Much like his company, it's a copy off of Elon Musk

"If you buy a car that does not have the hardware for full self-driving, it is like buying a horse,”

Edit: This is supposed to be an insult to the Rivian CEO, making the same dumb jokes. Not a state of support to Elon, the whole context around that quote is wrong.

At least horses do have selfdriving if you're going home wasted from the pub.

Full self driving horses that also have built in memory of where home is.
