⚡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.

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. 😉
