@arstechnica A friendly reminder that Musk's shitty AI called itself "MechaHitler" and went on antisemitic tirades.
Considering how often Tesla's burst into flames, SpaceX launches explode, and Grok makes CSAM... ahem... experiences glitches & "rapid unplanned disassembly", does anyone want to buy a car, AI, or software from this technofascist oligarch?

@arstechnica If they need to resort to this to turn a profit they're finished.
@arstechnica Robocars, door-to-door automation, subscription models... Wow, that sounds like all the world's monsters are joining hands. In plain sight.
Ah, but we'll be made to work and shop while "driving" - now that can't be bad, right?
@arstechnica
Maybe young people are more interested in having a future then having a flying car ?
@arstechnica fuck tesla, fuck musk
@arstechnica great, just what we need, subscription autodrive. Don't we already have enough subscriptions?

Musk has no qualms about acting like a James Bond villain.
