• Steve Jobs faked full signal strength and swapped devices during the first iPhone demo due to fragile prototypes and bug-riddled software.

• Engineers got drunk during the presentation to calm their nerves.

• Despite the challenges, Jobs successfully completed the 90-minute demonstration without any noticeable issues.

That was on him for going out the script. He could have made a cult like Apple.

Instead he did whatever the hell this is

Somehow it still has a cult like Apple

i think Tesla's and Elons cult is gonna be much different, he has succesfully alienated most of the so called "woke liberal" crowd with his fascists free speech absolutist sex offender shit, and then right wingers wont purchase his shit because they deny climate change and want their gas guzzlers, so he is stuck with the niche, crypto fun tech bros to worship him and his shitty "cars"

And he elegantly timef his shit to alienate his main purchase demographics to be at the time when the big automakers start coming out with their own offerings

Tesla will be a charging provider at best in a decade if they survive all the class action lawsuits over his fake claims that is

That is the one single example when a product was unveiled on stage and the presenter perfectly expressed my feelings on it.
