News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.

I like how he says something like "self-growing city" as though it was a well-solved problem. An engineer the man is definitely not!

But will it have full self driving?

It took a few years, but he now sees the light

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.

It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.

That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

But he doesn't. That tweet is talking about a "self growing city" and 10 years? Everything with him is 10 - 10 times safer, 10 times better. The only 10 is 10 times more lies.
@Thunder Chicken said it perfectly.

Maybe he uses X as a Roman numeral?

Maybe he uses too much Ketamine...

Or not enough.

You know, I did wonder that. It's the sort of dumb thing he'd do "because it's cool" when it's really not.

Yeah, it would be absolutely fitting for "Tony Dork"

Well, there are no roads, traffic laws, pedestrians (that we are aware of), or leaves on the moon or Mars, so if FSD were to happen anywhere I'd think these would be the easiest places to do it.

I'd still bet it would still get confused by snow on Mars, manage to crash into a NASA rover, and/or drive off a cliff into a crater and the Li battery would catch fire.

It could also try to drive 120 mph on Phobos.

EV's are notoriously bad in cold weather and it gets very cold on the moon.

But there is no weather on the moon.... except space weather. Also, moon is one of those few places were only BEVs had been driving.... But how would a stable genius like Musk call a lunar Tesla. Model L?

He already used up Models S,3,X,Y --> SEXY (the stable genius is mentally a 12-year-old). Expect something stupidly meme-y.

Now witness the waterpower of this fully plumbed and operational space bidet!

You have to hand it to them, it does look very shiny until the atmosphere chews it up and spits it out...

These pictures above are the perfect illustration of what 'metalness', as a shader setting is.

The metallic part has 'the sky' for diffuse color, unlike the black part.

The most amazing thing in those pictures are working cybertrucks.
