    The 22 cases include Chicago resident Julio Noriega, 54, a U.S. citizen who, according to court documents, was arrested, handcuffed and spent most of the night at an ICE processing center in suburban Broadview. He was never questioned about his citizenship and was only released after agents looked at his ID.

    “I was born in Chicago, Illinois, and am a United States citizen,” Noriega said in his statement, adding that on Jan. 31, after buying pizza in Berwyn he was surrounded by ICE agents and arrested. Officers took away his wallet, which had his ID and Social Security card. “They then handcuffed me and pushed me into a white van where other people were handcuffed as well.”
    In another case of ICE is an organization lead by both evil and incompetent people. Arresting a US citizen, holding them the entire night and only after all that just then bothering to check if they are a US citizen. This is literally racial profiling lol.

    Elon Musk begs his remaining shareholders to stop selling Tesla stock after it drops 50% in two months.

    Actual words he spoke in public:

    I understand if you don’t want to buy our product, but you don’t have to burn it down. That’s a bit unreasonable.
    He then closed the Department of Education, canceled Social Security checks, and tried to give Ukraine to Putin.

    It starts as racial profiling and makes it way to political profiling fast. Citizens are not safe no matter what as long as republicans refuse to resist this shit. Ya know what? republicans cheer this on just check cuckservative reddit atm.

And then he'd make a ton of money when the stock recovers, and be able to slowly sell them back out at peak prices again. Even if it was only going to recover to 80% of its value before the crash, that's still a huge return.

    And he's not doing that.

    Because he assumes it won't recover.

    The CEO doesn't believe in his own company. That's the headline here.

    Who needs to own Tesla when you own the USA?

    You can actually check the insider activity of Tesla

    https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activi...sider-activity

    0 people are buying. These are the people that have personal stakes on Tesla and have knowledge of whats happening

    Dunno if Tesla is finished but its not a good look for the company. It makes sense too. Tesla is not as valuable as Toyota. That was all hype and people were willing to let it slide cuz they liked Musk and what he did with the company. Now Tesla hasnt done anything interesting since 2019 when they released the model 3, and Musk is destroying the government in a ketamine fueled rampage

    I think even if Musk was not involved, Tesla would still crash. Maybe not as fast but still. Grossly overvalued as a stock and at this point a poor product.

    The only thing more fun than watching Tesla nosedive is watching Fox News and Right Wing media trying to save it.

    Not only that, but the people who tend to buy Teslas are the people Musk, Trump, and MAGA are currently dumping on. If you're liberal and environmentally conscious, why the heck would you support Musk right now? He has completely moved to the other side of the political spectrum.

    ,Even Fox News and Right Wingers have become cynics on this. They arent defending the company as a car manufacturing company or even as a tech company, they are defending the stock price. When I saw Lutnick ,the secretary of commerce btw, defend Tesla the only thing he was saying was how cheap the stock was and what a great opportunity it would be to buy the stock. He didnt even bother to mention anything cool Tesla did to hype it up, it was all about the stock price. Which like fair enough lol, but it comes off as cynical.

    It's not fair enough but it's still overvaluled as hell

    That sub is such a mindfuck to look at. They have zero topics about the social security threats on the front page it's actually mindboggling.

    I think if Musk was not involved, it wouldn't have been this inflated in the first place. People really bought into that Tony Stark horseshit.

    In fairness to Tesla, people didnt care that much bc Tesla was doing genuinely cool stuff and breaking new ground for a decent while. After Tesla gave up on scaling up and decided to focus on the cybertruck and self driving it kind of died off and people are only realizing now that Elon is crashing out (and taking us with him no survivors)

    These transactions, totaling over $100 million, come amid a decline in Tesla's stock price and growing reports of protests against the car company.

    It appears that Tesla is switching its focus from EV to robotaxi.

    Tesla was granted a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to run a transportation service in the state. This is the first step in Tesla’s quest to offer driverless taxi rides in California, but there is still a long way to go until that happens.

    As noted by TechCrunch, the American EV maker’s permit allows it to operate what is basically a shuttle service for employees with drivers behind the steering wheel. Tesla applied for the transport charter permit (TCP) in November 2024. According to the commission, this type of permit allows companies to offer prearranged transportation services like roundtrip sightseeing.


    No different than those tech companies' employee bus service in the Bay Area. Still, it is a steppingstone for their robotaxi ambition.

    At Autonomous level 2, Tesla autonomous driving AI has a long way to go. The company is also starting from zero. Waymo service has now expanded to include San Francisco International Airport, Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Altos and Sunnyvale. Supposedly Waymo driving AI is close to Autonomous level 5.

    SpaceX value in private market has skyrocketed. No pun intended. SpaceX has sole contract for deployment of DoD spy satellites and Starlink has the contract for development of DoD spy satellite system. His meeting with Hegseth on Friday was definitely a serious conflict of interest breach.

    Now all he has to do is get a government contract for his Boring Company which is currently floundering.

    Oh, he can get all the contracts he wants, the problem will remain that he is really bad at delivering. So the DoD siding with Musk means bad news for security and lots of government money for Musk.

    There's also Twitter which has the clearing to be a payment platform, I am sure he will steal I mean rob I mean process transactions for the treasury for a "small fee". Let's face it Elon knew Tesla was going to die a long time ago you can only keep the grift going for so long, the only way for him to become a trillionaire is to rob the rest of us blind so he bought himself the presidency.

    The thing is, Trump clearly only has preference to those who have more money/power than him. If Musk loses everything do you think Trump will keep him around and associate with the world's richest man turned worlds biggest business failure?

    Tesla is only part of his fortune, he still has SpaceX, his brother and his dad are billionaires even if Tesla goes bankrupt he will still be richer and have more money than Trump. Besides his net worth is what we know, he would be a fool if he wasn't using dark pools to trade on Trump's market announcements (stock market, crypto etc) netting him billions. It's free reign on corruption Musk and his family are probably making money hand over fist on this, he would be an idiot to not make the money off so much insider information.
