Seems to be a lot of corporations shooting themselves in the foot these days (I’m looking at you, Washington Post). Ford really blew it for me — I’m enjoying my first Ford ever — a 2022 Maverick — and giving them a pass on the long list of little recalls. It’s clear that Ford builds a better, more thought-out truck…

“still glad I did it but wondering if that was a scam.”

Man famous for not paying his debts, doesn’t pay debts. Consequences are for the little people.

He should immediately lose his security clearance and the SpaceX offices should be swept for bugs to make sure Putin doesn’t have any other ears in the company.  Then he should be given an ultimatum: completely divest from SpaceX, or else all their government contracts will be canceled.

I fully expect that if T wins, he will turn 180 on our alliances, and go into bed with the Soviets and North Koreans, while backing out of NATO.  Gunna quite literally be a whole new (terrible, very terrible) world.

18 U.S. Code § 953 - Private correspondence with foreign governments

Especially Space X, it ought to have everything grounded permanently unless he agrees to hand it over to the Government. He could still moan on twitter that he built it [he didn’t] every time he wanted to feel like he was still relevant.

If your insurance scam plays out like an attempted carjacking then you should have every expectation of getting shot.

A thousand percent agreed. It is insane to me that our government has helped this man weasel his way into “too big to fail” status for several of his companies, but particularly SpaceX.

Call me crazy but you shouldn’t NEED to be able to trace specific security leaks back to Musk to take action. Regular communication with a hostile foreign power should be enough to forfeit government contracts. 

I’ll say it again — these punks are playing with fire; eventually they’ll pull this obvious stunt on the wrong person, who will either open fire or beat the living shit out of several of them. This is so brazenly staged that certain people will choose to mete out justice before LEOs can.

I don’t condone this sort of vigilante justice, but I won’t condemn it either. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It just seems to me like, the police could end this quickly. When there is a crime (and we get grainy surveillance videos), the public is asked to identify a certain car or suspect. In this case, they not only have both (on non-grainy video to boot), but they have licence plate info as well. This could be shut down,…

Backlog of CT sales that are fizzling out as we speak.

Revoke whatever clearance he has for whichever reason you want (there are many) which would cause any normie to lose their clearance.

I can only assume his customer base has shifted MAGA. I can’t imagine anyone else is good conscience financially supporting this guy.

First gear: how does he keep getting away with this? Gah.

Gate lice exist primarily because most people have little common sense and/or think they are above the rules due to their sense of entitlement. The gate attendants make so many announcements explaining the boarding rules yet half the people in the group 1 line either have no idea what boarding group they are in or are…

They want to avoid paying extra fees, but they also want to avoid the inconvenience of gate checking their bag (for free I’ll add) at the expense of those that did pay some extra fees or have status for earlier boarding. They can pound sand. 

And not mentioned in the article, that generation did initially come with a traditional 6 speed auto (I had a 2018, the year before the refresh/CVT)
