"Things Are Bad At Tesla And They're About To Get Much Worse

Forbes

Mar 28, 2025 Forbes Daily Briefing

The EV company's sales are tanking in all major markets as its Chinese rivals are surging. But Tesla's problems are just beginning."

- What a gash.

I always knew that ShrimpD was actually a gash.... now he's a Nazi-loving gash.

Who 'thinks' that Wisc law is illegal.

"Musk, who is the world's wealthiest person and is running President Donald Trump's initiative to slash the size of the federal workforce, has given $3 million to the Wisconsin GOP while groups he supports have funneled more than $17 million into the race.

The contributions are part of an extraordinary spending spree in the race, making it by far the most expensive judicial race on record in the U.S. Total spending has eclipsed $80 million with days still to go before the final day of voting on April 1.

Schimel's critics have accused Musk of trying to buy a favorable ruling for Tesla should the dealership case make it to the state Supreme Court.

Here are details of the law and Musk's lawsuit:" see thread link

Hey now, if a minor billionaire like Trump can own the US Supreme Court, there's no reason why a real billionaire like Musk can't purchase a piddling State Supreme Court.... by paying cash for votes.

Sad.

Yeah... the new Space X Limited version.

"Putin's 275,000 Aurus Senat burst into a roaring blaze on a street just north of Moscow's FSB secret service Lubyanka headquarters. The car is believed to be owned by Putin's Presidential Property Management Department, with reports not yet revealing who was using the car when the shocking incident occurred."

"Reports say those in the car weren't injured. Separately, footage showed servicemen from a ceremonial guard in Murmansk being individually body searched by a Federal Protection Service [FSO] officer for hidden weapons or explosive devices as they stood waiting for the Kremlin dictator to lay a wreath by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

According to reports, magazines were removed from their guns and plugs fitted into the chambers amid acute fears that Putin may be in danger of assassination from his own troops, with every member of the Russian's honour guard searched.

Putin recently boarded nuclear submarine Arkhangelsk to declare: "Not long ago I said we'd grind them [Ukraine] down " now it looks like we'll finish them off."

How unlucky.

- What are you talking about?

Sorry, I was speaking English again.

"Social Security is on a path to privatization, experts warn, led by Elon Musk's DOGE'"

Kim Jong-un has State
stenographers who follow him everywhere
and scribble his genius ideas into their
notebooks and applaud

well Republicans that's you now

This is something that should have been done years (decades) ago... but that's no reason to try to do what experts say is a 2 or 3 year job in a couple of months.

Unless of course one wants to disrupt services and discredit Soc Sec so that it sounds like a better idea to privatize it.

Which is the goal.

It's a toss up as to whether he is more evil or more incompetent.

Together a dangerous mix indeed.

Let's see how he (they?) like this one!

"Two More REPUBLICAN-APPOINTED Judges Rule AGAINST Trump's Executive Orders

Mar 29, 2025

Donald Trump seems to spend his days golfing and signing unconstitutional executive orders. Two more federal court judges just halted executive orders Trump signed to punish law firms who displeased him for one reasons or another.

And one of the Republican-appointed judges, Judge Richard Leon, had some choice words for the absurd arguments that were made in court by Trump's DOJ lawyers, saying:

"Have you ever practiced law? Have you had clients? Then use your common sense."

= actually watch the presser.

Cultist Believes Cult Propaganda! Video at 11:00!

Thanks, Trumpers!

Fishpuddy makes sure that everyone knows that he's not got any actual argument about the facts, ever, either.

The Cult Hive Mind is strong in this one..... because there was plenty of extra room in there.

"Musk and colleagues insisted Thursday that Social Security is plagued by fraud, claiming that 40% of calls to phone centers in some cases were fraudulent and that 15 million "living" people age 120+ were on the agency's rolls

;;
-
"Social Security's acting commissioner has repeatedly downplayed those fraud allegations and said the actual tally was on the order of $100 million a year, a small fraction of 1% of what the agency pays out.

By the numbers: Anger over Musk-driven cuts has spilled over to his business interests, particularly Tesla, whose shares have lost a third of their value this year."

Let's repeat that... Soc Sec pays less than 1 percent of it's Budget for Administration.

None of Musk's companies does that.

Corporations typically allocate around 20-25% of their revenue to administrative expenses, but this can vary significantly based on industry, size, and other factors.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

"The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that Trump's team, led by Kari Lake, "usurped Congressional power and acted arbitrarily" in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.

They also claimed that the Trump administration violated a law that ensured that there would be a "firewall" to ensure the editorial integrity of VOA and other networks.

"The disturbing result: In many parts of the world a crucial source of objective news is gone, and only censored state-sponsored news media is left to fill the void," the plaintiffs said in their lawsuit."

And worse, your lack of any semblance of actual thought, any original insults, even, is enough to assure us that you are an incredibly shallow, substance-free troll, bereft of any saving graces.

"She added that she now "regrets" voting for Trump. "To cut the knees out of the working-class Americans just doesn't make sense to me. I expected more from President Donald Trump," she said."

I too am shocked that billionaires running the Gov would act like self-serving spoiled brats, willing to roll over any law or any person or any group in their way.

No one could have predicted... oh, wait, some of us did.

#26 opines that you are a ridiculous caricature of a thinking human being... and that you care not a whit about the obvious Hitlerization of your country.

Or at least you care more about the horse race than the final results.

None of which you have an argument against.
