    In the meanwhile Musk still sells vehicles injuring and killing people while bragging about the "self driving software". I'm sure this latest accident won't have any impact on that class-action lawsuit at all.

    Hours after Elon Musk declares 'full self driving' software available to all, a Tesla on full self drive causes eight car pileup on SF Bay Bridge, injuring nine people including a child that was hospitalized

  2. Telsa exploding vehicles and other disasters have gone on for years and were never an area where you had a boner.

    The only thing that has changed is that Elon is or leans republican now and he owns Twitter which is a threat to the dem controlled media empire and the dem controlled FBI.

    What fine CEO behavior..... and what a clueless technologist Musk is as well.

    Flustered Elon Musk Flips Out on ‘Jackass’ for Questioning Him
    https://news.yahoo.com/flustered-elon-musk-flips-jackass-210802495.html

    “Chief Twit” Elon Musk lost it when grilled about Twitter’s software engineering and coding on Tuesday night, calling the questioner a “jackass” for pressing for specific details.

    During a Twitter Space hosted by renowned hacker George Hotz, who had resigned from Twitter earlier in the day, Musk said that Twitter would need to do a “total rewrite of the whole thing” if it wanted to have a “really high velocity,” prompting Netflix engineer Ian Brown to interrupt with some pointed questions. Brown had previously worked at Twitter for more than 8 years before leaving in Oct. 2021.

    “Wait, seriously, a total rewrite? That’s your prediction for velocity?” Brown wondered.

    “Yeah,” Musk quickly replied.

    “Well, when you say a total rewrite, you mean starting with the skeleton?” Hotz interjected. “Or a bunch of engineers sit down with a whiteboard and say, ‘What is Twitter?’ Revolution or reform?”

    Musk, after hemming and hawing for a few seconds, eventually said that “you either needed to amend the crazy stack that exists or rewrite it,” Brown jumped in again to ask the Tesla founder what he explicitly meant and whether he could “break it down.”

    Following an awkward silence, Musk questioned whether Brown had “seen George’s diagram,” causing the Netflix employee to break out in laughter.



    “Are you—who are you?!” an increasingly flustered Musk shot back.

    “What do you mean who am I? I don’t know! You gave me the fucking mic!” Brown retorted. Hotz, meanwhile, acknowledged that he gave Brown the opportunity to speak while calling for it to be “more civil” in his Space.

    “I mean, man, you’re in charge of the servers and the programming and whatever,” Brown continued. “What is the stack, Elon? Take me from top to bottom. What does the stack look like right now? What’s so crazy about it? What is so abnormal about this stack versus every other large-scale system on the planet, buddy? C’mon!”

    Rather than answer Brown’s questions, Musk instead resorted to ad hominem attacks.

    “Amazing! You’re a jackass!” the Twitter CEO fumed.

    “Haha, ok! I got no credibility here, buddy,” Brown fired back before Hotz pulled the plug on his mic.

    “Good! What a moron,” Musk added, getting in the final word.

    The Daily Beast has reached out to Brown for comment.

    Musk, who also likened Twitter to a plane crash on Tuesday night to justify “crazy” cost-cutting, recently said he would step down as the site’s CEO once he finds someone “foolish enough to take the job.” At the same time, Musk has claimed he’ll stay on to head up Twitter’s software and servers teams.

    Since buying the company for $44 billion in October, Musk’s rocky reign at Twitter has been marked by chaos, hypocrisy, and heartburn for investors in his other businesses.

    Looks like TSLA stock is using the "full self driving" feature as well.

  7. Down to $125 already....$100 TARGET still stands and puts up over 100%.

    The more Musk gets bogged.down on a shitty social media site the better it is to be bearish on TSLA...

  8. Watch out for at least a micro-rally pullback if a new CEO for Twitter is announced. A new Twitter CEO will please many shareholders or buyers that think that Elon is now fully available for Tesla.

    Just a micro-pullback though. Tesla has problems that go beyond Elon and Twitter so the direction is not going to be good for a while.

    A new film on Netflix is out on Friday which eerily parallels Musk's wretched reality.

    'Glass Onion' depicts the hollow genius of futurist billionaires like Elon Musk
    https://mashable.com/article/glass-onion-elon-musk-references

    Glass Onion, which drops on Netflix on Friday following a limited run in theaters, was filmed way before any of Musk's recent Twitter shenanigans. And it relates to current events so well, I'd argue, the film understands someone like Musk at his core. There are too many small similarities between Musk and Bron to list.
