I met Elon's brother Kimbal Musk a bit ago and after he got done blabbing about how they were illegal immigrants having overstayed their student visas, living on Jack-in-the-Box everyday, while creating PayPal...he went on to talk about Tesla. He said the growth depends entirely on their ability to produce batteries.

Looks like their solution is the Gigafactory under construction in NV...."With a planned production rate of 500,000 cars per year in the latter half of this decade, Tesla alone will require today’s entire worldwide production of lithium ion batteries."

Elon Musk was an illegal? And now he's every pseudo-intellectual conservative's celebrity mancrush? I need to google this before I throw it my my Trump-voting relatives' faces.....

Ummmm.... http://www.snopes.com/elon-musk-illegal-immigrant/

Well, I still might throw it in their faces, for fun, when I'm drunk. Because Trump voters tend to get hilarious when you hold a lighter too close to their straw men.

Those kind of arguments are irritating from either side.

Don't tell me anecdotes. Show me stats.

Statistics proving illegal immigrants benefit or hurt the USA? Dude, you can find so many statistics supporting both sides of that argument. T

he USA is what, 15% foreign born, 14% legal and 1% illegal, and is home to 20% of the total immigrants in the world. (Not including refugees.) We are by far the most immigrant-friendly country in the world. Are we doing as well as the least immigrant-friendly developed countries, Iceland, Japan, and Switzerland? Maybe, yes, and no, respectively.

That's pretty much how all the statistical arguments proceed on this particular issue. So why even try? My first job was for a Chinese-born boss who came legally, my fourth for a Lebanese-Guatemalan boss who came semi-legally, my first real writing job for a Mexican-American who came here 100% illegally. So I know where I would be, anecdotally, without illegal immigration, and that's unemployed

So I'm not concerned with statistics. I'm just trying to troll Trump voters now, for lulz, because it's not going to be nearly as fun after he wins.

Lots of people are part of the problem, but I doubt much hinges on me declining to drag out the same stats you've already read scores of times - illegal immigrants have lower crime rates, pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits, save more, invest more in their children's education, etc etc etc etc etc, than people born here. Besides, this isn't Eurasia, it's the Americas, we've got more breathing room, and more cultural similarities, than the Old World. We can handle it.

On a related note, this is a pretty good speech, if you've got 17 minutes and can stand Angelina Jolie.

If I didn't know what to think I'd probably ask the daughter of an actor married to an actor who is an actor to explain the world to me. Otherwise I'd rather stick a fucking dildo in my eye repeatedly until I had earned my fuckwit badge. Angelina Jolie-Pitt, and all her ilk can piss up a fucking rope. Fuck them and the limos they rode in on. Cunts.

Wait. We're honestly at a point where you're legitimately trying to defend mud slinging against rationality?

Honestly?

WTF? Which fool broke into my house and released a djinn? I love Angelina and take it all back. Have donated £50 to the swear box (Save the Children in this case).

I have a mate who guarded the Pitt family for a couple of years. She's a fucking window licker that woman, honestly, and he's seen them all

I'm no environmental scientist, or automotive engineer. All I know about Teslas is that the roadsters are fun and weird to drive. Not as fast as some other cars I've borrowed, but the I can see why so many people like them. The oddest thing about it is that it has no gearbox like we are used too. No momentary gap in acceleration as gears change, it just keeps going. Very cool but very distracting.

PATOUULI stinking hippy cars! A product of the liberal tyranny that brought you the Lada, another commie car.
