Analyst, got banned from Twitter for exposing secrets about Tesla/Elon

It is, in a way, amusing. An all stock transaction with a laughable valuation.

A company with no revenues acquires a company scarcely able to pay debt service.

Screwed shall be all the xAI investors who came in with Elon (the X investors already were screwed).

It's the world of Trump & Musk.
well ok then

"@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt)…"

How long till the captured FBI/ DOJ make up some reason to arrest the writer of this story / raid the Atlantic’s offices?
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Dan McCrum (of Wirecard fame) sniffing around Tesla accounting. He stopped short of tying this directly to the miraculous 3Q earnings beat, when they likely capitalized significant items that should have been expensed, that led to a 50% two-week rally. Tesla makes no comment, no surprise.

Elon replying it will be fine “long term” to a ex-Disney cast member who pretends to be an analyst on Twitter to pump $TSLA.

Incase you wanted to know things won’t be fine.

Unintended consequences of the Trump/Musk kleptocracy didn't take long to really take force.

Not many people know, but the SQL server that hosts the back end of WARP (Tesla’s home brew enterprise resource planning system) also hosts SpaceX’s ERP.

Perfectly fine for an automaker to have the general ledger for a government contractor involved in DoD contracts?
February 19, 2025 at 1:45 PM
If Elon is willing to change figures in government systems to live up to a lie, just imagine how insanely cooked the Tesla/SpaceX/Twitter financials must be.

No coincidence they can never hire a proper CFO and use their own homebrew ERP system WARP (basically no other S&P constituents do this).

Are we sure it wasn’t at a $44 million valuation?
February 19, 2025 at 1:02 PM
At this rate, when does Elon get to set his salary for “working” at DOGE? Couple of trillion dollars perhaps?

I knew this was coming but it’s still surreal. The CEO of a $trillion market cap company that is currently being charged by the SEC, is allowed to strut into SEC HQ and just start swinging a chainsaw. An embarrassment to the United States. Nicaragua-level corruption. 🤮

Gutting government agencies that are trying to regulate/prosecute your companies / Ponzi scheme is one thing, but wrecking systems that look after public safety that will lead to the deaths of innocent civilians? When is enough, enough?

It really seems like “they accidentally fired the workers who oversee the nuclear stockpile & can’t find them to un-fire them” is the sort of story that has the potential to break through even in this news environment
"National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated — but they struggled to find them because they didn’t have their new contact information."
Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them
The workers, whose agency oversees the nation’s nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

Should be a wake up call to anyone (esp journalists) on X. They’re reading your DMs (as many have long suspected) and don’t want you to switch to signal.
new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal

Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s friend Igor Kurganov still has an active email at his Foundation (he apparently almost put him in charge of it)- even after he was investigated by the FBI for Russian government ties.

Coincidentally, him and his long term partner also live in Austin.

To those that think DOGE people are smart, you should really check out the Tesla grifters Elon promotes. Includes: A former Disney cast member, a guy arrested for stealing computers from a college in Canada, a guy that said it’s ok to list after underage girls www.threads.net/@zerosumbond...

Musk Tax Fraud 101: Once you sell your shares:
1) Transfer billions of $s of shares to the Musk Foundation
2) Foundation is required to donate 5% of assets per year, so just transfer that to “The Foundation” (imaginative?) with made up promise of building a school
3) Never build proper school.
