People aren't buying teslas because of Elon Musk, they aren't buying them because they aren't better than ICE. The target market of drivers who want to virtue signal or tinker with a battery powered toy has already been captured.

It's convenient to blame musk for bad sales due to some lib-media conspiracy to paint him as a right wing nut because they don't like his objection to thought police, but Tesla sales are simple supply and demand.


Actually, if you read the article, you will find that Tesla owners are re-purchasing Teslas at a higher rate than any car maker out there. There are loyalty rate is through the roof. People are buying them, even though they don't like him because they won't go back to an internal combustion engine. Disclaimer : I drive a diesel, so I'm not one of the ones that drives an electric vehicle. But that article is very misleading.

Does Elon hitch his wagon to Trump?
sadly, several of the decisions he has made lately shows he is not firing on all cylinders.

let's hope this is just an idiotic rumor and not something he is actually considering.

if trump wants the white house so badly, why does he not finance it himself. and with his legion of idiotic sycophants, he should have no problem bilking them for dollars either.

It's in Musk's best interest to keep this country from going communist

Brazil after Elon now.

Investigated because banning political opposition wasn't enough, now they want to be able to block the accounts of individual political opponents. Highlights include:

-Incitement of crime

-Public threat of disobedience of court orders

-Future lack of cooperation

-Disrespecting the sovereignty of Brazil

This is the CIA and the transatlantic flank attack on media via Brazil.



Soft power on display, to limit the reach/power of populists globally, and impacting our own of course via the social media platforms. Twitter has been a prime target since Elon Musk divorced it from the censorship industrial complex, largely (though not completely). American players keep their hands clean by using Brazil as a proxy, and after the Irish thought police law went into effect and raised a lot of red flags in Europe for being so draconian, this was an easier play for the time being.

I think that's what we'll start to see at some point.

Platforms blocked at the domain level.

First it was X going tits up because of Elon ownership, but now the EDS is so strong now that technocracy pushing the narrative that Tesla could go bankrupt dispite having the best selling car model world wide.

Protesters storm Tesla Gigafactory in near Berlin. Is this the new face of modern warfare?

Running does seem like it was new to them though. Look like they doing it for the very first time.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/10/business/elon-musk-beats-lawsuit-fired-twitter-workers/index.html

Elon Musk won dismissal of a lawsuit claiming he refused to pay at least $500 million of severance to thousands of Twitter employees he fired in mass layoffs after buying the social media company now known as X.

U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco ruled on Tuesday that the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act governing benefit plans did not cover the former employees' claims, and therefore she lacked jurisdiction.

...

According to the complaint, Twitter's 2019 severance plan called for employees who stayed on after the buyout to receive two or six months of pay, plus one week of pay for each year of employment, if they were laid off.

The plaintiffs Courtney McMillian, who oversaw Twitter's compensation and benefits, and Ronald Cooper, an operations manager, said Twitter instead offered fired employees just one month of pay as severance, with no benefits.

Thompson said ERISA didn't apply to Twitter's post-buyout plan because there was no "ongoing administrative scheme" where the company reviewed claims case-by-case, or offered benefits such as continued health insurance and out placement services.

Elon Musk's X app boosted wild conspiracy theories this week that President Joe Biden had an undisclosed medical emergency and might be dying, despite a lack of evidence to support the claims.
Elon blamed for X users speculating that Biden had serious health problems after he was whisked away due to Covid and goes MIA for several days with no updates to public.

What is wrong with these people? This is truly some Nazi level ***** And it's funny they keep saying disinformation, but I haven't seen much on X that Elon has promoted that isn't true other than stuff from mostly liberals and Democrats. And then usually it gets a community note.

Now I'm not saying there isn't a lot of crazy **** on there that isn't True, but I don't see Elon promoting that and it's the same stuff that was on there when Jack ran Twitter, but they were censoring the right.

Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.
