It’d be stupid if this were a personal beef, but even factoring in what a petty grandstanding asshole Newsom is, the fact of the matter is Elno is actively fucking with politics and causing enormous damage because his feefees are hurt. Newsom quite reasonably doesn’t want to keep paying Elno to do that.

So in other words he'd create space for somebody else to build a larger charging network in one of the biggest car markets in the world?

Elmo said Tesla isn’t a car company anymore, so this shouldn’t matter at all, right?

I would imagine the response from Musk would be to slow down deployment of upgrades/expansion of the Supercharger Network.

Fuck Elon.  Bury him and his company into the ground.

Agreed....buckle up. Although I still have a sliver of hope in that there will be a select few in the Republican party who will push back, Matt G dropped quicky for AG...just a sliver of hope I say ;) Mid terms can’t come soon enough!

1st Gear:  Musk isn’t much of a chess player, is he?

There’s a lot of words there that don’t seem to clearly explain why Tesla would be eliminated from eligibility.

And that authority extends 100 miles inland from borders and waterways, which means almost 66% of us are subject to this harassing bullshit. And yes, they've always had that authority but given recent political events they can safely assume they are insulated from the consequences of abusing it 

Will be interesting to see how many events(and not just racing) will just skip over USA from now on due to the increased hassle and money that will go into it.

Weird

“No one cares about F1...”

That’s hilarious.

Your jacket says Red Bull gives you wings, are you a pilot?!?

It is not lost on me why they likely felt empowered to do something like this.

Just wait until next year.

Questioning someone for three hours with no reason? It doesn’t matter who they are, that’s harassment.

I will not retract that F1 drivers are photographed more than 99% of humanity, because it’s absolutely true.

Not knowing someone doesn't make them not-famous.

“Name Tsunoda, from Japan huh, where were you on December 7, 1941?”

“Yes customs agent, you got me: I am a Japanese man in sweatpants who has chosen being a mother-fucking Formula 1 driver as a fake reason for being here and cover for whatever illegitimate thing you think that I am doing.”
