Elon Musk is betting Tesla’s future on using self-driving fantasies to boost the share price instead of building a real car business. He just gutted the teams working on the Supercharger network (right as other companies are adopting it!) and new vehicles.

One out of every 200 people in Gaza have been killed by the Israeli army — and the bombing still hasn’t stopped.
Let that sink in for a moment, then remember how Israeli authorities are trying to make Western publics believe they aren’t targeting civilians. This is a massacre.

I don’t know how you sleep at night feeling so comfortable dehumanizing people. Human rights groups, the UN, and even the US State Department have long trusted Gaza Ministry of Health numbers. The doubt being sowed by Israel and the US is just to get people to accept mass death.
Despite Biden's doubts, humanitarian agencies consider Gaza toll reliable | Reuters
U.S. President Joe Biden has cast doubt on casualty figures provided by Palestinian officials in Gaza, but international humanitarian agencies consider them broadly accurate and historically reliable.
