    Space X has allowed Chinese investment despite the company being a US military contractor. Though China cannot directly invest in the company, company officials encourages investment through offshore accounts like the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, and the British Virgin Islands. A recent court case in Delaware brought this practice to light. One of Space X's top investors, Iqbaljit Kahlon, has been acting as the middleman for many of these transactions.

    the one significant advantage tesla has going for them atm is they aren't affected by tariffs like all the rest of the auto industry. their steel and parts are all american made

    so while their total sales revenue is taking a dip, their per unit margins are going to be better than ever due to lower cost of goods compared to their competitors... ford is getting murdered

    in short his total worth is going down but his actual cash in pocket is increasing

    Tesla sales have declined even further. Revenue fell 12 per cent to US$22.5 billion this quarter, the sharpest decline in at least a decade.

    A jury in Miami has determined that Tesla should be held partly liable for a fatal 2019 Autopilot crash, and must compensate the family of the deceased and an injured survivor a portion of $329 million in damages.

    Tesla’s payout is based on $129 million in compensatory damages, and $200 million in punitive damages against the company.

    Investigation reveals that SpaceX has foreign investors from China, Russia, and Qatar (royal family in this case). All of which would have access to US military contracts and supply chain information.

    The Grok assistant inside a Tesla asked a 12 year old boy to send it his nudes when the boy asked Grok to alert him when soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo scored next.

    Bro, he said he was roleplaying. That makes it ok! Everyone knows if you're roleplaying then pedophilia isn't a crime

    I didnt want to be the one to say it.

    Cause like, yah its still really bad the AI just asks for nudes, but at the same time, its fucking Elon Musks weird perverted AI? You know the same one that praised Hitler and he constantly rips the brains out of when it makes him look dumb? The same one that (I believe) he made his creepy little Goth GF AI Bot public with and you hand it to your kids? The way she talks to it tells me this ain't her first rodeo with the AI either and knows this thing has Adult+ Content(which she said was turned off) and a Kids only Mode(which she wasnt using)

    I mean you gotta remember the 70% of people aren't as terminally online so they probably own their TESLUR and were like "oh it has an AI now? Cool sure" and didn't think anything of it since also probably not the most attentive parents either lol. I don't think the average person if you told them Grok was calling itself mecha hitler would understand wtf you're talking about initially because it would be brand new to them, or maybe they saw a clip of it on a late show or local news while making dinner and didn't remember it the next day.
