lmao, I’m Mexican. Pointing out the last name is Mexican being the reason it’s the same for both of them in a silly way doesn’t make it racist. It makes sense that we try to be watchful of actual racism, but it also makes sense to not go overboard, we lose support, sow division, and waste energy that way

Just because you’ve adapted to the lies doesn’t make them ok, nor the best version of what is possible

Negative hype can kill a product that could have been good.

Positive false hype can deceive people into wasting money.

Sure, complete honesty would be ideal, but if you say “well it sucks right now but we promise it will be ok when you buy it”, not many people would rush to order one.

And they shouldn’t. It’s just another way of saying “people acting rationally based on truthful information”

Many good products never made it to market because of insufficiently good perception.

That should be a separate issue. It’s not the only available path, just one often taken because it’s the most forgiving of shoddy business practices, doesn’t justify its existence, either.

On the flip side, creating positive hype out of smoke and mirrors can be used to kill a competitor’s product for no good reason, so it’s not quite ok either.

I think people are starting to realize the depth of corporate deception and bad-faith practices and how that affects everyone at large, and so they’re rightly tired of them and trying to reset it all back to simple, effective, and fair ethical standards.

yeah, hiring her as his assistant isn’t ideal as the risk to the company, but in terms of nepotism, it doesn’t sound as bad to me as the CEOs that will make someone a director over an entire department just because they’re banging (have seen this irl)

I seriously doubt the majority of comments come from men. That it’s what they fixate on, is a different matter.

Maybe you never matured. Maybe you’re regressing. Who knows.

It’s high-school level dynamics, regardless

they also might be mediocre, or much worse. Given Tesla’s record of bad/rushed design and manufacturing processes (see: bad panel alignment; bad chassis engineering; janky bandaid fixes like random hardware store supplies making it into their cars; failed and costly manufacturing automation mistakes; etc.),

And Musk’s record of using the same trick of dangling a new gimmick to fix cash flow over and over (make wild new promise to create hype, while not delivering on the old ones, see: hyperloop, full self-driving feature, etc)

And how he’s been steadily going off the deep end for years (gestures generally)

I don’t really have hope that this isn’t the ludicrous gimmick it stinks of.
