The Tesla CEO now believes Twitter is "transparently refusing to comply" with the terms they agreed to, "which is causing further suspicion that the company is withholding the requested data due to concern for what Mr. Musk's own analysis of that data will uncover."
The move adds to speculation that Musk is trying to wriggle free of the agreement, which comes with a $1 billion breakup fee, though his past tweets suggest he may try to get around that cost.

Today I’m investigating Twitter for potentially misleading Texans on the number of its “bot” users. I have a duty to protect Texans if Twitter is misrepresenting how many accounts are fake to drive up their revenue.https://t.co/OZbwdV3pnY— Texas Attorney General (@TXAG) June 6, 2022

admittedly they do look pretty striking & neat right out of the factory, the problem is I bet they'll all look like dogshit after 15,000 miles, not to mention all the "this is why nobody designs cars like this" problems that'll be discovered along the way

It looks like a shop class welding project where you only get a passing grade if your welded box can hold water. (I speak from experience.)

it has a bed in the back, also 4wd etc offroad stuff, tho its supposedly not body on frame which is maybe the prime truck thing they say it has "an exoskeleton" whatever that means https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2019/11/22/tesla-cybertruck-uses-stainless-steel-exoskeleton-rather-than-traditional-body-on-frame/

the entire "look, it won't dent" thing is kind of dumb because if you're actually using a truck for work, nobody cares if the vehicle gets dinged up. the worst risk is enough paint gets scraped off that you end up with rust and corrosion
now, if you're worried about people throwing bricks and rocks at your fancy rolling fortress for... reasons.. then having a dent-proof exterior makes sense

My dad designed and made a couple of recumbent bikes in the late '80s that used 100% riveted structural sheet metal instead of a welded frame. Apparently he was 30 years ahead of the (nonexistent) curve.

For all you haters mocking Musk's future-tank, well, I'll have you know that Ignaz Semmelweis was the first to discover the importance of hand washing to maintaining basic hygiene, and he was mocked, too. In the future *all* cars will look like vintage 16-bit video game vehicles, and Musk will be counting money. Until he dies from a communicable disease easily avoided by hand washing.
