If someone sends you a DM offering to send you 30K, you are the victim of a scam. They will lead you through their dog and pony show, and at the end, they require that you send them money for delivery of the money they are going to send you! The faster you want their money, the more expensive.

Here’s the most charitable reading I can offer: The tech barons behaved as though they were atop a social hierarchy, and expected mass adoration for their generosity+forgiveness for mistakes. Instead, Elizabeth Warren, Lina Khan et al treated them like the heads of *massive corporations.*

The truck burned, but the battery did not explode? What was the source of the fire? Given there is no gasoline on board, it makes me wonder. But, I haven't read enough about EV wrecks to have an informed opinion. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
