There is a truly excellent piece today in the NYTimes about Tucker Carlson. This, apparently, is what Elon has been drawn into. BTW, for the record, I have a lot of criticism myself about the NYTimes and NPR. Some of their reporting is excellent, some very biased. I'm an old-school liberal and...

LOL! I meant the other stick meme, but this one is brilliant.

I've read that, of course. I don't know if these numbers reflect Tesla post-Twitter. JB is, of course, great. It's a pity Hiro stepped down.

The devil in me hopes he turns on Tesla. New hires will plummet in numbers and quality, if that has not already happened, and existing employees will mutiny. The board will FINALLY have to do something. This will lead to his separation from the company. He will go into exile, whereupon he will...

Elon could have paid Ecuador to save the rainforest. Even a year ago, 15 years after the initial proposal, when he did have the money, he could have sent them a few billion. Seeing no other way to make money, basically, and indebted to China, Ecuador is now moving in on this...

I just want to go back to the days where, in response to a question, he would look up to the sky, at a slight angle, and you just knew that something crazy was going to come out of his mouth. Something like: yeah, we should make a cybertruck, or we will get to mars early next year. Because...

Yes.

You're missing the point. Most people here have spent years arguing with FUD such as 'Elon got all his money from the Govt.' or 'emerald mine'. We ALL get help from one another. Tesla benefitted from loans, which it paid back early, as well as from public education and infrastructure. It used...

And that's the stuff that's not too disgusting to show...because there's worse...

I mean, how could anyone other than 'haters' (aka long term Tesla owners, shareholders and fans) possibly object to this:

There is no hate speech on twitter.

Incidentally, on a topical note, it is perhaps fitting that the leader who rescued us from slavery (to the ICE Pharaohs) will wander in the desert and not see us all the way to the promised land. But this time, we don't have 40 years to procrastinate.

Well, I voted to remove Elon. Ten years of being all in on The Mission, and it has come to this... I'm sure this will be incomprehensible to people who don't understand nuance and can do nothing but throw childish taunts at everyone who is troubled by his behaviour. "Haters"! "TslaQ"! This is...

Bill Maher had a good bit about the Tucker Carlson footage that Elon liked so much:

It's gotten too dark for me. I'm quitting Twitter. Hope someone will move to oust Elon from Tesla. Not sure if to start divesting myself of Tesla shares. I'd rather Tesla divest itself of Elon. As someone mentioned above, it's almost as though he's been asking to be fired. Personally, I've...

I loved your entire post. But especially this last bit. I can think of only one person, someone in power, who mocked people for their disabilities and, even more unthinkably, for being a POW. I wish Tesla would fire Elon. I do not know how that could happen, but I would cast my shares in that...

The weird thing is that he does not care that much about money. He did use to care about being loved, but seems to no longer care. It would be hard to do things as badly as he has if you really tried. The entire world is now talking about how he mocked and bullied a disabled worker. I could...

It's not real. Just a rough first draft I jotted out. Not super introspective and certainly not detailed, but a good start, I thought. When people speak of apologies, that's an example of an apology that means something, even if it leaves something to be desired.

"I would like to apologize to all my employees across all my companies. It is not cool to shame employees, and certainly not publicly. I hate bullies. I was bullied as a kid. Reflecting upon what I've done here, well, you can imagine that I don't feel good about it. Furthermore, I know that...

It's muscular dystrophy, not Multiple Sclerosis, but with that aside... I guess I had decided the twitter problem was fading...and then there were questionable political tweets yesterday...then this. I feel ill. Inexcusable on any level.

LOL. I’m a girl human.

I watched the video twice trying to find the feature he was talking about. A charging icon? Something else on the screen? The charge port? Then I got it… 🙂

Saw this now via Elon’s tweet. I must say that other than the Rivian this is the first non-Tesla EV that looks really appealing. Plus, I like Kevin Bacon. 🙂

First time I've felt optimistic in a long time. Real happy. Such a bold, audacious, brazen, assured, brave, confident, courageous, daring, dashing move. There's hope after all.

Very well said. Also, pretending like die hard fans, owners and shareholders who are appalled by the new direction Elon's tweets have taken are TSLAQ or similar is simply gaslighting of the first degree. When someone has done great things, in Elon's case built the best, most innovative, most...

It's just that I've seen over my career some people who seemed irritating or obnoxious, and unlike their usual selves, and this was subtle, and maybe it's their personality anyway, and maybe it's just stress, and maybe this and maybe that...till you discover - surprise! Multiple hypodense areas...

Agree 100%. I too do not understand why he is acting this way. I keep wondering if there is an undiagnosed and untreated medical issue at play. It simply does not make sense.

I wonder, BTW, if there is anything that Elon might say that would be a step too far, even for the impotent BOD. So far he's flirted with Alt-right and Neo-Nazis. He's reinstated their accounts with vigor and given them a far wider reach, yet has chosen to amplify their comments by responding...

I don't understand why anyone is still working at Twitter, aside from people trapped by visas or other personal circumstances, such as illness in the family. Elon won't stop this madness on his own. Something is wrong with him. It's infuriating. As far as his involvement with Tesla goes, he...

We can only hope that, like 'catturd' himself, the other goblins will say something that will finally wake Elon up to their true nature. I still feel he's been seized by a fever of sorts, and I still hold out hope that this fever might pass.

I'd not heard of Tate and Cheung till now, and had only a very vague notion of who KimdotCom is. I'd never even listened to Kanye, ever. To think that following Elon has led me to become familiar with all these loathsome or at least very troubled characters with racist views, well...

It's not, in general, that he has this or that position, or that he holds a belief about some topics in one direction or another. It's that he expresses these beliefs publicly even when silence would be far better. It's that he does so incessantly, in an immature way, seemingly agreeing with a...

Kristallnacht. I feel sick. I'm done.

How many billions did Elon get from his TSLA sales? How much does he still need to pay off the Twitter purchase? Anyone know?

KimDotCom said that on December 3rd. Since then Elon has interacted with him many times, even chatting with him on Twitter Spaces. I didn't listen to it, but here the link for reference:

This is who Elon is responding to. Not once, but many times. This anti-semitic criminal is who Elon is listening to. If you don't understand how chilling that statement is, please read up on Anti-Semitic tropes. I don't know what's wrong with Elon, But I'd like him gone from Tesla. Enough is...

The question now is if Elon's reputation can ever be salvaged after the way he's behaved at Twitter. And if Tesla can continue, can regain its positive glow, can thrive, with him at the helm. I think the only way for this to happen is for Elon to see a doctor, to see if there is anything...

"Are we still the good guys"? - The Road. We used to be, Elon and Tesla and us. This is heartbreaking.

I've been wishing for a while that Elon would have a good medical exam, by a good old-school internist or neurologist. I sense there might be some medical explanation for what's going on. I fear his extreme wealth and power have left him isolated, surrounded by a bunch of sycophants who will do...

The solar guy sure had a lot of objections. However, the appeal was denied. The Supercharger was approved. https://ashland.news/ashland-tesla-supercharger-station-proposal-survives-appeal/

This is the problem:

RESTROOMS. Clean, well lit restrooms in a safe location.

Pity if there won't be shared sites with trucks. For one, it increases the likelihood of certain essential amenities, something which Elon and the supercharging team seem mildly oblivious to...

I drove there after it was announced and that's how it felt to me. Other people apparently had this same concern. Sometimes when the pass closes due to snow, Ashland fills with trucks. They used to stop in a large empty lot by Shop n'Kart. Last time this happened they just filled all the...

But this is the first stop after the pass, or the last one before it. This is where trucks would stop if the pass is closed. This is also where cars, and in the future, trucks, would go if they run into trouble of any kind on the Siskiyou pass. It's strange that there's no service center here...

The city has in fact built chargers downtown! There are 10 free level 2 chargers in a free open public parking lot, right in the middle of town. The one argument I agree with is that the site seems unsuitable for trucks because of the tight turn and narrow road. I would think that of all...

Thank you all for all the replies. The Chademo seems expensive. I wonder if it's essential? Also, I drive a model Y, and I saw this on the Tesla page: I'm on the West Coast. I thought I'd just drive north via I-5 and cross the border. So British Columbia, mostly to do a bit of (easy) day hikes...

Just to be sure... As of mid 2022, do I need any kind of non-US adaptor to travel to Canada from the US? Potential charging locations include superchargers, of course, hotels, campgrounds, and anywhere else that might have charging. I have the J 1772 adaptor that came with the car and two...
