I'm beginning to think that destroying it was the whole point.

Tesla, too.

don't ascribe to malice what can be perfectly explained by incompetence.

Yes, that is generally true. But Elon has shown time and time again that he is an inherently malicious individual.

Is it implausible that a jackass like Elon would spend a small fraction of his wealth to destroy a company that hurt his wittle feelwings?

not in a vacuum, but I find it improbable he would willfully want to do it in a way that makes him look stupid.

Don't fall for the glass onion

I've never heard that phrase before. What does it mean/reference?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A glass onion is something that appears to have numerous layers and complexity. But in truth, it's completely transparent. It usually refers to people trying to ascribe meaning and genius to the actions of giblethead billionaires.

I watched that whole movie without a single thought of what glass onion might even mean.
