Lets be honest here, Trump and Vance didn’t orchestrate anything.

Putin did.

He wanted the weapons stopped, and he gave them a script.

Now the weapons have stopped as of a couple hours ago.

We don’t make deals with fascist states, we will take advantage of them if the opportunity arises.

There’s no doubt a sales drop due to Musk, but all their factories aren’t producing and selling their best model (Y) due to the upgrade, and people have also put off buying a Tesla knowing it was about to happen at the start of 2025.

We won’t know the true drop until that vehicle is ramped up at all the factories, which means we won’t have proper QoQ numbers until q3 or q4, but I imagine at the month level we might see comparable numbers somewhere in q3.

The report, which the inspector general of the U.S. Agency for International Development published late Monday afternoon

Thats the problem, they didn’t fire this inspector yet!

So what I’m reading, is they released a documentary for Trump to follow for America.

He’ll have a much easier time seeing it on TV than being given the orders by putin in verbal or written form.

It’s also about how the US threatened to pull out of the WHO over the report.

Edit: Sorry, the summary had someones opinion/comment on that matter including a different artcile, not the actual article.

just like sexual education.

Not off to a great start there for a major part of the soon to be the entire USA 😉

He must be upset that Covid19 didn’t kill enough people under his watch and wants to try and get a better record.

Ya, that does make sense. Rewards bring out a lot of fake shit.

And ya, definitely Meta too. They’ve been at it so long, I imagine it would dwarf anything we find out about Twitter.

When you see him playing in video’s he’s playing.

He just uses other people to help level him up. I wouldn’t really say that using someone to grind for you means you can’t play. Him not being able to play would be him getting destroyed in the videos where he shows himself playing.

He just cheats to get his characters to a high level.

Edit: Another way to think of it… lets say he did this with Dota 2, and he gets up to the 2nd highest tier through his own play, and with cheating by others grinding his ranks. Then, he plays matches at that tier and consistently wins (and self performs) as much as you’d expect anyone at that tier. Can he play Dota 2? I’d say yes. Did he cheat? Yes.

What are the rules on offering a reward and legal counsel/protection for someone providing verifiable information about things like how that anonymous Twitter employee said shit happened.

Tbh I don’t really believe that report, it’s too easy to just write shit up like that anonymously, but I don’t doubt there is some shady shit going on that money would maybe convince someone to leak legit data or knowledge on.

The factory doesn’t need to be a reason. Someone else would fly there instead of him and he’d just do remote. That factory won’t go away either way.

I think the bigger problem they’d be worried about is future investment in the EU

Don’t worry, his pregnant girlfriend, who was only pregnant because contraceptives were illegal, will die from complications easily solved other than the option being illegal, and he’ll be jailed for fetalcide because he couldn’t pray the problem away, and he’ll still be wondering where the actions are.

I disagree.

OP: The thread starts saying america isn’t perfect, but at least they can say what they want.

Reply: The reply is that Iran didn’t start that way either and with project 2025 were headed that way.

OP: Project 2025 is boogeyman scary stuff, stop trying to scare people and call me when they actually are doing something.

Me: They’re already murdering women.

He’s essentially brushing off the start of project 2025 saying the whole thing is talk, when we have actual actions already. (edit: We have every reason to expect more actions.) (edit: just to further clarify… project 2025 started before 2025, it’s a long term plan by the far right they’ve been working on implementing for a very long time)

You mean like how they’re murdering women by preventing life saving health care?

At least this dude said something. These women were killed for simply being a woman.

The action is already started.

I knew (but forgot) they thought the 1st one was likely and didn’t disclose it, was it others as well?

The shareholders chose to do it, it’s their company, they can do whatever they want with it (as long as they weren’t misled as the judge has ruled they were).

Trying to control what the shareholders do with their company like that is not the way to solve a problem. And if you don’t own any voting shares, then you have no reason to complain about what they decide to do.

The payment comes out of their pocket, by the devaluation of their stock, when the options are issued and vested. They went into it knowing they’d make a shit load of money if he pulled it off, and he’d make a shit load of money too. The stock has 25x’d since the package was created.

Edit: Just to be clear here - A better way would be through a high tax bracket that would eat the vast majority of that away forcing him to sell most of the shares (or I guess alternatively sell SpaceX shares, it’d be his choice), but keep in mind it’d be at the rate when each set vests, so it’s not a tax bill on 55b, it’s a series of tax bills on smaller amounts.

TIL, thanks.

I wonder if NATO is going to try and enforce a blockade where any ship travelling through the area of cables must be escorted.

A Delaware judge recently invalidated the pay package, citing insufficient shareholder approval.

I don’t know if this is the article (its pay walled), or AI since it’s a summary, or maybe OP, but this is a terrible reporting of what happened.

The pay package was supposed to be independently created by the board, but it was found out that Elon had a heavy hand in proposing it, including the people helping him craft it. Now, I don’t think this is bad per say, but then the board was supposed to independently vet it, but the board wasn’t really deemed independent, and who they used had ties to Musk. Further, it wasn’t properly disclosed what involvement Musk had in crafting the package in the first place.

The failure to properly disclose all of this made the shareholder vote void. Had they disclosed it, and had it been approved, it would have been okay.

It had nothing to do with not having insufficient shareholder approval.
