Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz likens Tesla to Enron.

Silicon Valley's omerta around Tesla and Musk is cracking.

#TSLAQ #ElonQ
A Threads post from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. It reposts a post from @james_ash_sf which says: "Their CFO and auditors need to go to jail for signing off on slides like this!" The text in @moskov's Threads post reads: I know I sound crazy to most people who don't follow $TSLA closely but at this point it really needs to be said. This is Enron now, folks. It may keep going, but people are going to jail at the end. The data is presented in fraudulent ways, and it doesn't say what they claim it says even when they make it up. Tesla has committed consumer fraud on a massive scale, from lying about FSD, ranges, and (recently, unconfirmed!) even inflating odometers. Many times now, also securities fraud.

Tesla's earnings call was really something. Hoping Common Sense Skeptic is working on a video about it.

I think this tweet will go down in history as the canonical example of the depths of insanity of the Musk cultists and the lengths to which they will go as bulls to prop up Tesla stock.

Just J.K. Rowling destroying her reputation again with Elon Musk as cheerleader. #ElonQ
An image of two tweets from Xitter. First, J.K. Rowling tweets a screenshot of someone saying "You should delete your account" with the text: "Fun, I love playing this game! My turn: You should stick your opinion up your arse and set fire to it." Then Elon Musk replies with two emojis, "Fire" and "Face with tears of joy"

A screenshot of Google Translate. The English text on the right side reads: Here is a detailed chronological description of what happened. A person named Jia Tan (JiaT75) has spent months trying to gain the trust of the development team, and from time to time, characters who appear to have been left behind have appeared and pressured them to include questionable patches. It was written that people who develop and maintain OSS without receiving anything in return can easily become mentally exhausted. After the issue became public, GitHub froze not only the attacker's account but also the innocent original author's account and locked the repository, accusing GitHub of doing a "great job" in making the situation worse.

Text quoting Elon Musk and the Infinite Rebuy by Dave Karpf: The result is a bland, trite, uninteresting book, one that is destined to be remembered as the worst of Isaacson’s long career (the negative reviews have been delicious).

These spans not far from the Francis Scott Key Bridge also appear to lack a Bridge Pier Protection System.
A beautiful sunrise behind the main spans of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. No Bridge Pier Protection System appears to be in place, leaving the spans vulnerable to a ship collision.

There is a new Bridge Pier Protection System protecting the Delaware Memorial Bridge from ship collision. The Francis Scott Key Bridge needed this.

A Tweet from @Teslaconomics posted on 3/19/24. The text reads: Elon already has extreme stress 16 hours a day, every single day, he doesn't want to do an interview that makes him feel like he's being interrogated, that's boring, and questions that people already know the answers to. The best interviews are ones where 1/ viewers find out cool, new things about him, his companies & products, 2/ the stories & thought process behind it, and 3/ where he's himself & laughs a lot.

Not a FBer, but using UBlock Origin it might be possible to craft filters using XPath to remove the offending elements. I've done this on Xitter and also YouTube to remove Shorts from the default un-logged in view.

It warns that Hawthorne, California is a seismically active region, but not that Musk is a seismically active CEO!
#ElonQ #Unstable
Excerpt of article in previous skeet. Partial text (char limit): To a large extent, such documents are written to minimize the company’s legal liability. The SpaceX document rightly points out that equity investments are inherently risky, because participants are trading a highly liquid asset — cash — for highly illiquid shares. As such, they exhaustively list various material risk factors, no matter how unlikely — for example, in its risk document, seen by TechCrunch, SpaceX includes that Hawthorne, California, which is home to its headquarters, is a “seismically active region.” The company also includes a number of risk factors related to Elon Musk, its CEO and founder. “To date, the Company has been highly dependent on the leadership provided by the Company’s founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer, Elon Musk,” the document reads. “SpaceX, Mr. Musk, and other companies Mr. Musk is affiliated with, frequently receive an immense amount of media attention…
