    I mean, it was intended to be tongue-in-cheek but yes, an orange was enough to fool the pressure sensor in a Tesla steering wheel and, at the time, they had better tech then most if not all car manufacturers…kind of a commentary on how stagnant the car industry had become, ya know

    Lol, very true. Have you seen the piece James May did on Ford v Ferrari? It’s really good. Says that no one knows for sure how much Ford spent but likely the equivalent of over $1B adjusted for inflation.

    Also, getting into an early Ford GT was basically a death wish. It took the bear awhile to figure it out.

    I haven't been following the story since he bitched about fake accounts. Can someone provide a brief update? Is he still freeing our speech or is he attempting a cancel culture on the offer?

    Yea it’s all just public posturing and negotiation at this point. Would be hilarious if a court enforces the contract, makes him buy Twitter, and he burns the company down.

    A true win/win for all of us and that hellscape.

    Yeah, cause he can't afford it anymore. Most of the deal is financed through a margin loan secured by Tesla stock. Since the deal was announced, Tesla stock is down over 30%. I think he's very close to having to put up more Tesla stock, to secure the loan.

    It's probably one of the worst business deals in history.
