I don't get what this legal department would be used for. Going after whom? Bots / individuals on twitter? News organizations that review Tesla's products?
@Gigapress, thank you for posting all the things you do and sharing so much knowledge! Keep doing it!
But, I think you should change your tag line to: “Second place will need the Hubble telescope to see us”

Can't believe I'm saying this, but at least he had a better reason for selling than the people who sold out this week.
Unjust attacks on Tesla. For example states that will not allow Tesla to sell directly, subsidies set to go away right below what Tesla Model 3 costs, subsidies for unionized low paying wages over high paying Tesla wages, competitors paying groups to slander Tesla, news papers faking tests to make Tesla look bad etc etc.
Report: Tesla May Consider Building a Factory in Brazil
After a meeting between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the President of Brazil, it became known that the manufacturer may consider building a factory in the country. The manufacturing plant could be located in Manaus, the capital of the state of Amazonas.www.tesmanian.com
news about factories in 2 places in a weeks time -- is Tesla finally over the 4680 hurdles(in design, production rate etc.) and is finally taking initiatives to expand??
I guess no stock buybacks in the works if 2 factories are being decided on
This begins to discuss some fo the major factors. For some time the next moves have been highly probable to be Indonesia and Brazil. That is for, probably both Tesla and SpaceX for different but complementary. reasons. FWIW, Manaus has appeal because of the Free trade zone and established industrial base, plus easy ocean access. By air Manaus is typically four hours from Orlando by air.
Hints: AIAB - Aerospace Industries Association of Brazil
Indonesia has both the will and resources to promote battery industry development. ASEAN, despite the political issues, represents a major opportunity. When comparing AESAN and Mercosur both have quite convenient advantages fr multinationals, not least because both have attractive duty arrangements with their own major trading partners. Some of those possibilities have been available for some time but under realized due to multinational tendency to ignore those questions. Details aren't appropriate here because they would quickly go off-topic.
I'll leave it by noting that few of us seem to pay attention to the most logical next steps for Tesla, regularly stated to be achieving more stable and growing supplies of many raw materials. Shipping finished products will be vastly cheaper that shipping raw materials.
NOTE: Discussion with Brazilians date from 2016 and meetings with Bolsonaro have included visits to the US. Suddenly now it becomes news, partly because the first moves came mostly via people in and around Florianopolis, a place with very active environmental industrial activism. OTOH, they're little known in North America.

CNBC needs to be a bit less overt when trying to inject fear. Monkeypox!
I love Elon, but to say he has not acted emotionally or irrationally is a stretch. He is human after all.
I would say buying the politicians in those states and those that opposed EV rebates would be more effective.
Probably much higher ROI than buying Twitter
I watched a few FSD 10.12 videos. For example:
My conclusions:
Visualization seems a lot improved, more crisp, more consistent, less wobbly. Behavior seems much more confident, faster acceleration and less hesitation. Some error still happens so there is still work to be done. I guess my main conclusion is that Tesla is not stuck at a local maximum. Most of their improvements over the last year has been in improving how fast they can add data and iterate so they can exponetially add data/features etc. This is counteracting that it’s getting increasingly difficult to make progress. So they are still making linear progress towards their goal of FSD by the end of the year.

(not sure if the car would have handled it without the intervention, but it was enough bad to scare any rational driver)

As a shareholder and supporter of Tesla mission, I welcome the statement that Tesla is beefing up its legal arsenal.
I think Elon is taking a page from his buddy Peter Thiel. He was pissed by Gawker (Gizmodo, Jalopnik… etc) when they ran articles about his sexual orientations. So, when there was a chance, Thiel foot the legal bills for Hulk Hogan, going as far as forfeiting rights to pursuit through means that would trigger insurance payout (the big money). The lawsuit ultimately led to the demise of gawker and it had to be sold in order to pay Hulk the awarded damage.
Since then, no media in their right mind dared to write anything about Thiel other than actual news.
With Tesla willing to initiate lawsuits, which is nothing for a 500lb mega cap gorilla with almost no debt and 18B sitting in the bank. It’s not exactly someone you want to ever go to court with unless you actually have a case.
All mejor companies do that with something as little as cease and desist letter. It’s about time Tesla taking a different stance on FUD. Staying silent won’t make it go away.
This should stop a lot of FUD from spreading.

Like I felt with COIN a few weeks ago, today with the TSLA plunging again, I started to think somebody knows something. Now I read this tweet and I'm more convinced. There is going to be some kind of Regulatory action against Tesla and FSD in the next couple of weeks.
"On Friday, May 20, Elon Musk met with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and Communications Minister Fábio Faria. The main topics discussed were the planning of connecting rural settlements to the Starlink broadband satellite network. However, besides discussing internet connectivity in rural local schools and Amazon forest monitoring, Musk and Bolsonaro could have considered building a Tesla factory in Brazil, reports Chumbo Grosso."

I love this especially monitoring the Amazon forest. Elon doing whats right and not what just appears right.

Hmm, I don’t think so. Seems like big, big money being put at risk—would love to have a true picture of the short action.
I’m going to guess it is those behind one side’s dark pool money having a hissy fit about losing capability to censor and hostile states aiming to preserve their bot disinformation armies. Both may think they can scuttle the Twitter deal and embroil Elon in the ensuing mess. They’ll cave if and when it dawns on them they can’t.
The usual suspects are piling on to stick it to retail and harpoon Leo, the Spouting Whale
.Elon threw down a gauntlet to those backing and carrying water for one extreme long ago, now he’s doing the same for the other. Historic.
In any case, holding through these sorts of things is safest path to the real money, despite the disconcerting volatility. Its easier to hold if you don’t pay much attention when it goes down like this—it’s more fun to watch when it goes up. It may be best just ignore it.
