Did Jeffrey Epstein broker Elon Musk's most reliable Gulf State relationship? The Epstein Files suggest the possibility that Jeffrey Epstein personally pitched Elon Musk an offer from Sultan Bin Sulayem to bring Tesla to Dubai

Part II of @niedermeyer.online's exploration of Elon Musk's place in the Epstein files is up. It might well be called...

You say "Dubai," I say "Hello!"

I just saw a tech blog write that a corporation 'hired' some humanoid robots to do factory work. People, don't do this. Don't insult labor. Don't insult readers' intelligence. What a choice.

I think that more journalists need to look into this exchange between Musk and Epstein again.

It's a timely subject, and I'd bet a signed dollar bill that Musk wouldn't take kung fu lessons even if he received government subsidies to do so.

Does Toyota's Hybrid Leadership Blind It To Electric Cars? Many who follow the progress of plug-in electric cars wonder why Toyota, despite its leadership in hybrids, lags other carmakers in its electric vehicles. The business principle of The Innovator's Dil...

Toyota: 0 to 60 (% hybrids) in 31 years It took from 1997 to 2009 – from Titanic to Avatar – for Toyota to break even, overall, on gasoline hybrids.

Toyota’s 0-60 (% hybrids) time will be 31 years.

They’ll reach that in 2028. Change in the auto sector takes time…

The death toll from Musk’s budget cuts will surpass that of every war in the last few decades combined.

He knowingly triggered famines and collapsed health systems, yet he faces no consequences.

We need to stop calling it cost-cutting and start calling it what it is: mass murder

Wow, Elon Musk sure does like White people | Opinion Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a guy whose social media platform most companies still use, is a BIG fan of White people. Problematically so.

Elon Musk is incessantly promoting vile white supremacy. Why is anyone - and certainly any company - still on X?

My column:

“I’m concerned that breaking the law and breaking the rules has essentially just become a cost of doing business for companies in Musk’s orbit.”

that is literally the entire deal with Elon Musk companies, Rep Howard Watts D-Las Vegas

Elon Musk's xAI faces tougher road building out data centers after EPA rule update An updated rule from the EPA closed a loophole that allowed xAI to build its Memphis data center quickly using air-polluting turbines as a power source.

🍁🍁🍁Canadian pals, skip ahead to 11:30 to hear about how Tesla needs Canadians to buy its Chinese-made cars in order to keep the Shanghai factory cranking. You're a major battleground for #TeslaTakedown in 2026!🍁🍁🍁

“Bake-off” between Korea and Germany for submarines has brought localized auto industry onto the table.
Shrewd negotiator. 🤔

Mark Carney just picked his lane on climate change For all the recent talk about pipelines, it's clear that Mark Carney's economic strategy revolves around turning Canada into one of the world's leading electro-states.

My latest: With his new auto sector strategy and a plan to double grid capacity, Mark Carney isn't just talking a good game on diversifying our trade relationships away from America.

He's also building a roadmap to Canada's low-carbon future. #cdnpoli

One year on from dismantling of USAID, study projects that global aid cuts could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030 | CNN It’s been one year since the Trump administration dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with aid cuts leading to the closure of HIV clinics in South Africa, the termination o...

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.

About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

YouTube just terminated PlainSite's YouTube channel, which posted certain Epstein Files video directly as provided by the government, because doing so purportedly violated YouTube's "spam, deceptive practices and scams" policy.

For real. Providing the Epstein Files is a "scam" according to Google.

Yep! If the EV competition is CAD $50k, no need to cut profits at $25k, just target $34,999 for the cheaper half and maybe $40k for the balance... 😊

Thanks, CD! Sorry about those Sabres...! 😅

Musk deserves a future where Epstein, not Elon, is deemed the true reason for Tesla’s success. 😒 $TSLAQ

They’re switching between the old 2025 and fully redesigned 2026 models. Takes time to retool.
It’s accurate that they cannot build cars fast enough. Everyone in the industry wants to have their problem.

betting on others’ involuntary and severe suffering will never appeal to me
