Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1.4 harsh brake for leaves blowing on an empty road.

Elon Musk this “sentient” software is scared of leaves?! Its incompetency continues to put drivers at risk.

JFC George - don’t accept the premise

Tariffs are taxes paid by consumers and businesses.

Frame the question the right way.

It’s not a damn true/false
STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump says we're taking in "trillions of dollars" from tariffs. Is that true?

BESSENT: Uh. Over the course of the next few years, we could take in trillions of dollars

S: Are you worried though that the president's focus on revenue is going to hurt you at SCOTUS?

B: Not at all

This makes Musk's trillion $ pay package look all the more ludicrous - I wonder what the 3 Chinese robo taxi company's CEO's make:
Riding in a Chinese Robotaxi Is Pretty Smooth—That’s a Problem for Waymo
While U.S. companies dominate their home market, other countries are looking to China for driverless technology.

“A Toronto mom says her 12-year-old son asked Tesla’s AI chatbot, Grok, which soccer player is better: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. After some back and forth, she says the chatbot asked her son, 'Why don't you send me some nudes?'” www.cbc.ca/player/play/... (this is just appalling.)

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable
