Responding to fishmech in a self-driving car derail: not even once! I read the Justine Musk interview; it sounds like a marriage that was under an enormous amount of pressure with the death of their first child and Musk running three companies and Justine getting bored and never seeing him. It's not surprising that she felt pressured to abandon her career and become a trophy wife, especially with five young kids, and it's not surprising that neither of them were happy in the relationship, and it's not surprising that he divorced her, and it's not surprising either that he married a much younger woman. It's not surprising that his second wife divorced him after a rocky relationship. Just seeing him in public it's clear that he's not very good with people in general. He's also a posh expatriate from a deeply weird country who got very rich very quickly. I don't doubt he's got a laundry list of character flaws.

Self-driving cars will be as revolutionary and massively successful as the Segway was for walking: discuss.

Imagine how easy it will be to shitpost when we're all in self-driving cars. No more waiting for red lights! Fishmech will only be a believer, of course, when you can read one of his posts in one go without looking at the road while driving on an unmarked road packed with pedestrians during a blizzard while an earthquake is happening.

As a daily cyclist, I welcome our attentive robotic driving masters. The reported issues with bicycles namely effect curb huggers, which is a bad idea anyway. Seriously most drivers are distracted and overrate their own abilities.

men are often expected to provide financial security and stability, which is increasingly difficult to achieve in american society (relative to how it could be obtained during the midcentury period when modern social expectations are rooted) and so men sometimes overcompensate by working themselves to the point of damaging their health and family lives. so, toxic masculinity and the drive to have control over the uncontrollable

I think most people are married at some point in their life so if someone was a workaholic at all they would probably at some point be a married workaholic. Like a majority of traits anyone could have will be a thing that applies to married people since after a certain age traditionally a majority of people are married.

Elon Musk explicitly told Justine Musk that he wanted to have many children in case some of them turned out to be duds.

That is absurdly out of context, they have twins and triplets because they had IVF, and that is simply how that works, they fill you up with embryos and you hope some work out. Then you either have a bunch of twins or you do some sort of dangerous surgical abortion of just a certain number of children.

Is there some archetype I'm missing or are all of these symptoms of some type of disorder? To be honest I'm just happy he's using his powers for good. Also they stayed together through losing their first child in infancy; that to me says something positive about their marriage. Yes Elon is a weirdo, yes Justine later felt that her life was spiraling into self-parody, but they stuck together through a huge trauma that splits up many couples. Also I'm a little unsympathetic to her complaints about the financial documents she signed because she got a multimillion dollar mansion in the divorce. That's a pretty big windfall for a writer and enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life should she choose to sell it. Like look at Zuckerburg or the Walton heirs, Musk is both undeniably self-made and has chosen to do things that don't backfire and put Duterte or Trump in power.

Also Musk is as self made as Trump is. Wish I could get a mere million dollar or whatever loan from my parents! Or enough for a down payment for a house...

Most billionaires come from wealthy families. Building a fortune takes a few generations. Unless you are absolutely incredible like Oprah it's pretty much impossible to get there from zero.

It's seriously the difference between someone retiring a millionaire and someone retiring on SS alone. The Millennials are getting hosed so drat hard. When we start hitting our 40s and 50s the retiring Xers are going to be floored at how much poo poo gets collectivized.

On the range of outcomes and the range of upbringings, I'd put him on the self-made side of things. It's a kind of observation rarely made in isolation, though, it's almost always freighted with "hey it's a meritocracy" or "hey poo poo's rigged".
