Elon open source patents

[55dawg]

For electric vehicles. Hoping that others are able to use for the good of humanity. And yes he’s a climate alarmist. Doesn’t sound like a man interested in stealing from the people. Sad that so many in this country don’t recognize and appreciate his contributions.

The hypocrisy … it’s just staggering.

Back this truck up 2 years and read what the Chat Chorus was singing about Elon in particular and his government subsidized businesses in general.

Hilarious.

Link(s)?

Serious request. You say it happened...prove it. Two years ago: surely there has to be some overwhelming evidence of what you claim.

 

[KidneyStoned]

I don’t think there are “links” to previous posts on here. We should all be glad of that.

Anyone suggesting that Elon Musk and/or his business interests were somehow popular on here before he bought his current position … I can’t argue against that level of dishonesty.

You never heard a word from me. Although I do think the eventual conversion to EV’s will be great, yes I disagreed with Bidens actions in an attempt to push EV’s prematurely. But that had nothing to do with my post. Ironically my post was about your hypocrisy.

You can literally search posts by keyword, poster, and sort by date.

You made a declarative statement. Prove it. Surely, you can find something that would prove "...the Chat Chorus was singing about Elon..."

There is a magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner. Use it.

You can find a fairly powerful search function here ----> link

If it was as widespread as you claim (and not a post or two here and there), then I assume you'll make me look silly. Let's not try and reframe your statement. Here is your chance:

Prove it.

Search engine took me all the way back to summer of 24 when I plugged in Musk, or Tesla, or SpaceX.

Until he purchased Trump, he was very unpopular on the Chat. That’s a fact.

Well, it has posts all the way back to 2015. So, maybe your claim isn't what you made it out to be?

"...Chat Chorus..." and all. I'd assume you'd have something if your claim had any factual backing.

Maybe not.

 

[KidneyStoned]

Search it then. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. Let’s see the results you get.

You are arguing that Elon was respected on the Chat before he bought Trump …. I’m out, that’s beyond bullshit.

You want me to prove your point?

I never made any argument or "argued" anything. I only asked you to prove yours and bring a single bit of evidence for your claim.

The only "bullshit" is, apparently, your post. Run away, I guess. That's pretty common when someone's been called out for "all hat, no cattle."

I do remember Tesla paying back its government loan almost 10 years ahead of schedule.

So, one short thread, 7.5 years ago...with no posters I've seen much around here. One of the three posts in that thread was actually defending Musk.

Great job.

So, a discussion about Biden's EV mandate is somehow a "Chat Chorus" of anti-Elon talk? You were literally the main one mentioning Elon Musk in that thread, outside of another account that apparently no longer exists.

You aren't making the point you think you are.

You’ve got a pretty serious Elon crush working. Like the videos. That takes an odd level of … something.

You win, I guess.

Paid the loan back with subsidy $$ …

Where did I defend Elon?

Again: ALL I asked was for you to defend your point. That's it. You made a claim and epically failed to defend it, when to.

"Sticky Hands"? Thank you for highlighting how badly you failed to support your point in this thread. You probably should have stuck with your "I'm out..." instinct.

But, again, I'll still open for any evidence of what you claimed in this thread.

That was a dumb remark on my part. I edited and apologize. But my point remains the same and I stand by it.

Thank you, but I'll point out again that I haven't defended Musk yet in this thread. That will now change, because your subsequent post is at best misleading.

Elon Musk paid back Tesla’s $465 million government loan way ahead of time, demonstrating Tesla's success.

You claim “subsidy money,” but he really paid it off with cash from selling stock and Tesla’s own earnings. Sure, Tesla made money from things like regulatory credits, but that’s just Elon playing the game well, not a free handout. Plus, the government got interest on the loan, so taxpayers actually made money. Tesla’s growth under Musk created jobs and pushed electric cars forward, proving he didn’t just lean on government help, but made it a win for everybody.

Are you really arguing against that?

No I’m really not arguing against that.

My attempt at a point was that Elon, Tesla and SpaceX were universally disliked on here until he financed Trump’s campaign and bought the position he currently holds as overseer of our government.

Ok. But, that's why I challenged your assertion. Was there some "right" push against Elon, historically? Yes. I absolutely read some of that, elsewhere. Most of it was prior to Tesla's expansion from "test-ish" vehicles to expanding commercial production. What I remember was universal praise for him, once Tesla was proved to be commercially viable, regardless of his politics.

But, you asserted that there was some "choir" of anti-Musk posts here, on the Chat. All I asked was for you to support that statement. I don't think that the "right" here on the Chat cared that much about him. I certainly don't think he was "universally disliked".

I think you're projecting. But, I could be wrong.

Thus, my request for "proof".

 

[BlessedDawg]

I’ve been around a long time. I’ve always thought Elon was highly regarded by the right simply because he flipped Twitter from a left wing propaganda media site and gave it free speech as X.

 

[The Original SLC Dawg]

Actually, Musk was a curiosity a couple of years ago here. Kind of made fun of because the liberals were pushing to make internal combustion illegal and we’d be forced to buy EVs and at the same admired for SpaceX. I understand that leftists hate him for working for Trump now. They used to love him. The only use that liberals have for him now is to use SpaceX to bring in more illegals to vote in presidential elections in swing states. Too bad their white guilt drives them to these positions. Anyway, we made to NCAA tournament!
