The stock price crash hasn’t gone far enough yet, as these cars continue to cause massive drain on emergency response. This video shows Texas police smashing a window and cutting and airbag to pull a young man out a Tesla window.

According to The Colony Police Department, the crash happened on July 19, around 1:30 a.m. in the 5700 block of South Colony Boulevard.

The vehicle was pinned between two dividing barriers between the southbound and northbound lanes of the South Colony Boulevard overpass.

Officers first tried to extinguish the fire but it kept reigniting. They then used a metal breaching tool to break a window and pull the driver out.

Why was the Tesla driving between dividing barriers at 0130? Autopilot is suspected.

The real reason for the Musk family X fetish is his grandpa’s 1930s Technocracy (white ethno-state) fantasy, which is a lesser-known derivation of a basic Nazi Swastika or KKK cross of the early 1900s.

Not all X are swastikas, but all swastikas are a cross, in other words. Who can forget…?

When asked to sign the entry-forms with the customary “X”, the Jewish immigrants would refuse, because they associated an X with the cross of Christianity.”

So it should be no surprise that people who already own and use an X as their trademark — without any intended hate speech — really don’t appreciate Musk’s Nazi-themed appropriation.

Virginia-based Multiply has created social-media ad campaigns for drink brands including Arizona, Corona and Liquid Death. The firm said it adopted “X” branding in 2019 and owns a federal trademark covering its “X” logo.

According to the complaint, the Twitter rebrand has already confused some of Multiply’s existing and prospective clients, many of which overlap with X Corp’s. Multiply asked the court to force X Corp to stop using the “X” trademark and to award an unspecified amount of monetary damages.

xTwitter is still basically Twitter because a swastika rebrand continues to cause so much confusion.

The man who identifies as the founder of Tesla despite not being a part of the founding of the company, explained that the site formerly known as ‘Twitter’ no longer identifies with birds or being a social media site, and now deserves to be respected for who they really are even if others might not agree with it.

“Why won’t you just accept X for who it is?” asked the billionaire. “Brands aren’t a binary thing, they are a construct and we don’t identify with the brand we were given so we have decided to become who we really are. What kind of cruel person would keep using the name or descriptors we don’t identify with anymore?”

I’ve been waiting patiently to see if anyone picks up this important story, but alas I’ve seen no coverage. Basically Europol is quietly calling out big tech on content moderation.

This coordinated operation, which was led by authorities in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, took place on 27 June 2024. The operation involved law enforcement agencies from 18 countries, working in tandem with Europol’s European Union Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU) and major online service providers. […] The focus of the Referral Action Day stems from the rise of widespread antisemitism justified and cultivated in Jihadi-spheres and right-wing, as well as left-wing, extremist groups online. […] National Internet Referral Units and specialised police units from the following countries took part in this Referral Action Day: Albania, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

It was a record setting first half of this year as Tesla sales completely crashed, setting a record decline.

Tesla’s second-quarter net income fell 45% compared with a year ago as the company’s global electric vehicle sales tumbled despite price cuts and low-interest financing.

The Austin, Texas, company said Tuesday that it made $1.48 billion from April through June, less than the $2.7 billion it made in the same period of 2023. It was Tesla’s second-straight quarterly net income decline.

Tesla offering big price cuts and low interest terms led to income collapse, on top of rapidly collapsing demand that it was supposed to slow.

The CEO has promised the street he will sell more than twice as many cars by the end of the year.

For the first half of the year, Tesla has sold about 831,000 vehicles worldwide, far short of the more than 1.8 million for the full year that CEO Elon Musk has predicted.

And if the California market is any signal, the rest of the year could get even worse for Tesla.

Registrations of Tesla cars in California fell 24% in the April to June period, marking the third consecutive quarter that the company posted a sales drop in its key market…

Meanwhile other EV makers are seeing huge sales jumps and high demand. For one obvious example, Toyota:

In Q2, Toyota sold 247,347 electrified vehicles (up 63% year-over-year), representing nearly 40% of the group’s total volume.

A 63% jump! And when you isolate for BEV vehicles that Q2 jump goes over 100%. This success is completely the inverse story to Teala’s failure. EV sales overall are strong.

There’s no reason to believe Tesla can compete in the future.
