I remember that happening and my first thought was..."No, I was right about mever getting self driving. He's a fucking moron." I got into argu.ents every day because I worked in tech. You wouldn't believe how many people argued that it was fine to prepay for a fucking car with no delivery date and that was normal for new tech. It was always part of some brilliant plan or other.
One coworker said it was the same as an iPhone because he had prepaid for his. I asked him for the receipt...it had a date of delivery. He changed his argument and it became...because it was way more popular than an iPhone, actually and companies always do this. I couldn't get him to concede that he just loved the idea and really wanted one despite it being an absurd process. He wouldn't even agree that it was about emissions or some other social issue. His fan base got really quiet, finally.

Remember when he called that guy a pedo because he saved those Thai Kids from a cave and Elon didn’t get a chance to use his boring tech?
