"Tesla’s sales across Europe halved last month, as the backlash against Elon Musk continues to hurt his electric car company.

"The latest sales figures from industry body ACEA, released this morning, show that sales of Tesla cars fell by 52% year-on-year in the European Union in April, down to 5,475 units, from 11,540 a year before.

"They fell 49% in the wider “EU + EFTA + UK” area."

The Fediverse is not perfect. But it's humane. Human. Its decentralized nature puts it light years ahead of any centralized or corporate-controlled social media platform (Bluesky is NOT truly decentralized yet).

The Fediverse is proof that we are still able - and eager - to interact on the internet free of corporate and government interference and manipulation. That we desire independence and freedom online as much as we do in real life. That human interaction and socialization is infinitely better when it is not monetized.

We need to protect this. Share this. It's special. It's a haven. And it is an essential tool to help us reverse the damage done to this world by tech bros, billionaires, and politicians who have sold their souls - and tried to sell ours - in exchange for money and power.

"What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination," former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert wrote in an op-ed aimed at Israeli citizens.

OK, who will be the first to call Ehud Olmert antisemitic?

This video from 4:28 to about 8:30 explains a major reason why Ground News is such bullshit.

In a nutshell, IMHO:

- MSNBC and CNN are "left"?! 😂🤣

- Promotes "centrist" fallacy. (Nazis want them all killed, Communists want no one killed, rationality is kill 50%!) 🧵

- So you're outsourcing your "critical thinking" to an app, eh? You're no better than a Gen AI bro. In fact, Ground News crams in those "AI summaries" too.

- One of many examples of the harm of Ground News, legitimizing transphobia while trans people are being genocided now... 🧵

See here. Ground News legitimizes transphobia in its quest for "rational" "centrism"... (Continued 🧵)
