Indeed. It is just problems on all fronts.

Now Musk could try to buy, say, TMSC and Intel, but, funny thing, he probably does not have enough cash for than and the current owners will very likely not want to sell anyways.

Thanks for confirming that you have absolutely nothing. How pathetic.

That and would ASML even have capacity to sell to him? Somehow I doubt that. Building such a fab is a 10 year undertaking. If you have experience with it. There is no "move-fast-and-break-things" in this space.

Funny. Reusable rockets existed before. EVs existed before and unlike his crap, the other brands do not fall apart after a short time. He does not have self-driving. Others do, with limits, but Musk only has drive-assist and lies.

You really have no clue how things work and it shows.

No. Musk got lucky before and was able to pour a lot of money into some stagnant fields and so some not-very-good engineering. There is zero chance he will be able to do this. This is orders of magnitude harder than anything else he has done and the pool of people that can do this is much, much smaller. He will not even be able to hire the people that can do it for him.

In theory, $20B is just about enough to finance such a fab. But it does not get you the people or the experience or the organization to make it work. This is not even a problem of money. He would have to hire senior people away from TMCS or Samsung and I doubt any of them would even contemplate coming to the US at this time. Oh, and the $20B is just the fab. A fab does not come with chip-design capabilities, that is not its job.

So, yes, this is stock-market manipulation, plain and simple. One of the things that lands regular people in prison if they attempt it.

More like ketamine-induced hallucinations. Musk does not have the skills to do satire.

First, building such a fab, if you know what you are doing and have respective experience, is a 10 year or longer thing. Second, you need people with very specific and very rare skills to build and then operate it. I would be surprised if Musk can even hire those. He would have to hire them away from TMCS or Samsung and these people are likely not even interested in moving to the US, let along working for Musk. Third, you need the equipment. This is exceptionally expensive and there are long waiting times. And then, you need to get things like wavers and these do not grow on trees and the global supply is rather limited and long-term allocated.

I guess this is of the quality of the tech-claims made by DOGE, i.e. completely disconnected nonsense by somebody who has no insight into how technology works.

Your mental temperature is really according to your username, isn't it? I am sure you are unable to do so, but other people can read documentation and feature lists and experiences others made and understand whether they have any problems or shortcomings in their current set-up that would likely be fixed by a move. And I do not have any such issues. Things work fine, everything is reliable and stable, my own init-scripts cause zero problems and everything is just as it should be.

All you are doing is add another reason to not use systemd: The desire to not be with the stupid crowd.

Simple: This way it becomes a scary story and some bogus anti-self-driving story can be pushed. Obviously, this is all rare, irrelevant events and does not even begin to get remotely close to the numbers of people killed by human drivers.

That is why you can always open the doors. Basic safety-engineering. Now, whether the passengers would be smart enough to get out is a different question.

These edge cases basically never happen. The sensationalist way this is reported already demonstrates this nicely. The whole "story" is a non-event.

Indeed. But institutions for the mentally ill costs money, so the US does not do those anymore. Far cheaper to put those people on the streets, and as an added bonus they create fear and make doing politics easier. Funny how basically all of the civilized world does this differently.

I am sure the person making the threats here is the problem. And that this person is not in a closed mental institution. But the US thinks it is cheaper having these people out on the street ...

That is basically the story here. The self-driving car part does not matter. The fix? Start to care for the mentally ill again, even if that costs money. Putting them out on the streets is a very bad idea.
