@StillIRise1963 One should not decide on one topic only. That is how democracies and freedoms are lost ...unless you run yourself...no politician will represent you 100%
@arstechnica "inexplicably" ? When the business is to track an individual...how best do you do that ? car, phone, computer, tv, bathroom equipment. i bet tv and toilets with polestar brand is next.
Finally watched the Don Lemon interview with Musk, and while it doesn't reflect all that well on Lemon's interviewing chops, it (especially the aftermath) does highlight Musk's sleaziness and extremism.
The heart of the matter is that Musk is a clear and present danger to our media ecosystem -- and given his support for people who want to move us toward a right-wing dictatorship, a clear and present danger to our democracy.
@dangillmor Lemon was never a good journalist in my opinion...he was always after sensationalism...i remember how he was pandering to "The LHC will create a black hole that will destroy earth" when the LHC was going to be switched on. I suspect CNN put him front and centre for his good looks..till he showed his misogynistic side. Remember he made a deal to be on X...the town center of racists, mysogynes and fascists...definitely not a journalist in my book.

@lilithsaintcrow techno babble again and again...remember the dot.com bubble, the "new economy", block-chain cryptocurrency, now ML/AI. there is interesting technology...but everything else is just ponzi schemes.
JUST IN: #SCOTUS sets unusual, short-notice opinion release for Monday morning. Appears to signal that ruling on #Trump ballot eligibility is looming. #14thAmendment#legal
Very interesting to hear what #Toyota NA CEO Ted Ogawa has to say about #BEV investment in the US.
Essentially, Toyota is ignoring EPA guidelines about BEV mix and focusing entirely on customer demand, and they will not make BEVs in numbers higher than expected demand lest they waste their resources.
Toyota’s now-well-known reticence in jumping into the BEV bandwagon, preferring to sell #PHEVs instead, may prove to be the better bet. The EPA is likely to reduce their mandate for 50% BEV new car sales by 2030. If they do, then Toyota’s strategy would have been proven right.
“Former Rep. George #Santos (R-N.Y.) said he’d be interested in returning to Congress, just two weeks after he was removed from office and wrote off Congress.
It’s a stark reversal from previous comments about his future.
