  • Ferrari marketing boss quits just weeks after EV launch backlash

    Jump

  • Eh, they make boring looking SUVs, and a good chunk of their lineup is just expensive sporty sedans coupes. Not really surprised they’re making an EV, but it’s pretty ugly.

    Guess they wanted a “unwanted stepchild” that couldn’t be associated with the design style of the rest of the fleet. They certainly succeeded with that.

    Edit: apparently I’ve woken the Ferrari fans.

    The Purosangue is an SUV. A sedan can be either two or four door for the record. You’ll have to forgive my casual use of “sedan”, it should be coupe or similar.

  • The secretly don’t want to manufacture them so they make them look like shit?

    Obviously they can be made to look normal, the Ford Lightning & Mach E, Lucid, Polestar, and even a Tesla all look pretty normal and arguably some look really nice. But ask a mainstream manufacturer to make an EV car and they look stupid half the time. The Prius finally doesn’t look like it’s trying to virtue signal with its ugliness, so designs can be improved too.

  • They were called foursquare balls, too. I don’t think anyone plays that game anymore.

    Edit: quick look around online and some are indeed called “foursquare” balls.

  • Ah, good job. Now you’ve swung to insults. That’ll win ya. Guess you need everything explained to you. Your argument is attempting to force a point against what society has deemed what monetary worth is.

    You’re not gonna win that argument, but feel free to bang your head on the keyboard uselessly while you attempt to bend the world to your will.

    Not only that, but you have moved the goalposts from “billionaires are still worth money even if it isn’t all in cash” to “they can’t possibly cash it all out so it doesn‘t count.“ A real strawman that has no bearing on how wealth works. So your “truth” is irrelevant.

  • Understanding this level of finance is not hard and I don’t understand what you’re trying to prove or your resistance to it.

    What a billionaire is doing is no different (as a radical simplification to make it easy to understand) than a normal person taking a home equity loan. Your argument is that “the home isn’t real” and that’s the same as saying “SpaceX isn’t real”. The home’s value can fluctuate thanks to the real estate market, or whether or not the owner does a good job maintaining and upgrading the home. SpaceX can suffer market fluctuations and be well managed or suffer bad decisions. The money leveraged on the values of these investments is real.

    As far as what you just said I can tell that you haven’t thought one step further than making the statement, I am pointing out how the money is real. We’re done here, you plainly want to be right rather than learn how the system works.

  • Yes, it can fluctuate due to market value,

    I literally stated that possibility.

    What are you saying? Are you trying to make some financial hot take? Are you trying to still imply it’s not worth real money? Won’t anyone think of the poor trillionaire who is now only simultaneously worth/not worth hundreds of billions? The path you’re going down leads to “is any money real money?” and adds nothing to the conversation.

  • Stop.

    This “billionaires don’t have any real money” is ignorant.

    The investments have value, the value is leverage and loans, those are power and money. Yes, it can fluctuate due to market value, but nonetheless that’s what billionaires are worth.

    It’s real money.

  • Federal Workers Can’t Get the White House’s App Off Their Phones

  • This. Too many people view work devices as “Free [ipad, laptop], bro!” and use it for all sorts of personal stuff.

    It’s not yours. The company can take it at any time, or if remotely managed, view device contents at any time. If any of that material is against company policy or illegal, you’re probably gonna be disciplined or fired.

    For most it’s probably NBD. Corporate won’t care if you’re just some mid-level lackey watching Netflix on the company device.
