Elon Musk "We dug our own grave with 'FULL SELF DRIVING"" (www.youtube.com)

I considered hard weather this really belongs in Technology, but came to the conclusion that exposing a scammer that is considered a tech genius, does belong here. Because debunking a technology company is as important as showing it, when it's considered valid.

That said, I believe most people here are already aware that Musk is not to be trusted blindly. But just how bad it really is, may be news to some.

You should look for Last Week Tonight's segment on Elon. I think John Olivers take was fair.

It seemed a bit too fair to Elon Musk IMO. It felt like John Oliver held back the punches.

Oliver completely neglected to cover the fact that Hyperloop was a scam to defraud the Californian taxpayer out of high speed rail. (Elmo wins doubly: through the government grant in Hyperloop and through Tesla car sales.)

Didn't even mention Mastodon once.

I recommend Some More News. Their shows are more in depth, longer, and musk is a 2 parter. Plus there is a third episode on self driving cars alone.

Very measured take on the man and his contributions, both good and bad. I appreciated that he drew attention to the fact that once people have decided you're a net positive, they just explain away anything bad about you.
