I considered hard weather this really belongs in Technology, but came to the conclusion that exposing a scammer that is considered a tech genius, does belong here. Because debunking a technology company is as important as showing it, when it’s considered valid.

That said, I believe most people here are already aware that Musk is not to be trusted blindly. But just how bad it really is, may be news to some.

    Someone mentioned this and it always stuck with me - never trust someone who makes failure collective ("we dug our grave”), but success individual.

      How about the other way around?

      • (I) I made that mistake
      • (they) We made that mistake
      • (I) We made that success
      • (they) They made that success

    Hard pass. Anyone who decided that the shithead reactionary bigots were the side of gamergate they wanted to support isn’t getting views from me, thanks.

    Remember Thunderf00t may open himself to lawsuits making these claims publicly. But I’m sure he considered that first, and came to the conclusion, that everything he says, he can document is true. I’ve run into his material from time to time already from about 15 years ago, and he is 100% a VERY smart guy, that knows what he is talking about.

      Except about SpaceX, I’m not going to dig though the threads right now, but he’s been hilariously wrong about SpaceX in the past. Though not as bad as common sense skeptic though if I’m remembering right.
