Tesla keeps mistreating employees and firing those who object to this. It is Musk doing this.
I dunno, maybe it's because I've taken classes in the school by professors of one of the top MBA programs in this country, meeting some of the then-older students in the graduate school where this all goes on, and it's like, yeah, you learn some stuff but a whole lot of it is teaching you to be confident in your business acumen. They trust if you got that far in the admission process that you are the real deal and will learn what you need for the specific industry you end up in, but it's not in the curriculum, necessarily.It should be noted that this is a very common impression of the degree by the working class and the professional class. "People on this thread" is belittling the point being made a bit, in my opinion anyways.
A preschool friend of mine I ran into on the street a year or two ago told me of how he got injured in the tesla plant in Hayward (the plant famous as a previously GM-Toyota venture that Tesla took over around the time of the 2008 crash). Only person I knew to work there.Tesla keeps mistreating employees and firing those who object to this. It is Musk doing this.
VW will spend almost 44 billion euros ($50 billion) on developing electric cars, autonomous driving and new mobility services by 2023 and explore further areas of cooperation with U.S. automaker Ford (F.N).
Diess said he hoped to have an outline agreement on cooperation with Ford fleshed out by the end of the year, with the initial focus on commercial vehicles. He added that a merger with Ford was not on the agenda and also said there were no plans to take a stake in the American company.
Mass producing electric cars will help the carmaker reduce the cost to the same level as current diesel vehicles, Diess said at a news conference in Wolfsburg, VW’s home town

Volkswagen? I assume they'll exceed the emissions limits and lie about it somehow.From Reuters.

they weren't the only one doing it, they were the only one to apologize.Volkswagen? I assume they'll exceed the emissions limits and lie about it somehow.
It is very easy to underestimate the massive influence SpaceX has had on the space industry. The company could crash and burn tomorrow (pun intended) and their impact would live on. One huge thing that's been happening in a completely invisible manner is that SpaceX has trained a bumper crop of engineers to break with precedent when they need to. In an industry as conservative as this one, that's a huge deal.As a big fan of SpaceX, I've mostly seen it as that separate CEO of Tesla doing stupid stuff
Actually CoO Gwynne Shotwell is the actual runner of SpaceX.
The smoking weed stuff was cool though.
But honestly, those far off ambitions of Musk are just cool. It's like talks of guys like the infamous Robert Zubrin who has been proposing Mars Direct for decades, way before the reuse of orbital rocket stages was even a viable ideal.
Musk wants to be a name like those of the old immortal heroes by the virtue of his acheivements. The Von Braun of his time, if not more. Zubrin is a skeptic of the specific methods of Musk, while still an admirerer of his acheivements and his future ambitions. Musk, by making reusable orbital boosters that much closer to reality has made a huge leap in human technology (not just him personally, obviously. If the New Glenn is as good as proposed it might be a better trip to orbit than the Falcon Heavy or even the BFR and be the stairway to heaven through Blue Origin rather than SpaceX).
At 1:31:00 there is the view of Zubrin of the chances of SpaceX reaching Mars by 2022/24 as currently proposed by Musk, (1%,) and his view of him as a person which I view as more objective than many others.
And at 0:08:00 minutes in showing how the recent developments by SpaceX has spurred huge developments all over the industry and related ones. I recommend you just watch all of it.
"They are building components of the BFR right now." And that is well documented in several aspects. That to me is not out to just make money, it's all in on doing something amazing.
Well to be fair, the company was literally founded by Hitler.they weren't the only one doing it, they were the only one to apologize.
What do you think of Musk's HyperLoop? Solving transportation issues with fast transport in underground tunnels. Is it doable? Is it shooting sparrows with cannons?
Heh heh heh I see what u did ther.Its a pipedream atm.
