or like from 6 years ago when elon replied to someone saying tesla was emphatically pro lgbt and if you didn't like that, go elsewhere.

MySpace enters the chat and loses more that 1/2 of their photo storage

Tom from MySpace did it right. Took a massive paycheck and then fucked off.

The company's profit and loss sheets back that up—Tesla was spending heavily on GPUs from Nvidia rather than on new car lines, although that was followed by news that Musk has had many of those GPUs redirected to his social media company X.

So, let me get this straight... Tesla, a publicly owned company, of which Musk is an employee (and major shareholder) is buying GPUs to be used by Twitter/X, a privately held company of which Musk is the owner?

How is that not embezzlement?

Symbolizes the rollout of large language models and the principal “garbage in, garbage out”.

It's also anything but the most efficient route for doing so. Like Abe Simpson toured the building before returning back to the hat stand and it the door.

Additionally, Musk announced a full self driving robot driver to make the robotaxis look more authentic

Elon could have spun off Tesla’s AI (FSD) into a separate company or created a new AI company that Tesla uses for their FSD. Instead, he’s pivoting Tesla, a fairly successful, if troubled car company that uses AI, away from producing cars. Why? I mean, this is consistent with his firings and division layoffs, but it seems like a dumb decision from the board’s/investors point of view.

To pump up the stock with the next hype train now that reality is catching up to EV production.

[–] kameecoding 4 points 4 months ago

Is tesla a fairly successful car company? Or is it an overvalued piece of shit memestock?

Elon says, we have another AI.
AI says, we have yet another "Elon says" post.

I saw a cyber truck in person for the first time this week. One thing I can say with certainty is that they are definitely NOT a truck company.

[–] jimmy90 18 points 4 months ago

Elon musk is not interesting any more

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Makes sense. It sure as shit didn't have any real intelligence.

AI will save anything! Except the stock market.

[–] bwf93 10 points 4 months ago

I thought xAI was the ai company.

[–] chakan2 9 points 4 months ago

Great...the company known for running cars into EMS vehicles at 80mph is focusing on AI. This will turn out fine.

ITT: bionicjoey from lemmy.ca demonstrates the informal fallacy multiple ways

[–] El_guapazo 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sure, and the cyber truck can be used as a flotation device.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I believe it's a device to remove all the oxygen from the local environment and convert it all into iron oxide. It's actually a remarkably effective. It even has wheels for easy transport.

Is he getting desperate because Tesla is down 20% in a month?
