Elon Musk just opened a restaurant in Los Angeles. This is the menu.

wow, 1/3 lb is small, I prefer to go to McDo they have the bigger 1/4lb burger!!
/s
- Truly the American way.

Imagine being the richest person on earth and best you can come up with for a new restaurant is the most boring menu at ridiculous prices.
Edit: To be fair tho, gonna need a source on this. Since OP hasn’t provided a link or anything.
- Ridiculous prices? This is pretty much normal in my area, which isn't one of the most expensive places in the country. Boring ass menu though
  
  I was about to say the same, but then realized that none of the entrees include fries. $14 for a burger and fries is not unexpected at your average sports bar, but without fries for a plain Jane burger? I don’t know what the market is like in LA …
  But $12 for four strips of bacon is outrageous, and $5 for this cookie is a slap in the face
  
  Damn. Poor USians. Y’all are getting scammed for shitty food 😭
  
  Yeah prices look normal to me expect for the children's menu. The point of a kid's menu is that it is cheaper because the portions are smaller. I don't understand what they are smoking with the identical prices to the adult menu.
  
  Yeah, most hipster burger places charge more, TBH. In Austin the standard price for a burger is now $16 without sides.

  Fuck they’ve actually created a Nazi Cyberpunk Diner.
  
  The reviews are surprisingly good on Google Maps. For now.
- Thank you! Got down this far and don't see anyone mentioning the fact that this menu feels like they just did word salad on a denny's menu.
- Its a diner menu. He opened a Friendly's. The menu is standard diner options. Prices are also standard market prices.
- You could, I don’t know, google it:

"Yo that's $13 for a hot dog" - Macklemore
- I'm confused on why the burger is only 50¢ more than the hot dog.
  
  Go look at a picture of the burger. Enlightenment will follow

Tesla Burger and Epic Bacon. Very cool, Elon...
He really has the naming skills of an 8 year old.
- Electric sauce!
- Re𝕏taurant

I would never go because Elon is associated with it, but otherwise it's kind of unremarkable. I've seen big chain restaurants with similar prices in the area. My biggest gripe is is that kid's burger is the same price as the adult burger.
- The kids grilled cheese (which is literally just bread and American cheese) is also $13
  
  Obviously the "just price everything at what we think people will pay" strategy.
  
  The adult grilled cheese is cheaper!
- Same.
  The prices seem reasonable albeit still a tad too expensive (my limit is 10€ for street food unless it's something special).
  
  Oh, I'm with you. I just don't pay $13 for a burger. Just because they're unremarkable doesn't mean they aren't dumb.
- The one good thing was the tallow fried french fries. Back in the 70s Mc Donald's fried theirs in beef tallow and they were magical. What the heck is a "Snap O Razzo" hot dog? Nothing really interesting here. I'd rather go to an In and Out burger.

Why they fuck would you take one of the most expensive sources of beef (Wagyu) and make chili out of it?
- Because it sounds nice? Literally, zero chance that is actually wagyu. It would be inedible due to the fat.
  
  Wagyu is still just a type of cow and if you aren’t eating expensive graded cuts it’s not that much more expensive than angus. It’s still pointless to eat in a chili as the whole advantage of it is the marbling
- It's likely American "wagyu" - i.e. unregulated "premium" beef

Yalls care too much about billionaires. This is entirely irrelevant to me. Who cares?
- Buddy the community is called mildly interesting. As in not very interesting. The point is they don't really care about it.

The Boring Restaurant

Remarkably unremarkable

Insipid menu.
Not a lot of things here I don't already make at home.
Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.
Anyone with 2 kids would buy an adult burger and fries and split it between the kids.
- Making chili out of premium beef seems a waste.
  Indeed. 99% of the point of chili is that you can use the lowest grade stuff and it doesn't matter because it just cooks down and gets loaded with spices. Not that I would expect a multicentibillionaire to care about food economy
  
  It still most likely is the lowest grade stuff, just with bits of leftover Wagyu tossed in just so they can call it Wagyu chili.

Surprisingly reasonable for a slightly upscale LA joint. Only issue is ... who the fuck in their right mind would waste actual Wagyu beef in some chili? You can put almost any beef in chili, nobody will notice because it's fully submersed in a stew that tastes like chili. So why use the most expensive beef on the planet for it? Unless it's just fake Wagyu, which tbf, I guess it probably is at that price point. Still a dumb marketing gimmick to anyone that knows anything about beef.
- Restaurants, industry wide have done what Weinerschnitzel has done for decades:
  Take the unused/unpurchased cooked meats and put them into a container in the refrigerator. The next day, grind them up and put them in those stews and chillis.
  It saves money actually.
  
  They're not serving Wagyu anywhere else on their menu, that I recall seeing anyway.
  
  Wendy's uses grill scrapings and unsold patties in their chili. And it is the bomb!

He still doesn't understand who his base is...
No one who wants organic food or can pay those prices likes Musk still
- Does he even have a base anymore? Who hasn't he pissed off?

And of course he's got Martin's on there. Fucking TACO lackey BS.

- Sigh. I had a sinking feeling when it kept mentioning them. Another thing to go on the list to avoid buying

It's weird seeing so many people defending these prices. Their arguments are all I'm getting scammed like this at other places so therefore it's not a scam here. Y'all paying $14 for a Smashburger with no sides y'all getting fucking scammed and shouldn't be paying for it anywhere.
- 4 strips of bacon for $12 is the really crazy one to me idk. It's also weird asf that the burger doesn't come with fries but the kids burger does.

They should be fucking arrested for wasting Wagyu beef in a chili.

I'm seeing the parking lot as a cybertruck meetup, lol
- Might be why he’s doing it. Those sad acts would go for this.

He really doesn't hire graphic designers, does he?
- Even Grok could have done better than that.

Makes you wonder if the ovens will explode like his cars and rockets

Da fuck is New School American Cheese?
- Neoliberal cheese. It takes all the milk from the cow and leaves nothing left.

"It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? Ten dollars?"
- One day very soon she is going to be wrong, but only because that price is too low.

You have to be dumber than a bag of rocks to be a fanboy of a corporate douche. They're mostly tolerable at best.

"all day breakfast" do you see that McDonald's? Donyou see it? That's how to do it.
I don't know what's wrong with the McDonald's breakfast procedure, but McMuffins apparently takes a lot of time. I ordered 8 one time, to feed the family, and the teen went seriously? I can only make 4 at a time, so it's going to take a while
- I've heard that breakfast is kind of a loss leader for fast food chains. It's cheaper than the lunch options and the point is just to get people in the door in the morning and they'll hopefully come back later/another day for more profitable meals. Don't know how true it is, but that would explain the limited hours and them giving you grief for trying to order a bunch.
- Did you tell the teen "Then why the fuck are you talking to me? Get back there and start crackalackin!"
  
  I know it's a joke, but I'd slap a removed if they said that during my shift at a minimum wage job.

"Excuse me waiter, from which minority do you source these meats?"

Why is the kid's grilled cheese $4 more than the adult one? Just because they cut the crust?
- Served with a side of fries
  Maybe?

How long till it burns down?

Mildly concerning.

i want to go once to review it and compare it against other better diners i like in LA, but can i justify giving elon money directly instead of indirectly with my taxes

How do you fuck up biscuits and gravy? The name is the ingredients.
Literally looks like shit:
- First of all, yes, those look like shit. Brown gravy? Square flat bricks that I assume are meant to be biscuits? Just awful.
  But, an over easy or sunny side up egg is always a welcome addition to biscuits and gravy. That's the only thing they got right.
  I really don't get how people screw up the gravy so badly. It's just sausage crumbles in a pan, coated with flour once the fat has rendered (melted) a bit, then adding milk or cream and pepper to your desired consistency and taste respectively. Simmer and add spices until it looks good. Maybe add some minced sage if the sausage doesn't have it already. If you're not starting your gravy recipe for biscuits and gravy with sausage, you're doing it wrong and should be ashamed. It doesn't come from a box. It's not white as a sheet and devoid of spice or flavor. It's not vegetarian. It's not gluten free. It's also not brown gravy, which is made entirely differently using fond to give it the brown color.
  The biscuits are no better. Even Bisquick biscuits from a box would turn out better for most people than these depressing bricks.

Is the 1/3 lb burger a reference to that time when people misunderstood fractions?
- Not everything is a reference. I think they are indeed serving a burger that contains 1/3 lb of beef.
  
  Both can be true though
  
  Yeah, but that's less meat than a 1/4 lb'er...

He stole Sonic's whole swag
Also, Epic Bacon? 😐

I promise everything on that menu is like $10 overpriced.
$13 for a hot dog. Hot dog better be code for a fat blunt for $13
- The hot dog is a little expensive but considering prices in LA these days, most of these prices are actually pretty reasonable. LA is a very high cost of living place now. Wages are far higher than almost anywhere else on the planet.
- Can you still get a good $3 hot dog in NYC?

No thanks! I feel like the Health Inspectors would fail that place...
(If muskrat and PEDOnald were still in love, I'd assume the health inspectors would be losing their jobs next)

Fuck Elon, but man do I love all-day breakfast.

What! No polonium tea????

Tallow fried potatoes? Heart attack venue.

I thought he hated California now and packed up and moved everything to Texas. Anyway, it seems to be about as innovative as any of his other 'ideas'.
