The same judges hearing #Trump’s #AliensEnemiesAct appeal are hearing Musk’s appeal: Henderson, Millett, & Walker
The #Trump admin is appealing a judge’s order requiring #ElonMusk & #DOGE to comply w/evidence demands from Democratic state ofcls who claim the #billionaire is exercising #unconstitutional #power across the US govt.
The #DOJ is arguing the lower court judge’s “unusual & highly invasive” order “raises grievous separation-of-powers concerns” by requiring a presidential adviser & the WH to turn over info about their activities….

Vivian Jenna Wilson on Being #ElonMusk’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting #TransYouth & Taking on the Right Online
TV: Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.
VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power.… I don't give a f**k. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here.… He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.

So anyways, looks like Tesla has a Q1 quarterly report due out on April 22nd I suspect this will be the first time key investors really come to terms with Elon Musk's Trump antics.
Major investors are already sounding the alarm. I've been around the startup scene long enough to know the VCs are absolutely looking to can Musk soon. Musk is not gonna be an easy CEO to fire so they'll wait till the very last minute I bet.
Five years ago yesterday, the "genius" #ElonMusk made this prediction.
More than 1.1 million Americans have died of #COVID19 since the end of April, when Musk said we'd have zero cases. Based on wastewater analysis, we've likely had more than 40 million new infections in the US since the start of 2025.
This is the guy who's going to make smart decisions about government spending that keep Americans safe and healthy?
@ZhiZhu@newsie.socialElon Musk’s X raises $1bn in new equity fundraising round
#SocialMedia group is valued at $44bn, matching the price the billionaire paid in 2022
https://www.ft.com/content/d61eed58-65ef-4fea-978a-b0915fc740f4
"The fundraising, which values X at $44bn incl #debt, comes as #Musk has forged close ties to #DonaldTrump...
Shares in #Tesla, the electric automaker co-founded by Musk, have tumbled recently as some consumers have shunned the brand, but parts of his private empire have been boosted."
The panel thats giving the most trouble is a 8ft long piece of trim that runs along the top edge of the vehicle. Its ONLY attached with glue.
Viral videos for the past yr have been coming out with a massive rash of them throughout the winter months.
Multiple reports indicate this has happened to folks during rush hour, launching a heavy metal plate into traffic.
LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway was fake news.
Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 
.
Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

@ZhiZhu@newsie.socialTesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing
https://electrek.co/2025/03/19/tesla-tsla-accounting-raises-red-flags-as-report-shows-1-4-billion-missing/
"Many #Tesla shorts and detractors have questioned Tesla’s #accounting for years...
Today, the #FinancialTimes has released a new report pointing to a $1.4 billion gap in assets...
The report also points to other red flags...
but with #Trump and #Musk kneecapping the #SEC, repercussions are unlikely."
And now you know why he wants all those juicy government contracts ..

Senator Lisa Murkowski has some harsh words for her party.

A court ruling rips the billionaire head of DOGE for his unauthorized actions, but can only go so far to rescue a doomed agency.

"yesterday’s ruling from #Judge Theodore Chuang of the federal district of #Maryland was the first time any judge has directly addressed the illegality of Musk’s appointment as head of #DOGE and then ordered his actions unwound."
@ZhiZhu@newsie.socialThe Tesla Backlash Is Biblical
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9kmK0St9Jg
“In the past 3 months something of a car crash happened. #Tesla stock almost inexplicably dropped 50% since December 12th. Fifty percent in 3 months! Below where it was before the #election. Now this number is hard to wrap your head around, but Tesla's #market cap loss its valuation lost in this short period is equivalent to $800 billion."
