Oh yeah, the person going around sexually assaulting people is going to respect a sign stating “do not enter”.

It’s cheaper to mail a package or letter from US to Canada than it is to mail that same package within Canada (taxes notwithstanding).

Everyone who didn’t vote supports this.

Is that a concession? I don’t think he actually wants to be president anymore.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s the correct “deal” to make - it’s the most overt declaration he can make to those who claim he wants to be dictator for life - I just think it’s probably a win/win for him.

Also, while it seems such an order is legal - should it be?

If these were legally obtained photos, why should someone be compelled to delete them? Compelled deletion is a slippery slope. Shared a legally purchased mp3 with a friend? Delete it. Shared a picture of Beyonce at the Superbowl? Delete it.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what Amazon is removing. From your linked article:

Once this feature goes away, you’ll still be able to manually copy ebook files and other documents to Kindles over USB using Amazon’s apps or third-party solutions like Calibre. You just won’t be able to download copies of your purchased books to a computer.

The only thing Amazon is removing is the ability to save books that you purchased from them. No more personal backups of legally purchased material, but piracy is still fair game.

Their factories in Nevada, Texas, and China all have a lot of extra space and/or land for expansion. They’ve also been considering building more factories in Mexico, another one in Europe, and possibly SE Asia, though it’s unclear whether any of those are going to materialize - especially with the current downturn in sales.

Their batteries may not be special, but if they can scale to what they were promising a few years ago (which is a much bigger “if” than it used to be), their battery business could easily surpass BYD’s, which could justify its current market cap on its own (but not much higher).

I’ve got mixed feelings on FSD. I think it’s nearly “solved” for places with nice climate, but I think there’s a lot of work needed to deal with inclement weather like snow and slush and even heavy rain. I don’t think any company has any idea how to solve that issue, so they’re just pushing it down the road until someone else solves it first.

The share price isn’t based on car sales. If it were just about car sales, it would be about 10% of the price it is now.

The share price is mostly ridiculous, but it is also people trying to get in early, on the assumption that they solve FSD, battery storage, Optimus (their robot), and battery manufacturing.

If they solve all of this, then Tesla could 10x again. It’s very future dependent, and I think that future is a lot longer away than a lot of other shareholders think.

I got in at ~$20 per share. I’ve significantly reduced my position over the last few months, but I do still believe in the original mission of Tesla. I just don’t think they’re going to get there with Elon.

Do you have a source for him denying it?

I saw lots of deflection and incredulity at “liberals” who thought it was a Nazi salute, but I didn’t actually see any denial.

He won’t deny it. Not because he’s not willing to lie, but because he’s actively courting the support of Nazis.

Obviously Canadians are just better at snuggling drugs without getting caught than Mexicans.

If they couldn’t take their collective heads out of their assess for the 5 nanoseconds it should take to see through Trump’s crusty veneer, then they were, in fact, fine with it.

“I didn’t care”, “I didn’t know”, and any other form of ignorance is inexcusable, especially after his first term in office. Did they think he’d changed somehow?

Every single eligible voter who did not vote was complicit in his victory. A supermajority of voters were fine with this result.

Damn. Biden should have cancelled more EV and clean energy projects and funneled money to the oil companies in his last week.

Exactly this. I’m not going to sell my model 3 - I already paid for it, and I do like it - but I’ll certainly be looking elsewhere when I need to replace it if Musk is still associated with Tesla.

With other manufacturers adopting NACS, the biggest advantage of owning a Tesla has vanished.

I forget the exact number, but it was the first few. Maybe 3?

One more problem was that the various milestones had projections for likelihood and time to completion, but what they presented to the shareholders was different than their internal projections.

So not only did they think some of these milestones were likely, they lied to shareholders about how likely they were to make the package seem more difficult to achieve.

It can be hard to separate art from artist, but just keep in mind that you’ve already paid for those books. He isn’t getting more money from you just rereading them, and nothing changes if you continue to enjoy the books.

Don’t feel too bad. I’m sure that the Chinese 6 year old who made your product didn’t try very hard and was punished appropriately.
