BUT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ROBOTS!!!!

“I cannot figure out why the BoD of Tesla hasn’t put Musk out on his ass yet.” In the recent compensation lawsuit in Delaware, the judge ruled that the board was made up of Musk’s family and friends and was not independent.  I think this also answers your question.

I cannot figure out why the BoD of Tesla hasn’t put Musk out on his ass yet. They were (as far as I can tell) only keeping Musk around because of his ability to pump the stock price. He has nothing left to offer in terms of tangible benefits to the company, the research or the product. He is now a marketing liability.…

Underwood Ranches still grows the peppers and is now selling the original Sriracha sauce under their name. Why not suggest that as an alternative?

I wouldn’t put it past Elon to actually encourage bots at this point so that he can claim a growing daily active user count on the platform. It’s all smoke and mirrors. 

Sort of agree. Loss of power steering is more psychologically jarring than anything because turning it through all that resistance makes you think you are about to break something. 

Are these all steer by wire? If so I’m not surprised at all. That combined with Tesla’s legendary engineering and quality control means such a thing is really inevitable.

This happened to my 2007 Pontiac G5 back in the day. Happened mid-corner, suddenly it got REAL heavy. No incident occurred, car was still drivable when moving, you just couldn’t easily turn the wheel when stopped. It ended up being a pinched wiring harness with a loose connection if I recall, and was fixed under…

I’ve never had a problem driving US90 from San Antonio to Big Bend. Yes, there are border patrol check stations and we can argue about the constitutionality of that some other time. Overall, it’s safe and and I’ve never had an issue the dozen or so times I’ve driven it one way or the other. Same for I-10 after leaving…

In the history of humanity, has any group that called themselves ‘God’s Army’ ever been on the right side of history? 

I make regular trips to border towns for work and my MAGA relatives are always highly concerned about my safety while I’m always excited for the awesome tacos and neat architecture of the different towns.

I hope Musk actually makes the move, then finds out the hard way why it is that so many companies are incorporated in Delaware.

Here’s my take on the ‘Border Issue’. I was just in Texas last week, drove from Mobile, AL to El Paso, TX. Spent 2 nights in Marfa and for a whole day we drove from Marfa, through both Big Bend parks State/National.

Wait. So, do you work for Tesla, or have your years of pro-Tesla comments on Jalopnik just been for fun?

Have to love that his shareholders on Twitter are painting Delaware as some “woke”, liberal, communist, east coast elite, marxist, anti-business hell hole that ***checks notes*** virtually every publicly traded company incorporates in.

1st Gear: In other words, selfish entitled adult man throws toys out of his pram and throws a tantrum because he can’t get his way.

If Elon wants to move the incorporation out of  DE without shareholder and board approval -- and quite frankly, actually looking into the costs and benefits/pitfalls -- that’s about the biggest case of poor management I can imagine. If the board and shareholders had any reservations about giving him MORE control, this…

Yes some good ol’ Polka! I need to make some golumpkis soon.

Hamas, the elected government of Gaza Strip

Hamas was elected 18 years ago; the majority of Palestinians alive today didn’t vote or weren’t even born. Maybe the people angry about this just realize that everyone in Gaza isn’t part of Hamas, and they don’t like seeing Israel leveling the entire place with bombs that mostly kill innocent Muslim men, women, and…
