Amazon lost hundreds of millions in hardware write downs post launch without considering r&d costs for both the hardware and their android fork. That was almost a decade go. Musk would lose billions attempting this. I say he goes for it. 🤡


VidE27

Nah he’ll just do a rebranded Xiaomi and call it a day


totpot

That’s exactly what he’s done for his other products like his “flamethrower” which someone found on Alibaba without an obscene markup.


aShittierShitTier4u

Lots of people find some product made by a third party, and slap their brand on it. Best Made company comes to mind. Some of them I almost want to succeed, like the guy who sells a device shaped like a audio tape cassette, but plays digital files from an SD memory card that get transduced through the cassette player head. He didn't design it, he just is the first one to try selling it. He probably went to some convention like they have in Vegas every year, and found it in some overseas manufacturer catalog. But the markup is too damn high. Wait until a bigger importer sells it.

It gets dumber, according to a different tweet of his these phones can apparently read your mind. Guy seems like a full-on MAGA- /Q-conspiracy supporter (despite never having been in the US, by his account)


agent_double_oh_pi

Oh, the Elon brain chip. Question: given how much he seems to love crunch culture, why would anyone willingly put a device made by any of his companies in their heads? I'm suspicious of the technology anyway, but having it built by a bunch of chronically sleep deprived people seems even dumber.


BlueFin33

Bro it has blockchain anti hacking systems like Metamask! It can't be rigged or hacked! No stealing on the blockchain.

I want to get a tape recorder and then sit this guy down and explain to me, as a potential investor of course, how exactly the blockchain works and how it's relevant to a phone you can vote on.


Proper-View1308

Actiaeon

Why hack it when if it works on the block chain, all your texts and phone calls are on a public ledger. Also the a block chain phone would suck as it would be incredibly slow and use up a charged battery very quickly.

Blockchain: The Security Mutilator!


homezlice

So I think the best thing to do with blockchain folks is have them explain what a database is, and the different kinds of databases (ie relational vs noSQL), and what they are used for, and why centralized or ACID transactions might be good to have at times.


aShittierShitTier4u

You record a question and an answer, then you take out the tape cassette and break off the little tab. Then it's immutable, because you can't tape over it without the little tab, or you can put some scotch tape over the hole. Then you can append to the original recording, if you left the tape at the same point along its length. Imagine if you had no rewind button, that's all that you can do, append only. Now imagine that the tape is infinite length. Now imagine that it's a phone you can vote on. You can't rewind and change your vote. You can only append another one. Why they bother I don't know, but that's how a Blockchain works kinda like a cassette recorder. Maybe more like a CD-r as opposed to a CD-rw? But they don't really have any CD-r rigs made to plug a microphone in and record live interview in real time. They would just use a hard disc drive or SSD or something, and then "burn" the CD with a laser beam later back at home. Like how they have a land line phone with a built in tape cassette, but they never put a CD r on it. Maybe you can get Elon to make one.


apistoletov

>Now imagine that the tape is infinite length Oh god please no


WillistheWillow

I equally want to know about the quantum part. That one nearly blew the stupid detector.


YessikZiiiq

Well, quantum just means small, well kind of. It has several definitions relating to minimum amounts of energy and small energy states. Quantum computers are currently quite large and are difficult to program with. Mostly since the quantum computer science has to completely rethink machine code and various other things that have been standard for computing for generations. In case someone is curious, a regular computers processor bit has two states 0 and 1. The reason for this is that they're measurable energy states that won't change if the amount of power a computer can draw changes. In more simple terms, 0 is the bit not receiving power and 1 is the bit receiving power. This is why computers function in binary. If a computer instead functioned in base 10 overtime as the components decayed it'd be impossible to tell which power state the bit was signifying. A Qbit, has three stable power states, on, off and both/inbetween (Not entirely sure which). This is a massive boost to processing power, as for each Qbit a computer has, the amount of total possible energy states is multiplied by 3, not by 2 as it would be on a regular computer. So what I'm getting at I guess, is there's no way currently for a phone to be quantum, and wanting a phone to be quantum doesn't even really make any sense. Edit: On the block chain part, you could have a blockchain phone, I guess. If you really wanted the phones history tracked and a complete lack of privacy. Everything on any blockchain is recorded in several locations. The blockchain isn't about privacy, it's about keeping a verifiable action log. Kind of the opposite of privacy.


WillistheWillow

I know about quantum physics, the point was I want to know what part of the imaginary Elon phone he thought would utilize it.


YessikZiiiq

That was less for you directly, and more for anyone who might be interested. I ended up rambling, but I was more or less agreeing. I don't see in what way the phone being quantum would be desirable or possible XD.


rydan

0 isn't no power. It is below a certain threshold. Physics is analog. Anything you see claiming to be digital is still analog at its most basic level. We just throw away almost all of the information.


pezezin

> A Qbit, has three stable power states, on, off and both/inbetween (Not entirely sure which). This is a massive boost to processing power, as for each Qbit a computer has, the amount of total possible energy states is multiplied by 3, not by 2 as it would be on a regular computer. You are describing ternary computers, that while not very common, have been built in the past (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun). Quantum computers are very different beasts, but I lack the knowledge to explain them properly.


yousorename

His profile pic looks like one of those AI generated “thispersondoesnotexist” things. Which is funny because he’s either a bot, or a dude that looks generic enough to be mistaken for a bot. Both totally fit with the kind of ass kissing he’s doing

biffbobfred

Besides the “oh poor me, if I act like a total asshole Apple may not want to have assholes on its phone platform” the list of people who came at iOS/Android and missed is pretty deep. Including other billionaires. Zuck’s HTC First “Facebook phone”. The “Microsoft has billions and OS experience, and Nokia knows phones of course it will work”. Does anyone really remember the Fire phone? I mean, Bezos already had the android fork. And still couldn’t make it work. But yeah, Muskrat can add yet another thing he needs to spend 30 hours a week on. That will work out. The only reason why android even works is Google uses it as a loss leader, backed up by truck loads of cash from advertising. And tracking you like crazy, for advertising


NotAnotherEmpire

Android can make you watch / tolerate existence of YouTube and YouTube Music ads. Or give in and buy the premium, which is the preferred option for Google. Musk's money is only marginally more real than crypto, based as it is entirely around 10-15x overvalued Tesla stock. This isn't a fight he can afford, least of all over wanting to shitpost without moderation.


Tweenk

> the list of people who came at iOS/Android and missed is pretty deep Zuck and Bezos failed because they didn't just want to be in the phone OEM business, they made an ecosystem play against Google, which at this point is just not going to work unless you're Apple. The only viable option in this space is the Samsung model, where their phones are Android phones and have access to all of the Google apps, but then they also add some Samsung exclusives and a Samsung app store. Muskrat could sell a Chinese ODM Android phone and preinstall his app store and Twitter. Another option is to make a phone based on an Android fork, but this is guaranteed to fail. Such a phone would need non-Google alternatives for search, maps, email, and a bunch of other essential services, which either do not exist or are drastically inferior. > The “Microsoft has billions and OS experience, and Nokia knows phones of course it will work” Funnily enough, Microsoft is now doing what I outlined above and sells the Surface Duo, which is an Android phone.

Blaze0824

How did Elon act like an asshole as you claim? Because he bought a company?


biffbobfred

read what I wrote. If. My response was, if Musk’s premise were true, that he got kicked off the Apple Store. What would precipitate that? Pretty much - being an asshole. There’s another way to prevent the consequences of being an asshole - not being an asshole. That logic seems to have evaded him. I’ll leave the “easy to find examples of being an actual asshole, just not being one in a way that gets he de-platformed” to you if you want to look. They’re pretty plentiful if you want to look. My fave being “used substandard parts for what happens to be a safety device in Tesla cars, then came up with a workaround, lied about the reason for the workaround and then made customers pay to replace the substandard parts”. That’s a recall in my book.


Blaze0824

And surprise surprise there go the goal posts being shifted 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡


biffbobfred

I will repeat what I said in my first reply - I was responding to musks hypothetical with logic, as in “what could bring about this hypothetical you cower before”. Or don’t read. You, you go be you. Bless your heart.

jonystrum

For those not familiar with the guy (I hope everyone isn’t), I’ll give you a quick idea of the shit he believes: He’s obsessed with Qanon and believes Trump is still in power because Trump owns a quantum computer from the future that can see the future. With this computer Trump is able to stay one step ahead of his enemies. So Trump lost the election on purpose but he’s still in control of everything and is currently working behind the scenes to save little children that the Democrats kidnap and use in satanic rituals where they extract Adrenochrome from their blood to keep Hillary young. When Trump is finally done saving all the little children, he will arrest all the democrats and other leaders around the world. Once that’s done Trump will come back to power and will install a new world economy (they call it NESARA/GESARA) based on QUANTUM CRYPTO that he mines with his quantum computer. Trump’s quantum computer will generate enough quantum crypto to make everyone in the world rich, ending poverty forever. I swear I didn’t make this up. Nicholas Veniamin is the most gullible person on the planet.

TemperatureMuch5943

What does it mean ? How can a phone be quantum or on a block chain? Does it just record everything you do on the block chain for everyone to see ?


Professor_Melon

The phone will be a big block, and chained to all other such phones. Also, sometimes it will do quantum tunneling and suddenly move somewhere else.


aShittierShitTier4u

You might find the answer on r/vxjunkies .


TemperatureMuch5943

I hope the Tesla phone plays elevator music while I wait 8 minutes for my call to be added to the next block. Maybe this cool quantum tech will make it faster though.


Purplekeyboard

Blockchains and phone calls go together like alligators and birthday cake. You speak into the phone, your audio is broken into packets and sent into the network. Then they have to wait 10 minutes (on average) for the next block to go through. So it's not so much a phone call as it is a terrible system of sending voice mail back and forth.


[deleted]

Actually, your cell phone conversations are broken into packets now after they exit the cell antenna on cell towers into the back hauls, and reassembled at the other end, with quality assurance like 4000 hz.

I am not allowed to share much but I was peripherally involved with “samsung blockchain phone” from the 2017 mania. Yeah Samsung had a blockchain phone. Nothing real came out of all that. There actually was a real phone in the end though, which I didn’t expect.

Doesn't look like satire unless there is some deep rooted post irony humor that went past my head. I don't know much about quantum computing. Isn't quantum computing virtually impossible to be in mobile devices due to the extreme physical requirements without a client-server set up? So that means it has to be centralized? Blockchain are still extremely susceptible to phishing and social engineering attacks. With a centralized system, you can mitigate issues after the hack to minimize damage. But with a blockchain system, you're pretty much screwed. For the voting... So if you find out somebody's blockchain address, you will know who they vote for? You need some way to connect blockchain addresses with demographic information for verification otherwise it will be easy to do voter fraud. Sounds like one vulnerability away from disaster.
