added some Microsoft AI bullshit...

I’m struggling to understand how a guy who spent $44B to buy a company that is worth less than half that now is even in the same county as the running for the leader of an “efficiency” department.

I think some of the uber-rich (or offspring) think that the usual laws of nature don’t apply to them.

This is a shitty timeline we’re living in.

Easy punchlines aside, I think the actual answer to your question is that it got too hard to thread the needle between traditional conservative apprehension for EV’s, and the world’s biggest EV manufacturer now being a conservative mascot.

As much as I hate the Cybertruck, this is completely normal for a lightbar. It’s why no OEMs sell them or install them.

Did you miss the part where Tesla (an OEM) is selling these, and even partially installing them (leaving just the “last mile” to third parties that THEY recommend).

We are the dumbest nation on earth.

But that’s the point: Tesla is an OEM, and they’re selling and partially installing equipment they know isn’t road legal.  As you pointed out, nobody else does shit like that.

I’d rather stand next to the wind turbines and die slowly from the cancer and dead birds falling on me.

The question is, why is he even bothering talking about it when it’s an almost nothing issue with Hydrogen fuel cell cars havbing a near-zero presence?

Do you blow up in the hydrogen or swim over by the sharks and get electrocuted by the electric boat? It’s a choice facing all senile diaper pooping candidates.

This country is so completely screwed. Absolutely hopeless.

Tesla is the single shadiest, scammiest company to exist in this country since Trump Steaks, Trump Vodia, and Trump University.

Yeah, it’s literally why he’s giving trump millions of dollars. Cheaper than actually making better products.

Trump stacks Supreme Court. Supreme Court gives president essentially unlimited power. Trump gets elected. Trump gives egomaniacal billionaire unlimited power.

Bad actors were both caught off guard by the initial win as well as found out just how much shit they could get away with in a Trump presidency. If Trump wins again, there will be irreparable harm done to this country.  Moreso than what was accomplished in the first term.  Its truly a terrifying thought.
