It's worse than that, he sees it as a bug, not a feature.

The most interesting take I’ve seen from economists is the world potentially turning its back on the US. Rather than fighting like rats in a sack as Trump wants everyone just says “fuck you” and deepens trade without the US at the table. This is entirely possible and would result in US decline acce...

Over here there are extra standards that relate to doing less damage to things you might hit, like pedestrians. Whether the size of a cybertruck factors into that I'm not sure, but I ...

They're the stupidest looking cars on the road. I think it's hilarious that the cybertruck is not for sale in Europe. I guess Trump and Musk will try to annex Europe, tear down all the old towns and rebuild with wider streets. For clarity (and you may well already be aware) but the reason they aren...
