When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

tesla owners admitting without shame they don’t know how to drive anymore

@CARNØN
X.com
The other night I was driving in pouring rain, fully dark, and the car randomly lost GPS.
No location. No navigation.
Which also meant no FSD.
I tried two software resets while driving just to get GPS back. Nothing worked. So there I was, manually driving in terrible conditions, unsure of positioning, no assistance, no guidance.
And it genuinely felt unsafe. For me and for the people in the car.
Then it hit me.
This feeling - the stress, the uncertainty, the margin for error - this is how most drivers feel every single day.
No FSD. No constant awareness. No backup.
We've normalised danger so much that we only notice it when the safety net disappears.

So true. I couldn't imagine trying to figure things out myself anymore
I feel it every time I have to take over to take a separate entrance or find an area different from the exact pin at a destination. 12.6.4 does 98% of my driving but that last 2% is tough
I couldn't imagine also being without GPS

Two words: Wall Street. His donors want what Trump is doing. He will sell us all down the river to maintain the lifestyle and power to which he is accustomed, and that's all predicated on being able to swing the Wall Street purse with the DSCC. He's a collaborator, in effect if not willfully.

The consequences that befall Musk now that he's attacked Trump publicly will be a measure of how well the US fits the competitive authoritarian model. The more severe, the better the fit. I despise Musk, but for the sake of US democracy, I hope his punishment doesn't violate the rule of law.

Experts say the effort, which is not expected to succeed, reflects anger over Musk’s alliance with Trump, who has threatened Canada with tariffs and annexation.
