They are back to censoring people now. Elon isn't in charge and those that are, are in fact increasingly censoring people like the good old days.
It didn't take long; perhaps 3 weeks.
Of course it didn't help that the hatemongers that Elon ordered reinstated such as Kanye & Nick Fuentes quickly had to be banned again because they were a bit *too* free with the speech, even for Elon's liking
that's a cool ability; i possess it to an extent but not anywhere as comprehensive as you describe.
What's your profession? Are you an artist? Can you draw from memory?
Quite a lot of the fanbase thinks exactly that & that the price cuts are merely Elon's commitment to his statement that the cars are too expensive & interest rates too high.
The new factories are going to lose money for years, which will be partly offset by the very subsidies that Elon claims not to need but for which he's very good at obtaining.
I thought the brightest object in the universe was Elon Musk!

No, they discovered it now.
If I dig in my garden and I find a 600 year old coin, it means I found it now, not 600 years ago.
Not the same thing. You're looking at a 12 billion year old live stream.
Even the state of our own local star isn't ever "now" - what we see is 8 minutes behind "now"
I think you replied to the wrong post
Take a good look at the amount of times Tesla has made significant price cuts in the past couple years - so much so that rental car fleets have stopped buying Teslas partly because the resale values have become a big money loser for them.
If Tesla demand is "crazy, nutty, off the hook", there would be no need to slash prices. I hope no one is naive enough to believe Elon is merely being charitable
A Guardian article came to the same conclusion but included several important caveats at the end.
For example, EVs are much newer than the rest of the public passenger fleet, they burn several times hotter, require a staggering amount of water to extinguish and, most worrying, have a propensity to reignite hours or even days later.
These are not small caveats & will become a very big deal as EVs replace ICEs
who did they conquer, displace or eradicate?
"She's the only one on Earth, besides him, who can decide if it was a disservice. You're not in the position to make that call"
You don't or can't know that. She's elderly too which means the likelihood of her suffering her own health catastrophe grows ever more likely & if that happens the family now has TWO sets of problems, one of which they could have been preparing for years.
I've seen both scenarios, the good thing is that the family with an otherwise healthy grandmother who began to slide into dementia, didn't keep it a secret.
The close family & friends were all made aware - so that one lovely summer day when she wandered off unobserved & we were frantically running up and down every street, one of our buddies had already found her TWO MILES away.
Since he knew her condition, he didn't just smile & wave as he would have done if we'd kept the secret - he grabbed her, put her on the back of his motorbike, stuck his helmet on her head and brought her back, giggling & smiling like she was the teen she no doubt imagined herself to be.
"We'll just shift to other continents"
That's a well-established European tradition but they don't want you now any more than they wanted you then
"The final nails in the coffin was Climate Gate, the mere idea that so called scientists were caught making shit up to get funding"
what shit did they make up?
"it's just taking $5 billion of taxpayer money and creating a new government organization responsible for doling out that money to private companies, many of whom are already very wealthy and fairly entrenched in research"
That's the American Way (tm)
