Sarah Michelle Gellar on Wolf Pack, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Career
Twenty years after 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' its star is back with more high school horror as she battles to protect her younger 'Wolf Pack' co-stars — and her daughter — from industry abuses: “I hope that I’ve set up a safety net for these actors that I didn’t have.”
"Musk tweeted about the allegedly pending deal after the Financial Times reported that the Saudi Arabia government's Public Investment Fund had acquired a $2 billion stake in Tesla."

every time a company Musk runs puts out lousy, smug voiced copy like that disclaimer and "this is a legacy verified, it may or may not be notable" you can safely bet that he personally dictated it and ordered it to be put in
many board members have said that they don't like my tweets or me tweeting

"Elon Musk admits at trial that he ignored pleas to stop tweeting
They have a list.
Among the people who asked him to stop tweeting are Antonio Gracias, a former director on Tesla’s board, investors Ron Baron and Sam Teller, Musk’s former de facto chief of staff, and other close associates.
"I suppose I continued to tweet, yes,” Musk replied when asked if he ignored his advisors and investors"
Tesla, insurers take different paths to deal with expensive repairs
Tesla Inc's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/TSLA.O" target="_blank">(TSLA.O)</a> electric vehicles are expensive to repair - so much so that the automaker and insurers are addressing the issue in sharply different ways.

if you were wondering how things are going over at tesla, hoo boy they're going swimmingly
I don't know whether it is sad or funny that the guy who posted Tesla self driving fucking up and made the news still owns a Tesla, but Tesla has blackballed him from receiving repairs to his Tesla.
Imagine posting "my shitbox civic broke down again" on Instagram and having the CEO of Honda turn up and have a meltdown on your doorstep.
I hope this will not impact Tesla's ability to sell carbon credits
Steering wheel fell off, just normal car things. But we’ll buy back your car (which has nothing wrong with it anyways

I am sure the NLRB will take it very seriously and may even tut-tut musk, maybe even strongly
just another software update "recall"
apparently it just disables the rolling-stop feature
now they just need to disable the "hits curbs in the snow", "hits stationary objects at highway speeds", and "runs over children" features
Eberhard, who Musk ousted as CEO of Tesla in 2007, said creating software for the electric cars to drive themselves was the least of his concerns when he was at Tesla.
"So, keep in mind that all this FSD autonomous, autopilot crap — none of that existed when I was there," he said. "We were still busy trying to make the car work and we never thought about that at all. That came later. That requires a much, much bigger budget than we had."
this shit has a long way to drop, but if his song and dance press event is no longer wowing rubes, it might even happen
and all it took was him pissing off the business and tech press by running twitter into the ground

JONES-TOWN! JONES-TOWN! JONES-TOWN!
Well, we're living here in ElonTown
And he's closing all the factories down
Out in Boca, they're killing birds
Ignoring norms, launching real turds
Well, our fathers fought the First Forum Wars
Spent their weekends watching Jersey Shore
Met our mothers on the ICQ
Asked her to chat, she had nothing to do
And we're living here in ElonTown
But some random shit gets handed down
And it's getting very hard to stay
Well, we're waiting here in ElonTown
For the Nueralink we never found
For the promises our leader gave
If we loved car, if we prepaid
So the reservations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No, the Cybertruck was never real
Cars missing parts, no steering wheels
And we're waiting here in ElonTown
But he's taken with the new tweet he found
And the union people got led away
Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
Car AI, fire a truck through our face
Whoa-oh-oh
Well, I'm living here in ElonTown
And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting up today
And it's getting very hard to stay
And we're living here in ElonTown

wonder what the venn diagram of 'people who are defending this' vs. 'people who think 15 minute cities are a WEF plot to micromanage your life' looks like
"First reported by Autoevolution, the $700 option to retrofit Model X and Y cars with a regular steering wheel has clearly been popular among drivers. According to the site, the retrofit sold out in “less than a week” and it suggests that the accessory was “probably one of the most successful items in the Tesla Shop.”"

We all know Teslas like to spontaneously combust, but sometimes it's not even the battery or the motors. Sometimes it's the tires:
https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/300843859/tesla-on-fire-on-auckland-harbour-bridge-overnight
"A witness told Stuff when they drove past that the Tesla was driving with one of the front tyres on fire.
As the person approached the bridge, they said: “There was burning rubber strewn across the road, but she was still going, one car in front of me."
Holy shit! There are 35 Tesla semis?

Musk says Tesla will put sales growth ahead of profit
Tesla Inc <a href="https://www.reuters.com/companies/TSLA.O" target="_blank">(TSLA.O)</a> boss Elon Musk on Wednesday doubled down on the price war he started at the end of last year, saying the electric vehicle (EV) maker would prioritize sales growth ahead of profit in a weak economy.
Sure love when my car shuts off on the highway
I’ve never looked real hard at the Tesla UI but it seems fucking weird for a car to have like a notification icon with an incredibly important information about stuff like traction control. Like I gotta tap a bell icon, while driving on the highway, to be told this?
pretty long letter but she makes a good point... unfortunately if anyone took board member independence and conflicts of interest seriously pretty much every company would be in trouble
I assume he's already posted something extremely sexist about this
This is extra funny because the Tesla board just settled a lawsuit in which they're giving 700 million in excess compensation back to Tesla
Just casually siphoning off 3/4 of a billion

GreenSkyOverMe (Monika)Senator Elizabeth Warren:
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, I'm concerned Tesla's board has failed to manage conflicts of interest from his role as CEO of Tesla & Twitter.
Tesla's board has a legal obligation to serve its shareholders. I'm urging @SECGov to investigate.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know:
Elon Musk is not the CEO of Twitter. The CEO of Twitter is Linda Yaccarino.

Dan@cspam now I fully admit I know nothing about making a car. Wheels on the bus go round and round is the most technical I ever get.
But didn’t Musk promise us an all metal body that will withstand everything?wasn’t the reason this supposedly took so long was because he had to personally sleep on the floor and invent stuff to make the body out of steel? Because that sure looks to me like it is a very, very thin skin of metal over a normal door frame.
I wonder what grade of steel it is.
