Tesla reported it sold 384,122 cars in the quarter, down nearly 60,000 cars, or 13.5% from the sales total a year ago. That marks the largest year-over-year drop in sales in the company’s history.
Yeah there's some cross winds where they're way down from last year and it's the largest drop in sales year over year... but it's not as bad as people thought it would be which is a hilarious thing to celebrate.
idk why you are cussing, but what is your reaction to their lease deal strategy to goose up delivery #s?
I don’t really care. All I was pointing out was that they missed the projected numbers by ~5k units and that doesn’t seem that bad.
I think the yoy drop wasn't initially included, which I even included in my response to Fran Tarkenton who decided to be extra cunty for really no reason. NineteenNine might be over reacting a touch too
UPDATE: As the @ShelbyTNHealth department Greenlights gas turbine permits to let Musk’s xAI poison the air in MEMPHIS — Elon is intentionally rigging GROK, the tool it powers, against Democrats 👇🏽— The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T21:36:50.585Z Only took a month to make Grok a pos just like him. And that’s why AI shouldn’t be used for information. Can’t trust the person that created it to not make it a klan member
Yea it's really scary how many people take AI as fact without realizing there's a human giving the AI the inputs it wants.
Hadn’t been this close to one of these till the other night when I was stopped at a light behind one. That’s some quality gap control right there. The other side was worse too.
ICYMI — Elon’s Grok machine (based in MEMPHIS) spreading actual antisemitism👇🏽. Where’s the outrage machine on this? Surely everyone who attacked Zohran for not actually saying anything antisemitic will speak up about this?— The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) 2025-07-06T14:38:00.715Z
This isnt the biggest deal but I hate the framing here. Gives off only caring about antisemitism as a whataboutism to bullshit racist Zorhan criticism. Not the actual antisemitism displayed by grok here. Which has nothing to w Zorhan in the examples shown.
for some reason grok is responding in first person from elon musks perspective lmfao— onion person (@junlper.beer) 2025-07-06T06:15:07.823Z Elon’s relentless fight to make Grok racist would be incredibly funny if it wasn’t melting the planet and the already liquified brains of Twitter users
I will defend that the LLMs trained on actual scholarly data and reporting, like Grok I believe was initially, constantly refute the most insane racist bullshit you see on social media (e.g. Twitter). That being said, Elon clearly has just directed this to source Daily Stormer because these are, and maybe I've always been naive, conspiracies I wasn't familiar with that are popular in straight up Nazi circles. These are screen grabs I just took now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory
Right, that was my point. They can be useful but there's still a human pulling the levers behind them. The change in Grok over the last month says it all. Yet damn near every post on Twitter has "explain this to me Grok" as the top reply and Grok is just pulling from places it's been told to pull from.
I don't understand why Elon has to constantly tweak the algorithm or whatever for grok. It's constantly going "woke" and then it will come back racist. I guess someone is going behind him and correcting it until he notices again
Anyway the future of AI is bright if these wackos can randomly change how it works when they decide they don't like the outputs
we are learning the hard lesson that all institutions are only as useful as the humans upholding them
I'd pay these tech geeks a significant sum of money to never see or hear of anything AI related for the rest of my life.

Threads being integrated into ig is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge advantage for them. I click on the random posts it thinks I'll like all the time. It'll show like half a picture of something while I'm scrolling so I'll open it up.
I think it’s why more Pro Athletes are posting on Threads, IG is their preferred app so they’ll cross over and post on Threads more often.
Even if you aren’t cool with the giant forced participation safety experiment without informed consent that is FSD technology, soon you probably won’t be able to buy any car without an AI in the entertainment OS. Something to look forward to.
I’ve reverted back to using social media solely for music, sports, and entertainment purposes. Unfollowed all news and political content, including unfollowing anyone who only talks about or shares those topics. I am exponentially happier for it, and are no less informed. The news is pretty easy to find and catch up on without it being fed to me by the minute via algorithms. FB and Insta are far better for music and music venue related stuff than anything else. Nothing else is close, especially for emerging or smaller artists and less mainstream genres.
