A speeding ticket for like .0000000000001% of your daily income.

$46 billion for a guy who never delivers on his promises, has dropped the stock 30% in a year, layed off their most successful division (the charging network), and has let his company fall behind in tech in a space where they were waaaaay ahead. Also the cyber truck is an absolute joke. Oh right, and pissed off Tesla's strongly left leaning customer base.

If those 14,000 employees cost an average of $150k each, that's still only $2.1 billion. Those employees were vastly more useful than the dipshit at the helm.

If Tesla doesn't separate from Musk, they deserve to go under. Astonishing that they haven't sent him packing already.

I know they're hiring... but when?

Sounds like a while lot of fraud to me. I don't understand how he is about to keep diverting resources from Tesla to his other companies, unless they're tied together under some corporate entity. At a minimum he's stealing from the shareholders. Why have the shareholders not voted him out yet?

It takes a lot of something to drive a company into the ground and demand $56 billion for doing it.

I watched an interview with the head of the FTC. Paraphrasing, she said if a company screws you over and you keep coming back, it's probably a monopoly. In this case a duopoly. I'd love to see our regulators get some teeth.

In the meantime, I'm wading into the Linux pool.

I've heard the Planet Waves are nice. Not sure if they would require drilling.

If your budget is too tight for locking tuners, maybe you can find some take-offs from someone who upgraded to an expensive set.

I put these on my SG recently. One of my stock tuners died and I couldn't find a replacement. I could have sworn I only paid $100... But maybe I just told myself that to feel better about the purchase.

Anyway, they're pricey, but easy to put on and they work nice. My only complaint is that the mounting plate looks like cheap metal. For that price you would think the plates would be polished. On the other hand, they're on the back of the guitar and mostly covered by the tuners anyway.

Nothing snapped. He has always been a piece of shit. He's been a liar, cheat, rapist, fraud, moron, and a piss poor businessman his entire life. There are no shortage of stories backed by very real evidence. Much of it is on video. The difference is that now it's out in the open, and for some reason that appeals to fellow idiots and racists.

The real story is how broken our education and legal systems are. I knew there were problems, but it's so much worse than I could have imagined.

There's easier, more effective battles to fight. People aren't giving up their SUV's, and they are a symptom of a bigger problem anyway. Good public transportation could eliminate millions of cars, roads, and road maintenance.

A few other ideas:

  • Coal power is disgusting and doesn't even make sense economically anymore.
  • Cruise ships and mega yachts should flat out be banned. They use a ton of energy and dump sewage right into the ocean
  • Heavily tax gas powered lawnmowers. They have a surprisingly large environmental impact because they have no pollution controls and often burn a mixture of oil and gas.

He probably sold it for $30 million

He looks like Jim Carrey in The Mask after a kid need with the colors on the TV.

My guess would be the PSU as well. It could be dead, or not plugged in right, or underpowered. Pulling out the GPU is a great idea. At least if it boots that provides some direction.
