We know we’ll run out of dead dinosaurs to mine for fuel & have to use sustainable energy eventually, so why not go renewable now & avoid increasing risk of climate catastrophe? Betting that science is wrong & oil companies are right is the dumbest experiment in history by far …

Tesla exists to help reduce risk of catastrophic climate change, which affects all species on Earth. Even if your faith in humanity is faltering, this is worth caring about. Support makes a difference. Thank you.

@Anna_online According to divers who have made the passage, yes. However, we also made an exact replica that is inflatable, so that the entire path can be tested without risk of blockage.

@GetMyGist As individuals, we will all die in blink of an eye on a galactic timescale. What can live on for long time is civilization. Those who first go to other planets will face far more risk of death & hardship than those who stay. Over time, space travel will be safe & open to all.

At risk of stating the extremely obvious, I am against threats of violence & abusive epithets in any forum. Please do not use them in my name or at all.

Got to regulate AI/robotics like we do food, drugs, aircraft & cars. Public risks require public oversight. Getting rid of the FAA wdn’t make flying safer. They’re there for good reason. https://t.co/6OXZC3UdMW https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1plPyJdXKIY

@ItchGrid Should be low on our list of concerns for civilizational existential risk. NK has no entangling alliances that wd polarize world into war.

If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea. https://t.co/2z0tiid0lc

Wanted to say thanks to all that own or ordered a Tesla. It matters to us that you took a risk on a new car company. We won't forget.

@__svndee Disruption certainly. Deep AI is the real risk, though, not automation.

@ForIn2020 @waltmossberg @mims @defcon_5 Exactly. Tesla is absurdly overvalued if based on the past, but that's irrelevant. A stock price represents risk-adjusted future cash flows.

@spacecom They are often right, but, in this case, we have already retired so much R&D risk on Dragon 2, that I feel very confident of 2018.

Rocket landing speed was close to design max & used up contingency crush core, hence back & forth motion. Prob ok, but some risk of tipping.

@SpaceX There was a tiny glitch in the motion of an upper stage engine actuator. Probably not a flight risk, but still worth investigating.

Reasons I like tunnels: you still travel in 3D fast, but immune to weather, quiet and no risk cars fall on your head

Flying car pros: travel in 3D fast. Cons: risk of car falling on head much greater, noisy, grounded in bad weather

Abort was caused by oxygen in ground side TEA-TEB. Upper stage on separate internal circuit, so doesn't face same risk.

@RobertGaristo V much agree. Moreover, there is risk of severe non-linearities in feedback loops causing sudden warming.

Exactly. Seems crazy to risk the CO2 chemical experiment when we have to find another solution anyway.

And, since we will run out of oil anyway, why risk the future of all life on Earth simply to delay sustainable energy?
