If, after looking at the Annex website, it takes you longer than 10 seconds to figure out it's a scam, I have some investment opportunities for you.
On a serious note, take a look at the CPU picture on the front page, it' clearly a photoshopped Ryzen 5 (AM4 is visible in the top right). The text on the CPU is also hilarious; CPU: single node with 128 core, 256 CPUs and 512 GB of memory. It' also diffused in GArmany, not to be confused with GErmany.
So yeah, a 100% scam, contact me about those investment opportunities if still in doubt about this one.
Because it's cheaper to have them shipped to a third world country, where there is little to no environmental regulation and worker protection, then the alternative.
Cars aren't consumer electronics. Ordinary people don't just throw them away—they are usually traded-in to dealers—and most companies don't have big fleets that get replaced every few years, like companies replace their computer systems and other devices.
Car parts are overall more expensive, and installation, replacement and even disposal happens through specialized entities, typically. Most maintenance work is done by manufacturers or dealers themselves.
In other words, it's not inevitable that car battery systems would necessarily be sent overseas the same way that consumer electronics are when they reach end of life. With lower volume and more centralization, regulation will be easier to implement and enforce. And the economics may also make it cheaper for initial recycling to be situated in the originating country as well, given that the parts are more valuable and given the economies of scale that emerge from centralized reclamation networks.
Already in the US there is a healthy industry of third-party businesses that will replace hybrid car batteries and reclaim the old systems for refurbishment. Most of the reclaimed systems are refurbished and re-used.
There's no reason to think that with proper regulation and standardization an efficient & environmentally-safe reclamation market cannot emerge in first-world countries, preventing car battery waste from spilling over to third-world countries.
What exactly has Hyperloop "achieved"? It offers the same benefit as Maglev with massively inflated costs and far less comfortable passenger experience.
I didn't ask which companies he has/had a stake in, I'm asking what the supposed positive achievements for humanity are? Don't bother, there really aren't any.
Musk is not your real-life Tony Stark, he's a real life Hugo Drax.
> I'm asking what the supposed positive achievements for humanity are? Don't bother, there really aren't any.
Why such contempt? To infer that Starlink, Tesla and SpaceX are not positive achievements for humanity is a bit cretinous.
More importantly. What positive achievements have you done? The likely answer is that Musk or any founder which company is publicly traded (not including social media ones for obv reasons) are a net positive for the world compared to you.
I find it fascinating how people watching from the sidelines love to dunk on entrepreneurs. They also seem to be always angry at the world.
The quote "Comparison is the thief of joy" by FDR has never ringed more true.
