    This is arguably the nicest breakdown of Elon Musk that John Oliver could’ve done. John completely skipped over how Elon proposed the hyper loop, which was suppose to “replace highways”. Originally conveyed as the future of public transport, the project ultimately produce a small underground tunnel that people would take a Tesla Uber through. It was a thinly veiled distraction from a proposed high speed train in California that would have provided both a cheap and environmentally friendly option. I think that example ultimately encompasses what Musk has always been. A guy who is constantly spoke about as an innovator trying to save humanity, but always doing it by the most costly means to society that only benefit a few people and distract from the wider more effective sweeping changes.

    “One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so-but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.”

    The fact that billionaires can apparently just deny access to safety inspections for their businesses kinda makes it seem like the billionaire has more power than the safety inspectors. And that should definitely be the other way around. They shouldn't need permission. They should be able to get police to accompany them and force their way in if necessary.
    But that would require police to be protecting the people in the business instead of the business property so I can see why we don't do that in America.

I asked him about Elon's solution at the time (that pod submarine thing), and his response was that it risked all the lives of that soccer team, because the experts told him it wouldn't work right away, but he refused to listen and brought a giant media frenzy to an extremely delicate operation anyway and ended up delaying rescue operations by crucial days.

    Here’s another fun Musk-related story from this year. Here in Sweden, Tesla’s management got into a feud with their workers who want the company to enter a collective bargaining agreement, as is fairly standard here; they’ve been requesting it since 2018. Tesla refused, claiming they offer better terms than such an agreement. The workers disagree, and have gone on strike, with support from the union they belong to. Since then, more unions and workers in other Nordic countries have joined the strike too. It’s still ongoing as of this writing, and Musk has not been happy about it

    I'm Swedish. More than a month ago Tesla mechanics went on strike because (surprise surprise) Tesla has refused to sign a collective agreement with the union (which is pretty standard in Sweden). Since then every Swedish port has gone on sympathy strikes, refusing to unload Tesla cars meant for the Swedish market. I think even some of our postal services have stopped sending Tesla branded replacement parts. Tesla has tried to circumvent this by going through Norway, Denmark and Finland... so now the ports in all of those three countries have joined in on the strike, and I think Germany is considering it.
    I really hope we don't give up until they've agreed to sign the collective agreement, because that man legitimately needs to be humbled. And if this ends with Elon pulling out of Sweden... honestly, I think we're better off for it.

And they are. That's why they decided to go on strike. Your whataboutism is pretty pointless here.
      Tesla losing this battle would still affect him to a degree. The entire reason an agreement wasn't reached was because the Swedish branch of the company is not allowed to make those decisions, and their American counterparts said no.
      That said, we have Swedish companies that also refuse to sign collective agreements. Spotify and Klarna being the first that come to mind. So far that's been not so great for the people that work there. Especially during a time of massive layoffs.

    I've worked on projects for the Tesla Fremont plant. I was not responsible for the energy efficiency documentation, as that was handled by Tesla's in-house engineers. I was fairly certain what we were executing was not energy code compliant, since we were effectively air conditioning a large tent, but I wasn't responsible for that aspect. When the drawing set was released for submission to the city of Fremont, I checked the energy efficiency documentation, and the page was blank. In the corner, a note that basically said no energy efficiency calculations were needed, because this building was already "indirectly" air conditioned by double doors at each end which are propped open and the spaces they lead to are air conditioned. Which is a little bit like saying your garage is air conditioned because you can prop open the door to your house. I was not involved enough with the project beyond that point, but I don' t think they would have put something so brazenly inaccurate there if they didn't think they'd get away with it. By the way, this "tent" was only legal because it was officially a "temporary" structure, despite the contents being very expensive and rigidly anchored equipment.

      Read the guys story. He was upper middle class at best. His father is broke now. He started his first company out of a single room office he was living in with his brother, sold it for $11m, then used that money to start what would become PayPal. He then sold his stake in PayPal and used that money to start SpaceX and buy a majority share of a 6 month old electric car company that had 1 salaried employee.

    The Henry Ford comparison is striking... Howard Hughes too

      Striking how? The comparison lacks serious merit, spacex and Tesla have many patents and patentable innovations which they've chosen to instead opensource. John misses that point completely. That aside, notice how the worst dirt on Elon is packaged here, it shows that John is truly about political stunts than truth or green energy or an inspiring future. Truly sad

    Props to Tesla for making the broken Glas an Easter egg in the Cybertruck infotainment 😂

    Didn't mention that Elon didn't even found Tesla, he just took it over and then put a lot of marketing spin on the story.

      He bought a majority share when it was 6 months old, had one employee, and no idea what it was going to make. He was chairman of the board and chief engineer on the first car. All the “real founders” left the company before a single vehicle was shipped.
      You’re splitting hairs a bit.

    Hello, my name is WestofEarth, and I'm a recovering Musk fanboi. It was the pandemic bullsh*t he was spreading where I hit rock bottom. I've had a sober intellect for 4 years now.

      I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, you're likely not in the minority. Look on the bright side, at least you weren't one of the 30 women he had a kid(s) with!

      He's still a brilliant engineer, but he's starting to go the Howard Hughes route...pretty soon he'll be surrounding himself with Mormons after yelling show me all the blueprints for hours.
      He definitely had me too, because again: he's a brilliant engineer. His rocket designs and car designs have advanced humanity.
      The problem is he's started to love the smell of this own farts too much. And conspiracy theories. Which is weird, because you'd think the richest man in the world would know those conspiracies don't exist, because I'd they DID, he wouldn't be the richest man on the planet. Unless he's in on the conspiracy I guess?

      He hasn't created anything what do you mean he's a brilliant engineer lmao. The only patent he has under his own name is the charging mechanism of tesla which makes sure you cannot use any other charger on a tesla than the tesla charger. Its an excuse to get market capture.
      He's just spreading conspiracy to distract people from all the real harm he's doing to the world. He's desperately searching for a group that would defend him no matter what and he found that group in paranoid conservatives and nazis. ​@@mcnamaraky
