>It's 3am in 2027 & you need a ride home from the club

>You use your phone to summon a Tesla Cybercab even though you think Musk is a twat

>Elons AI GROK begins its perusal of your online activities

>Robotaxi quickly slides up, its door silently swings up, you enter, door swings shut with a firm *click*

>Cybercab swiftly accelerates you away

>GROK has finished with your online activities analysis. Displeasure

>The dash screen suddenly lights up, displays & scrolls each & every post you ever disparaged Elon online. Ever. Anywhere. All the way back. Fullscreen.

>Now the dash screen displays a flashing GIF of Elon wagging his index finger, saying "shame shame shame. Shame on you hater." Elon is wearing his stupid huge black cowboy hat. Grinning. Idiot

>The Cybercab then whiplash accelerates to max. Disables windows & doors. Aircon stops. Auto initiates a Catastrophic Battery Overload. The Robotaxi heats up incredibly fast. Your seatbelt retracts violently, pinning you down.

>Dashboard Elon maniacally cackles and giggles onscreen while you fry. Your demise is dashcam livestreamed to Elons phone for his amusement. Elon gets quite erect while intently watching. Real hard

>Your cooking is over quickly. Livestream ends as dashcam melts. Elon etches yet another victory line on his bedroom wall, then he kinda jumps for some reason

>Tesla releases its standard 'Oopsie software glitch' statement in response. The world yawns

>A new Cybercab exits the factory and rolls out into the world

The Musk-Trump lovefest is based on Musk hoping a Trump administration would reduce competition in the EV market.

"

On its face, a second Trump presidency would be bad for companies [like Tesla] trying to move the country away from fossil fuels.

Musk opened the company's investor call by saying the wave of competition killing its profits and shrinking its market share would pass, but he didn't offer any reasoning.

When asked if he was worried about Trump repealing the IRA, Musk tipped his hand. He told investors that the move would be "devastating" for Tesla's competitors but less so for Tesla — in fact, "long term," he said, it would be good for Tesla.

In essence this was an admission that Musk's best hope is that Trump returns to the White House and dismantles the regulatory regime that has encouraged legacy automakers to enter the EV market. The best thing for Tesla is if US legacy automakers like GM and Ford sit on the sidelines.

Rather than worrying about society's move to an all-electric future, Musk is mainly concerned about maintaining Tesla's dominant position in the EV market. 

...

While he's hoping to use Trump to kill of competition in the EV market, Musk is talking up a world of fantastic innovations that Tesla STILL hasn't built yet.

First, he said that Telsa is not a car company; it is an AI company.

Then he promised autonomous robotaxis by August, never mind that Musk has been promising the robotaxi for about a decade.

Then he said the company was making headway with a new humanoid robot called Optimus — never mind that when Tesla unveiled Optimus it was a person dancing in a robot costume, and Tesla still won't say which tasks it can do.

Then he glazed over the product the world really wants: a cheaper Tesla priced at about $25,000 to $30,000. Without providing more detail, he mentioned that those models would start rolling out of factories in the first half of 2025, never mind that Musk has been saying something like that since 2018.

"

Pathetic.
