He's not even the best businessman in The Beatles.

Not by a long shot

Keep in mind that this is happening in spite of the fact that they try to keep President Musk away from the office.

Don’t worry, all those regulations that require auto recalls for defective parts will get repealed and then everything will be great. 🙄

The “bankruptcy king” of the USA, Donald Trump, surrounds himself with a charlatan who has never invented anything in his life, Elon Musk. Musk has been living very well on government money for years and now wants to take away the Americans' SS, which they paid for themselves. Satan!

Quiet! Shhhh...
A man whose company's signature, super-neato product has had 7 recalls in a year is going to lecture us about efficiency now.

kegill.bsky.social•63 days ago

To be clear, that’s the cybertruck.

wtfworld.bsky.social•63 days ago

And this is why they want to strip away the regulations….

poeia.bsky.social•64 days ago

15? That's more than one recall a month.

Can you imagine if an auto manufacturer that isn't a cult of personality had that many?

I wrote my first neural network over 40 years ago. I’m as convinced today as I was then that self driving cars are a solution looking for a problem… a sci fi fantasy perhaps best left in the movies.

Neither one of them are.

kegill.bsky.social•63 days ago

Amen.

timodee.bsky.social•64 days ago

What if he also made space ships oh wait

kegill.bsky.social•63 days ago

With our taxpayer $$$

Only if you think the point of his businesses are to make workable products rather than to fleece suckers via hype campaigns.

Why I will never buy a Tesla -
Musk programmed them to NOT stop at stop signs because no one does??🤦‍♀️ He has the mindset of the CEO of the Titan submersible who didn’t believe in safety regulations that got he & 5 others killed

There are about 6 of those rolling trash bins in my town. They've all been wrapped so as not to be mistaken for the company garbage dumpster when they park at the office.

Like many smart people, he thinks he is good at everything. A form of Dunning-Kruger.

kegill.bsky.social•63 days ago

Not sure “smart” is a requirement for Dunning-Kruger!

gmhird.bsky.social•63 days ago

About as good as his multi-bankrupt Vice President.

kegill.bsky.social•63 days ago

Cut from the same Silly Valley bro ethic.

Another reason tech bros shouldn’t run manufacturing companies. They want to treat their products like software. Go to market fast with barely working prototypes and license to everyone and anyone. Then just send out patches to piecemeal fix the 💩 software.

skyla50.bsky.social•63 days ago

Sounds just like how the IT departments I worked with in corporate America.. deliver multiple
releases instead of a product that works right the first time…

badsciencedebunked.bsky.social•63 days ago

Indeed. You’ve just basically described AGILE/SCRUM, something we do NOT need on our roads.

pnwgal506.bsky.social•61 days ago

Yep. Exactly what I was describing. As a project manager - I severely dislike agile/scrum. It’s developers’ method for not having to adhere to and actually complete the product owner’s requirements… No one wants a half-a$$ed car…

kegill.bsky.social•63 days ago

Credit Microsoft with that practice. They pioneered it. 😕

skyla50.bsky.social•63 days ago

Unfortunately as someone who has done ‘user acceptance testing’ of new software they use pre written scripts’ of based on how it should work- not actual users who don’t follow scripts when using and actually find out why it doesn’t work the hard way 🤷‍♀️

kegill.bsky.social•63 days ago

I, too, am a UX/UCD person.

pnwgal506.bsky.social•61 days ago

You are spot on! That’s EXACTLY what I was describing…
