Seems Elmo went to the Enron school of accounting.

nls5.bsky.social•3 days ago

and it was also revealed that $1.4 billion of the money slate’s for capital expenses at Tesla is unaccounted for. Seems they might have an inefficiency in following laws and rules.

Tesla is asking for $43M in Canadian EV rebates, claiming to have sold over 8K vehicles in 72 hrs (there was a deadline), using 4 dealerships. Dubious & under investigation. Hoping for a $43M fine for scamming.

cupcakeyow.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m hoping the fine is heftier than the fraud amount. Much heftier. How else will people be made to understand that crime doesn’t pay? 😉

realitychecker.bsky.social•2 days ago

Canada is showing Musk they don't want his ugly trucks. Cooking the books for Canadian subsidies is illegal and he will pay it back, in spades. I'm enjoying watching instant karma do her thing

jhelinski.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, you'd think he's REALLY GOOD at identifying fraud, then. You know, since he does it and all. 😂

olddragoon.bsky.social•2 days ago

Canada needs to go after cuck husk with every legal gun loaded for bear. Seize all Canadian owned assets and bar Tesla from the country.

Sue them and charge Musk

That is an old trick…jess piper was done that way they do it to tie the other candidate up in litigation for a donation they had someone make just for that purpose.

And Mike Pence makes regular donations to Planned Parenthood because folks think it's funny to put it in his name. Probably happened here? But no, let's make a giant conspiracy out of it 🙄 I can't imagine living a life where I think nothing is real except for people coming to get me. How pathetic.

rawrtigerlily.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep, I used to have a lot of fun making planned parenthood donations in the name of any guy who dropped into a reproductive rights discussion to shout about killing babies or abortions at 9 months.

Fraud is fraud.

Hey, Matt! It was your wife! She donated the money in your name. She’s trying to compensate for what you lack. No, not there, you perv! The hole in your soul.

A total fraud.

I call bullshit on "Matt van Swol." He's going to have to prove he didn't make up a word document, that its a document from a dem fundraising org, that there is only one person with this name.

kaneniele.bsky.social•2 days ago

Someone sending in money in your name for a cause that you donʻt support isnʻt massive fraud. It just means that they think youʻre an complete ass... Much like when I sent abortion clinics money in Mike Penceʻs name.. But he was much more generous.

That sounds about right for the biggest con artist ever. He might be be able to get a co-crook federal pardon but that isn’t going going to protect him from state and international law. That’s how stupid the guy is. His ‘business’ forecasts didn’t include evading global justice the rest of his life.

kh0264.bsky.social•1 day ago

It is a story that is getting a lot of coverage here in Canada. Thousands of Tesla's sold in a single day from a handful of dealerships. Impossible. Someone authorised this within Tesla, criminal charges need to be laid against those who are responsible and participated.

brettholomew.bsky.social•1 day ago

#Tesla should NOT be allowed to do business in #Canada. PERIOD.

Their CEO, #Musk, is actively supporting and enabling #Trump who is advocating for the destruction of our economy and the end of our sovereignty.

People need to wake up and realize that missiles might not be flying but we ARE at #war.

“Four Tesla stores in Canada each sold an average of 30 cars per hour, amounting to 120 cars per hour across all four locations—essentially one car every minute, 24 hours a day…for three straight days. And yes, this includes hours when the stores were closed.”

I’m guessing there’s something wrong with how the report was generated. Probably a bug in the software. fElon should know all about software bugs.

gouldian.bsky.social•3 days ago

Melon wouldn't know. He is no tech dude. He's a con man and world's swindler #1 with frauds left and right. He just invests $ to buy smart ideas & info from broke geniuses. Then he finds ways to feed the overated frenzy smart ideas with govt funding.

lazarus-long.bsky.social•3 days ago

Having worked in many systems I wouldn’t be surprised if the report was generated from a “test” database. Many times when doing development work you create sample data to make sure the report functions properly.

He's also being sued by California for his "battery replacing" program. Tesla literally didn't replace a single battery yet charged people.

heatherthewhatever.bsky.social•3 days ago

Okay after google? Actually there's several lawsuits against Tesla in California right now.
-For causing environmental destruction with their plants
-lying about EV stats and pollution rates
-issues with their computers updating
-straight out lying about their battery replacement program.

canucklynn.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you look at any of the departments DOGE is attacking, you'll see agencies scrutinizing Tesla. They are not looking for fraud, they are destroying evidence

rangerlongshot.bsky.social•3 days ago

Also, Tesla's Fremont factory is one of the largest polluters in California behind only the massive oil refineries in Richmond, Benicia and Martinez.

heatherthewhatever.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep. Used to live in Campbell for like 20 years. Essentially around the corner from Fremont in the South Bay.

There's forever been problems with that plant's pollution. And they kept lying to the state about it.
