In related news, Musk appeared on stage in Wisconsin wearing a cheese wedge hat, and appeared as high as akite.

Wisconsin is known as the cheese state so he was just karma whoring with the locals. He also doesn't appear more out of it than usual in the YT clip I saw.

I like how you can report scams, etc, on Facebook and nothing happens. Report a fake Musk profile and its gone by the end of the day 🙄

Mentioned in passing in the article China's "new set of rules for connected vehicles"

China has implemented strict regulations to ensure that data collected by autonomous vehicles remains within its borders.

In China, smart vehicles are not allowed to transmit data directly overseas. Instead, they must use domestic cloud services for any data transfers.

Chinese autonomous vehicles are required to have onboard data storage systems.

Tesla drops ‘FSD’ from name of its driver-assist tech in China: Electrek

After a rocky rollout of its “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) system in China, Tesla is dropping “FSD” from the name of the system while it faces increased scrutiny from regulators.

Last month, Tesla started rolling out a limited version of its FSD system in China, finally allowing driver assist features to be used on urban roads in the country after a long wait.
...
It’s clear that the system still needs more knowledge about Chinese roads in general, because it kept mistaking bike lanes for right turn lanes, etc. One driver racked up 7 tickets within the span of a single drive after driving through bike lanes and crossing over solid lines. If a driver gets enough points on their license, they could even have their license suspended.
...
It looks like it’s now making some naming changes, too – and these changes are timed in a way that suggests they might have something to do with that new scrutiny for connected vehicles.

Now if only the EU regulators had the balls to do this too. "All data must remain within the EU... unless it goes to the US".

The manly man who waved a chainsaw above his head celebrating firing hundreds of thousand of workers

And said this last month

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit, There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”

Musk regularly berates those he disagrees with on the X, the platform he owns, including using language mocking people with "retard" and "pedophile"

Now this babt is crying because people are being mean to him

“I mean, you have Tim Walz, who’s a huge jerk, running around on stage where the (Tesla) stock price had gone in half, and he was overjoyed,” Musk told Fox News' Bret Baier. “What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk.”

God he looked stupid with that cheese hat on his head in Wisconsin. And what did he have to show for it? And his millions of dollars poured into the Supreme Court race? Fortunately, nothing 😀

US Attorney-General Pam Bondi is formerly Florida's Attorney-General .

In 2013, Bondi's re-election campaign received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation while her office was considering whether to investigate fraud allegations against Trump University. Shortly after receiving the donation, Bondi's office declined to pursue legal action against Trump University.

Drug manufacturers of opioid contributed to heavily to her campaign and she was accused of failing to take action them.

She had this to say “These [attack on Teslas dealerships] are not isolated incidents, as you know, and these aren’t vandals. These are molotov cocktails. That could be a weapon of mass destruction that they’re throwing in Tesla dealerships.”

There have been three events of Molotov cocktails against Tesla dealerships, and no person was targeted and one was died.

She had nothing to say about the January vehicular terrorist attack in New Orleans, carried out by a white supremacist, resulted in 14 deaths, and 35 injuries

Or the "Tesla Shield" counterprotest, comprising far-right extremists like the Proud Boys and armed militias, aiming to support Elon Musk and his initiatives.

The far-right Proud Boys’ chilling message for the world

This is alleged baby number 13, if anyone is counting.

Elon himself went into Laura's replies, responding, "I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year."

Ashley then wrote to Elon, responding, "Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused.

And you weren’t sending *me* money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for 'disobedience.' But you’re really only punishing your son.

It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world

It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it.

America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child."

quickymart: God he looked stupid with that cheese hat on his head in Wisconsin.

I've already pointed out in The Other Thread that Wisconsin is known as the cheese state, so this wasn't as crazy as it seems, just his ten-year-old's mind attempt at humour ("let that sink in") and trying to curry favour with the locals. It looked stupid when viewed from NZ, but not from a local perspective.

Pathetic maybe, but not really stupid.

Not trying to blame the victim here but why would anyone still have a child with this creep? It's not like it's not abundantly clear by now what you're getting into with him.

I would think either for fame or money (or both).
