A reply to that tweet with the crane falling over.  I'm assuming this is a slavish Elon fanboy:

Hopefully he quits the hard drugs, stops being an ahole, closes Twitter and spends time with his kids.  (Takes breath)  And upgrades his car models, and fixes FSD and makes his rockets stop exploding early.

Probably be easier for all involved if he would just accidentally Perry himself.

Operating from an altitude of 36,000 kilometers—more than 60 times higher than SpaceX’s Starlink network—this Chinese satellite has demonstrated a level of data transmission far superior to what Starlink can offer, pushing the boundaries of what many thought possible.

Makes me almost stroke out.
There is not much about the Valley to attract an outsider; even less now that the citrus groves are gone and summer is hotter than it once was, as impossible as that seems. We have one state football championship. We have the cheapest houses in the country. 
We handed over a place of stark but real beauty. Home to shorebirds and pelicans and rattlesnakes and redfish. We were told the rich man would put us on the map.
And he did. He blew up his rockets and showered the shorebirds with debris and closed the beach and the world knows where we are. 
 
Damn if that isn’t the story of the Valley. 

What is this - a John Steinbeck novel?

If there was only some way of identifying the reason for declining sales and the brands falling popularity.

Quote

Elon Musk fired Tesla’s head of operations in North America and Europe, amid declining sales in both regions and the electric vehicle brand’s falling popularity, according to people familiar with the matter.

Omead Afshar, who started with Tesla as an engineer in 2011, had become one of Musk’s top lieutenants and was elevated to vice president to oversee business in the two key regions last October. He didn’t respond to a request for comment, nor did Musk or Tesla.

Afshar’s removal comes a few days before the end of the second quarter and follows news that Tesla’s EV sales dropped for a fifth consecutive month in Europe. U.S. sales are also down this year and China, the Austin-based company’s top market, saw a 15% drop in May. Equity analysts are anticipating a drop in Tesla’s EV deliveries of at least 10% worldwide in the quarter that ends on June 30, to about 392,800 units compared with 443,956 a year ago.

If the numbers are as dire as predicted (10% fall YoY in sales) that should result in at least a 30% spike in TSLA stock.

You know, there actually is one thing I enjoy about this moment in our cultural timeline.  That thing is how people absolutely, completely, and utterly debase themselves at the altar of a narcissist, thinking that in return, he will be loyal to them.  And every time, once the narcissist decides that the debaser no longer serves his needs, or he needs a scapegoat, he shivs the debaser.  So, now the debaser is utterly humiliated/emasculated AND stabbed dead.  It's funny.  Their stupidity and total surrender of all dignity for no good reason whatsoever amuses me.

The entire administration is chock full of debasers.

I assume this dude is going to be the scapegoat when deliveries in Q2 disappoint already really low expectations. 

Naah, he'll blame it on him "making a huge mistake in putting the cybertruck plant in Austin, which is all about woke ideology, and the woke mind virus ruined our production" or some utterly batshit insane shit like that.

Which will make the stock price go up 10% immediately.

Sure, why not? It's a rockin' song.

Got me a movie, I want you to know
Slicing up eyeballs, I want you to know
Girlie so groovy, I want you to know
Don't know about you, but I am un

Chien Andalusia, I am un
Chien Andalusia, I am un
Chien Andalusia, I am un
Chien Andalusia, wanna grow up to be

Be a debaser

If Trump is still pissed at him, Abbott could try and get Trump’s attention by pursuing this little incident. Leon has to be careful now.  

I think all of that bs was a fake fight to get the heat off muSSk.

I don’t. I think the Epstein stuff was a step too far for Trump.  Trump has a long history of using people and then tossing them to the side. Musk does not have the ability to self-police, and has a long history of saying stuff like that.

Musk is apparently still having to answer to the NTSB/National Highway Safety Administration as well over FSD, and the latest shenanigans with robotaxi’s performance won’t endear him to them. Trump could have made that go away but he didn’t.  

Edit: and by the way, I think Musk was extremely angry at the Republicans about the budget bill, because it potentially hurts Tesla’s bottom line in the long run.
