Give us time, it's why I said "sooner or later." I remain firm in my conviction that as a whole, we are bad for each other and worse for the planet.

Twitter's own lawyers refute Elon Musk's claim that the ‘Twitter Files' exposed US government censorship

Just like Donny, Elon is a serial liar.

Basically, Twitter’s own lawyers are admitting in a court filing that the guy who owns their company is spewing utter nonsense about what the Twitter Files revealed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like this.

Guy takes over company because he’s positive that there are awful things happening behind the scenes. Gives “full access” to a bunch of very ignorant journalists who are confused about what they find. Guy who now owns the company falsely insists that they proved what he believed all along, leading to the revival of a preternaturally stupid lawsuit… only to have the company’s lawyers basically tell the judge “ignore our stupid fucking owner, he can’t read or understand any of this.”

Yet, our boy Whell believed it. LOL.

Sounds more like a marriage of convenience and certainly yet another revenue stream for Tesla. Since Tesla was first to the market, they have a lot of EV charging stations, especially in urban areas (I can only speak of of Norcal & Reno from experience). And Tesla does gouge especially by bumping up the rates between 11am and 9pm (or even later) depending on location.

So this helps Ford and GM by not having to build their own stations or depend on government infrastructure while providing Tesla additional revenues without having to invest much.

Lot of the suburban EV owners charge at home, so this only affects the city apartment dwellers.

I'm not sure that Dondilion didn't see this article as being complimentary of Musk.

It is a trait of authoritarians to admire "strong leaders who overcome opposition to get their way" for being strong leaders who overcome opposition to get their way.
