ABC news have decided to take on the "electric cars aren't really better for the environment" misinfo.
The analysis seems to be fairly thorough, and has been tailored to the Australian situation.
Their conclusion is the lifetime CO₂ emissions for a mid-sized electric SUV are at least 2-3 times lower (depending on state) than a comparable petrol SUV, with the difference becoming larger if the owner has solar power at home.
#Musk is a free-speech absolutelynotist.
"This is why right-wing #billionaires sue people reporting on them," continued Collins, who previously worked as a reporter for #NBC News covering, among other thing, right-wing disinformation. "They know they can't win these lawsuits. But they also know legal fees will cripple the little guy reporting on their lies & crimes. This is how free speech is actually chilled—vengeful dipshit billionaires.
"This is the latest example of billionaires & pandering politicians abusing the legal system to retaliate against their critics & harm the public's right to know,"" https://www.commondreams.org/news/elon-musk-media-matters-suit
The #Cybertruck would be more than just the butt of a joke if they'd made the exterior out of "normal" steel and painted it to look like stainless. :blobfoxgoogly: #Tesla
NYT- In a $500 million lawsuit against Elon #Musk, a trial lawyer in New York is leading a litigation team built from the sharpest, funniest tweeters on his feed.
“Twitter was what made it possible for us to get together,” he said. “And now we’re suing it.”
@abulling Habe es mir noch nicht genau angesehen, aber es dürfte ziemlich sicher am Fiat API endpoint liegen. HTTP 500 ist ja ein Internal Server Error. Das passt auch zu dem erratischen Verhalten, das die native Fiat-App immer wieder mal hat. 😉
#Musk has lost a lot of his clout, but his RW rhetoric is harmful to Pres Biden, Dems & #democracy given his SM influence:
Last month, he posted on X that Pres Biden “obviously barely knows what’s going on.” “He's just a tragic front for a far left pol machine"-29th time this year -he'd posted about the pres. on X. By bringing an ideological bent to X, Musk mirrors what media moguls such as Murdoch are doing -helping shape their outlets’ coverage & broader pol discourse. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/elon-musk-ramps-up-anti-biden-posts-on-x/

Remove every one of this MFers subsidies and government contracts. Then maybe he will shut his piehole. 🤬 I don't know who I despise more, this prick or his PayPal bud Thiel. Both "immigrants".
@KimPerales
Lone Skum biting the hand that’s fed him and enriched him for years. If US Gov cancels all SpaceX contracts, Elon would be knee deep in shit. But the dumbass still wouldn’t get it. Fascist gonna talk and support and do fascist things...
After months, I finally started seeing Cybertrucks in real life. I have to hand it to Elon and Tesla: there is some impressive design and engineering here. Specifically, they have created a vehicle that is impossible to photograph, because none of the pictures of this thing convey just how butt-ugly it is in real life.
The first time I saw one, earlier this month, was head-on, parked facing out in a parking structure, and my brain had a hard time resolving it as an object.
@GelatDeTramussos The one I've seen in motion had someone driving and I believe he was in control at the time and just being an inattentive a-hole. The other one was parked, which the only driverless mode I trust Elon with building safely.
