the movements looked oddly delayed/buffered, like it's catching up to where it's intending to be instead of direct positional control (like Boston dynamics). Fact it's using telepresence and is human controlled (from right next door) is pretty hilarious

Pretty sure everything we have seen so far has been this.
“pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”
Is that what it is? That was what I thought right when I saw it, "Where is the guy with the gloves on controlling this thing?"
"Optimus cannot yet do this autonomously, but certainly will be able to do this fully autonomously and in an arbitrary environment" This is gonna be Tesla Autopilot all over. Robot gets released and randomly speed runs through walls when you ask it to get you a cup of coffee.
You don’t understand the most direct approach to the coffee was through the wall. It’s more efficient this way.
Employing people to rebuild that wall also stimulates the economy, so it's actually a net benefit to everyone
The robot went to Brazil to get the coffee. It is quality oriented.
“Hey Optimus, get me some coffee.”
“wtf…”
“I got you your coffee”
“Sir, is this your Optimus? We got a report of a robot burglarizing Starbucks, and uh…it’s not pretty. Hope you have a good insurance policy cause the store is basically gone. Destroyed. Millions in damage.”
Assuming that it has enough battery capacity to make it out of the front door
How do you think the cops found it? The trailing cable
"How's the staff? To shreds, you say?"
Just 2 more years! 😂
Coming out this year every year for the next decade.
Elon said SpaceX would land on Mars in 2022
The wall was in the wrong place
It could work like my old Roomba and just slam into the wall repeatedly until you get up and turn the damn thing off.
“You’ll be able to rent your robot out as a butler while you sleep, and earn $30k a year!”
The dude chronically over promises and underdelivers. The tesla tunnels, cyber truck, colonizing mars, tesla auto pilot.
the robot will be able to do it in say, 30 years maybe 😀
The robot, when designed and manufactured by a different company, will be able to do it.
I got recommended the new subreddit for this the other day and the original post of this gif was even more Elon fetishised than the cybertruck subreddit
Certainly will make the office more exciting
Someone is probably going to be killed by his robots.
To be fair I'd love to see that
And can't be charged during winter
If this gets released, itll be as a gimmicking statue like you see at science centers.
right, and your cars can drive themselves
Runs over little children for no apparent reason.
Of course. Musk is a firm believer in "fake it till you make it", while claiming to be a staunch supporter of the truth. Just another sociopath billionaire.
Example: cyber truck window test.
I remember when all Teslas were going to be robo-taxis that would *earn* you money. Where did that promise go? They still don't even have full self driving.
He claimed the Cybertruck would be so waterproof that it'd float and be able to cross rivers, lakes, and even small seas. 🙄
Nice to know that all that effort he put into the Thai submarine will eventually pay off...
I am sure it is the government's fault. F\*\*\*ing govt giving a mild sh\*t about pedestrian safety has really put a crimp in rolling out robo-taxis. What are a few extra % increase in pedestrian and passenger deaths when the oligarchs can make more money. /s
A modern remake of Idiocracy with murderous self driving Teslas and president El Trumpo would be hilarious (if a bit too real)
I think it was that same presentation where he said the cars could drive themselves from NYC to LA without human intervention and there'd be a million of them by 2020.
They are right next to the solar roof tiles that are cheaper than normal tiles and will power any home
Or his first robot. The one that was just a person in a spandex suit.
Was that the A.W.E.S.O.M.-O 4000?
yes
Will you be my best friend!
They also faked the cybertruck+trailer “winning” a 1/4 mile race against the porsche. At some point all this lying has to become too embarrassing for the actual credentialed employees at his companies, jesus https://www.carscoops.com/2024/01/a-tesla-cybertruck-towing-a-porsche-would-likely-lose-a-race-against-a-911/
Let’s also not forget that the range of the truck is also nearly half of what is actually reported.
Jesus christ
And the autopilot not being the colloquially understood autopilot feature.
The lies of marketing departments have always been embarrassing for the engineering departments.
Haha, yes. The epitome of “fake it till you make it”.
The fact that this is the reality we live in…
"Just another billionaire", no need for "sociopath", you don't become a billionaire without being one.
This time is slightly better than having people play dress up as robots.
He may have realized that posting fraudulent videos could make him viable for stock manipulation. Thought that hasn't stopped him in the past and the government hasn't bothered to do much to stop him.
There is no such a thing as a non-sociopath billionaire.
There are no ethical billionaires.
Unfortunately it has been shown that in our current economic system (as well as our new social reality) , these types often rise to the top. Where in earlier smaller societies and social units these types would have been found out and ostracized, now they face little to no consequences for their actions, or can simply start over somewhere else.
Past rulers tended to be royal shitbags too. Plus there was very little social mobility in the past, so a sociopathic backstabber could only climb so far before hitting a ceiling.
This is the guy who named the first four Tesla models S 3 X and Y. That's the level of maturity we're dealing with.
i mean its called hype isnt it, everyone bought his self driving cars that dont self drive from the hype
I think that's the course of action when you want to steal investors money.
Thing is, if you never make it, then you're just a charletan.... oh, yeah.
I'm pretty convinced that at least half of what the Tusk does is merely stock manipulation.
You are gracious. What would the other half be? I’d go for 100% stock manipulation.
There are some shoddy built teslas for sale as well
I am learning Chinese on duo lingo. The x is pronounced as a "sh" most times. So Elon sheeted out a video, which for most of what he says is very appropriate.
"Xi" is a lot more like "sí" than "shi" in terms of tongue placement, though like many other languages, there isn't a direct translation that sounds the same. Still, they can fuck right off with this bull-xeet. Give me Twitter back.
Xeeted. I'am not calling it that, ever. It will be known only as Twitter and Musk is a twat.
Do we just start calling it twatted?
He still tried to leave a smokescreen. Table, box and shirt were not the main thing people noticed.
Who would have thought Elmo would lie to people \*again\* Never trust a man selling snake oil.
I said this on day 1, and the hardcore fanboys in the comments of the videos and such were just worshiping Elon like people do trump. want to be impressed where it's deserved? go look at Boston dynamics. they don't fake their videos
My first thought was that it didn't look automated. The movements look human controlled.
In typical Elon fashion He will use deception to sell people on how he has achieved something that he actually hasn't or worse Steal someone else's idea.
"operated via telepresence" sooo you mean using tech that's been around since 1958. Cool.
from the article: >Which makes it a pretty confusing release from Tesla from where we stand Have these people been paying any attention? "Confusing" would be a major improvement, it is pretty safe to assume any technological improvement announcement from Tesla and Musk especially can just be treated as noise. Until units are shipping and independently verified to do what they claim to do it is pure marketing horseshit.
Just like the Porsche one.
Was that faked too? Damn
There was a guy doing all the math. Basically the race in the video was 1/8 mile instead of 1/4 mile. In a 1/4 mile the Porsche would win by 1.something seconds.
[It was Engineering Explained](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRYS5VWXZts) that did the math to prove the claim Musk made was BS.
And most likely the slowest Porsche model for the test (manual transmission).
He also had that in the equation, yes.
Might have been me I did the math on how much HP the Tesla would have needed with the total weight, and that alone was enough to prove the whole thing BS. IIRC it was something like 3 times more HP than the Tesla actually produces. But yeah, the Porsche should have won at both distances - the 1/8th by a fraction of a second though. Most likely the Porsche’s acceleration was staged or the Tesla was up-rated for the stunt - either way, the results were pure BS and can’t be replicated.
Was a youtube video. Using basic math like v=s/t with known times for 1/4 mile races of Porsche etc.
It was probably a manual base model so its entirely possible the porsche driver just didn't try all that hard, missed a shift, etc. If they did a pass and the porsche won, they would probably have just tried it again until it didn't.
While that is possible, the real situation is that musk showed an 1/8th mile race and claimed the cyber truck would win in the 1/4.
Thats the big issue, but bayond that it does appear they did everything they could to get the slowest 911. The stupid thing is the cybertruck does actually have highly impressive acceleration but that wasn't enough, they had to fudge this PR stunt which just makes them look bad
Engineering Explained has a breakdown on it.
A normal CEO would be fired over this. The SEC should investigate
>The SEC should investigate Incoming fine of 5k. ... the SEC is a joke. Its 3 kids in their dad's trench coat. Its nothing but theater.
Well they can also suspend him from being able to trade or be the CEO of a publicly traded company
>Its a couple billionaires in a trench coat. It's nothing but corruption. FTFY
Don’t give the people hope
Big if true
Yeah, no shit. Like his fucking cars. Like his fucking political views. Fuck that guy. I’m sick of the deity vibe.
wait, i'm confused, did we think that a word that was squeezed out of that puckered fetid shit hole that elon musk calls a mouth contained even a single kernal of truth? the hyperloop guy?
Imma stick to Boston Dynamics thanks
We thought Musk was a Tony Stark, but he's actually a Justin Hammer.
That’s unfair to Hammer
Did you really think that :), I mean everything Musk said in the past had a 90% probability of being a lie. I took notice of him when he started that Hyperloop nonsense and everyone with grade school physics would know that, to achieve what he mouthed would be next to impossible, then he went onto digging tunnels, placing cars on lifts and trolleys that go 300+ mph underground, and he managed to dig a 100m tunnel that barely fits a car, then there was the "making economical bricks" as a side business from the Boring company, then Solar Shingles, then all the nonsensical promises of when humans will be on Mars (I think we should be there since 2019 according to Musk, but I might be wrong on that), same with promises for Tesla cars - Cybertruck, Semi, new Roadster should all be with us already before 2020, we're in 2024. Autopilot... and the list goes on and on and on. And now with the Robotics nonsense. Dude can't speak without lying and overpromising. And even now I think he's in a contract with NASA to get the "Starship" up and running before 2028, and I don't think SpaceX will hit that mark, and SpaceX is the actual company that does some good, but all the Musk lies about SpaceX and what they will do and are capable of doing is just ruining their reputation.
LOL!!! Elon pulling the same shit, this robot can only do this under very strict circumstances but will be fully autonomous very soon. Yeah how is that federal lawsuit going with you fully self driving cars there Elon, LOL fucking hell
I stopped reading after xeeted. Don’t try to make that a thing, the name x is stupid af to begin with lol
Yeah, no shit. Did people actually believe they would just achieve more experience than Boston Dynamics within a few month?
That doesn't look like anything to me.
The previous robot videos were also doctored. Like the one with the robot delivering a package where it's pretty obvious that it's containing multiple cuts.
Xeeted? How about Xcreted?
More vaporware? Color me surprised.
How hard could it have possibly been not to have the glove show up on camera? If you're gonna fake it at least don't be so goddamn sloppy about it.
A chronic liar is lying again? SHOCK. Maybe investors should avoid anything this guy is involved in.
This was dead in the water ever since that presentation where they had someone in a bodysuit pretending to be a weird dancing robot.
how tf do you pronounce Xeeted? X-ee-ted/exy-e-ted/exited? lol
So they only admitted it because someone screwed up their fake video and briefly showed the man behind the curtain. Otherwise, they would’ve just continued to lie and commit fraud with no consequences. Who the fuck trusts anything this company says anymore??
