we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
to be clear, the reason he's "asking" is because the service doesn't work in tonga.

there's no down-links for the satellites to connect to near enough for them to be functional there, and as he admitted in that tweet, his mesh network still doesn't exist.

that's why he mentions that they still have access to traditional sat services, because they do, and those work. his won't.

i wonder how many of these insane musk reply guys are actually just musk on alternate accounts. the posts are a little too on the nose. at the very least he's gotta be paying some PR team to praise him all the time.

he tweets that Tonga needs to beg on twitter for access to his satellites even though he then admits the satellites can't help. the only possible purpose of tweeting that would be to try to get credit for being a benevolent tech savior and to engender goodwill towards his musk brand. this is clearly, like blatantly what he's doing. there is no other possible reason to tweet about this. so of course some "person" just shows up to immediately say that's NOT what he's doing. #1 brain in the world elon musk would never tweet bullshit just to get attention.

Musk operates on saying he's sending help or whatever because the press eats it up because he's our very own Zephram Cochran! Then as soon as they stop looking he backtracks because the press has already given him a favorable light, and no one cares anymore.

Sometimes I wonder if employees at Tesla or SpaceX read each of Elon's tweets with ice in their veins. At any moment he might make some dumbfuck promise that increases their work hours from 80 hours per week to 100.

Judging by my experience at working anywhere for the last 23 years. You have a high percentage of workers who may not enjoy the work, but drink deep of the Kool-Aid. Tesla would also attract the type of people who want to be a techbro, so they probably have a majority.

They may hate having to work 100 hours per week, but they still love the car.

Good points. I will say that the few engineers I know that worked at Tesla saw it as a way to get something on a resume more than truly believing in the mission. The people that work there more than 4 years are true believers, though. Fun fact: Tesla stock options vest at 4 years, which they calibrated so that most would burn out before getting there.

Considering the other manufacturers give a decent employee discount on their cars, why do I have a suspicion that Tesla charges full price?
