or published the text of the offer and the back and forth of trying to get out of it with his PR people, pictures of some assistant running off copies of the logo and taping them to the boxes, followed by the agreed photo.

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

it's funny because i'm pretty sure no one asked him to try, but he took a whack at it, decided it was too hard, and then came up with a solution to the problem no one had that was somehow even dumber than "keep adding decks to the highway".

i mostly hope he gets squished at his factory by improperly safe machines as per his "no loud honks" and "no color yellow" floor directives

though i'd also be ok with his cultish PR campaign backfiring and having a stalker cut his face off and wear it as a mask or something

Tesla exists so that Elon doesn’t interfere with spacex

he’s unfortunately found out more about spacex, but they found some water tower company to distract him for now while the real work is being done

Hey now, they specifically called out the gloves on the totally real and not just motorcycle leathers spacesuits as being touch compatible

I guess nobody has ever experienced those or something because they’re awful

nasa considers spacex the competent one. boeing probably has a higher dlc death toll than tesla after all
