The image depicts a fantasy character, likely an elf, standing against a plain gray background. The character is dressed in dark, layered armor with a high collar and intricate detailing, including straps and buckles. The armor appears to be made of leather or a similar material, with a mix of dark brown and black tones. The character's long, silver hair cascades down their back, and they have pointed ears, a common trait of elves in fantasy lore. They are holding a curved sword in their right hand, which is sheathed and extends downward. The character's stance is confident and poised, with a serious expression on their face. The overall color palette is dark and muted, with the character's pale skin and silver hair providing contrast.

Putin's calendar yesterday:
Afternoon: Agreeing to a Ukraine peace agreement in a phone meeting with Trump.
Midnight: Sending 200 drones to bomb civilians in Ukraine.
This is exactly what Zelensky said would happen when he was at White House. It was precisely this betrayal of agreements is that Zelensky pointed out that got Vance angry. Russia can't be trusted to uphold the deals they make so any deal-making without real deterrence is pointless.
It's good that Ukraine will supposedly get real air defense out of the deal and it's good that Trump is yet again humiliated, but what a clusterfuck...

The individual is dressed in elaborate medieval armor, primarily silver with blue and gold accents. The armor includes a breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, and a helmet with a red plume. The person is holding a helmet in one hand and a sword in the other. A blue and gold cloak with tassels is draped over the shoulder, adding to the regal appearance. The background features classical architectural elements, such as columns and a statue, suggesting a setting of historical significance. The person's blonde hair is styled in loose curls, and they have a serious expression.

NASA's Psyche mission is on its way to Asteroid 16 Psyche, but that might not be the only metal asteroid that humanity visits. The European Space Agency is considering its own "Heavy Metal" mission, which could visit asteroid 216 Kleopatra, the second largest M-class asteroid in the main belt. Although it's similar to Psyche, Kleopatra has a small, unique shape with two small moons and comes from a different dynamical family. Heavy Metal could launch in 2036-2037.

Tesla recalls Cybertrucks for exterior panels that fall off | TechCrunch
Tesla is issuing a recall for around 46,000 Cybertrucks sold to date because of an exterior steel trim panel on the side of the windshield that can peelSean O'Kane (TechCrunch)
reshared this
There's been reports for over ten months and the glue quality not being up to the job. While most of the larger panels do have a few weld points the rear quarter panels only have a few small welds with the majority of the panel actually being held in with glue.
reshared this
The panel thats giving the most trouble is a 8ft long piece of trim that runs along the top edge of the vehicle. Its ONLY attached with glue.
Viral videos for the past yr have been coming out with a massive rash of them throughout the winter months.
Multiple reports indicate this has happened to folks during rush hour, launching a heavy metal plate into traffic.

This excellent youtube video by a critical cybertruck owner goes over every major body panel which is glued on.
It's clearly possible to rip off some of these panels by hand.
Kinda surprised they haven't started walking off the trucks given how easy some of them come off.
Most panels appear to be easily pealed off part of the way.

So anyways, looks like Tesla has a Q1 quarterly report due out on April 22nd I suspect this will be the first time key investors really come to terms with Elon Musk's Trump antics.
Major investors are already sounding the alarm. I've been around the startup scene long enough to know the VCs are absolutely looking to can Musk. Musk is not gonna be an easy CEO to fire so they'll wait till the very last minute I bet.

In a striking change of tone, Tesla mega bull Dan Ives warns Elon Musk that patience is βwearing thinβ
One of the automakerβs most bullish analysts is urging the billionaire to return to his duties at Tesla.Jessica Mathews (Fortune)
Dan Ives published this review of the Tesla stock below ππΏ
He's a large shareholder in Tesla and suggests that Musk should focus on being Tesla CEO and stop working as part of DOGE and the Trump administration. He absolutely rebuked the "brand damage" of turning Tesla political and specifically called out Trump's Tesla purchase photo op as a blunder for the company.
I think Ives knows Musk as CEO is a now a deadend but he's a big shareholder and wants you to be his exit liquidity.
I really think VCs like Dan Ives just don't understand #TeslaTakedown isn't just a brand kerfuffle they can PR wonk their way out of.
Nothing short of Musk separating from Tesla will remove the stench of that prick playing a central role in a fascist project to destroy the federal government.
These investors aren't Musk/Trump cultists, they are capitalist. They will eventually kickout Musk to try and save Tesla, so I hope the #teslatakedown keeps up the pressure.
If Musk's antics weren't enough, the free market really is not swinging in Tesla's favor like it used to.
All the major car makers have been taking their time to learn the EV market and a LOT of the older companies finally starting to fire on all cylinders with EV strategy.
China remains the elephant in the room. Upstart EV company Byd released their latest lineup this week and get very positive reviews.

On the heels of all this bad news rumours are swirling that Tesla investors and insiders are offloading shares.
Prompting Musk to hold an all hands begging Tesla employees to stop selling shares of the company:
βIf you read the news, it feels like Armageddon. I canβt walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,β he said. βI understand if you donβt want to buy our product, but you donβt have to burn it down. Thatβs a bit unreasonable.β
During last weekend's Tesla Takedown protests, a Tesla customer was seen exiting a Kansas Tesla dealership to do multiple Nazi salutes in front of a cybertruck.
The Nazicar loving Nazi then tried to get protesting soccer moms with their kids to fight him while claiming to be a former US military service member.
Eventually a woman, presumably his wife, was seen dragging the hate filled Tesla customer back into the dealership.
#TeslaTakedown #Tesla #nazicar #KansasCity #Kansas
When the crowd of protesters accused the Tesla customer of supporting a Nazi and possibly being one, the man replied "Yeah!" and did the deed.
The man goes on to explain the reason he is buying a Tesla is specifically due to the anti-fasicst protests and to support Musk.
Original footage of the encounter was uploaded to YouTube.

And just like the story in Canada, there may have been additional Teslas torched recently.
Authorities initially reported the fire from a week ago as an electrical fire and not arson as it involved a few different brands of used cars including some Teslas. Now ppl are wondering if the Teslas were targeted.
Teslas may be getting extra hear in Italy due to their conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's close relationship with Elon Musk.

If the brand damage of burning Teslas stealing headlines worldwide weren't bad enough, then today's news that Elon Musk and one of his partner's got into a messy relationship dispute on his zombie Twitter platform X.

If an employee of a company creates a public nuisance of themselves that ends up reflecting poorly on the company, the company has the legitimate moral and legal authority to terminate that employee's relationship with the company.
Musk has always been an asshole, but now he thinks he's the ruler of the world, and no right-minded person wants anything to do with anything he touches.
Tesla's saving grace is, Musk is just the money man, not the inventor.
Yea I guess the question for investors is do they stoke a panic exiting their positions, and self fulfilling Ives' "black swan event" or do they worry about sunk costs and go all in on Musk.
The middle road imo count's on how many sharks Tesla's top engineering teams and business leaders have. Is there a 2nd in command that can keep investors fired up and want the CEO seat or at least Musk gone?
This is the time the internal politics could get spicy at an org like that
@Flisty I am generally against cars, because the word "car" carries connotations of high speed and long distance, luxury and prestige that is exactly what our world doesn't need, but I do recognise the need for motorized transport of some kind, just lower speed, shorter range, smaller size and weight, cheaper, and more recyclable.
The CitroΓ«n Ami quadricycle is the kind of car that works for me.
