to be clear, there is not. he just did not take out a tesla margin loan to buy twitter - thought about it, did not do it. (that said, he had previously pledged shares to secure personal indebtedness, who knows what's up with that.)— Matt Levine (@matt_levine) December 29, 2022

look this is America, people like Elon will never cease to be indefensibly rich. if Trump taught us one thing it's that with the right combination of luck and rich parents you can be in a spot where you cannot fail no matter how much you fuck up. you can even steal national security secrets and plot to overthrow the government and nothing will happen. the only time in your life you could ever possibly face a consequence is by defrauding someone even richer than you. that said none of this really matters because Elon is so clearly a miserable sod who so desperately wants to be funny and well-liked but he just doesn't have the ability to. decades of being spoiled and rich has left him utterly unable to form a single original thought and it drives him crazy. I mean this dude could be doing literally anything he wants to and instead he's just namesearching himself on Twitter and replying "So true!" to guys who couldn't even hack it in Trump's White House. he's the most cringe human being that's ever existed.

Pretty solid Musking™️ from Tesla here. Choking on inventory, slash the price $7,500, collect cash from buyers (juice the Dec 31 cash balance), then delay delivery, revoke the cash and SC mile incentives (might as well get the margins back up while we’re at it) and send a bill. pic.twitter.com/po5uONIXzI— Keubiko (@Keubiko) December 30, 2022

The margin loan issue is interesting. If he did, he’d might, surprisingly, be in a better spot since there’d be some finality. The worst thing he can do is let Twitter slowly drain Tesla.

I’ve been asking everyone I know who might know something whether Musk has been shopping Twitter. Nobody has heard anything. That’s so insane to me. I’m positive there’s a deal somewhere. Most people think the lack of any discussion is because of the FTC (and the European regulatory body whose name I forgot) and/or a belief that we’re about to enter the worst recession of our lives (see that billionaire bomb shelter article from a few months back).

kind of wondered when the $7500 was contingent on taking delivery by December 31st if they actually had any cars ready to deliver. seems like an insane bait and switch

tbh I assumed they had a handful of cars to clear out and knew they’d be oversold/underdelivered

Or basically this dumb thread
People who look over their shoulder to check their blind spot when changing lanes on a motorway, classic or fucking terrifying?
Huh, wonder if (CA) regulators can point to a screenshot of a tweet about evading regulations to keep them off the street?
In the event any of them do ever make it to the road it's going to be a moral imperative to fuck them up at every opportunity.

teslas have the side cameras don't they? so that's probably why all the tesla stans think they don't need side mirrors.

So I guess the appeal of these is that fanboys think it looks like some Robocop military vehicle? Is that the deal, like a next-gen Hummer kind of thing? Because they're so objectively ugly and awkward that it's just hard for me to imagine anyone wanting one.

jeez that blind spot thread
it seemed slightly annoying the first time I was in a car that had the little light up "there's a car next to you, dude" indicator on the side mirrors but it makes sense after looking at what people think
obviously a Tesla with side cameras would just say "it's cool it's just a child, merge on"
― mh, Monday, 2 January 2023 03:56 (one year ago) link
My car has sensors that beep if I signal or start to pull into a lane that someone's in. I still check my blind spots, but it's a handy failsafe.
