⚡Tesla's Supercharger Changes Tell the EV Industry: Fend for Yourselves
— Business Insider
"I got a bounce from every email address," said Andres Pinter, a co-CEO of Bullet EV Charging Solutions, which has about a dozen projects underway for Tesla. Other contractors, he said, may be in trouble if they don't have non-Tesla projects to fall back on."
🧠 Exclusive: Musk's Neuralink has faced issues with its tiny wires for years, sources say
— @Reuters
"The company knew from animal testing it had conducted ahead of its U.S. approval last year that the wires might retract, removing with them the sensitive electrodes that decode brain signals, three of the sources said. Neuralink deemed the risk low enough for a redesign not to be merited, the sources added."
"Elon Musks Medizintechnik-Unternehmen Neuralink hatte in der vergangenen Woche zugegeben, dass sich bei seinem Gehirnchip Drähte des Chips im Kopf seines Trägers gelöst hatten. Laut einer Recherche der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters war dem Unternehmen dieses Problem seit Jahren bekannt."
Very amusing 4-minute video by Robert Reich about how Musk and Bezos want to dismantle government protection for workers.
Quote by RR:
"14 mei 2024
Nothing tells you how important unions are like corporations controlled by the richest men on earth suing to dismantle the government agency that protects the right to organize."
Tesla is being sued by the Environmental Democracy Project, which alleges “ongoing failure to comply with the Clean Air Act” at the company’s assembly plant in Fremont, CA. The Bay Area Air Quality Mgt. Dist. previously said Tesla has allowed “unabated emissions” in Fremont. CEO Elon Musk is telling investors these days to think of the company “almost entirely in terms of solving autonomy.”

"Last month, every single Cybertruck that had been sold in the US was even recalled over a serious design flaw that can cause the massive pickup's accelerator pedal to get stuck."
🌊 Coolant Starts Pouring Out of Brand New Cybertruck After Driving 35 Miles
— @futurism
"While supercharging, coolant started pouring out of the rear of the truck. Called Tesla service. First they told me they don’t cover coolant leaks under warranty. After a few choice words they said they would send a tow truck"
Der Messenger #Telegram ist für eine sichere Kommunikation nicht geeignet - standardmäßig sind die Nachrichten nicht einmal Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt. Besser geeignet sind #Signal oder #Threema. Übrigens: Elon Musk ist das Paradebeispiel eines Trolls. Einfach ignorieren. 😉
So, TL/DR: #Tesla is cutting 20% of its workforce to save money, but also spending money by paying #ElonMusk to advertize to Tesla shareholders on #Twitter to get them to vote to give #Musk $55B in stock.
Das gefällt mir sehr, da ist die #Sonne in der Lage, die Geschäfte des #Faschos Elon ##Musk zu stören. #Sonnensturm
Satelliten-Internet - Sonnensturm führt zu Beeinträchtigungen bei #Starlink
I rarely look at Twitter these days but logged in on an account and got instantly met with Musk, Fox and Rowling. I am so very glad Mastodon exists… #twitter#musk#mastodon
"Fun" fact: #ElonMusk's compensation plan, expected to be approved by the combination of retail shareholder enablers and the fact that many major market funds don't vote their shares, would be enough to pay 6-figure salaries to all ~14000 recently laid-off employees for 40 years.
"The first invasive brain chip that Neuralink embedded into a human brain has malfunctioned, with neuron-surveilling threads appearing to have become dislodged from the participant's brain, the company revealed in a blog post Wednesday." #Musk
US-Milliardär #Elon#Musk auf Kuschelkurs mit rechten Parteien wie der #AfD?
... er würde von einem Erfolg der angeblichen Patrioten vermutlich mehr profitieren als "der kleine Mann" in Deitschland.
#Musk has made no secret of his interest in the far-right Alternative for #Germany (#AfD).
The party’s co-leader Alice #Weidel invited Musk to her office after the #Tesla co-founder criticized an extremist Muslim group that held a demonstration in #Hamburg. “Surely demanding overthrow of the government in Germany is illegal,” Musk had written on the platform #X, which he owns.
"US prosecutors: examining whether Tesla committed securities or wire fraud by misleading investors & consumers about its EVs’ self-driving capabilities. Tesla’s Autopilot & Full Self-Driving systems assist with steering, braking & lane changes -but aren't fully autonomous. While #Tesla has warned drivers to stay ready to take over driving, the DOJ is examining other statements by Tesla & Musk suggesting its cars can drive themselves." https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-autopilot-probe-us-prosecutors-focus-securities-wire-fraud-2024-05-08/
#EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry #Breton slapped down a last-ditch German effort to suspend the #IRIS2 satellite communications network — a European rival to #Elon#Musk's #Starlink system.
#Germany's Vice-Chancellor Robert #Habeck, who also serves as economy and climate minister, wants to delay the launch due to worries over what he called an “exorbitant” price tag.
