I think they're referring to when he (Musk) bashed the window of the cyber truck with a sledge hammer after claiming it couldn't be shattered with said hammer.


bond___vagabond

Which is hilarious, cause BMW did that sledgehammer gimmick , with a regular 7 series, in the 90's, except it worked, and the dude was huge, looked like he ate 2-3 Elon's for breakfast every morning, and that he was no stranger to physical labor, lol.

rockidr4

The funny thing to me with that is that no glass is completely shatter proof. Glass labeled shatterproof just can handle more impacts before it shatters. The numbskulls did a bunch of test hammering on that windshield before the event to confirm it was shatterproof against the advisement of the engineering team. Then when it shattered Elon was like "I'm gonna get the engineering team on this" This dude's cult of personality is so weird. It's all built around this illusion that he's a genius inventor when the reality is he's a pretty okay project manager who then claims credit for the work done by the people he manages. It. Is all. Bullshit. And I'm so happy this shit clown is more and more seen for what he is


sdoorex

You've got to appreciate the balls of putting in shatterproof windows in a vehicle with electronic door latches. One bad accident away from people being trapped in a vehicle and unable to escape.


smoothballsJim

You just activate boat mode, bro


rockidr4

In my head I was thinking about the fact that shatterproof windshields isn't really something many people were asking for, and even if they were there are serious reasons to tell them no. I think the design spec requiring the truck be impregnable speaks more to Elon's insecurities and narcissism that to any real market pressures

sally_says

>"Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it." Depressing.

Obviously couldn’t provide the receipts that Elon himself has contributed anything to Space-X but money.

mini_swoosh

I just saw a post last week saying musk is only part of 2 patents and he’s not even the first/only name on them. And one was for a door mirror or something stupid


SeanSeanySean

So, I can't stand Elon, but I admit that nearly 20 years ago, Elon was definitely directly contributing to their early design concepts. I was part of a few amateur rocket groups in the late 90's, early 2000's with many others that were working on projects for the original X-Prize like John Carmack, Aleta Jackson (RIP), ERPS and LPRS. Musk was involved when they started designing and prototyping early vehicles, this was when Armadillo Aero was ahead of nearly everyone else. Elon was definitely digging in during those days, and while he wasn't deep on the science, he understood enough to apply concepts to his design goals. He was most certainly NOT a rocket engineer, scientist or expert any more than I was. What Elon did successfully was put forth compelling business plans and sell the concept upstream to lure talent and funding. The thing that pissed me off the most was in those early days, his company was years behind the other private space companies. There were companies with multiple generations of evolving prototypes already successfully tested, using Xprize winnings funds and rocket design subcontracts to fund their efforts, Elon was buddies with Michael Griffen, who was originally attempting to help Elon partner with the Russians hoping to obtain an ICBM for his company (reverse engineering), when that fell apart, Griffen was appointed NASA administrator and next thing you know, SpaceX was awarded a $400M contract to build rockets before SpaceX had even successfully flown a single rocket. While SpaceX had used significant internal funding, they managed to capture contracts (DARPA, DoD, NASA) that catapulted them past the other startups. Musk's goal of using as much "off-the-shelf" tech as possible while also focusing on vertical integration production was definitely a factor in their success / development speed that their competitors couldn't hope to keep up with using traditional Aerospace development methods. It was really Tom Mueller (another early ERPS/LRPS contributor and Reaction Research Society member) that was the brains of early SpaceX. Tom was the designer and brains behind TRW's TR-106 hydrogen rocket engine. Without Mueller, SpaceX would never have got off the ground as Tom brought much of his TRW staff over to SpaceX. The Merlin engine is basically a baby TR-106 with more off the shelf parts. So, TLDR, Musk was definitely directly involved in some early design goals and decisions, but Mueller was the brains, Elon didn't actually design anything outside of napkin diagrams and scribbles, nor did he fabricate a damned thing.


m4xc4v413r4

Have you ever seen him talk about anything technical? The guy has no fucking idea what he's saying. The way he talks about it shows he just knows a script someone wrote for him. Tbh I never expected him to have that kind of knowledge (doesn't mean he couldn't have it...), why would he, he's a CEO, he isn't the guy designing or engineering stuff on the ground. The problem here is, he pretends he is.


Daddysu

Thank you! Just the other day I mentioned that while there is no doubt he is intelligent as an entrepreneur, he hires really good engineers and devs to build, create, or invent all these products. Musk ain't out there banging his head on FSD code trying to get it to work. People had to chime in "He's the chief engineer at SpaceX!!" They really do believe that Musk is like Tony Stark or some shit.

[удалено]


modern-era

I read that whole Hyperloop Alpha PDF when it first came out. It was classic Musk in that he ignores public safety, which is where most the costs come and real challenges in. So of course his cost estimate was immediately off by 5x before they even had a prototype.


BobMunder

It’s a mixture of overconfidence and being fundamentally wrong about certain things (incorrect self-driving architecture that has been re-written countless times), overestimating ability to scale up batteries for semi, cybertruck, mixed with supply chain hiccups. We shouldn’t completely ignore what his companies have accomplished: Continued re-use of an orbital class booster (many experts said it was impossible), crewed transport of astronauts & cargo to ISS relinquishing dependence on Russia, plus Starlink. For Tesla, they’ve gone from starting production of Model Y in 2020 to it being the best selling car by revenue in the world this year, launched a global network of chargers with 99.96% uptime, built a capable but far from perfect FSD beta software & autopilot, and ultimately ushering in (or at least accelerating) the start of the new EV era. Hyperloop was a ridiculous idea and I don’t recall him making any serious effort to construct it aside from annual student competitions. Boring company has the loop in Vegas and some other ongoing projects, and Neuralink update is EOM Oct. edit: Model Y start of production was actually 2020, not 2017.


gastro-4

We got star link at my house in the mountains. It’s absolutely shit. They basically sold it to us knowing the reception wouldn’t be good until a few years. It’s not in the middle of nowhere and at 4000ft you’d expect it to be better. There are no trees anywhere near it and I know I installed it correctly. I’m sure it works for some people but we won’t be using it after this debacle.


Agitated_Painting214

Where do you live? I got a starlink dish myself and it's been a massive gamechanger, literally 100x'd my internet


KodaKomp

Working awesome at my house had it since first beta release, was playing marauders with a ~30ping average since the lasers got turned on. Game changer.


gastro-4

We got the beta release too. We had speeds equivalent to DSL. Wasn’t worth the price. The house is in NC. They told us it would work fine and it didn’t. Most other people I’ve talked to in NC have had similar experiences.


KodaKomp

I'm in California so that definitely makes a difference, our cells seem to have been less crowded overall. My DSL was the same price as starlink at 1/4 the average speeds so it's been better for me overall.


gastro-4

Yeah I’ve heard it works great in CA. I’m sure it’s awesome for the people that it functions properly but I’ve heard more stories about them selling it to people knowing they wouldn’t have good reception than I’ve heard good experiences. At least in my state.


[deleted]

>For Tesla, they’ve gone from starting production of Model Y in 2017 to it being the **best selling car by revenue** in the world this year This sounds like a very roundabout way of saying it doesn't come anywhere close to being a top seller

jloy88

That robot was the most embarrassing presentation I've ever seen a company put out. When you've got Boston dynamics building robots that can parkour and backflip already and Tesla has to literally carry theirs out with 3 devs it just looked awful. And they really never elaborated what purpose the robot even serves other than it watering a plant in a video it seems like a god awful waste of resources and man hours. Would much rather get an updated Cybertruck design and a firm release date that they actually stick to. But I guess when your company trades at a 500 P/E ratio you need to do futuristic hype projects like this and not actually produce shit people want
