★ Real Artists Ship, Tesla Edition

#A long time ago, I described Elon Musk as a bullshitter who delivers. This is the perfect expression of that. This car was first shown a decade ago, with another stunt, and it never shipped. Now there’s another stunt, and another huge wave of PR and admiration. But meanwhile, there’s the scaled car company, and the self-landing rockets! Henry Ford was a brilliant industrialist, a terrible manager and a racist piece of shit. Several things can be true at once.
