Well, after six years of wild ups and downs, I finally traded out of my Tesla positions yesterday. In addition to the grim near term outlook, I no longer see the CEO as a benevolent force for good. Who knows, I may buy back in near the end of the year if things don't really go off the rails...

Many of the donated airframes will also be near retirement. Having spares will be useful.

Let me know when you're ready to relinquish the land your home is on to the descendants of the Cherokee it was taken from. At least they aren't raping and murdering your family and neighbors.

Rehashing the history of the region however many dozens of times is an exercise in futility. Israel exists. Just as the United States exists. The sooner the Palestinians come to terms with that, the better their lives will be.

Rogan is a moron who is apt to believe any conspiracy theory laid in front of him.

Russia is claiming they shot down another of their own fighter jets. This time a SU-27. Nice work!

There was a similar spurt between 11:45 am and 12:30 today. Just normal market fluctuations, imo.

Israel has announced that the #3 Hamas terrorist was killed in an airstrike a couple of weeks ago. Apparently Sinwar has gone completely incommunicado, and Hamas is desperately looking for new terrorist leadership. Hamas boss Yahya Sinwar's henchman Marwan Issa killed in Gaza airstrike

I can tell. But the Nissan clearly got the worse end of the impact.

Based on half a day of trading? Might want to zoom out just a bit.

Or after much more than 20 minutes of torture they have four gunmen who wish the hell they had blown themselves up. I understand the skepticism, though.

Do the radical islamic death cults really need any more motivation? I don't see the torture of these gunmen moving the needle one way or another. It is interesting to observe, though. I would agree that the Russian public are probably happy to see them looking worse for the wear.

I very much doubt the beatings and torture were/are intended to lessen the motivation of ISIS. It was probably employed to extract information and elicit confessions. And purely for revenge purposes.

Rumor has it that one of the four Tajik gunmen from the Moscow mass shooting had his ear cut off and was forced to eat it by Russian security. The other three looked pretty well worked over as well.

I've been seeing tons of Tesla ads on YouTube over the last day or two as well.

Ukraine just needs to keep grinding away at Russian naval and air assets, and the giant will crumble before long. Might be about time for another run at the Kerch bridge.

Wow, Microsoft is now worth a full Tesla ($540B) more than Apple. I guess slow and steady really does win the race.

The death toll from the Moscow concert hall shooting is now at 140+. Apparently they've caught the 4 gunmen. I have no sympathy for them, but they'll probably wish they had made it a suicide attack.

Galeev is probably uncomfortable acknowledging that radical islamists committed the terrorist attack in Moscow. It's plainly evident to all that is what transpired. Not a false flag, but Putin and crew are doing their best to spin it as a conspiracy with roots in Ukraine.

Yup. I'll take a stiff upper lip over capitulation any day.

Yes. The polls aren't meaningful until September anyhow. And they're often wrong then too. The outcome of the election will most certainly impact Ukraine, but presuming the result now is pointless and self defeating to a certain extent.

My guess is radicalized Chechens. Similar to this guy: https://apnews.com/article/boston-marathon-bombing-tsarnaev-juror-bias-4cf3031d41cb0ab1bd1cad2bd3ad107a

Nice. I bought back in about a year ago, then loaded up on NVDL about six months ago. Just wish I hadn't felt so shackled to TSLA.

Nvidia on a tear. Yet again. That stock is a force of nature these days.

Altman says GPT-4 is basically trash compared to GPT-5 about to be released.

Henry Ford has attracted a lot of scrutiny for sure. Most of it posthumous.

I think the main concern some might currently have with the 4680 packs, is the lackluster charging curve. That will invariably improve over time.

Lots of young men have been dying all along...

If the new Roadster is truly going to take flight, even briefly, I wouldn't expect anyone will be taking delivery on one for several years at the earliest.

My cousin in Austin saw one yesterday. She lives right next to the airport, just a few miles from the Gigafactory, though.

Looks like somebody is buying today.

Nothing scifi-ish about it. The Russians are quite good at electronic countermeasures that can incapacitate drones. Particularly low cost drones. Higher end drones are better hardened against electronic countermeasures. There's essentially a game of cat and mouse going between hardening...

Demoralized troops are often more vulnerable to being bought off as well. That munitions depot sure would be useful to the Ukrainian military right now.

I feel much the same way about FSD. This is the first FSD revision that has interested me in a long time. Hang on to that lemur edition Model 3- they are very rare and sought after. I always felt like the felines got way too much press in the automotive world. It's about time primates got...

In this modern era of satellite constellations and AI, the amount of observations that can be done via satellite is staggering. Assets like AWACS aircraft and drones also play key roles in observing the battlefield. Satellite images were probably the key intelligence that lead to the drone...

No doubt about that. Additionally, Ukraine is certainly being provided with a large amount of very high resolution, real time satellite imagery of Russian military activities.

The refineries are a higher value target. The refined petroleum products on site also contribute to the amount of damage done by the drone strikes.

WOW!!

Good conversation with Herbert and others discussing the absolutely amazing Figure/ Open AI bot demo.

Nasdaq making a nice little recovery in after hours.

Perfect time for Elon and Kara Swisher to have another sit down interview. Those two really ought to bury the hatchet. ;) Is it just me, or does the Figure bot sound a lot like Sam Altman?

Probably not the only thing he doesn't like about Lemon. Maybe Alex Jones will get the slot.

The Czech Republic coming in clutch when the stakes are high. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/13/ukraine-russia-war-czech-artillery-155mm-shells-avdiivka/

The White House is providing a $300M stopgap aid package for Ukraine. Included are ATACM missiles, and artillery shells...

Be sure to give those strawberries a thorough rinse before consuming. Good chance they're completely saturated in woke virus pesticides.

Strong day in the markets. I think TSLA held up pretty well in the face of unseemly extracurricular machinations.

Whatever purpose the Russians were using the tanker for, it's likely out of commission now. :)

A command post aboard a Russian tanker was struck by the Ukrainian Air Force. Not much left of that bridge. The life boat? appears to have abandoned ship in a hurry...

That's the factory rubber. They're kind of a hybrid AT really.

Crypto is doing it's bit to raise the boats. Literally.
