  Here’s the article. Basically he wants to steal computing power from privately owned vehicles when they are sitting idle and then pay those car owners nothing for the power consumption.

  In other words he wants to hijack your Tesla’s cpu and make YOU pay for the privilege

  Translation: Elon Musk desperately searches for buzzwords that will boost the stock of his failing company.

  Is he going to be paying owners for the use of their hardware? Doubtful.

    First mistake: you think you own that thing. Nope. Tesla thinks they still own it. You are just a user who paid big money for the privilege to be a beta tester.

  A rolling, mobile botnet. Can't say that's never been tried before I guess.

  In the perfect world it would be a great thing to do. Old enough people should remember SETI screensaver. But we are not living in a perfect world and I would never buy a car and participate in expenses just to make some rich clown even richer.

  Surely their cars have general-purpose CPUs, not especially suited to the purpose? Don't you need a GPU and gobs of RAM?
