OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we’re going to allow Elon to murder every year?

    As much as I hate Elon, self-driving cars are the future and will be way safer than some idiot behind the wheel

      Yeah, but Elon’s self-driving cars aren’t self-driving, nor are they necessarily as safe a good driver.

      There are people out there who shouldn’t be able to drive, and in sane countries many of them don’t manage to get their licenses. But in the US for an example, apparently you can’t get anywhere without a car, so until the public transit situation is solved, drivers licenses need to be given out like candy :/ Exception being some cities with awesome public transit. The only one I’ve been to is NYC, where most people don’t really need to drive. I’d say the transit there is better than in my country.

      And the worst part is that even once real SDCs exist and can be bought, not everyone can afford them. Or maybe they’ll be more like Uber or Bolt in that you hail one from an app and it picks you up - but then people in rural areas are still fucked without being able to drive themselves.

      “As much as I hate elon…”

      “I hate elon as much as the next guy, but…”

      “Look, I’m no elon fan, but…”

      I’m sure you all know, but to be clear, the above are the beginnings of sentences from people who don’t hate elon. They are sentences from people who like elon, but think you will hate them, or not consider their opinions, if they say out loud that they do, in fact, like elon.

      On a separate but related note, this is elon speaking at a hate-filled rally featuring a series of bigoted speakers, including himself. The rally very intentionally cosplayed an American Nazi rally that famously occurred at Madison Square garden in the 1930s. To emphasize how on the nose this all was, elon wore a specially made hat - a hat that very deliberately used an especially prominent font from the Nazi era. They are literally SCREAMING it in your face and tattooing it on their foreheads

      elon has done nothing good or admirable with his life and elon will will not do anything good or admirable with his life. You can’t compartmentalize your opinion on this, he sucks, on the whole.

        A self-driving vehicle is not exclusive to Elon.

        I prefer electric cars over gas ones, and think that at some point computer controlled transportation will be more reliable than the average human driver. These aren’t endorsements of any person or company.

        Why are you wrapping this up so much with the one dude?

        Its like saying that you can’t endorse online shopping unless you also like Bezos.
