Is any major-media journalist going to look into it or do we just assume it's corrupt now

The driver of this deplorean looks EXACTLY like you expect him to look. Pasty, and tallow.

The biggest thing Elmo’s cult and Trump’s cult have in common is that they’re selfish 🍆.

I believe this is what's referred to as "naked corruption"

Now Musk is going to authorize himself to launch autonomous Teslas, which is the only way to save the company.
Would you get into an autonomous Tesla?

afvetstrong.bsky.social•9 days ago

Fuck no!

Note to military personnel; "When driving the Tesla armored cybertruck, avoid mud as it will get stuck, do not use auto-pilot near hydro poles, trees or other solid obstacles as it will crash into them. Be prepared at all times for spontaneous combustion."

katrinabryce.bsky.social•9 days ago

Also don't use auto-pilot near emergency vehicles as it seems to like to crash into them as well ...

feralleslie.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh and make sure you have a tool that can break the glass windows because if you crash it will lock you in and you may die in a fire

The experiment is about over Seth, with Dem leadership failing and Nazi policies and nominees sailing through, with the ignoring of judges, Republican judges I might add just shows that these scum will never relinquish power.

I think it's safe to assume that this is corrupt. I hope that doesn't dissuade the media from looking into it.

kevinmac27.bsky.social•9 days ago

One less shitmobile.

sethabramson.bsky.social•9 days ago

And yes, as part of the research for my new book I did a deep dive into this publication and confirmed that it has often published critical reports about Tesla that almost certainly enraged Elon Musk and it is hard to believe did not play a role in the retribution the Pentagon just took against it

rkhullar.bsky.social•9 days ago

None of this surprises me Seth but here's the deal let's say that in the 400 million dollars worth of trucks that are Auto made without driver if enough of them have accidents and we still have a free press people are going to realize it

jatman.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sorry.. we have a free *independent* press, but corporate media are now hopeless. This has been a 50-year plan -- since Nixon. It's no coincidence that Roger Stone was there then and is here now.

rkhullar.bsky.social•9 days ago

Excellent point sir! And to even further that here's the deal we've known or least I have for 35 years that Trump is a goddamn fraud if you remember the whole thing with him trying to buy American Airlines people forgot about that

rkhullar.bsky.social•9 days ago

Let me tell you when I was a kid I thought where's the Bush family how is this New York billionaire going to buy our precious AMR now I've studied economics I have advanced degrees. My own relatives would tell me president of the United States can't do s***

rkhullar.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's funny that younger cousin is a dentist that's the family I come from but even then at 13 years old I knew Trump was a fraud and nobody in the Press really wanted to cover that it turns out that he couldn't get the loan because the Japanese would not Finance that's why the deal went South

bluewind55.bsky.social•9 days ago

Pu$$y whipped M-ELON, doesn't want to admit his cars SUCK! Not worth the plastic they're made of!...like EVERYTHING he has and does, INCLUDING his family, dysfunctional FAILURES, AND LOSERS!....

sunnyphilyfan2.bsky.social•9 days ago

I heard it was 800 million?

brownejax2024.bsky.social•9 days ago

400M but this isn't including his other 12 new gov contracts so it could be 800M if our people in DC were transparent about all their fuckery maybe we would know

Apparently it didn't want to live through another Trump administration either.

Can ya blame it?

feralleslie.bsky.social•9 days ago

As an aside, I hope the dude who crashed can’t get insurance coverage since he was negligent enough to rely on the car’s self driving capability and was obviously not paying attention enough to override it. In fact, he should get a ticket too.

jenskim2.bsky.social•9 days ago

andrewjudkins.bsky.social•9 days ago

The cybertruck was a national laughingstock before we knew Elon was a nazi and that Tesla created roundly inferior, sometimes dangerous products.

I feel like this is “prologue” for what will be happening to America…

Just consider what Musk has done to Twitter (remember the sink)… and now look at Teslas crashing and burning!

Well, we did have 249 interesting years!

jig84.bsky.social•9 days ago

Why do there have to be diabolical people in the world? Whenever this is all said and done, we have to ban billionaires. The first big discovery was democracy. Next we have to deal with income disparity. An income cap. Billionaire = unelected power that rivals elected power.

On a more prosaic note, at least no one will insure Teslas at this rate.

It's corrupt. But, let's solidify that fact, before $400M is spent on them. Would it even make a difference, though?

The same guy who supervised the creation of the software responsible for that crash is now supervising a re-write of US air traffic control software. What could possibly go wrong?

linwetzel.bsky.social•9 days ago

I would think the crash in CA with four teenagers inside in which three were burnt to death with one barely surviving because the electronic locks would not open MIGHT be investigated further; but then, the State Department is purchasing 400 billion armored cybertrucks. BBQ time at the State Dept!

avoid teslas. the greatest thing musk gave the world was the manifestation of a product once unheard of: a fully electric sports car. now that his ego is fucked up he wants to suck up public money for his ultimate pet project: mars civilization. safety (and accountability) is not a concern.

Trump is not a puppet of Musk. Musk is his chaos-loving hatchet man, dismantling government. Trump is too lazy and unintelligent to do it himself.

awselby.bsky.social•9 days ago

You think so? Because Musk’s toddler told Trump to get out of his dad’s chair on a live broadcast and Trump just sat there looking petulant and told the kid to hush up.

I used to think that Musk was another crony who’d be kicked out inside a month. Now it seems he’s really the one in charge.
