To be fair, lol, "less off putting than Elon Musk" is a pretty low bar.

The guy that masterbates in the alley outside the AMC Fashion Valley 18 is legitimately less offputing than Elon Musk. No, I am not kidding. I'd rather encounter him than Elon.

Who else would you all rather encounter than Elon Musk? Share!

But then again, so is chlamydia.

I'd legit rather have chlamydia than meet this guy. Fuck this guy. I hope he never comes anywhere near me.

What a stupid, useless toy.

designed to help people at home

No they weren't lol. They're nothing but a gimmick. I know there's a lot of good programming in there... but I doubt it solves any problems. It's basically a walking NFT.

Weren't them also partially fake, as not completely autonomous?

Everything that Elon designs is made for ONE purpose ONLY: for him being able to sell it.

If you are asking isn't that the same with all products?

Well, most normal products are made to be useful. Regarding sale, they are meant to sell themselves because they are useful.

Then there are some kinds of products that need professional sellers (industrial machines, 'special' brands of kitchenware...). But here it is restricted to the person Elon, yes, he himself. If he believes in it, he makes it, and everything else does not count.
