I can’t imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.
I’d go back and introduce enough backdoors to make them utterly incapable of staying in business. Steal all the documents. Then steal things. Then talk my way into being fired. Then start popping off the backdoors one at a time. Post all the documents for free. Something something shorting the stock.

It’s been sad watching the cult take over all former friends and family. Reason is gone. Logic is gone. All they know is slogans. And since they’re all in the cult, no one ever gets out.
President Joe Biden on Saturday called Donald Trump “clearly unhinged” and claimed that “something snapped” in the former president after he lost the 2020 election....
w/r/t Biden doing for Palestine as a key progressive effort; I think as the NYT article that got posted here a day or to ago spelled out, Biden’s been very much in Bibi’s face behind closed doors, but our favorite college student doesn’t know or care how mideast diplomacy works, or its history, risks, and assumptions.
Frankly, that’s on us for assuming and posting that he “supports genocide”. He does not, and has said so repeatedly. Maybe if Bush(s) had invaded Israel instead of Iraq (y’know, where we know very well they have WMD) and had taken control of that government we’d be able to dictate what we want the way so many seem to think we can, but it doesn’t work so simply. He’s working on it, much more diligently and competently than anyone else who’s running for president is able to.
And frankly at this point, spreading this lie that Biden “supports” the obvious genocidal actions of Netanyahu is exactly the same as what a russian troll trying to divide Democrats, limit turnout, and swing the election to trump would do.
News articles are supposed to be as neutral and factual as possible
That is the conventional thinking, however we can’t remove all perspective from a news article - it’s not technically possible. So the “as possible” part of the statement is really a kind of magic that allows us to presume news agencies are in fact trying to limit any one perspective to the maximum possible while still being recognized as written communication.
But they’re not. Almost all corporate news has an agreed-upon point-of-view that they edit from. This is partially just practicality - if everyone writes to the agreed POV, then they don’t have to edit much. Things move faster when they’re in alignment.
And that agreed-upon-point-of-view is not neutral, although they possibly intended it to be read that way.
Opinion articles are there to let writers loose and say whatever - but make no mistake, news articles have opinions. Consider use of the term “environmentalist”.
As an old, I remember when it wasn’t ever a thing. And I distinctly remember hearing it for the first time - in a newscast. I remember thinking, “what? Who’s not an environmentalist? Does someone not live in an environment?” Sort of like “Oxygenists today said people aren’t breathing”.
But it was being used as a way to separate those who cared about pollution, extinction, and yes climate change, from those who didn’t.
It was envisioned as a “neutral” term - as factual as possible - but it said on the face of it, “environmentalists said …” meaning not us. It was a bias still in use today. Artificial and wielded as needed. Are you an environmentalist? You know - one of them?
