  1. That is a 5 year old article. Here is one from March: Tesla shareholders: Who owns the most TSLA stock? Elon Musk is Tesla’s largest individual shareholder, owning 412.6 million shares, representing 13.04% of the stock.
  2. No. I'm talking about removing the clown from management. Wikipedia: Shareholder rebellion Shareholder rebellion occurs when the owners of a corporation work to throw out management or oppose their decisions.
  3. Time for a shareholder rebellion: Survey Shows Elon Musk Is Driving Tesla Model 3 Owners Away From The Brand And: Tesla created secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints Tesla years ago began exaggerating its vehicles’ potential driving distance – by rigging their range-estimating software. The company decided about a decade ago, for marketing purposes, to write algorithms for its range meter that would show drivers “rosy” projections for the distance it could travel on a full battery, according to a person familiar with an early design of the software for its in-dash readouts. Then, when the battery fell below 50% of its maximum charge, the algorithm would show drivers more realistic projections for their remaining driving range, this person said. To prevent drivers from getting stranded as their predicted range started declining more quickly, Teslas were designed with a “safety buffer,” allowing about 15 miles (24 km) of additional range even after the dash readout showed an empty battery, the source said. The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said.
  4. I could imagine this as a John Cleese / Michael Palin skit.
  5. I just watched the PBS documentary I posted in post 111. A couple things I learned: 1. The jury (all white of course) acquitted based on the defense's argument that they could not prove the body found was Emmett Till. Thanks of course to the face being beaten beyond recognition. 2. 4 months after the trial, the two murderers sold their story to "Look" magazine for $4000. Thanks to double jeopardy rules, they could tell what they did without fear of prosecution. Their story did not impicate anyone else, although there is suspicion other people may have been involved.
  6. This one? PBS - American Experience - The Murder of Emmett Till
  7. How insecure must a redneck hick be, to worry that a 14yo kid is going to steal his wife???
  8. With Mrs. Bryant’s death, the truth of what happened that August day may now never be clear. More than half a century after the murder, Timothy B. Tyson, a Duke University historian who interviewed her, wrote that she had admitted to him that she had perjured herself on the witness stand to make Emmett’s conduct sound more threatening than it actually was — serving, in Dr. Tyson’s words, as “the mouthpiece of a monstrous lie.” “She said with respect to the physical assault on her, or anything menacing or sexual, that that part isn’t true,” Dr. Tyson told “CBS This Morning” in 2017.

  9. If he recovers, then I would suspect a transient ischemic attack. If he does not recover, then an ordinary stroke.
  10. From what I've read, the success of SpaceX is attributable to Gwynne Shotwell, not Musk.
  11. Elmo plans to take his case to SCOTUS that he should be allowed to lie to investors: Musk plans Supreme Court appeal after losing bid to terminate SEC settlement
  12. Sounds like the loony tune was spreading typical right-wing conspiracy "theories" against the hospital. Ammon Bundy must pay millions for defamation campaign against hospital: Jury
  13. And they honor their crooks! In 1988 Speaker Jim Wright resigned in the midst of an ethics investigation. To this day there is still a "Jim Wright Freeway" on the Nortwest side of Fort Worth.
  14. My gosh! Paxton could be poised to defeat Trump in the primaries!!!
  15. "Silent majority"??? Good gawd! We are now recycling Nixon-era cliches???
  16. I always have a tab to Twitter open on my browser, but I don't post to it. I follow my governor, senators, representative, local PD, and several news reporters. It is a way to get very early alerts of breaking news. Also, when opening Twitter, it always automatically goes to the "For you" tab, which crams a non-stop spew of trash into my feed. I must manually select the "Following" tab in order to limit it to accounts I have actually selected.
  17. Oh yes, this should solve all the problems, but only if they also get rid of the cuckoo at the top of the hierarchy: The Hill: Musk says Twitter changing brand, eliminating ‘all the birds’
  18. They did a nice Youtube video with the song, but it is NSFW. Just search for "The Loophole by Garfunkel and Oates".

  20. "Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces." ;-)
  21. I will believe it when it has been confirmed by a reputable source.
  22. This is great! LOL! Hope he takes her advice.
