For those people stupid enough to believe every year since 2018 that FSD was "coming next year", now Space Karen has a new pledge.

I'm going to guess this is the prelude to taxpayer handing him the keys to Fort Knox

SpaceX founder Elon Musk has said his Starship rocket will head to Mars by the end of next year, as the company investigates several recent explosions in flight tests.

Human landings could begin as early as 2029 if initial missions go well, though "2031 was more likely", he added in a post on his social media platform X.

So the rocket that has repeatedly blown up, & failed to get a banana into LEO, is going to successfully launch, 100T of fuel into orbit, AT LEAST 21 TIMES !!, between now and the end of 2026.

If you believe that, you may be interested in a bridge I have for sale.

is that a design flaw, or have assembly workers found a faster curing method that hasn't in all ways delighted the designers? or even were the assembly line pushed to develop faster systems?

Press reporting that a number of Tesla Executives and board members are off loading stock, never a good sign! I suspect they too realize that Tesla has been hugely over valued and will be looking a current and future sales projections very very nervously. Hopefully the slow, or hopefully quick, implosion of the Tesla bandwagon?

Elon Musk’s X obtains $44bn valuation in sharp turnaround

Social media site was valued at less than $10bn in September

Social media site X’s valuation has soared back to $44bn, underscoring the sharp turnaround in the company’s fortunes since its owner Elon Musk assumed the role of staunch ally to President Donald Trump.

Investors valued the platform at $44bn in a so-called secondary deal earlier this month, in which they exchange existing stakes in the company, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

....

https://archive.ph/ECpgT#selection-1739.0-1743.60

So the banks know this valuation is trash, & they also know that means the loans on Xhitter aren't secured, so they should call in the debt, but with all Space Karens cash in stock, them calling in the debt would be really, really bad, so they opt out of the responsibility to their shareholders, & pretend that everything is fine

One might reasonably ask what could be done to make those Teslas look worse? The Ford Scorpio starts out as a much better looking car, so much so vandalising those Tesla trucks may even raise their value

I suspect a lot of the anti EU animosity from the US gestapo is because their mate and funder Musk is angry his Tesla monstrosity is banned from sale in Europe and not just from being an ugly pile of shit but because it would likely kill any pedestrian it hits due to those sharp angles and poor safety features. Those pesky regulations again!

Elon Musk sells X to his own xAI for $33 billion in all-stock deal

Elon Musk has sold social media site X to his own xAI artificial intelligence company in a $33 billion all-stock deal, the billionaire announced on Friday.

Both companies are privately held, which means they are not required to disclose their finances to the public.

Musk said in a post on X that the move will “unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach.” He said the deal values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. Musk, who serves as CEO of Tesla and SpaceX as well as an advisor to President Donald Trump, bought the site then called Twitter for $44 billion in 2022, gutted its staff and changed its policies on hate speech, misinformation and user verification and renamed it X.

So he's using money VC idiots put into his bogus AI company, to buy (overpaying obviously), the SM company he's been destroying, so that he can claim success, & do an end run around data protection laws.

He has a track record of this, when he bought the company his cousins ran using Tesla investors money, & then righting it all off after a year or two, after spending ~$2.5 Billion on an obvious lemon.

Tesla (TSLA) announces 336,681 deliveries, far worse than expected

Tesla (TSLA) has released its Q1 2025 production and delivery numbers. The automaker confirmed it delivered 336,681 electric vehicles during the first three months of the year — far below expectations.

In Q1 2024, Tesla delivered 386,810 electric vehicles.

Due to demand issues and production challenges related to the Model Y changeover, Tesla was expected to see fewer deliveries in Q1 2025.

According to Tesla-compiled analyst consensus, the automaker was expected to report “377,592 deliveries” in the first quarter. The Bloomberg consensus from Wall Street analysts is higher at 390,000 deliveries.

Today, Tesla reported that it delivered 336,681 EVs in Q1 2025.

After Tesla's rough start to the year, Elon Musk is probably lucky that Americans cannot buy BYD cars.

Tesla's Chinese nemesis had another spectacular quarter, with sales jumping 60% in the first three months of 2025.

BYD has sold about 416,000 EVs and 570,000 hybrids this year. Tesla vehicle deliveries, meanwhile, came in well below analyst expectations, with the automaker announcing first-quarter deliveries of 336,700 EVs on Wednesday.

It's the second successive quarter that BYD has outsold its rival, with Tesla battling plunging sales as protests against CEO Elon Musk and DOGE spread worldwide.

Most concerningly for Elon Musk, a growing proportion of BYD's sales are coming from outside China.

The Warren Buffett-backed automaker reported record overseas sales in March for the third time this year as it expands aggressively in international markets.
