In a response to a tweet about the vehicle on Twitter, Elon Musk noted that a 1.1-second 0-60 mph time was indeed possible with the Roadster SpaceX Package, which uses cold gas thrusters. Interestingly enough, the CEO said that the Roaster would still be a safe vehicle despite its rocket parts, though its acceleration would be intense, akin to a “hardcore roller coaster.” But just to be safe, Elon Musk noted that the Tesla Roadster SpaceX Package’s full acceleration would probably not be wise for those with a medical condition. This is sound advice considering that the vehicle would likely put G forces comparable to a literal rocket launch when it accelerates at full power.

On Oct. 12, 2020, Fox News agreed to pay millions of dollars to the family of a murdered Democratic National Committee staff member, implicitly acknowledging what saner minds knew long ago: that the network had repeatedly hyped a false claim that the young staff member, Seth Rich, was involved in leaking D.N.C. emails during the 2016 presidential campaign. (Russian intelligence officers, in fact, had hacked and leaked the emails.)

Why did Fox care about keeping the Rich settlement secret for the final month of the Trump re-election campaign? Why was it important to the company, which calls itself a news organization, that one of the biggest lies of the Trump era remain unresolved for that period? Was Fox afraid that admitting it was wrong would incite the president’s wrath? Did network executives fear backlash from their increasingly radicalized audience, which has been gravitating to other conservative outlets?

The evidence and the science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people—because he rejects evidence and science. The most devastating example is his dishonest and inept response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which cost more than 190,000 Americans their lives by the middle of September. He has also attacked environmental protections, medical care, and the researchers and public science agencies that help this country prepare for its greatest challenges. That is why we urge you to vote for Joe Biden, who is offering fact-based plans to protect our health, our economy and the environment. These and other proposals he has put forth can set the country back on course for a safer, more prosperous and more equitable future.

Days after offering 1,255 free ventilators to help deal with the coronavirus outbreak, Tesla boss Elon Musk said the company's New York factory will restart to make more.

"Giga New York will reopen for ventilator production as soon as humanly possible. We will do anything in our power to help the citizens of New York," he tweeted on Wednesday.

Expectations were high this quarter after Tesla destroyed earnings expectations with surprisingly high profits last quarter. Today, Tesla announced that it made $7.384 billion in revenue and it reported surprising profits of $2.14 per share (Non-GAAP) in Q4 2019 – over expectations for both revenue and earnings. The automaker continues to improve its financial position with strong results and increased its cash position by almost $1 billion to now $6.3 billion.

Today’s price move should produce enough short covering to threaten the four and a half year low of 24.2 million shares shorted on January 28th, 2019. The next low point would be 23.8 million shares shorted in July of 2015. If the long-term Tesla shorts begin to capitulate the 20 million shares shorted level of July 2013 would be the next milestone to fall.
