They didn’t buy the cars, they bought the stock.
The stock is Tesla’s real product and has been for years. That’s why Musk was using company funds to buy Bitcoin. There’s zero gain from investing in the cars, because the stock price of Tesla has nothing to do with their cars
Yeah, it’s all the same shit.
But especially for EV batteries, the tarrifs make the raw materials so expensive a lot of companies are looking to offshore their manufacturing because if they’re made somewhere else, only Americans pay the tarrifs on completed vehicles.
If the raw materials face a 150% tarrif, then even if theyre sold in Canada or Mexico, the tarrifs drive up prices and lowers sales.
It’s not just that, they need Chinese rare earth minerals…
Like, Musk just spent 15 billion on a factory for batteries that he now can’t afford the raw materials for.
I love tesler
What’s hilarious is Tesla was propped up by maga buying it cuz Trump said to. And maga probably won’t be able to win primaries let alone generals without musks money.
Like wasn’t it just a month ago the BBB passed the House by a single vote after Musk had to threaten to back primary challengera against Republicans that voted against it?
I could have sworn they’ve killed BBC journalists before, but there’s none on that list so you may be right.
The officer threatened us with worse consequences if we approached the frontier from the Syrian side again, and said that they know everything about us and would track us down if any hidden or un-deleted photo was ever published.
Honestly surprised IDF didn’t just shoot them as soon as they realized they were journalists…

China thinks long term and their government doesn’t have to worry about elections.
There’s no reason for them to grovel for short term concessions like democracies have to, they can just wait trump out.
Even better, companies from other countries that used to buy Chinese goods from American resellers, are now just buying direct from China to avoid tareifs nonsense.
Long after this is really over, American resellers can’t compete with buying direct.
Like, I wonder why trump thought all these billion dollars global corporations kept bending the knee to China in the first place…
He claimed he could do more good in Africa. But that was never true
As evident by the current American government causing massive amounts of damage across the globe.
I don’t think you’re understanding the Bill Gates timescale either. Like, you think we’re talking about the last decade or something
“I’m being told the family is being processed for expedited removal, which allows rapid deportation without a hearing before an immigration court/judge,” he wrote on X.
If some groups don’t get hearings, there’s no way to prove you’re not in that group.
At this point Gates ignoring America makes it look like he’s fine with the way things are going

It does say “Run for Their lives” now, but I’m like 95% sure it didn’t three hours ago.
But with a tone like yours I don’t think any of this will be constructive. I understand that a years long genocide is a sore subject for a lot of people, but the AP constantly updates stories, most articles start out with a single sentence.
I’m not an expert on how CSAM is hosted online, but yeah:
The reason I colocate my own hardware is for multiple reasons, including the reason for this post.
He flat out said a main reason he uses his own hardware is he knows he’s hosting CSAM…
So I would not be surprised if it’s just in his closet.
Still shocked he’d just admit it online begging for money and people would defend it tho…
In the reply to Patreon
Yes…
In communications to the people who banned them, who they rely on for donations to flow thru they act like they take it seriously…
In the blog begging for donations there’s no mention of moderation and a few parts where they make it clear moderation is a joke to them
That’s one of many signs from your link that they know what’s happening, they know that’s why they’re getting a decent chunk of donations.
So, they got kicked for hosting CSAM…
And in this post:
I’ve received many emails over the years regarding the cost of datacenter colocation, including things like “why is it so high”, “why don’t use you [insert cloud provider here]”. The reason I colocate my own hardware is for multiple reasons, including the reason for this post. I can manage my own hardware (I’m actually smart sometimes!), upgrade it with 1-off costs (instead of needing to change plans, increasing monthly costs, etc), purchase new hardware when needed, and plan accordingly. I also don’t have to worry about getting my service suspended by providers like Cloudflare or other shitty dedicated server providers who balk at the first abuse report.
Meaning it’s really just running in their closet, they’ve received multiple reports there’s CSAM, and they just keep operating?
Like, am I wrong or is this person really just bald faced admitting to a serious crime while begging for money?
Pre-emptive edit:
Article was updated to say the group is called Run For Their Lives,
As a mod so indelicately pointed out.
I don’t think it mentioned what Miri Kornfeld’s connection to them was tho.
Original comment:
None of these articles have named the group…
Six of the injured were taken to hospitals, and four have since been released, said Miri Kornfeld, a Denver-based organizer connected to the group. She said the clothing of one of those who remains hospitalized caught on fire.
But going off the names in this article it looks like a local chapter of this:
https://fundraise.standwithus.com/fundraiser/5559590
StandWithUs has faced controversy regarding its tactics and positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Critics have accused it of misinformation, pinkwashing, stifling dissent, and limiting constructive dialogue about Israel, particularly in university settings.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/StandWithUs
It’s not just propaganda to disguise a genocide, theyre “teach a man to fish” genocide deniers…
The organization offers two one-year programs to train students in pro-Israel activism,[20][50] distributes pamphlets and “fact sheets” on Israel, and sets up pro-Israeli lectures. According to Haaretz journalist Judy Maltz, no organization compares with SWU for “turning up the heat on the Israel-Palestinian debate at universities”, and its tactics in doing so are controversial.[8]
SWU established and funds its own network of “fellows”, students trained to use cameras, videos, and robots[51][52] to film events that are considered anti-Israel at universities, and whose role is said to be one of acting as SWU’s “eyes and ears” on campuses. According to Maltz, the presence of SWU activists at anti-Israel demonstrators has often provoked clashes that, in her view, serve the organization’s interests.[8] Students are taught to warn anti-Israel demonstrators when their disruptions may be violating the law.[8]
The Emerson Fellowship program, created in 2007, trains college student leaders from 90 universities throughout North America to be pro-Israel advocates on their campuses.[53] As of 2020, the program is offered to North American, British, and Brazilian students.[54][55] The number of students enrolled in the program has grown from 38 in 2007 and 2008 to 107 in 2020.[56][54] SWU also offered a Hispanic Emerson Fellowship.[53] A year-long UK Emerson fellowship, based on its American fellowship, launched in September 2018.[57] The fellowship launched in South Africa in November 2022.[58]
So it’s starting to make sense why no one is mentioning the name of the group that was holding a pro-genocide march in broad daylight…
It’s hard for people to think of them as victims when they know anything besides how elderly they were.
They’re also ignoring how many times this conversation has been had…
We never stopped raid at any other increase in drive density, there’s no reason to pick this as the time to stop.
This is not how ketamine makes people behave.
A shot of tequila won’t make me shit on your doorstep, but 5-6 bottles in an hour who knows what’s gonna happen.
There’s a difference between use and abuse.
Musk has not been using it medically, even if he paid a doc to write a prescription.
Because it’s standard
None of this shit is new, Biden had them ignore it, and so did trump the first time.
Biden should have yanked every single contract, instead he made multiple and constant exceptions for Musk’s companies.
The CEO of a company with government contracts blatantly spiraling into drug induced psychosis did nothing but normalize it.
Like, why do people honestly expect trump to be better than Biden? Why would you ever think trump might possibly do the right thing after Biden wouldn’t?
trump and Biden might both be bad in the same areas, but Trump’s admin will always be worse.

Had a port call back in the day with an Aussie ship and a Russian sub.
Long story, but it was kind of coordinated and they cut us all loose in Florida for a weekend as some kind of good will thing. (Basically a mini fleet week)
The first day when we walked down the pier there was a guy who took a lawn chair and a cooler to the very top of the Aussie ship and the guy just got wasted up there till we came back and hurled kind hearted insults at us for not being able to stay out later and keep drinking.
So the next day we asked the Aussies what the fuck was going on with that dude…
Apparently he was the captain of their ship, and just did shit like that.
