Hanlon's razor says this is stupidity, but I love the thought of a malicious engineer.
I'd like to imagine that an engineer or designer got burned for pointing out issue with the CT, and after that they decided to just "yes man" Elon.
Wanna tow stuff with it, but also have a cast Aluminum frame? Sure thing!
You want capacitive sensors on the exterior of the vehicle? GENIUS!
Reduce weakpoints in the frame by not putting in drain holes? We won't worry about rust because it's made of stainless steel and aluminum? Eureka!
Maybe they all designed the swasticar as a joke / training for what not to do
I am work and cannot click this... I sure hope it is Wimp Lo!
You mean Occam's Razor?
Edit: I've learned there's another variant of the simplicity argument. TIL. Thanks!
Hanlon's Razor is a variant - when human activity can be attributed to malice or stupidity, it is more likely stupidity (or something like that).
Basically most humans are dumb, not evil.
Should have a corollary though that sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from stupidity.
I choose to name this Asidonhoppo's Antecedent (to Hanlon's Razor).
I can't take credit for it, I think I read it on Fark in the early aughts
If Elon can claim to be a founder of Tesla, there's no reason you can't claim this concept.
Basically most humans are dumb, not evil.
Elon Musk is barely human, though, and has done ketamine regularly enough and for long enough to be in full paranoid delusion and psychosis on a regular, if not ongoing basis.
Elon’s Razor: the most likely explanation is that Elon is an asshole.
