CTV: Tesla removed from Vancouver Auto Show
"...“The Vancouver International Auto Show has removed Tesla as a participant in this week’s event, after the automaker was provided multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw,” said Eric Nicholl, the show’s executive director, in a statement.
“The Vancouver Auto Show’s primary concern is the safety of attendees, exhibitors, and staff. This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the many positive elements of the event.”.."

Just a worthwhile reminder for #TeslaTakedown folks: #Tesla was never a real car company under #Musk. It was always an unprofitable grift propped up by massive government subsidies. The bubble was always going to pop at some point. It's always been vulnerable. There will never be robot taxis, or robots, or any of the other bullshit he's always promised to pump up the hype. That was always a lie.
The work you're doing is great and important, and you will win. Elon will find more ways to dump money into Tesla to prop up the stock, but, in the end, it will collapse. Tesla should have died a long time ago. You are attacking the only thing Tesla has: image. Keep going, you will win.
So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.
But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.
Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

Tesla stock jumped Friday because Trump's Department of Transportation scrapped some safety regulations that were preventing approval of Tesla's Full Self Driving.
I hope prospective buyers learn this fact and extract its key implication: "Elon admits that Tesla's Full Self Driving is unsafe and unfixable".

Elon Musk gutted the federal government, dismantled key institutions, and cut off food and medicine to some of the poorest people on the planet.
By leaving DOGE, he’s trying to restore his reputation and rescue his struggling businesses. He should never be allowed to recover.
