And Elon wept, for there were no more growths to hack.
I may have gotten a little entangled in the analogy here myself lol
Excellent article. Personally I think that even if FSD happened, the idea of leasing out your privately-owned Tesla just plain died when Elon announced robo-taxis. So if making money was a selling point for Teslas, it's now been revoked. At least in areas where Tesla will offer its own service.
This is good. The death of Elonmuskism has been predicted many times, so I’m not so sure this will be the final blow, but I agree heartily with the conclusion. Elon, if he’s anything, is a “Zero to One” guy. Tesla needs an actual CEO who wants to build cars if it’s going to survive.
i love the final paragraph here idk why but i'm thinking of the story of the ruler who went to the Oracle at Delphi for advice and she told him "if you go to war, an empire will fall" he went to war, thinking the Oracle had prophesied his victory but she never specified WHICH empire would fall
