    Sounds like Fort Lauderdale is on the Musk Train. The mayor gives a quick commercial promoting Boring company and Tesla.
    Clip goes straight to where they talk about Tesla. They have good production value.

    He'll probably balk on some bullshit technicality, even commenting on it right now makes him look like a dick.

    8B in tesla stock is probably on like 7 total stocks. He should give a big number b/c he can. But he will not.

    Awesome for CNN to put out a shitty article tho and allow Musk to skirt by. How sick would it have been if they stated it correctly in their title?

    And you hardly have to talk to anyone. You just sign the release and they give you a Card to start the car and they let you go do your thing. No sales pitches or anyone hounding you. It would be nice to have them explain how to use the car. I think I told them I knew how, but I had forgotten since the last time I drove one.

    How long did it take for folks between getting a VIN and taking delivery?

    I need the VIN to get insurance, and need insurance to take delivery. It could be ready as soon as Saturday based on their delivery window. I'm getting a little anxious.

    you should be able to get insurance almost instantly I think. Last time I bought a car I did everything same day and left with the car.

    I didn't get a VIN until a few days before I got my car. You're able to get insurance before the VIN now. I didn't know it was possible, but I did and had no trouble.

    I need to correct this. 1% utilization = $9/car so you can cut the numbers I gave in a 3rd and get the correct answer. I edited above. The $28 was the amount of money you make by upping the rate of the rentals by $1/car

    So Google tells me that'll be 21 billion in total value. Assuming half of that is gains (probably low) he's looking at around 4b in taxes...minimum.

    The World Food bank article was like 6b just for this year. So if he wasn't a pure asshole. He could have just completely funded them. But he has to make some dumbass point

    CNBC reported that Musk has a $15 billion tax liability coming due as a result of exercising some expiring stock options, and speculated that the stock sale is really for cash to pay the other tax bill. The twitter poll is just a PR play...he knew what the result would be.

    Yep, he’d announced back in August or something that his options were expiring. This was all a bullshit plan.

    Him paying $11 billion is probably still a way less effective tax rate than what I pay
