“In Loud We Trust” Stellantis is desperate because they over indexed on Covid free money, bled Jeep sales, and lowered quality. The Hurricane was the one smart thing they did in the last 6 years. The V8 you hear is the sound of a C-Suite serving a simple excuse for systematic failure.

It’s telling that Elon-ald can’t understand mission driven motivation. It puts the lie to Tesla’s mission statement. Maybe the engineers at Tesla are mission driven, but their CEO is coin operated. I hope they find great jobs at Rivian and Lucid. #teslatakedown youtu.be/QFLrDaV6nkE

All of these comments should just start with, “Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Republican Party….” If there are sane Republicans left - and I think there are - they need to choose between brand damage, saying, “but not me,” and silence. Make them choose.

We’re in a race to avoid renewed relevancy of “Born in the USA:” remove oligarchs before their president destroys our care for each other. Can we avoid the hiring man saying, “son, if it were up to me.” Can we avoid the V.A. man saying, “don’t you understand?” Can we avoid a rifle in the hands?

It’s a loss of moral ambiguity that would have been welcome in our social media age of hero/villain dichotomy. By keeping her secrets, he is neither hero nor villain, but father.

Out of Spec reviews looked at the new Model Y and said, “[in the US market] it just needs to not offend.” 💯 The engineers did their job - the product itself is good. So if the product doesn’t offend. So what could it be?… 🤔 I won’t say that Elon’s the damage is permanent, but it is gangrenous.

When investors say, “He needs to get back to work at Tesla,” they want good stock, not good cars. His job is to hype the company, promise the future (again), and stand for Sandy Munro’s lavish praise. People’s identity is tied up in Tesla investing and they want another hit of the good stuff, baby!

Great moments in solving the wrong problem. When Elon spends more time at Tesla, you get more stainless steel crap 💩 and fewer BYD fighters 🤺. He’s chased away talent and his over promising is a stale joke. Anyone who thought extremist actions would be consequence-free lacks the judgment to lead.

Some investors and analysts have recently called on Mr. Musk to spend more time managing Tesla and limit or end his work for the Trump administration.

RD says power comes from rules and tradition. Weird. Jesus was challenged by rule keeping pharisees to name the greatest commandment. He didn’t list the equivalent of Latin Mass or birth control, he said “love.” I would recommend all of Matthew 22 as a balm. Love and sacrifice matter.

Sorry. It sucks. I’m old enough to remember when there were more than five companies. It was a jungle, but it meant there were tons of niches. Little shops - including a little company called Google taking on Alta Vista - allowed a rich set of opportunities. We could have that again. Empower Labor.

Saw the new Model Y today. In a vacuum, the Y looks fine. In context, it looks like a metrosexual Cybertuck. In context, the brand is toxic and the cybertruck is the symbol of toxicity. I’m confident that the design team worked hard on it, but context is king. In this case, a mad king.
