Five years ago he scammed me out of 7500 euros with the self-driving feature that remains dangerously dysfunctional. (It's sort of the computer vision equivalent of this Twitter regex.)

So I'm not falling for his bullshit again. But I suppose that's why he wants to own the world's biggest megaphone — to ensure he doesn't run out of us suckers.

I don't think I've directly given Elon any money [1], but there was a time that I really wanted a Tesla car, and if I didn't live in NYC I probably would have bought one.

I'm very glad I didn't now, because I'm pretty convinced I would have done this half-baked quasi-self-driving feature and probably be dead, or worse killed someone else.

[1] I own a few ETFs that probably buys Tesla stock, so indirectly sure.

I would not v12.3.3 describe dangerously dysfunctional, but you dont have access in Europe yet.

Hats off for admitting it though, it's worse than owning up to being romance scammed.
