Man, I like this dude. I always have. Might not agree with some of his views, but he is a good dude overall in my opinion.
That said..... the boy better get his act together.
That SpaceX disaster seems an apt reflection of how his time in the Trumpy Administration has gone so far. Destructing after launch and raining debris and trash down everywhere might be an omen. Tesla crashing. Twitter crashing. SpaceX on a failure streak. Already getting his wings clipped by Trumpy. Letting a former intern fire the nuclear team. Claiming there was $50M spent on condoms for Gaza. DOGE can't seem to find it's footing and contradicting claims abound about who even runs it. Hurting Little Rubio's feelings with a horrible job performance review.
Some of this is laughable. But he better pull it together if he wants to be remembered as a decent Vice President. :D

SpaceX just had a space plane that has been orbiting for over a year on secret missions return safely.
Hush-hush Space Force missions.

I see space x launches almost weekly from vandenberg. Starlink stuff, guv satellites , commercial satellites. Tesla doesnt have more recalls than the big three do. Failures in any new lift vehicles are not unusual in new models

I’d say this dude just has too many plates spinning in the air and some are bound to come crashing down. He needs to focus on what he’s supposed to be doing, driving innovation rather than jerking off at the White House. It’s the same as Boeing focusing on DEI and not building safe planes. When you take your focus off of what you’re supposed to be doing, things suffer.

The guys a whackjob, but who cares, they all are.
Bidens a kid-rapist (own daughter) and Kamel is just a whore who sucked caulk. (Like Prime Semen Guzzler).
Like the shitter admin, life goes on and will continue to do so... We got out of this 4 years of the worst and most corrupt admin in history.
We'll move FWD w/ this one as well...

Elon is an autistic Tony Stark.

Explain how you came up with the idea that I am at the receiving end of that corruption? And what corruption would this be?
Note: You might want to correct the wording in your last sentence, so it makes sense. Perhaps you can explain what exactly this 'corruption gravy train' is.

To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is “putting it on the line” in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s “baby,” in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for. They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out? In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American. Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???

Buy your new Tesla at Whitehouse Auto, located on what was formerly the front lawn of the Whitehouse. LOL!
Someone forgot to inform genius Trump that boycotting a business in not illegal... yet. Someone also neglected to mention to them that it is illegal to use federal property the way Donald Trump and Elon Musk did yesterday. Apparently neither one of them knows this... or could care less.

Trumpy bought a Telsa. Can this man even drive? Anything other than a golf cart on grass? After the crypto, trading cards, Bible and sneakers, this man's supporters don't have much spending money left.
Buying weed in the store and eggs on the street. What a change of times.

Musk calls Trump spending bill a ‘disgusting abomination’
Elon Musk blasted the big tax-and-spending-cut bill backed by President Donald Trump.
The Tesla CEO said that Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” is a “disgusting abomination” that will boost the federal deficit.
Musk was the leading financial backer of the Republican president’s 2024 election campaign.

Elon Musk on Tuesday tore into the massive tax-and-spending-cut bill backed by President Donald Trump, calling it a “disgusting abomination” that will explode federal budget deficits.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote in a post on X, his social media site.
“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” the Tesla
and SpaceX CEO added.
“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” wrote Musk, who until last week led the Trump administration’s DOGE effort to cut government spending and waste.
Musk in a follow-up post wrote that the bill “will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.”
The jibes came two days after CBS News aired an interview in which Musk said that the legislative package backed by the Republican president “undermines” DOGE.
The White House quickly shrugged off Musk’s latest criticism.
“Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing Tuesday when asked about the initial post.
“It doesn’t change the President’s opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill, and he’s sticking to it,” Leavitt said.
Leavitt doubled down on the administration’s claim that it is “blatantly wrong” to say that the bill adds to the deficit.
She accused the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which found that the budget package would raise the deficit by $3.8 trillion over the next decade, of being biased against Republicans.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who led the Republican caucus’s effort to pass the spending package through that chamber, told reporters, “With all due respect, my friend Elon is terribly wrong about the one big beautiful bill.”
Johnson, R-La., reiterated his defense of the bill in an X post, while also vowing that Congress would codify some of DOGE’s claimed government-spending cuts as part of a rescissions package.
But Musk, replying to an X post criticizing the GOP caucus, wrote, “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”
But some of Trump’s fellow Republicans agreed with Musk, among them Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.
Massie, a fiscal hawk who was one of only two Republicans to vote against the House version of the bill, wrote, “He’s right,” in a response to Musk’s X post.
Musk replied to Massie: “Simple math.”
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, also backed Musk’s warning of the deficit being blown out.
“Congress has hollowed out America’s middle class through reckless deficit spending and the inflation it causes,” Lee wrote on X.
“The Uniparty propels this vicious cycle, and must be stopped in its tracks.”
Earlier Tuesday, Trump lashed out at Sen. Rand Paul when the Kentucky Republican criticized the bill’s provision to raise the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars.
Trump accused Paul of failing to understand that the bill would spur “tremendous GROWTH.”
Paul wrote on X later Tuesday, “I agree with Elon.”
“We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake. We can and must do better,” the libertarian senator wrote.
Musk replied to Paul’s post with an American-flag emoji.
Musk was the biggest financial backer of Trump’s 2024 campaign, spending more than $250 million on that effort.
But while serving as head of DOGE he expressed opposition to Trump’s tariffs and butted heads with other administration officials, among them White House trade advisor Peter Navarro and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

^ story can't be true. I was told Trump only makes decisions to benefit the oligarchs
-
Elon is right.

He is pissed because he wants the DOGE findings to be law. Congress with need to probably vote on each one separatley but they will still has trouble passing them because none of these crooks want to cut anything.

On the other hand, Indians may save them as they see them as a status symbol.

Another successful boycott by the left it seems. How stupid MAGAtards must be to go around hating on EVs simply because the left was buying them and then have their Orange Diaper to start begging them to purchase the exact same thing they hate simply because the guy was now on "their side".
But at least he tried to do something for Musk. More than he ever did for MyPillow that was driven into bankruptcy for lying on his behalf.

I recently went to a Tesla showroom for the first time. Been encouraged to get one by some based on how fun they are to drive. I'm going to test drive the truck and the SUV, even though the truck is pretty ugly. And I'm not sure the truck will fit in my office parking space. But I'll find out because they let you keep them overnight.
This would be a paradigm shift. Never owned an EV. But I really like the idea of ditching gas stations.

Is your area equipped for you to charge while out and about? Even here in SoCal where they pushed EVs harder than Lurkers husband pushed on their wedding night, there isn't enough charging stations to accommodate everyone. On top of that, the tweakers steal the charging cables to recycle the copper. ;D

Charging your EV at your home is a given. My friends and family with EVs have at least one station. They start at around $600 plus installation which varies depending on whether electrical upgrades are needed such as a 200-amp service panel. You should buy a level II charger for maximum speed charging at home. This requires a 240-volt AC connection. How much it costs to fully charge your EV depends on your electrical rates, usually somewhere between $16 and $20. Depending on the model and some other factors, you should expect to get between 220 to 400 miles on a single charge.

Yeah I was surprised at how inexpensive the charging stations are. I just assumed they required some major installation with a much bigger price tag.

According to the information I found, it costs about half as much to charge and EV than to fill my gas tank which is 11 gallons. My car gets about 27 miles per gallon for city driving and 35 for highway. Over the past nine years, I have averaged diving 324 miles per month. I drive even less miles today than in past years and fill my gas tank every other month. The average price for an EV is around $60K. Kelly Blue Book comparable vehicles sell for around $15K to $17K -- none have as few miles as mine.
My conclusion is that for me buying an EV at this time is not advisable monetarily. It looks like I should wait until it is no longer legal to drive a gas-powered vehicle. It is estimated that in Oregon and other states, sales of new gas engine vehicles will be banned in 2035. However, there is no date set for which used, imported, or already owned vehicles with gas engines will be outlawed.
Of course, other variables could come into play, such as the price of gas, maintenance, and the cost of an EV.

The feds jut stepped in and told CA that they can't ban the sale of new gas cars. Sounds like there will be a long legal battle about the dictatorship of blue states trying to control what we're allowed to drive. ::)

It is estimated that in Oregon and other states, sales of new gas engine vehicles will be banned in 2035. However, there is no date set for which used, imported, or already owned vehicles with gas engines will be outlawed.
Of course, other variables could come into play, such as the price of gas, maintenance, and the cost of an EV.
I doubt bans on gas powered vehicles will happen.
The Tesla truck and Model X are pretty expensive, especially if you get the self driving option. But I want to drive them to see if I like them. I'm not keen spending that kind of coin on a car, but we literally have some of the worst traffic in the country, so the more a car can ease my hatred of driving the better.

I agree that forking out as much as Tesla's and other mid to high end EVs run does not fly with my fiscally conservative nature especially when it comes to buying cars.
A car that drives itself is also not something I am comfortable with. My Mazda has many safety features and alerts, including adaptive cruise control which I use, even though I do not have faith in it preventing rear ending the vehicle in front of me and therefore I often apply the brakes myself which defeats the point of ACC. It would be interesting to find out if auto insurance costs will be affected by autonomous vehicles (AVs). My current auto insurance premiums are just under $550 every six months with State Farm drive safe and save plan.

So you're just spouting nonsense.
Says the person who can't read a simple sentence. Maybe try reading it with your finger under each word and sounding it out will help.

Put one of these near your car...Get a charger that you can always leave plugged in so you don't wear the outlet out.
Alternately...If you have an electric dryer in your garage, get a smart splitter that you plug into the dryer outlet. It detects when you are drying clothes and switches off the car charger. When the laundry is finished, it turns the car charger back on.

I wouldn't be doing any of this off road stuff. I drive like an old man. At least according to my wife. :)

I can't explain it to you any better. Your stupidity is not my responsibility.
