No, like consumption tax. Pretty sure that can't be gamed.

Don't forget the story said an assistant wrote the memo. It's very possible Musk said "print" in the programmer sense - like "print to console" - and the assistant misunderstood.

What about the brands that use Taiwanese ODM manufacturers like Foxconn? I think Asus is one of them. Or Samsung made in Korea.

I have seen local distributors add stickers on the keys. The layout is a little bit different but it's not so bad.

Many famous scientists, engineers or industrialists who moved the world forward in the past were racist or total Nazis. Today, many otherwise extremely smart people exhibit the same behavior as Musk, you just see it publicly in his case. I see it a lot in high level academia circles. The antivax and other conspiracies during Covid got a lot of help from very intelligent people, in my state the leader of the highest rated university got involved in that, for example.

You shouldn't mistake his Twitter feed for straight and full approval... He often trolls or merely thinks there might be some basis of truth in something, and sometimes he blurts out in anger. Again, in his case you just see it publicly.

Not defending him, it's weird and terrible and took a sharp decline after his breakup. But it's not so unusual.

Yes, I have the misfortune of being on web meetings and telephone all day, every day. Even the comparatively very simple projects I work on move forward the most during our on-site meetings - and I don't mean the technological side, that's what we do after the on-site, it's exactly the parts where Musk would have most input that feel stuck online and everyone feels like we unblocked our minds and collaboration on-site.

There is a direct relationship between fuel usage and carbon dioxide. It's very simple to tax fairly.

I don't like Musk very much since he went nuts post breakup with his GF. But he does have meaningful input, technical design is not the only thing - other companies like Boeing, Blue Origin or Ariane have great engineers too, seems like technical design is not the most important part.

Yes, I do. People working with him in SpaceX have said so. And in the other cases, his leadership, financial, business, product and marketing input is still a necessary part of the project that directly influences the technical decisions.

I really want to see you design rockets, robots and brainchips using email.

Taylor Swift could have livestreamed on YouTube.
