Elon is definitely going to spin out legacy auto into its own fractional co like Johnson & Johnson after talcum powder rulings. “Oh sorry, Tesla Motors only has $14,690,000 on the books”

Hacker who breaks (into) something is called "cracker". Or "black hat hacker" (as opposed to white hat hacker)

I don't read them unless something gets linked or maybe shows up in my phone's Google News, so I don't have a good handle on what they publish, but FWIW I've seen it asserted that they used to be Tesla boosters to an embarrassing degree but later turned against the company.

Yes, that's true. They became more critical after they sold their TSLA holdings (about the time they removed the disclosure from their site), but they still draw the line at harshly criticizing Tesla. In the EV community, even now, criticizing Tesla will immediately result in a shadow ban of sorts.

I met a guy a couple days after Tesla canned autopilot. He has 3 Teslas and admitted that he was using autopilot when the car ran through a red light, causing a 3 car accident. He replaced his totaled Tesla with another Tesla. I was protesting at Tesla and wanted to know why. Clueless
