Will any American tv journalist ever be brave enough to do what Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi did..?

Because your own "game-changing" 4280 batteries totally flopped.
But yeah, the Pretengineer Musk knows everything better than everyone else.

Zendesk too. These networks are too small, years behind.
Personal: Gemini helped me a lot with some difficult questions in regards to several German laws that I never had to deal with before (and hopefully never will again).
Gemini (even the free "fresh" version) has shown a remarkable good quality in the last 6 months.
Professional: GitHub Code helps me writing boring JSDocs for documentation. Some small refactoring work is ok as well and the reaction time to suggest further edits to my edits is now really fast and making excellent sense. But still at very junior developer level.

China has been preparing for this for nearly a decade. Exports to US are 2-3% of GDP, and a lot of that is simply iPhones and other U.S. company production. They know they have TACO by the ballsack. Midterms next year, economy slowing, inflation sticky (in part from tariffs).

He's just waiting for the right opportunity to declare Martial Law.
Poor Americans but that happens when too many people decide not to vote or to NOT vote for a black/Indian woman.
Exactly my point

Currently, Musk holds about 20% of the company, and Kimbal Musk holds about 1.5 million shares. In addition, large institutional investors BlackRock and Vanguard hold close to 13% of Tesla between them, and both voted in favor of Musk’s pay ratification in 2024.

Tesla appears positioned to win approval of Musk’s new moonshot pay plan based on Musk’s ownership, the voting history of large institutional investors, and the company’s track record with individual holders.
Retail shareholders equate to approximately 34% of outstanding shares.

Maryland Comptroller Brooke Lierman told Fortune her concerns about Tesla as a fiduciary.
“This is one of those circumstances where somebody has to say, ‘Enough is enough,’” said Lierman.
/13
Still, some investors are planning to send a message to the board by voting against the three directors up for reelection this year: Ira Ehrenpreis, Joe Gebbia, and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson.
/12
The letter noted that the level of compensation paid to the Tesla board members could also compromise the board’s impartiality. Average comp paid to S&P 500 board members in 2024 was $327,096, the letter states. Denholm’s average compensation per year has been $62 million.
/11
“The board has permitted Mr. Musk to be overcommitted for years, allowing him to continue as CEO while taking time-consuming leadership roles at his other companies, xAI/X, SpaceX, Neuralink, and Boring Company.”
/10
SOC Investment Group:
“In our view, the board’s failure to limit Mr. Musk’s outside endeavors while rewarding him with unprecedented pay packages for only a part-time commitment strongly indicates a lack of true independence by management and jeopardizes long-term shareholder value,”
/9
In their criticisms, pension funds are taking aim at the Tesla board, chaired by Robyn Denholm. Pension leaders have said Denholm and the board are letting investors down by failing to properly oversee and challenge Musk when needed and ensure that he stays focused on Tesla.
/8
The board claimed during negotiations that Musk “raised the possibility that he may pursue other interests” if he does not get paid for his past work at Tesla and receive at least a 25% voting interest in the company.
Comment: "So let him go, will be better for Tesla anyways".

“If we don’t hold them accountable you’re going to have so many others who are going to try and follow suit,” Montoya said. “This is a precedent that could be damaging to our economy, not just today and tomorrow but in our children’s future.”

DiNapoli said he plans in coming weeks to lobby other investors to vote against the plan and all directors with reelection bids on the board.
The vote will be a pivotal moment—not just for Tesla, but for all those who oversee invested assets on behalf of shareholders and retirees.

Similarly, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, who oversees about $1.4 billion invested in Tesla on behalf of the state’s pension funds, called Musk’s pay “excessive,” and said it “waters down the holdings of other shareholders, and gives a captive board unwarranted discretion.”
/4
Lander, who signed a letter with other investors urging shareholders to vote against Musk’s pay plan and to oppose the reelection of three Tesla board members, oversees more than $1 billion invested in Tesla on behalf of New York City’s pension funds.
/3
Brad Lander:
“It’s not only the magnitude, it’s the way in which the pay package is sort of a ransom aimed at shareholders. It’s a megalomaniacal trip of bizarre proportions that is all about Elon’s ego and not about the financial health of the company or its stakeholders and shareholders.”
/2
... but a growing coalition of pension funds and Democratic state fiduciaries are speaking out about what they see as red flags: a comp package that is too large, a lack of independence on the board, and the potential for other founders and controlling CEOs to follow in Musk’s footsteps.
