Tesla’s China Sales Plummeted in April. Here’s Why It Doesn’t Matter.
Registrations of Tesla vehicles in China for the month of April fell more than 60% compared with March, according to Reuters. Tesla stock, however, isn’t budging.

That is a crime. It is also the exact propaganda people like you and Elon Musk push that gets people killed.
That's fine. That's dandy. Fun fact: Tesla didn't make a single Model S last year because there is absolutely ZERO demand for them.Tesla Model S Plaid sets new record for fastest 1/4 mile time of any production car
Tesla has set a new official record for the fastest quarter-mile time of any production car in their new Model S Plaid.
The time was set on May 11, 2021 at the Autoclub Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, about four hours south of Tesla’s Fremont factory in California. According to a source who was at the event, the Midnight Silver Model S Plaid set an official time of 9.23 seconds with a trap speed of 152.16mph (244.88km/h).
That handily beats the previous record of 9.4 seconds held by the Bugatti Chiron Sport. At a base price of $3,260,000 USD ($3,946,000 CAD), the supercar is considerably more expensive than the Model S Plaid

Ironic that a therad about a sci-fi dystopia would devolve into a discussion about Elon Musk. Or is it?

He wants to go to Mars, sell electrically powered self driving suicide machines, both solve and create an energy crises with solar roofs and power walls, while draining the planet's energy supply mining cryptocurrency. Fill the sky with tens of thousands of internet satellites, along with a half dozen other competitors, to the point where ground based astronomy will be difficult to say the least. When your kid sees the stars blinking at night like navigation lights, you can explain why...

But there will be unlimited internet ...... woohoo! “That kids is how you get to stream Netflix and play games at the same time out in the middle of butt fuck nowhere”. Thank you Mr. Musk!!!!

The guy has shown so many self-serving moral lapses that it is inevitable that he will eventually become a real life Bond super villain.
Wait for it.

While the stars blink like strobe lights out in places where ya can really see them!
You should be pointing yer phased array pizza box at the sky soon, at the rate Elon is launching shit into space. In a few years you will have a choice of several systems, perhaps even a Chinese one too since I'm pretty sure they will be offering the service globally too, but from behind the great firewall.

A confession: Sometimes I like to reimagine all the Patrick Swayze films if Nicholas Cage took his place.

Honestly and truthfully I think what is happening (1000’s of LO satellites) is shitty but I’m stuck with Bell and I’d sell my first born to tell Bell to suck my dick

Especially that. And the pottery scene from ghost.Dirty Dancing even
It works both ways. Picture "Raising Arizona" with Patrick Swayze.

Thank God Nic Cage will be playing Joe Exotic (The Tiger King) in a soon to be released miniseries.

I hear ya, but the proliferation of all those low earth orbit satellites might have very bad consequences if they start crashing into each other along with the other space junk we have buzzing around up there. The biggest issue I have is it's gonna kick off a tech war for global internet service and without regulation. There will be a half dozen or more companies, each with constellations of satellites numbering in the tens of thousands, all occupying the same orbital space that is dictated by the physics of global coverage.Honestly and truthfully I think what is happening (1000’s of LO satellites) is shitty but I’m stuck with Bell and I’d sell my first born to tell Bell to suck my dick

The Prophecy is true:
The 1953 book "Mars Project" by famous rocket scientist Werner Von Braun says the leader of Mars shall be called "Elon".
Well that’s unnerving.
