#Tesla Fanboys, meet the data that will hopefully inform your illusions of Tesla's market dominance in Europe. Or the hope they can bounce back from this. biselin67.substack.com/p/hello-tesl...

Have you understood yet that for #Tesla fanboys, data are the enemy? Despite so many fanboy trolls telling me Tesla is just fine in #Europe, the numbers on #EV sales say strenuously otherwise. Here is the full take. www.linkedin.com/pulse/hello-...

Your #EV may be offering up everything you car knows about you to any #hacker; from the #Chinese, #Russian, or #Israeli governments to a local black-hat who wants your data to sell on the dark web. Even bigger, they can crash your city's entire grid through it. Read how. medium.com/@brianiselin...

China is now more respected than the US. Where did this happen? And why? First of a 5-articles series exploring where global respect for USA, Russia, the EU and China sits. brianiselin67.medium.com/update-how-t...

Reports that Tesla has started telling workers on specific makes, including the gone-like-a-dodo Cybertuck to stay home. When someone like Muzzk gives anyone a day off, you know #Tesla are in deep deep trouble.

#Tesla 's woes just keep mounting. On top of massive sales slides, boycotts, $1.4bn missing from the books, withdrawal of subsidies, the Cybertruck...they have their very own Dieselgate now: Odometergate. It might be the last straw...? Read all about it: brianiselin67.medium.com/teslas-diese...

Guns or Butter? #Putin chose wrong, and that's why he is circling the drain; because his economy is circling the drain. "It's the economy, stupid". brianiselin67.medium.com/guns-or-butt...

Anyone know what "going full Khuligan" means, in the context of Ukraine - Russia peace negotiations? Find out. It is well past time we did! brianiselin67.medium.com/what-if-we-g...

Economic cannibalism; Russia's fall. As Putin draws more and more of government spendjng away from the civilian economy (60%) into defence (40%), he hastens their collapse. Guns or Butter? Worst ratio since the Afghan War. It's a choice that could damn him. brianiselin67.medium.com/guns-or-butt...

How we all fund Putin's missiles. Ukrainian civilian deaths in every flight we take, every tank we fill up. Here’s how that work: brianiselin67.medium.com/the-hypocris...

Ivanka Trump got so owned by Mark Hamill. Brilliant work, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Elon Musk changed his X (formerly Twitter) display name to "Gorklon Rust" on May 5, 2025, as reported by multiple credible sources. Such a drongo.

"We don't do much business with Canada".... #Canada #Trump

Anyone else excited about this Friday's military parade in Moscow? I am, for the first time. I want something to happen to make that crowd of a...holes run! #Putin #Russia

The American embassy just sent a letter to Stockholm City demanding the city cease all diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, or the embassy would stop purchasing goods and services from it. Stockholm City's reply: Good luck turning the lights on in the Embassy,

#Tesla 's much-vaunted Semi. #Musk promised shareholders to deliver it in 2025, to recover the company. But really? Where is it? Not so fast. Really not so fast. brianiselin67.medium.com/the-emperors...

This is how India funds the deaths of 1000s of Ukrainians. Follow me on Medium as I publish that analysis this week brianiselin67.medium.com

Did you know #India funds Russia's war against #Ukraine? And has propped up Putin to draw out the conflict at the cost of 10s of 1000s of Ukrainian lives?

#Russia 's economy has not been so bad since the Afghan War, in 1989. And what followed was collapse in 1991. We are looking at a #Putin death spiral. Follow my analyses on Medium about this, the cracks in the dam, including forthcoming pieces on the petrostate collapse. medium.com/@brianiselin67
