New — I did a brief history of the ‘Fork in the Road’ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

Dear journalists: Now, more than ever, ✨The lawyers need to see the actual court filings.✨ Yes, I know you summarized. Yes, I know your non-attorney readers don't care. But we need to see the documents. The actual documents. If you're pulling docs from PACER, use RECAP & give us a link. Please.

The thing is, J6 happened on people's television. This is going to happen in people's wallets and on grocery store price tags. Very quickly, if he moves on tariffs Feb 1 the way he's suggested he will.

It’s so weird that Elon Musk doesn’t care whether the government subsidizes electric vehicles now that there are a bunch of other companies benefitting from those subsidies.
