You need to go look up the definition of irrational. He's an awful human only eclipsed by his farther. Also he's not done anything, by all accounts he is more of a pain then anything else.

Oh the cycle begins again I see.
Ford literally did this a week ago.
These top AI researchers are just investment bankers. So no, not real people
Right so go build a space elevator because little old Elon is not going to fix that no matter what he tells you. Even if you could get starship working you need something with 100 times the lift capacity.
Basically they're trying to build a data centre where the most expensive part of the data centre is the building itself which is completely not how it's supposed to work.
Completely different level of difficulty.
And be pedantic self-driving cars are not a solved problem. If you try driving a Tesla in autopilot and don't intervene when it makes mistakes you'll be in a wall within about 2 minutes.
Building data centres in space isn't just a technical problem, although it's a major technical problem, it's also an economic problem. Obviously yes it's physically possible to do it but there's no way of building a data centre in space for anything close to the price of just doing it on earth and with no other obvious advantage to it being in space there's no reason to do it.
It's the same reason we don't build a transatlantic railroad tunnel. Obviously it's technically possible it's just a very long tunnel, but it would be hella expensive.
Well that's investors fault for believing him isn't it. The biggest thing ever put up in space is the international space station we don't even have the capability to do that anymore. How did they think he was going to build a data centre in orbit? Which of course is completely ignoring all the other technical reasons wouldn't work.
It's easier to teach data centre engineers to be astronauts than teach astronauts to plug in a SATA drive
Not just experts but an 11-year-old with a mild interest in space could have explained to these techbros why this wouldn't work as an idea.
Yeah well even the YouTube app doesn't support it.
I have an app that emulates LEDs with the always on display.
Linux users are the sort of people who will tell you that vinyl just produces superior sound quality. It's a sort of cult really.
Linux systems are fine but they are hardly the pain free, "it just works" solution that the community likes to constantly claim that it is.
