Posted in: Musk visits Israel to meet top leaders as accusations of antisemitism on X grow See in context
Musk is in damage control the whole trip is a PR stunt.
his recent antisemitic statements on Twitter has caused a mass excoduse of advertisers, hes losing billions.
Yes Musk can say whatever he wants, and those advertisers can spend their money wherever they choose.
For a guy that publicly stated that he doesnt care if he loses money over his comments he sure is complaining a lot that people arent spending money on X

Make sure you have a gas powered generator to recharge your "eco" vehicle.
why you can charge it at home at night off peak rates
And make sure to have a really good fire extinguisher.... in case the car spontaneously combusts!
and the stats clearly show that EV have less fires per capita compared to the equivalent ICE cars, worse offenders are actually hybrids

My strong preference would be for a hydrogen or hydrogen-ammonia fueled internal combustion engine over battery electric.
and Toyota will love you for it as they can still bone you all the services cost asscoicated with an ICE .
EV have a fraction the cost of maintenance compared to ICE, no oil changes, transmission fluids.
basically only brake pads and tires, even brake pads are rarely needed in EV as the regen braking almost eliminated your need to use the brake pedal

Posted in: Trump’s civil fraud trial will go on after lawyers seek early verdict ending case See in context
the verdict was already announced before the trial.
thats because its a civil trial, Trumps lawyers chose a bench trial over a jury, ,meaning the judge rules on the case. Im assuming Trump thought he couldnt get an impartial jury in NY. The trial phase decides how much damages will be. It amazing just how judicially illiterate maga can be when it come to Trump.

Or is it possible the verdict will change as a result of the trial??
for all those that arent paying attention, his is a civil case, Trump lawyers chose a bench trial over a jury trial , meaning the judge decides. the trial will decide how much of a penalty Trump org has to pay and whether they keep their business license's in NY. Even when Trump appeals to the New York Court of Appeals, highest court in NY it unlikely theyll reverse Judge Engeron decision, the evidence as he stated is overwhelming.

We shall see and there’s always the SC.
SC has no jurisdiction over state cases, only federal
As will his election lead. your unintended consequence of these nonsense trials.
this weeks elections already show how toxic Trump is , more than half of the people Trump backed lost their elections , even right wing media are blaming trump.
when republicans take back the senate next year (Manchin is out) I would like to see some backing reform to keep the government out of private transactions like this.
your assuming republican keep the house, more republicans seats up for grabs than democrats, this is why the house flips with each midterm. 2018 it was reversed

Never been a better time than right now to invest on Japanese manufacturing again.
exactly manufacturing jobs in Japan have become cheaper compared to other countries due to the yens fall, cheaper goods means more exports. Japan was built on exports, not cheap imports . Japan was doing just fine when the yen way 250yen/$. you see it now Japanese are buying more Japanese made goods as they become cheaper while foreign goods rise in price.

When the national debt increased 200 % fold..
not even remotely true, national debt increased 7.8 trillion in 4yrs under Trump almost a 1/3 of all US debt.
where were the right whingers when that happened.
here some facts for you
Trump average GDP for 3yrs prior covid 2.5% . after covid 1% over 4yrs
So basically Biden is doing better than Trump. 4.9% Trump didnt even get close to that.
markets are still 15% higher under Biden.
No Trump didnt have the best economy in the history of the US, not even close

Trump shouldn’t try because the crazy left are scared that he could succeed. Let Trump exercise his constitutional rights and if it does get struck down then it does, but at least he should try.
its just a delay tactic, every judge so far has seen Trump try and delay his trials and hes failed at every try. All trials will be over long before the election. The best part is NY and Georgia trials stand regardless who is president in 2024. Presidents cant pardon state crimes, meaning Trump will lose his NY business license's and still have to pay the huge fines associated with the final rulings. Trump is toast in NY.
Trump ran away from NY trial yesterday as one of his close associated in the Trump org has just thrown him under the bus today in court. Trumps scared LOL
