> #ElonMusk had #xAI purchase #Twitter in an all-stock deal, valuing Twitter company at $45 billion – again, far too high of a valuation, but considering he purchased the company from himself, he could set the price at whatever he wanted.

Tesla made $405M last quarter — but only by selling $595M in emissions credits. Musk is not in the car business. He’s a pollution salesman.

As a car company, Tesla is effectively bankrupt. This past quarter Tesla’s reported profits were only $405 million, a profit shown only because Elon sold “emissions credits” to GM and other car companies to the tune of $595 million. In other words, he’s not in the car business, but in the business of selling the right to pollute.

"In short, #Trump's second term has been nothing short of a disaster for the EV maker's bottom line, a bizarre reality considering its CEO has spent hundreds of millions getting him elected."
My neighbor bought an ugly #Tesla #Cybertruck, and it’s too long for their garage, so they back most of it up into their garage opening once every few days to charge the monstrosity (I guess the charge port is in the rear), but park it at whatever random spot is available along the street the rest of the time.
Sounds about right for the kind of chuds who’d buy a fucking Cybertruck, really.
If you drive a #tesla, you're not only fascist supporting asshole, but also stupid and suicidal.
To paraphrase the Dean from Animal House:
"Being a stupid, suicidal, fascist asshole is no way to go through life son."
😂"2 wks into Tesla’s robotaxi prototype rollout on the streets of Austin, TX, a string of viral vids showing apparent mishaps & the severely limited access to the service have caused a cloud of confusion & concern around the vehicles & their safety.
The public knows about the safety incidents involving #Tesla robotaxis mainly because Tesla sent many of the initial invitations to use the service to online influencers, incl people w YT channels or similar vid platforms" https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/tesla-robotaxi-incidents-spark-confusion-concerns-austin-rcna215909
Reasons 4,365 to 4,875 why you'd have to be a dumb as a pile of bricks to buy a Swasticar.
“But while it is one thing to disagree with the political views of a business leader, it is another to be mortally afraid of his products. In the Tesla Files, we found thousands of examples of why such fear may be justified.”
