Motown Bombers

GM is the first company to actually put robotaxis on the road beating Tesla and has an actual hands off the wheel autonomous driving on freeways that Tesla still does not have. All autopilot is, is adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist but tell me more on how "advanced" Tesla is. He's a charlatan.

Ford already sells more EV trucks now than Tesla and GM was producing and selling an EV before Tesla ever existed. GM has already beaten Tesla in autonomous driving. Tesla was on the verge of bankruptcy in 2018 by Elon's own admission and didn't even start turning a profit on vehicles until last year. The whole allure to investing in Tesla is buying Elon's false promises. FSD he has been promising for 8 years now, one million robotaxis on the road (which GM has beaten Tesla there), an EV truck that was supposed to be in production by now, Roadster's that were actually sold 5 years ago that still aren't on the road, a hyperloop that is a single one lane tunnel that serves no purpose, robots that are just people in costumes, brain implants, putting people on Mars, and the list goes on. If Mary Barra and Jim Farley kept making these wild promises to pump their stock, they would have been out the door long ago. It's not a growth stock, it's snakeoil. Elon is using that funding to buy Twitter. Ford and GM would get raked over the coals if they decided to just buy Facebook for $50 billion. Elon is a charlatan. He's not genius.

Tesla's market value is more than about the 10 largest automakers combined despite Tesla producing significantly fewer vehicles than any of those automakers. Nobody invests in GM because of Mary Barra or Ford because of Jim Farley. Elon is very good at pumping the stock and his cult like investors eat it up. I don't find charlatans and snake oil salesmen admirable. You do apparently.

I understand. You admire a man who created a cult of adoring investors. They invest in Elon, not Tesla. They invest because they think Elon is on the verge of something revolutionary that's been a year away since 2014. They believe in his hyperloop that turned out to be a single lane tunnel of about 2 miles. They believe in his robot that was just a guy in a costume. He's a charlatan. It's fine if you admire charlatans.

She doesn't actually say she will campaign for Democrats but she didn't she wouldn't.

The irony being is that Tesla has done so well because Elon has got so many investors to adore him.

LOL Elon hasn't done shit for Tesla. He's just a master stock manipulator. He has a developed a cult like following. He's been promising FSD is one year away since 2014. He started charging $10,000 for the feature in 2016 that still doesn't exist. He sold Roadster's in 2017 for nearly $200k that still don't exist. He told us the Cybertruck would be in production by 2019. The factory isn't even built yet. He promises humanoid robots and instead we got a mannequin and a guy dancing in a costume. He's not genius. He's PT Barnum.

Thread.

With those things they wear on their helmets, I thought he was mixing it up with Malcolm Rodriguez when I first saw it.

Not interested pre-Dobbs. Since Dobbs we have seen a spike in registrations that favor Democrats, we have seen polling that favors Democrats, and we have seen elections that have favored Democrats. The momentum is with the Democrats right now. You can spew all the issue data you want, but elections are won and lost on cultural wars and the Democrats have a cultural war they can win.

I made my first round of donations. Donated to Marlinga, Scholten, Slotkin, Kilde, Mandela Barnes and Tim Ryan. I passed on Whitmer, Benson, Nessel, Fetterman and Kelly for now since they are well funded and the Republicans are dumping a lot of money in Ohio now.

We may not even see Okwara in a Lions uniform again. After this season, they can free up a lot of cap space by cutting him.

Just a reminder: His completion % was 69.5%, for 898 yards, 9 TDs, 2 INTs, and a 105.1 passer rating during that stretch. That rating was 4th during that stretch behind Rodgers, Mahomes and Burrow. Ben Johnson working the offense which also saw more involvement of St Brown, something that resembled a deep threat in Reynolds, and suddenly Goff looked more like 2018 Goff.

Goff was a different QB when Campbell and Johnson took over the offense and they signed Reynolds. I think Goff will have a Kirk Cousins type season. He'll have the numbers, he won't lose any games, maybe even win a game or two, and create serious debate if he's the future QB or not.

The US built one of the largest freeway networks in the world. They can build high speed rail if they wanted to. High speed doesn't need to be everywhere. You would probably want a high speed line from DC to Boston, New York to Chicago, and maybe one entirely within California from San Diego to San Francisco.
