The fee works out to an hourly rate of $288,888, they said." #Tesla
“It’s extremely concerning that X has rolled out a new feature that has serious implications for users privacy and security quietly, without making users aware of the changes.
Profit is the motivating factor over user safety and security.”

But will he donate to Trump’s legal fund? 🤔
Via The Hill:
“#Musk says he won't spend on presidential race after reports of Trump meeting
Billionaire tech and media mogul Elon Musk said he will not be giving money to either President #Biden or #Trump this year as the two prepare to face off in the fall. "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President“
The cool thing about the Tesla truck is it came out well after #Musk outed himself as an actual and activist neo-Nazi so, while some of the other Tesla owners might've just wanted an EV, if you see a Tesla truck? Yeah, whoever is driving that is just a 100% ethnic-cleaning-advocating Klansman rich enough to buy an $80,000 rust-friendly garbage car just to signal his fealty to the Grand Dragon.
So, y'know, anything that MIGHT happen to that truck is fine.
Via Andrew Weissmann:
My guess: #Trump may have someone like #Musk co-signing Chubb bond, so the bank is comfortable being on the hook for the judgment. Same could happen for the bond for AG $450M judgment. & this strategy wd allow co-signor to say truthfully that they did not give or loan Trump any $
Joyce Vance:
This=important pt. Trump is beholden to someone & we don't know who. Reporters shd ask him to explain all of the details. GOP leaders shd, but probably won't be esp concerned.
Via Sherrilyn Ifill:
As I’ve been saying. #Musk may now be the most far reaching & influential peddler of eugenicist & racist propaganda in our country. Unfit to be a partner with U.S. agencies or to receive U.S. taxpayer dollars. But he’s “too big to fail,” b/c so many political & business leaders have poor character discernment when blinded by wealth.
Elon Musk keeps spreading a very specific kind of racism.
As X further descends into the abyss, the platform becomes more X-rated & discourages those who provide content that helps the world know the news, politics & culture in "real-time" to stay.
It was Musk's intent, make X into a platform that props up his businesses, RW ideology, conspiracy theories, crypto shills, deviant content, while harming Dems, immigrants, unions, LGBTQ ppl, democracy, discourse, community, activists for climate, science, environment...

Yes, #Musk is indeed fully embracing the great replacement theory, and it's good that this is being called out.
But Musk going full extreme right is not just a problem for "his relationship to advertisers", it's a problem for society.
Exclusive: A U.S. lawmaker involved in health policy has asked the Food and Drug Administration why it did not inspect Elon #Musk's Neuralink before allowing the brain implant company to test its device in humans. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-lawmaker-seeks-answers-fda-inspection-musks-neuralink-2024-03-26/
