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 image depicts a person standing on stone steps in front of a grand building with a large wooden door and ornate black metalwork. 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.

LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway was fake news.

Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 🫠.

Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

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.

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.

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.

Dan Ives published this review of the Tesla stock below 👇🏿

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.

#DanIves

Musk Needs to Do These Two Moves to Change the Narrative..It Starts With DOGE Tesla and Musk are facing a defining chapter in their future and how Musk handles this next few months will be pivotal to the long term growth trajectory of Tesla in our view. Tesla is Musk and Musk is Tesla....they are synonymous and attached together and cannot be separated. For the last 15 years Musk has guided Tesla through many challenges to build Tesla into the global brand it has become today. We have been there for the ride with many ups and downs and defended the stock again and again over the years as we have firmly believed Tesla is the best disruptive technology player in the world. Lets call it like it is: Tesla is going through a crisis and there is one person who can fix it....Musk. If you agree or disagree with DOGE it misses the point that by Musk spending 110% of his time with DOGE (and not as Tesla CEO) since President Trump got back into the White House this has essentially turned Tesla into a political symbol....and this is a bad thing. The brand damage started off as limited in our view based on our initial survey work....but now has spread globally over the last few weeks into what we would characterize as a brand tornado crisis moment for Musk and Tesla. The violence at Tesla dealers, cars being keyed in parking lots, social movements against Musk around the globe...have all created a massive overhang for Tesla's stock. Trump

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.

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:

“If you read the news, it feels like Armageddon. I can’t walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,” he said. “I understand if you don’t want to buy our product, but you don’t have to burn it down. That’s a bit unreasonable.”

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.

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.

Reading the details of how and why Tesla is being locked out of current and future Canadian EV tax incentives reveals a possibly jaw dropping attempt by Tesla at fraud.

Canada's iZEV rebate program was winding down unexpectedly early this January. Some how in a 3day span four Tesla dealerships claimed to have sold an astronomical 1 car every two minutes, clearing out the remaining rebate funds.

#Canada #Tesla #Fraud #izev #ElonMusk #TeslaTakedown #TSLA

Tesla sold about 8,600 cars in three days at four separate stores in Canada, or roughly one every two minutes per showroom, in January. That equates to approximately 18% of its annual volume for the market. Now, some $30 million in rebates to consumers has been frozen by Ottawa. Canada is launching investigations into whether Tesla unlawfully gained business by securing $43 million CAD ($30 million USD) in government subsidies for its customers, freezing the disbursement of funds until the matter has been resolved. In January, four showrooms in three major cities managed to sell 8,600 cars in the span of just a weekend following news that the country would no longer help fund part of the purchase price for a new electric car under its iZEV program. While a spike was to be expected and Tesla orders are typically filed online rather than at a physical store, that nonetheless works out to two cars sold every minute of every hour for three days straight. Moreover, according to Quebec-based Motor Illustrated, Tesla accounted for 89% of all claims filed during that period.

From childhood dreaming about solar powered cars I fully expected the headline "plug in electric car startup with innovative charging network faltering, soon to be bankrupt and scavanaged for parts by the big 3 auto makers"

But having that slowly coming true while Canadians are, allegedly, burning said companies EVs for, checks notes, supporting the annexation of Canada is absolutely breaking my brain right now.

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.

#Italy #Rome #ElonMusk #GiorgiaMeloni #Tesla #Trump

Another car dealership burned down in northern Rome a week ago, destroying 30 cars, including used Teslas. That fire was initially blamed on an electrical fault, but an investigation is underway. Also in Rome, several Teslas in the Garbatella neighborhood, where Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni grew up, were defaced, according to police and social media posts. Meloni and Musk are self-described close friends, but the Italian leader has not commented on the vandalism. Tesla dealerships in Milan have also been targeted by environmental groups in recent weeks.

Several completely destroyed Teslas are in a row in front of a Tesla showroom entrance. Parts of the building are bubbled and roasted from the intensity of the EV fire.

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.

It all started when Ashely St Claire posted a video on X showing her selling her Tesla and complaining about the billionaire's fight for lower child support for his 14th child.

So again, Elon's baby mama sold her Tesla very publicly on his platform X this morning all while bad mouthing him as a parent.

Naturally this triggered the Musk fan girl "good christian women" who've been calling the mother of Musk's 14th kid(6mo) a "gold digger" and say she "baby trapped Musk"

You know, just the kinda press a flagging tech CEO wants heading into a critical quarterly report & call at the end of the month.

x.com/stclairashley/status/190…

#AshleyStClair #ElonMusk #Tesla #TSLA

Gold digger and professional gaslighter @stclairashley was caught on camera outside of her ritzy Manhattan condo (paid for by her sugar daddy Elon Musk) selling her $100,000 @Tesla she said was gifted to her by @elonmusk during their romantic relationship. She said she’s selling it to make up for $100,000 in alleged cuts to her child Support payments from Elon. She took a jab at @elonmusk , telling people to check the Tesla Stock, adding, “I’m not the only one cleaning up after Elon’s messes.” Ashley, as I reported, has hired anti-Trump lawyers to sue Elon Musk. He was ordered by the court to take a paternity test.
I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year. Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused. And you weren’t sending *me* money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for “disobedience.” But you’re really only punishing your son. It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world. It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it. America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child.
I agree with @LauraLoomer . I wasn’t going to post these, but now that @stclairashley has leaked her private signal messages with @elonmusk after lying and saying she “wanted privacy”, here’s more evidence Ashely planned to baby trap Elon. She sent me these text messages in May 2023 when she first met Elon and started sleeping with him. She said “I need his rocket babies” and “I need a caption to seduce Elon Musk” in May of 2023. See dates below! She doesn’t care about “privacy”. She planned to seduce him by her own admission and now she’s leaking his texts. So I’m leaking her texts to me now. Because as Laura Loomer said below, we need to CONDEMN PROMISCUOUS GOLD DIGGERS! Receipts 👇👇👇

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.

@gcvsa the problem is Tesla's entire company valuation is built around Musk's grift. Once he's gone Tesla will be just a car company again and it won't be worth anything like its current value, and that's even if people tolerate Musk keeping his stake. If he has to sell and releases millions of shares onto the market all at once the value will fall massively. Current shareholders are in a lose lose situation.

@Flisty @gcvsa

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 just mean to say that I don't have anything against Tesla as a company that isn't directly attributable to Musk. If they can get rid of him and refocus on building products that are actually useful, safe, reliable, and affordable, then good for them.

@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 Citroën Ami quadricycle is the kind of car that works for me.

@gcvsa there's a mobility scheme near me that sells these Richard Scarry-mobiles and I really want one. You can see my minivan in my profile pic 😉
A bright yellow "cabin car". It's a car that's as wide as one person, with a big rounded windscreen, mobility-scooter sized wheels and a concertina pull-out luggage compartment at the back that makes it looks like it's got a bum.

Just saw this news today. I can only hope the Washington and Oregon DOTs are able and willing to step up and fully support the current #AmtrakCascades line up here in the PNW. It's been a real boon for my weekly commute to Seattle and is really popular. It's also the fastest way to go between Portland and Seattle given the congestion that is I5.

Financing innovative companies is crucial for the EU’s prosperity.

We can still do better to allow our companies to find funding, even though the pool of household savings in Europe is much larger than in the US.

We’re kicking off our Savings and Investments Union, including:

➡More opportunities for citizens looking to invest
➡Financial literacy strategy
➡More integrated European financial market
➡Easier investments in equity

It is time to unlock Europe's investment potential!

Isometric illustration with a dark blue background. Several people interact on and around stacks of golden stars, forming a circle similar to the European Union flag. In the center, a large euro (€) symbol. The text 'Invest where our future belongs' appears in bold letters. In the bottom right corner, the European Commission logo.

All meeting rooms should have one of these (or something like it) with the audible alarm set to trigger at like 1k PPM CO2. "Alarm's gone off, everyone out, the meeting's over."

(I don't take mine to the office any more but I did for a bit and it was reasonably okay. But I have a nice office and there aren't many people in it. Even if we can't open the windows, unlike some other buildings around here.)
