Yes I'm saying Jalopnik's interpretation is fake news. Gotcha
"In other words, gasoline cars are not economically feasible without government subsidy."
There, fixed it for ya
Another hit job clickbait article by a Jalopnik short, famous for their biased coverage. Of all the articles to post on Tesla earnings, why couldn't Slashdot choose a more objective source?
Intel is truly a dinosaur, incapable of pivoting away from the awful x86 ISA that has failed miserably in the mobile space.
When people say public transit, the vast majority of the time it's referring to buses. The vast majority of buses are dirty diesel guzzling pollution spewers. Buses are extremely wasteful unless they're packed to the gills. Most of the time I see buses they're less than 1/4 full. They don't save any emissions compared to automobiles in those cases.
While I'm no fan of e-scooters, they do help reduce emissions to some degree. They're not zero-emissions, but neither are cars or buses. The whole manufacturing cost is a wash. Cars and buses take a helluva lot of resources to manufacture AND maintain.
There are certainly cases where people could just walk instead of using a scooter. People pay for convenience, just like some people hop in the car to go 5 blocks to a store. Comparatively, scooters are better than automobiles.
There are many cases where the ride is longer than a comfortable walk. Ever tried walking 15 mi in the summer heat for a lunch break? Come back to the office wreaking of sweaty BO. Scooters are much better than cars, and probably significantly better than buses in most cases.
The tech field (engineering, science, etc) is a rather tedious, often dry profession. Employers want workers to churn out product, with little regard to whether the workers fully understand the product or are valued.
Add to that the common asshat manager who, maybe bullied at youth and now empowered to control others, feels it's their duty to control and terrorize their underlings. You might scoff at such exaggeration, but exaggerate I do not. I've seen it so many times it's simply pathetic.
Someone wanting to take over an autonomous army wouldn't be hacking individual drones (unless maybe they're all in the same spot). The lowest barrier to takeover is to hack central command. This could be done from the inside or out. Protecting against all avenues of attack is incredibly difficult.
Your rationale is exactly how companies get into trouble with security. Consider only the hardest avenues of attack and claim it's secure. Hackers don't go after the the hardest vectors, they go after the most vulnerable.
"Never" been hacked before, so must be unhackable.

Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project =
CeHMPAMP
or at best
CHMAMP
At this point, why bother with matching abbreviations. Call it Big Microwave Shooter Missile, or CHAMP.
A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
