As @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social said in reply, "wild that Netanyahu is years into ethnic cleansing and still more popular than Elon Musk".

E.P.A. Moves to Cancel $7 Billion in Grants for Solar Energy

Trump administration wants to cancel grants to low- and moderate-income families to install solar. This is, both figuratively and literally, a scorched earth policy.

You are the product...

Some of my colleagues who are currently crying online about TX Democrats leaving the state are the same ones who left D.C. early so they wouldn’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Kind of interesting how that works, huh?

In my book, I show that an eviction can ruin someone's life *even if it never happens.* A mere eviction FILING—even one dismissed in court—can destroy your credit and lock you out of housing for years.

That's why I say people aren't "falling" into homelessness. They're being pushed.

2019 – 2024 – Repeated denials and discovery stonewalling Through years of communications with the police, the plaintiffs and the court through the investigation and later the discovery process for the lawsuit, Tesla never mentioned that it had all the data that explained how Autopilot saw the crash, which everyone was seeking, sitting on its servers for years. The facts are: Tesla had the data on its servers within minutes of the crash When the police sought the data, Tesla redirected them toward other data When the police sought Tesla’s help in extracting it from the computer, Tesla falsely claimed it was “corrupted” Tesla invented an “auto-delete” feature that didn’t exist to try explain why it couldn’t originally find the data in the computer When the plaintiffs asked for the data, Tesla said that it didn’t exist Tesla only admitted to the existence of the data once presented with forensic evidence that it was created and transfered to its servers.

This whole story is insane. Tesla apparently did everything it could to avoid providing the data it had about its Autopilot crash. This is just a snippet and there's a lot more. electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

Tesla Accused of Shutting Off Autopilot Moments Before Impact In 16 separate Tesla crashes, records showed that the self-driving feature had suspiciously "aborted vehicle control" just before impact.

Oh, and let's not forget—Tesla has been credibly accused of programming the cars to turn off the "driver assistance features" moments before a crash so that the company can claim that the driver was in full control at the time of an accident futurism.com/tesla-nhtsa-...

Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash Tesla was caught withholding data, lying about it, and misdirecting authorities in the wrongful death case involving Autopilot that it...

The most damning part: The car was programmed to send all the information to Tesla then delete the local copies. Which speaks to a clear conspiracy to hide the fact that "driver assistance" features contributed to an accident #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

In my capacity as new head of the DoE, I'm going to accelerate the development of energy FROM THE SUN AND THE WIND.

Oh, whoops, that's real. And they're cancelling it.

As my first act as interim NASA administrator, I'm building a faster than light engine, that can take us to other galaxies in pursuit of extraterrestrial life.

I mean if we're just saying made up shit we should make it cool.

Solar is not the Whole Foods of energy--nice but pricey
It's the Costco of power--cheap, on the shelf, available in bulk

Oh FFS. So very many things wrong with this picture: disregard for safety, bullying, incompetence. This company doesn’t deserve to survive him.

Tesla Grants Musk $29 Billion in Stock to ‘Keep Elon’s Energies Focused’

For unclear reasons, the board is apparently trying to bring the company down. But: we helped. We think we deserve at least $10 million of this payout.

Tesla Grants Musk $29 Billion in Stock to ‘Keep Elon’s Energies Focused’

Sure, Buddy. You deserve a little something extra for permanently damaging the company’s reputation.

“The company’s stock has fallen nearly 20 percent this year.”

Well this is bad. Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations exposing sensitive user data

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

People will be like "I would do anything for my kids!!!" right up until you suggest dropping the speed limit to 20mph.

And, er, Susan Faludi.

"Kind of fussy like that."

Run for something, Steven!

Run for something, Steven.

"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate. Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services. He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?" "He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner

Drought, melting glaciers, over-pumped groundwater: what else do we need to ensure disaster?

Oh I know! Massive new DATA CENTERS that use up to FIVE MILLION gallons/day. Let's put them in water-stressed areas! And fire them up with coal and gas!

Homo Notso Sapiens.

This...seems a little troubling.

That's $329 million that ISN'T inflating Musk's wealth, and ISN'T going into Trump's & other GOP coffers.

It's a start. But we need him to be cut down to size without more people needing to die first...

Worth a listen!

Musk may be the absolute worst human—and that’s saying something, in this regime.
