1/ Very, very interesting. IMO, a lot of people will misread this given Yellen’s perceived history of being dovish. But I think she guides Powell while he goes full Volcker. Her primary focus was always employment, which is still extremely healthy rn, but even above that, she
This sounds like it could be very important. Coordinating on how to reduce inflation and help midterms? Feels like some sort of pivot that is either decisively unidirectional.
1/ This is one of the most enduring and falsified myths around Elon.
Come sit around kids, it’s time for an unflattering history lesson, because frankly I’m getting sick of repeating myself and correcting fanboy revisionist history.
He didn’t create PayPal. Not even close.
@Benshooter
@elonmusk
You simpletons do realize he created PayPal. You only think you understand what he understands about crypto and blockchain. Maybe it makes you all feel good by saying this or something idk LMFAO 😂
lmfao ok so let’s review.
-no ride hailing app
-half baked cyber cab concept that might work in 2027
-some weird bus thing that will never be made
-not a single serious update on the progress of Optimus
"Completely unmodified"
I found some pics of the car they were using.
Below are pics of the track car as well as stock MS Plaid brakes. Track car has significantly larger calipers and carbon rotors.
I for one, am STUNNED that
@elonmusk
lied...
For the 8,123,712,359th time.
I always had a feeling we would come back full circle to this.
I just didn’t think it would be this soon.
And yeah, he later swore this off as definitely not being antisemitic, but every single person on both sides knew exactly what he meant.
Apartheid Clyde strikes again.
@elonmusk
: FSD price is going up and will cost 100,000 soon. Also something about a million robotaxis by the end of 2020.
Reality: Autopilot still can't recognize a solid wall of traffic cones and is a deathtrap.
Lol. The despicable girl who's been accusing Cem Karsan of murdering his own wife just got fired.
PS, it was me. I found all your info and workplace, and passed it out to a bunch of people.
I have zero regrets. Try not being such a fucking awful person in the future. Byyyyeeee
1/ AAA put out a report/study on the effectiveness of various pedestrian detection avoidance systems. Let's start off with some good ol' fashioned FUD:
A celebrity CEO who's made his -ENTIRE- fortune by scamming and suckling the government teet just turned into a Libertarian anarcho-capitalist.
Life comes at you fast.
Ballsy as fuck, but excellent form, and protocol. This guy knows what he's doing. Immediately dumps the mag and clears the chamber in case he's not able to hang onto the weapon.
I'd buy him beers all night.
The Ford execs did it all wrong.
- no one cried
- no one talked about Mars
- they didn't promise a price point they'd never offer
- they laid out reasonable specs
- they spoke clearly and didn't fidget like addicts
1/ Most egregious and disgusting lie told on the Tesla call today;
Elon Musk saying that Neuralink will be able be combined with their robot prosthetics to the extent that it will give quadruple amputees "an incredibly capable" cyborg body.
Second most egregious lie;
After a nuclear holocaust, the first creatures to reemerge will be cockroaches.
About 30 seconds after that, investment bankers will emerge to make sure they're getting a vig on the wasteland.
Tesla owner WITH Tesla insurance.
His M3 self-immolates in the driveway (almost takes the house with it, note the scorch marks) and he hasn't been able to get ahold of anyone in 58 days.
After the car literally burned to the ground.
Still thinks they make great cars.

Imagine if Boeing was like, “Hey guys, we’re almost done with the 737 Max software update, in 24 hours we’ll be rolling it out to all of the planes”.
You’d either shit yourself with fear or laughter, depending on your travel schedule.
Elon expects Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Aramco combined.
Kids, this is what a desperation pump looks like. He's about to dump every share he can onto your heads.
This is the most damning (of several damning statements) part of this communication between CA DMV reps and Tesla reps.
Tesla is Theranos on wheels. And at least internally, Tesla is aware of that.
Also, you probably shouldn't have interns do your redactions in govt documents.
As an American journalist, you never expect:
1. Your own govt to lie to you, repeatedly
2. Your own govt to hide information the public has a right to know
3. Your own govt to spy on your communications
Trump's unAmerican regime did all of these.
No one should accept this.
You can see the front tires/wheels just rolling backwards, and no tire smoke from them.
Being able to drag a 2 wheel drive truck using a 4 wheel drive one, is like bragging about being able to beat up a kid in a wheelchair.
LOL!!

"can haul Frito-Lay food products for around 425 miles (684 km), but for heavier loads of sodas, the trucks will do shorter trips of around 100 miles (160 km)..
Dragging a trailer full of chips around is not the most intense, tough ask"
Definitely not a cult.
P.S. The last time I saw this kind of behavior, when people were tracking who owned shares and did not, was on a Facebook group for a penny stock called ELED after it went parabolic in penny land. Now trades at .0025c.
PSA:
If you're driving a foreign luxury car and can't afford some random ~$1,000 repair invoices a couple times a year, you can't afford to drive a foreign luxury car.
Sorry.
Calm the fuck down. Blackhawks (and especially any and all VTOL aircraft) require an absolute metric fuckton of maintenance to not fall out of the sky at random. Do you really think the fucking taliban has Blackhawk pilots? GTFOH. Those are going to China or Russia.
So Tesla is going to offer an AWD truck with 500 mile range, air suspension, sports car handling, a million mile battery, 300k lbs towing capacity, that beats the Ram and F150, all for <$50K?
I can only wonder what it’s like to be this insanely gullible.
1/ WARNING: Gratitude thread. One thing I've been meaning to write about lately is my incredible experience with Twitter, FinTwit, and $TSLAQ as a whole. April was approximately my one year anniversary with $TSLAQ. I had a Twitter account for a while but cleared it out to
Hey friends. Take a knee. Please RT and share.
I just want to throw something out there to everyone. I know this time of year can be especially challenging for some of us. Depression is a true silent killer. If anyone reading this is ever in a dark place, please reach out to me.
As we approach this event I’d like to remind everyone that Tesla has still not received or filed for a driverless testing permit in CA. Not that Elon cares about laws. But I suspect that’s a large the reason the event is being done at a movie studio.
@flcnhvy
You’d think they’d at least be Wikipedia-level informed about ventilators! It clearly articulates the difference between invasive & non-invasive. It’s very misleading to the public to claim that only the invasive type are “real ventilators”.
Business idea: I'm going to start selling fire truck decals that Tesla owners can affix to the sides of their vehicles, to proudly display the tally of fire trucks they've taken out. They call them "victory marks" or "kill marks" in the military.
Translation:
"We're going to show off a conceptual prototype without a steering that won't actually be deployed in a robotaxi capacity then, but I'll tell you it will be ready in the next 3-6 months during the event please stop selling my stock"
PSA, just to make sure we're all on the same page, the VCs throwing full-on three year old, crying, wailing tempter tantrums to get a federally funded bailout, have objectively and abjectly BRAGGED about taking money out of the pockets of common people, several times in the past.
This 2021 video is notorious on crypto twitter and deserves wider viewership. Watch VCs David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya brag about buying huge amounts of Solana at a discount, planning to dump on retail. Solana has been called one of "Sam's coins" b/c SBF was a booster.
Guys will literally double major in finance and accounting, get an MBA, CFA, intern at an IB, and then work at a hedge fund for years just to tell you with a bunch of fancy words that your can’t beat the market because they suck at their job.
$TSLAQ Huddle up team. A quick note on class:
I've been noticing some of you are attacking or getting really snarky with new Tesla owners posting their issues on Twitter. Keep in mind a lot of buyers have no idea what they got themselves into. And most people would never

I don't even have words. I love you all and I'm glad we could share the moment when the CEO of several billion dollar companies smoked a joint on a live webcast.
1/ Someone poke holes in this for me, if you can. Right now we have:
- Thousands of cars just sitting in storage.
- Cars at stores that have been there for weeks/months.
- Said stores are increasingly filling up with with cars to brink of capacity.
- Tesla is now advertising.
Probably going to lose follows, fuck it...
Giuliani had the opportunity to go out on a great leadership legacy after 9/11
But now he's going down in flames as the idiotic, irrational crazy man yelling conspiracy theories while sweating out hair dye on national TV.
Let. It. Go.
Imagine being impressed with a car navigating a completely empty and well lit roundabout at 3mph when it was supposed to drive coast to coast on its own seven years ago
3/ the intellectual property of Cofinity, NOT Elon/x.com. If you think Elon is actually a legit software engineer, you should look at what happened when Zip2 was bought from Elon (they had to scrap his entire codebase, because it was absolute trash).
So, once Cofinity and
Hot off the press!
"But a spokesperson for Laguna Seca wrote in an e-mail to CNBC: “We were not officiating while the Tesla was testing on the track. Official records only happen during sanctioned events where a sanctioning body is officiating.” "
For those who think we hate Elon just for the sake of hating Elon...
None of us would be here if he had:
-Not bailed out Solar City.
-Stuck to niche high-end cars.
-Partnered with a traditional dealership.
That's it. That solves 99% of his problems.
I'm going to be assembling a mega-thread on firearms. From purchasing, to peripherals, common myths and mistakes, usage, tactics, etc. It's a lot to go over. But more and more people keep DMing me for advice, as it appears they're realizing that you can't count on the police.
