⚡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.”
👍 Head of Cybertruck Manufacturing Mysteriously Leaves Tesla

"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"
Biden hiking tariffs on Chinese EVs, solar cells, steel, aluminum — adding to tensions with Beijing.
Chinese firms can sell EVs for as little as $12,000. Their solar cell plants and steel and aluminum mills have enough capacity to meet much of the world’s demand.
Oh, it's ok for #Musk and #Buffett to make cars in China with profits in the billions, but we can't save a few bucks and choose which EV we want to buy.
This is very unfair to Americans,
🖕#Musk and #Buffett
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.
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. 😉
‘X has attacked “takedown” requests in Brazil, India and Australia in recent weeks, after authorities demanded the removal of content on the site they deem as illegal or harmful.
‘Its owner, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, has gone further, labelling Brazil’s supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes a “dictator” and Australia’s eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant, a former Twitter employee, a “censorship commissar”.’ #Musk#SpaceKarenhttps://www.ft.com/content/bedde085-f762-44c9-8a0a-1cf81e69a19a
@njwatt@jeremy_list Definitely was worse there, but sad to see some of it here too.
And of definitely there was paid PRC content on the birdsite. China was a top country as a source of revenue for Twitter before #Musk. I would imagine it's even bigger now.
Das gefällt mir sehr, da ist die #Sonne in der Lage, die Geschäfte des #Faschos Elon ##Musk zu stören. #Sonnensturm

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.
