One of the most fascination things I found about Elon is he is an accidental celebrity the guy doesn't try to be famous. I'm serious he doesn't how he presents himself is who he is. Love it or hate it. My take is how can argue with the most successful person in modern history. Speaking of history go back 5 years and read what was being said about Musk the doom and gloom was far, far worse. Things turned out fairly well I fully expect that to continue.

 

I actually think he's autistic, he doesn't seem to make much eye contact. The CEO of our parent company who I mentioned earlier is slightly autistic, and all his children have signs of it. All are brilliant. He exhibits similar characteristics of Elon, except he's in his 60's so has more control. But he occasionally when angry turns into a mini Elon!

 

He admitted he has Asperger's which is a form of autism. It's well known.

 

I never really read to much about him, but it makes sense. Brilliant mind and Asperger's makes a ton of sense. Our companies founder probably has the same condition, he is so much like Elon, except controlled

 

A good read

My experience with people that have said condition (for lack of a better word) excel and critical thinking and generally staying focused. My uneducated guess as to why is the brain is less concerned with social norms (read burdens) this frees up brain power.

 

Well, now I get him

 

If you are on Twitter at all Elon's account is great. I am not on Twitter but still see his tweets here and there this is one of my favourites

 

It is, I just wish it was more than a one trick car and that quality was higher.

The plaid is the first one I somewhat got interested by since it's fast even for the money. However it's too limited for what you pay IMO, used for like 40k would make more sense. The lack of sound and emotion is like living life deaf, that plus the weight kinda forces it into only one role for the money that can be served by a car 1/10th the price at 90% effectiveness. For 140k I would rather get an R8 and add turbos to it

 

Never going to happen with a Plaid. They are always going to maintain near their price point even 10 years from now

 

You can make it a decent time attack car. They used the Plaid in the Pikes Peak runs and it did great with upgraded suspension and brakes.

Of course, it's not that luxurious for the price.

 

Other cars are simply old school. Teslas are the future now. No offense to others, but I find cars I used to love, boring. Each to his own, of course.

 

Accidental celebrity is a bit of a stretch. I don’t think he’d be dating celebrities if he was trying to keep things low key.

 

thread is not about the plaid. closed.
