Twitter Obliterates Elon Musk's Excuses for Trying to Kill $44 Billion Deal in Blistering Court Filing

Twitter called Musk's claims "factually inaccurate, legally insufficient, and commercially irrelevant."
gizmodo.com gizmodo.com

Twitter decimated every one of Elon’s arguments for why he’s not obligated to buy the company like he agreed to.

For one, the 21st century’s PT Barnum claims there are far more bots than Twitter is admitting to. The tool he used to determine this lists Musk’s own account as likely a bot.

California DMV accuses Tesla of deceptive practices in marketing Autopilot and Full Self-Driving options

Elon Musk's electric car business risks more than its reputation -- the company could temporarily lose the licenses which allow it to operate in California.
www.cnbc.com www.cnbc.com

Man. Another bad day for this guy. But I don’t think “false advertising” covers it. The word is Fraud. Musk defrauded investors and customers by lying about the state of Tesla’s autopilot technology.

The past couple years living in the Free State I've gotten myself into conversation with several Oakley wearing dudes who, for whatever reason, decide to bring up Slavery and why it wasn't that bad. They all basically looked like this:

rUzJ3rQSyKTOfad93XJcX_8hmfFMQ4qzbvY67K-sR2A.jpg


Specifically, they all point out that slavery and indentured servitude have been practiced by many societies throughout history. And that's true. The difference is, American Slavery selected one specific race of people.... and developed this entire insane Race Science to justify enslavement. Not just for the individual slave, but for all of their descendants. That's an extra layer of horror and stupidity beyond the type of slavery practiced in the ancient world.

Mentioning this is an excellent way to end an unwanted convo with Oakley Dudes.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, his company worth up to $270 million: Economist

An economist says conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his company Free Speech Systems are worth up to $270 million

Two thoughts here. One, I'm in the wrong business. Scamming idiots is incredibly profitable. And it's a lazy, "nobody wants to work anymore", easy-ass way to make money.

First, tell your audience the water is turning frogs gay. Cut to a commercial where you sell a magic straw that removes the gayness from drinking water. Cash your hundred million dollar check. That all actually happened.

My second thought is... lots of commotion was made about that old lady going to Taiwan. Fears about a conflict with China, etc. But if there are enough slack jawed fucking morons in this country to make Info Wars into a NINE FIGURE per year company.... it's time for America to wave the white flag. Tell any young people you know to start learning Mandarin.

Edit: I forgot to mention. Here's how easy the scamming dumbasses business is. Jones, who's worth 9 figures, and generates up to 800k per day selling scam supplements told his audience he's "broke". So one of them sent him 8 million dollars in crypto to help fight the globullist pedophiles/do stochastic terrorism on grieving parents whose children were murdered.

The U.S. made a breakthrough battery discovery — then gave the technology to China

Taxpayers spent $15 million on research to build a breakthrough battery. Then the U.S. government gave it to China.

Fascinating article.

The Chinese company didn't steal this technology. It was given to them — by the U.S. Department of Energy. First in 2017, as part of a sublicense, and later, in 2021, as part of a license transfer. An investigation by NPR and the Northwest News Network found the federal agency allowed the technology and jobs to move overseas, violating its own licensing rules while failing to intervene on behalf of U.S. workers in multiple instances.

Yeah, moving decent paying jobs to China and leaving Americans with shitty service industry jobs has basically been the official policy of the US Government for longer than I've been alive at this point. This all seems about right, to me. Even if a US based corporation got control of the patents, my guess is they'd still choose to do the manufacturing overseas.

I Just Killed My Dad transforms into a portrait of behind-closed-doors cruelty that’s chilling precisely because its perpetrator so easily concealed it from the world. Moreover, it’s a reminder that often the truth about a crime, and a life, can only be attained by understanding the larger context in which it took place.

The peasant brains who worship Elon are really something else.

I guess whoever volunteered their small child’s life to prove Elon isn’t a complete fraud is an even bigger peasant brain than the guy who wants to run over said child with his Tesla.

Hopefully Elon would provide one of his kids....it would go a long way to showing how much he believes in his own tech.

EDIT: After some additional thought ...the above was just wrong...Elon would miss the kid. He is rather concerned with the lack of population growth.

OnlyFans bribed Meta to put thousands of porn stars on terror watchlist, suits claim

OnlyFans squashed online porn competitors with a bizarre scheme that bribed Meta employees to throw thousands of porn stars onto a terrorist watchlist, according to a group of explosive lawsuits.
nypost.com nypost.com

That ought to be the end of Facebook/Meta and Only fans and anyone else involved. If Meta is taking bribes to put porn stars on the terror watch list you better believe people are also being illegally added to the list for posts/0pinions and politics. 21000 people added to the terror watch list for profits? The list is now useless and they endangered everyone by destroying an anti terror tool for profit, unfucking acceptable.
