Musk is pumping Tesla's stock via the options market to high heaven so that investors vote for everything in favor of Tesla at the Nov. 6th shareholders meeting.

But Musk doesn't care about his $1 trillion pay package. He just wants a vote to bail out xAI.

Why Tesla is Being Pumped: xAI Needs a Bailout Like SolarCity Did

Musk is desperate to keep his AI startup alive, which is why the vote to allow Tesla to invest in xAI is urgent and more important than his $1 trillion pay package.

Tesla is up 31% vs the 17% spike in the Nasdaq 100 index since Musk started his "Trillion-dollar-bonus" stock pump on Sep-5th.

Wait till shareholders give it to him on Nov-6th & the stock stops being pumped ("sell the news").

How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

AI is a runaway train and I’d like to get off at the nearest station.

I’ll jump off and roll down a hill like they do in the movies if I have to.

Good luck with the course. I gained my Masters from CAT/UEL in 2019 in Sustainability&Adaptation. The subject should be mandatory in schools. Spread the word

If the media covered Palantir/BlackRock's public sector takeover and the rollout of deregulated investment zones with the same intensity as Nigel Farage and immigration, we'd see actual outrage at the seismic corporate power grab secretly remaking Britain. The UK is being privatised.

The Tories are the toxic mess that Reform grew from. And they still are. Their angry uselessness just feeds the monster they created. And they don’t have the wit or the integrity to realise the harm they do to the country by being so cluelessly shit.

Don’t despair, Tories: look upon Reform and see your rightful and fitting legacy | Nesrine Malik

If Kemi Badenoch wonders why her party conference looks and feels like a sideshow, perhaps she should reflect on the Conservatives’ 14 years in power, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

We were told we weren’t old enough to get the Covid jab - 75s & over only. Is this the govt way to claw back some of the winter fuel allowance? £94 for the jab for those spring chickens who decide to protect their health under 75?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Republicans supporting Trump is at best 25% of the entire country. It’s why they need autocratic governance to remain in power.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.
