No, I think you are right!! People are so so SO stupid nowadays, the Israeli flag wasn't enough of a clue! What could it mean?! So all the stupid people needed to see that racist caricature of the hook nose going halfway down his face. Good call!

Oh right, because Trump ran the most amazing campaign ever!

I'm sorry, but is "tipping out" no longer a thing, where the servers are expected to give a percentage of the tips to the hosts, bussers, food runners, kitchen staff, and anyone else who supported them that night?

How do you explain Biden winning over Trump just 4 years earlier, genius? How does that fit your data points, smart guy?

Is that your takeaway, genius? Was that how Biden won over Trump FOUR SHORT YEARS AGO, by appealing to the democratic base?

Funny, I don't remember the base being pleased with Biden's record AT ALL. But.. he was a white male, wasn't he, hm?

Just wait for the quid pro quo. SpaceX was supposed to get us back to the moon on 3 billion dollars. They are now at 5 billion dollars, and all they have to show for it is a flaming husk of a booster caught by "the chopsticks".

For anyone who thinks that was some incredible accomplishment.. NASA has been landing rovers on Mars using truly incredible engineering that makes SpaceX look like a bunch of kids eating Baby Ruth bars in the sandbox.

So if Elon gets appointed to a government position and starts awarding Tesla and SpaceX all kinds of extended taxpayer-funded gravy grift, you will know your pet theory is 100% spot on.

Oh, didn't you know? The police are under NO requirement to protect at the individual level.

The Supreme Court of the United States explained that it is a “fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.”

Your nuanced understanding of geopolitics reminds me just how successful they've been at undermining the education system.

You're so right!! Remember in the early 80's when they deregulated the Savings and Loan Banks, expanding their authority to make loans and reducing regulatory oversight? What a great idea, that was. Getting rid of those unnecessary regulations really stimulated greedy white collar and political criminals, they stole everything they could until the whole system crashed, and that deregulation ended up costing taxpayers a 160 to 175 billion bailout in today's dollars.

What a deal, right? What a boon to the economy, what a next level brain you're working with. You know, every time we hear someone cry about the need to deregulate, it's either a pirateer looking to steal more money from the taxpayers, or a useful idiot who drank their kool-aid.

Oh seriously, f right off. Nobody wants Tesla drivers to die, they just want Musk accountable for killing the ones that died because they believed his constant lies in the videos he released and speeches he gave that "Autopilot" / "Full Self Driving" and "ROBOTAXIS ARE COMING" meant that the cars actually can drive themselves.

Tesla only succeeded due to the hard work and innovation of its two ACTUAL founders. Ever since Elon did his cuckoo bird routine and pushed them out of the nest, Tesla has fallen behind all other car manufacturers, and have only managed to stay afloat trading carbon credits for government cash. Instead of releasing a low to mid-priced model to compete, he squeezed out the cyberturd. And SpaceX is going to ruin any chance of humans getting off this planet with Starlink. In 6 months, Starlink satellites had to make 25,000 collision-avoidance maneuvers, and they are on an exponential curve. It's not if, but when they screw up and start the beginning of the Kessler syndrome.

And Starship is the biggest government grift of them all. That PoS will never make it to the moon, much less Mars. It's going to end up just like the Hyperloop.

Elon is a con-artist whose only talent is constant market manipulation, insider trading, and fooling the gullible.

The problem is with a shitty latch: the hood appears closed, but it's not.

The OTA Update doesn't fix the shitty mechanical latch - it still doesn't latch consistently. What it fixes is another poor design choice: evidently, the car has sensors that can tell if the hood was closed correctly or not, but this was never turned on/programmed? The OTA Updates this so now the car can warn you when the shitty latch fails.

Or who knows, maybe they initially turned off that sensor because it was going off all the time because of the latch...
