Elon brags that his 20-year-old son who’s named after a white siupremacist dog whistle is a total dork who’s rude to waitstaff.
What does “based” mean in this context? I’m not up on the latest in drug-fueled Fascist terminology.
From context, I would guess that being “based” means being an asshole to everyone. Just what these folks know the best.
According to Google AI:
“Based” is internet slang used to describe someone who is unapologetically themselves, confident, and acts without caring what others think.
Which is a polite way of saying what @EinsteinsHund just posted.
Yeah, strike, I’m edgier than any stinking AI! One point for the human camp.
Short for “based in reality”, as opposed to being politically correct, which 4chan obviously thinks is a fantasy world.
It’s so on brand for Elon to think that a 20 year old ordering a cheeseburger in a sushi restaurant is badass instead of pathetic.
Based in ignorant selfishness is more like. Thanks everyone for the language lesson.
Is it still badass when they tell him to GTFO and never come back as they take a Polaroid to post by the host(ess) station?
An actual badass wouldn’t have gone to dinner at a place that doesn’t serve the food he wants to eat.
The reality is that he’s kissing his daddy’s ass by going wherever daddy says to go, and being a complete asshole to people who can’t hurt him.
Which suggests that as much as various macho assholes want to claim to be “based”, the attitude adjustment that would most improve their personality is a thorough ass-kicking in some alley.
Elon says he’s going to use new physics to build 50 times the entire world’s annual output of computer chips at one factory and use it to power humanoid robots which he’ll sell 10 billion of every year and launch the rest into space on giant rockets that will be taking off 135 times a day.
Musk didn’t explain how he will find sufficient resources to make any of this happen, a question that’s especially important at this moment given the war in Iran has seen production of helium – an essential component in semiconductor manufacturing – fall by 30 percent.
Makes sense to me. Sounds like a solid plan. I presume this Terafab will be on Mars, operated by humanoid robots. Helium supply should be no problem – Elmo will be sourcing that from Jupiter, which has lots.
All will be well as long as the ketamine and cocaine supplies hold out.
He’s starting to sound more and more like Dr. Bronner at this point.
Bronner wants to convince mankind of the virtues of the “All-One-God-Faith,” which, together with the “Moral ABC,” his answer to the Ten Commandments, will unite the human race. The details of this can be a bit hard to follow. For example: “Replace half-true Socialist-fluoride poison & tax-slavery with full-truth, work-speech-press & profitsharing Socialaction! All-One! So, help build 4 billion Hannibal wind-power plants, charging 96 billion battery-banks, powering every car-factory-farm-home-monorail & pump, watering Babylon-roof-gardens & 800 billion Israel-Milorganite fruit trees, guarded by Swiss 6000 year Universal Military Training,” etc.
This is a cry for help.
It’s just more evidence there was never any “there” there.
The old “make it fast, break it fast, fix it fast” thing sort of (but not really) works for software, which actually can in many cases be scaled up exponentially in short order. Not so much for hardware. But tell that to a drug addled Tony Stark wanna-be.
He, and the stockholders, should already know better - he has a history of making unrealistic claims about the number of Tesla models they’d produce each year and failing. Then again, it’s never really hurt him to do so, so maybe he’s not the crazy/foolish one
Failing upwards is a really neat superpower to have. No matter how you obtained it.
He’s sounding more and more like Time Cube Guy every single day.
Well, first you have to select the right parents…
That is indeed the single most important, and definitely the first in time, step to get right. Flub that and you’re probably screwed.
Note to Elon: Make sure you have a supply of Charmin on hand so you can “enjoy the go” if they new physics work as advertised.
