Everyone that owns a Tesla, owns Tesla shares or is interested in Tesla should read this interview.

It's eye-opening for many of you, I guarantee you!

"But then they showed up in a courtroom and they say, No, no, no, this is nothing but a driver assistance feature."

Elon claimed that Tesla FSD v13 would be 5-10x better than v12. It wasn't.

Ashok Elluswamy claimed that FSD v13 would be feature complete. It wasn't.

Elon Musk claims FSD v14 will be sentient. It won't.

"The first-of-its-kind study shows that the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to global renewable energy — contradicting industry claims to be pioneers in the energy transition."

Study: Oil companies are not ‘part of the solution’

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.

You know what else fucked the U.S. Soybean Farmers? Your bailout of Argentina that allowed them to drop the export tax on them to zero, thus making them far cheaper for China, which has been buying massive amounts this month. Total clown show.

If one looks at the transactions, it's mainly retail that drives it.

Like every pre-market trading the stock price is clearly driven up by retail investors (check now, it's up 1.33% on nothing).

So it's important for the stock pumping machine to "leak" this information to the public.

Andrea Basso @a4xrbj1.bsky.social · 15h

Well, in true Musk fashion this isn't about addressing a problem, it's about hanging another carrot in from of the Tesla fanboys eyes so that they continue to believe the future of Tesla and that the stock price will be going to the moon.

I wonder what the Republicans in Congress that still pander to this pathetic, vain, deluded, narcissistic, embarrassing old man's every whim must feel when they look in the mirror. The world is laughing at you, USA. It's scared as well of course. But it's still laughing at you.

Donald Trump complains about his picture on the TIME cover on Truthsocial: éh Donald J. Trump & © —
@realDonald Trump
Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story -
about me, but the picture may be the Worst of
All Time. They “disappeared” my hair, and then
had something floating on top of my head that
looked like a floating crown, but an extremely iE
small one. Really weird! I never liked taking
pictures from underneath angles, but this is a
super bad picture, and deserves to be called
out. What are they doing, and why? y

Elon Musk must be really desperate that he goes back to the plan he personally cancelled AGAINST the advice of his 2nd line in command.

Against any common knowledge.

Against the original Masterplan.

The world needs smaller, affordable EV's so we have less Diesel/Gas cars on the road.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Thanks for keeping everyone informed and fighting for Democracy.

Trump also doesn't want to publish the BLS job numbers, as people will find out how bad his unnecessary tariff war is for the US (and World) economy.

He surely doesn't want transparency on the Epstein files, as he's involved.

7/ Democrats need to stand for something right now. And what need, to vote for this budget, is pretty simple and reasonable:

Don't cut people's health care just to pay for a billionaire tax cut.

Don't fund Trump's growing authoritarianism without checks on his corruption.

6/ Sure the House isn't here so Rs don't have to explain why they want premiums to go up and why they want to fund Trump's corruption.

But also because they don't want to swear in member-elect Adelita Grijalva. Since she would be the deciding vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

5/ But here's the even darker kicker.

The House Republicans aren't even in town. Speaker Johnson told them to stay away from DC. They haven't been here in nearly a month. Refusing to show up for work. An unprecedented, unplanned 4 week recess.

And why?

Elon once claimed this about CT mfg and demand:

“"I'd say a quarter million a year is a reasonable guess and it might be 500,000, I don't know. We'll make as many as people want and can afford."”

I hope you answered "We'd rather take the better (meaning higher capacity) batteries from CATL or BYD which offer more capacity for less money. Thank you".

Why pay the middle man? 100% of Tesla's batteries in their energy storage solution comes from China anyways, you should buy the best product.
