Die Aussage ist richtig, aber das Zitat stammt ursprünglich *nicht* von Hannah Arendt. Ich hatte schon vor 7 Monaten mal darauf hingewiesen.

The quote often attributed to Hannah Arendt is misattributed, as it appears to originate with a user on Reddit in 2012 who mentioned her, followed by his original comment (the "quote"). Later posts changed it as if he had been quoting her. No appearances before 2012!

One of these quotes is real: Musk actually made this sick statement.

The other one most likely is not: Though you may have seen it before because it is very relevant now, it appears to be misattributed to Hannah Arendt.

Anything long enough that reading it involved turning pages, he probably didn't read it.

Sales of internal combustion engine cars globally peaked back in 2017. Since then any growth has come from electrified vehicles such as BEVs or Plugin-hybrids. Japan is an outlier amongst developed countries, with a BEV market share below that of lower income countries such as Thailand and Malaysia.

Calling the global pace of switching to EVs in recent years "subdued" is a bit misleading.

Last month, global sales of electric vehicles increased 26% YoY. Sales in Europe increased 36%. 51% of sales in China, the biggest global car market, are now electric. 1/6 of new cars in Thailand are EVs.

It still does that, BTW. I searched Google for the incident just now and Google's helpful AI saved me from having to go to any other posts.

Berlin, 80 years later:

The New Reich Chancellery was completely demolished.

The parking lot at the bottom left is where Hitler's ballroom once stood (on top of the "Führerbunker" where he ended his own life).

On the the top left is the memorial for millions of murdered Jews.

8 vacations in the first 7 months on the job must be really rough. I don't know how he does it.

LDP+JIP want to cut 50 proportional representation seats in parliament. This is a mortal threat to Komeito: 20 out 24 Komeito lower house seats in 2024 were from PR vs. only 59 out of 191 the LDP won. Komeito has no choice but to fight back hard.
