    That must be why I got dozens of bots today wringing their fake hands over Biden's handling of Ukraine and declaring we have our own problems here.

    When he first started to flirt with buying the company and he was accumulating shares, he was critical of them because there were too many bots and HE was just the guy to fix it. Then, when he realized that financially he had bit off more than he could chew and way overpaid, and he was trying to get out of the deal he agreed to, he claimed that there were too many bots, so he shouldn't be forced to make good on what he agreed to. Then, he took control, and anecdotally, the number of bots has exploded. Now. ... he's going to purge bots. He's just the guy to do it, too.

    I saw 3 truckloads of Tesla Cybertrucks getting hauled down the 101 the other day and I couldn’t believe how shitty they looked. The door panels were discolored like a 9 year old dishwasher’s, and even though they were passing by in the opposite direction I could see how large the body panel gaps were. Just hideous. CyberAztek indeed.

    Stealing that.

    I can only assume each purchase comes with a lifetime supply of Barkeeper’s Friend.

    It is an aggressively shitty looking vehicle, and its sole purpose seems to be to test the floor for what Musk fanboys will buy.

    When Tesla shit out the 3, I saw some early models in parking lots and the panel gaps were absurd.

    Complaints about Tesla have been the same for years. Poor production and high repair costs. The Cybertruck looks like the epitome of those complaints. We'll see. Tesla has come out of this before somehow.

    One of my neighbors has a Tesla, somebody pulled out in front of him two weeks ago and caused a wreck. My neighbor hasn't been able to find anybody willing or able to do the front-end work.

    Tesla cutting 10% of its employees. It seems Elon is embracing the "do more with less" mentality of most newspaper publishers.

    As we prepare the company for the next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and increasing productivity,” Mr. Musk told employees in an email, a copy of which was reviewed by The New York Times.
