Teflon Bust

I’m new to Bluesky, but on X since 2019 and Threads more recently, and just realizing how many people I used to follow elsewhere are on Bluesky. Thanks for any follows!

Alas, he's still above the law. Why do California bureaucrats have such a soft spot in their brain for Elon Musk?

@lorak.bsky.social Did the DMV mention any other repercussions for the false advertising? Refunds etc.? www.cnbc.com/2025/12/16/c...

Scumbag Adam Jonas had Dojo at $500 Billion in hisTesla sum-of-the-parts valuation. I suppose he’s going to slash his target by $150 per share now, right?

So true. $tsla $tslaq

Can we call it Tesla Car Service (TCS) instead of a “Robotaxi Launch”? $tsla $tslaq

Can we call it Tesla Car Service (TCS) instead of a “Robotaxi Launch”? $tsla $tslaq

This is so on brand for Tesla. Not to mention it floods the news with shallow Robotaxi headline stories over more detailed and researched lawsuit stories. $tsla $tslaq

Good morning, we are once again on the record here in Oakland for day four of the the hearing to resolve the California DMV's complaint against Tesla for misleading marketing of its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability options. DMV is back cross-examining Tesla project manager Chris Griffith.

This is such a horrifying argument: just because people use a wide variety of blatantly contradictory terms to describe systems that they clearly do not understand with sufficient sophistication doesn't mean it's OK for Tesla to deepen this particular problem for profit (while endangering roads)!

Tesla robotaxi incidents, caught on camera in Austin, draw regulators' attention - @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/06/23/t... Full statement from the federal vehicle safety regulator, NHTSA, below...

@lorak.bsky.social Have you seen reports of Tesla Safety Monitors having their fingers on a door handle button, like could be an emergency brake button? Thought it might be interesting to you: x.com/teflonbust/s...

Completely agree with my favorite former GS co-worker on this. $tsla $tslaq

Is Trump looking for detente or a cold, calculated strangulation of Elon’s businesses? $tsla $tslaq youtube.com/shorts/ogbKG...

Elon Musk advocates fraud, because he’s a fraudster $tsla $tslaq

Hey Austin, this is why we need you out in the streets documenting Tesla's dangerous and irresponsible self-driving experiment! If you see Teslas with manufacturers plates, take photo and video (or descriptions of behavior you see) and post them with the hashtag #fauxbotaxi. Public info is key!

A sign things are totally perfect and awesome is when you want to hide stuff. www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Is it strange that Tesla and the City of Austin and haven’t made a single statement about Tesla’s Robotaxi service launching next week? Ribbon cutting ceremony? A Parade? Where, when? Safety measures? Permit approval? Is a service actually launching? $tsla $tslaq

Just imagine all the ways Trump can subtly suffocate Elon’s businesses. Money losing without govt. subsidies, this won’t be very hard. No lashing out needed. $tsla $tslaq

Elon would have to have something pretty big (and not implicate himself) to think he wins against Trump. Trump has a couple dozen arrows in his quiver he could use. $tsla $tslaq #spaceX

Has Elon been fired from every job he’s had where he’s not in control? $tsla $tslaq

Sounds like the Govt. needs SpaceX, not necessarily Elon. @ericlipton.nytimes.com

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

SKATEBOARDING (on a Tesla under carefully controlled commercial circumstances) IS NOT A CRIME

New, from me: The DOGE project was sold as tech disruptors who would revolutionize government. To try to understand why DOGE has failed, I point to lessons that other technologists who worked in government learned, but DOGE ignored. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-doge-...

A Chinese armada is heading to the US to take advantage of the limited time offer of only 30% tariffs.* *Note: Limited time offer, subject to change, up to 54% (or maybe 80%).

I am looking forward to copious screenshots of Chinese ships heading to US ports tho. #sarcasm

Never seen the market so happy about tax increases 😂 So much winning.

Excellent NYT graphic. In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China: -- doubled; -- went up ≈ 2.5X from there; -- roughly doubled again; -- went up ≈ 40% from there; -- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February. www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

Why would any law enforcement choose an EV, let alone Tesla? “Tesla Model 3s purchased by his department cost almost $150,000 each one they were upfitted. Tesla doesn’t offer its vehicles ready for law enforcement, and there’s only one aftermarket company which will do the work….$$$ $tsla $tslaq

If the United States saw what the United States was doing to the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the United States.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

“They’re not really using AI, they’re not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything,” the former official said. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Hilarious if true. Tesla $tsla $tslaq

I hate to say it, but it would be funny, after Trump backs down on tariffs, if China decided to leave it’s tariffs up to call the orange man’s bluff and embarrass him and the idiots who voted for him. $tsla $aapl #tariffwar

😂 $tsla $tslaq

Funny that ever is talking about the tariff “exemptions”. While biz phone tariffs have essentially gone from <3% to 20% since Trump was inaugurated. It may be tough for them if consumers continue to pull back on spending, as they already struggle with growth. $aapl
