    Was catching up with a friend over the weekend that's lived in Barcelona for several years. He knows a band out there, says Elon and a bunch of tech billionaires invited the band to their yacht on the Mediterranean to play, they had to all sign huge non-disclosure agreements, strict security, the works.

    Only thing he said about Elon was he was quiet and they did a fuckton of ketamine.

    I've noticed that too. In the past it was because the person who was quoted blocked the quoter, but something is clearly breaking now.

    Yeah, I fail to see how they’re in a better financial position now. Unless the whole not paying rent thing is the answer.

    They were. Then he took it over with a mountain of debt to finance the purchase. That alone instantly transformed it into a bad business.

    Then his stupid decision making after the purchase made it an even worse one.

    “Trending to break even” could mean that instead of losing $100 million a month, in the last two months it only lost $99,900,000 and $99,850,000. That would technically be trending better.

    I find it highly unlikely ol' business genius himself has any idea how to read financial statements.

    That and he's an habitual liar. Not a chance he understands were his business really is financially.

    Is his Pro-Russia stance about mineral deposits needed for TSLA batteries or am I confusing two different issues? Would suck to act this paid for just to appear paid for.

    its 1% of revenue, not an extra 1% of revenue. $28 million makes up just over half of the drop in ad revenue from the top 30 companies in November and December alone.

    After 10 years of Tesla ownership, I switched it up and bought a lightning.

    The ford dealership would not take my 2020 model 3 in trade. The Gm said their ownership group has 100+ dealerships all over and they now have too many teslas and can’t sell them.

    I drove over to carmax and the first thing the guy said to me was “I just want to make sure you’re aware of what’s happened to Tesla resale before I give you a quote”

    Yikes.

    They redesigned/tweaked TweetDeck.

    I begrudgingly admit they did a good job. Except for not importing your previous settings
