I don't make all of my purchasing decisions with an entirely clear conscience.  But several years ago after my best friend was one of the few people I knew who owned a Tesla, I entertained the idea of eventually getting one, because I like to get behind decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels, he rarely had any maintenance issues, and it seemed like a pretty cool car.  

Now?  No fucking way I buy a Tesla.  But I'm skeptical that there are enough people like me who will make an appreciable dent in Tesla sales.  I still see them all over the place.

Many more viable options now than 5-10 years ago.  I don’t expect every Tesla owner to have the ability to make a change, but I do expect EV shoppers to look elsewhere and find something that fits their needs.

True.  But seems like the other EV options are significantly more than the Tesla 3, which is cheaper than a lot of other standard gas-guzzling sedans.  Thankfully I'm not in the market for another couple years.

Whether it's "enough" is up for debate.  But you are hardly alone.  European EV sales surge and Tesla's cut almost in half.  Sweet!

They are irrelevant.  Mr market ultimately will fix it.  But meanwhile…

I dove into the logic behind Musk and DOGE's quite lame AI projects, and chatted with the computer scientist and anthropologist @ali-alkhatib.com and the tech historian @histoftech.bsky.social to understand why they're pushing so much AI. 

And it goes beyond "they're lazy"—though that's part of it.

They don't want to be held accountable, so they have the AI make decisions and wash their hands of it.

Hey, it's how the mob works. They've just automated it for greater corruption efficiency.

Again, why is there no shareholder  suit against Elmo for destroying the brand and tanking sales? Dammit plaintiff bar!!

Because there’s not a huge stock price hit yet so the shareholders haven’t been injured by it?
