Always remember Elon Musk’s lies from April 2019.

1. All FSD Teslas are appreciating assets! NPV ~$200k(!).

2. FSD 🚗 can make their owners ~$30k per year (robotaxi rentals to others)

3. Millions of Tesla robotaxis on the road by 2020 “FOR SURE”.

Lies, damn lies and Tesla $TSLA presentations

Also, wasn’t crypto supposed to be a safe haven?

Look at the dumps over the past 24 hours ( except for the two stablecoins, obviously. Btw, I still think that Tether is fraudulent. But that’s a story for another day... #usdt #timestamp #cryptobubble ).

Trump threatens 'massive' tariff hike on China over rare earths dispute

Stock markets dropped on Trump's bellicose Truth Social post that said China is "becoming very hostile" in seeking tough export controls on rare earths.

Gemini…

- mixes up stablecoin issuer Figure (that company just did an IPO) with Figure AI (the humanoid robot company).
Not the same company

- only mentions their old Figure 02 robot, no word about Figure 03.

Screenshot:

Tales From The Future @talesftf.bsky.social · 1d

AI still has a long way to go.

Example below… (which is ironic, because humanoids need VERY advanced AI).

I was wondering (since Figure AI just released its new Figure 03 humanoid robot) if there’s news on a @Figure_robot (X) IPO.

Gemini’s / Google’s answer is embarrassingly wrong!

Exactly, Tesla is (according to the current stock bubble craze) worth more than the rest of the car industry combined….

Insane valuation, a house of cards:

And the new Nissan LEAF from a few weeks ago - this is a completely redesigned EV for 2026+, at under $30k starting prices.

Again: Tesla offers nothing in this price segment, anywhere in the World.

Tesla’s EV portfolio is completely outdated, relies on a single EV (Y).

I’m old enough to remember whenTesla promised a $25k mass-market EV model.

Both $GM and Nissan now offer sub-$30k EVs again:

New 2027 Bolt EV
New 2026 Nissan LEAF

(Plus dozens of EVs models in Europe and Asia at these price brackets. The two cars above are just examples for North America. $TSLAQ

The Meme ETF is back. Is it late to the party again?

In its first go around, the ETF's launch coincided with the Nasdaq Composite's peak.

“Former Trump spiritual adviser and Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl…”

I’m unfortunately not surprised. Drain the swamp? LOL.

Also, and without knowing the case details:

Why does this creep only have to serve 6 months for this crime?!

MisterJayEm @misterjayem.bsky.social · 9d

Robert Morris "served as a faith adviser to President Donald Trump."

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor, pleads guilty to sexually abusing a child

Under a plea agreement, Morris was given a 10-year sentence, but he will serve only six months in an Oklahoma jail.

“This vehicle was nicknamed the “Model 2,” and would have offered the most affordable entry point into the EV market, at least in the West….”

Hmm, no.

Various European carmakers already offer $25k EVs today, even more will in the near future (2026+), for example VW with the ID Polo (former ID2).
