Related to Elon Musk. He's looking for workers for his AI team.

Elon Musk said on Twitter on Feb. 2. I "don't care if you even graduated high school," Musk said.

Instead, Musk is looking for those with a "deep understanding" of artificial intelligence. And while, "[e]ducational background is irrelevant," all candidates "must pass hardcore coding test," Musk said.

Musk's expressed his opinion on the unimportance of degrees before.
"There's no need even to have a college degree at all, or even high school," Musk said during a 2014 interview with the German automotive publication Auto Bild about his hiring preferences more broadly.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I think with the vast resources of knowledge available on the internet, college degrees mean very little. Specific knowledge in your intended field is the most important thing. Having been a computer scientist for most of my life, many of the best programmers that I have known never got a college degree. When I hire people I only consider the degree as a tiebreaker between candidates. If their skills appear to be even, I will usually default to the person with the degree because they at least proved they could meet an established goal.

At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Anyone short would have been forced to cover long ago. I see a massive group hoping for bigger idiots. Methinks he smart institutions have and are dumping on idiot public. The President is a fink.

Short-seller interest on Tesla is around $16 billion, with 24.38 million shares shorted, or about 18% of its float. It has been the largest short in U.S. equities, with Apple Inc. No. 2 with about 0.9% of its float.

18% of shares is enormous.

I know I wrote $896 a couple hours ago. Now it's at $928.

Most of those shorts are protected by calls. Only a true idiot with unlimited credit can short naked.

We saw this in 1998 with many dotcoms. I looked at puts but way over my level.

Watch for stories about broke people who drained their home equity to buy in. It will make people move on from this China sick scare.
