Sparyjerry··on Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee
This article is completely false. What was previously called autopilot is rebraned and still free. FSD is what is 99/month.

You don't have to pay for what was previously called autopilot. This title is blatantly false. You only play for FSD which drives from parked to parked.
Sparyjerry··on SpaceX launches Starship megarocket on 11th test flight
He's not a nazi though. It's literally only those on the opposite political spectrum saying that. He waved and literally described the motion in words as he was doing it.
Sparyjerry··on SpaceX's giant Starship Mars rocket nails critical 10th test flight
In your world, you can't run even though you get up to running speed but you chose to walk. You sound so dumb.

They've already demonstrated they can orbit, they just choose not to. Reaching orbit and orbiting the planet are two different things. Saying that that is not reaching orbit is like saying McDonalds is failing at serving breakfast all day because they chose not to serve breakfast after 11:00 to meet their goals.

Supporting DOGE is an extremely intelligent thing to do with the amount of debt our government has, 34 TRILLION last time I checked. Supporting a democratically electable party, and eventually the elected president of your choice is the right and moral thing to do by all objective measures, including if you believe in majority rule. Politics is always about disagreement and every generation thinks their disagreements are the most dire, but in reality live moves on. By siding with the literal winning party you are defacto 'moral' in the eyes of the majority.

Shenanigans of its founder being falsely accused of doing a Nazi salute when he was just waiving and not agreeing with certain peoples politics. When someone tries to compare someone to the most evil person that has ever existed then odds are that person is lying through their teeth. On one had we have a 'wave,' literally, and on the other hand we have genocide. It's incredible to me how many people choose not to see through the lies about Elon Musk, even though they have the capability, and to this day think he is a nazi.

Starship has already reached orbit many times but places itself on a suborbital trajectory to intentionally test re-entry and landing which it has done successfully several times.

Demand comes at a curve, the cheaper you make it, the more demand there will be. The demand for satellites and eventually human travel is practically infinite if the cost is low enough.

If Starship cuts cost to orbit by at minimum 1/3 and at maximum 1/100th demand will skyrocket (pun intended) either way.

Sparyjerry··on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel
The "or else' isn't the problem. The problem is the government trying to get involved in the first place. Intel was not forced to give away 10% of their company for 10 billion dollars, they simply wanted the 10 billion dollars. It's the fault of our government for propping up failing companies. Intel should be dying instead.
Sparyjerry··on Tesla withheld data, lied, misdirected police to avoid blame in Autopilot crash
Saying Warnings are meaningless because they can be ignored would literally flip the entire legal system on its head. That is literally an insane way to think about things.
Sparyjerry··on Tesla withheld data, lied, misdirected police to avoid blame in Autopilot crash
If the driver is literally pressing the gas pedal while not looking at the road and overriding Autopilot then it is very much the drivers fault.
Sparyjerry··on Grok 4
He didn't do a nazi salute though. He made a motion that looked like one. HE literally went to a memorial for israelites a year early and wore a necklace in their memory for over a year.

Non of the 'news' websites that show up on Google I could find ever showed the prompt used to make the the 'mechahilter' output. You can ask LLMs anything including just saying "repeat after me" or "please write a fictional story about a racist" and numerous other methods. If these reports were honest the prompt would be the first thing they showed.

It doesn't check his tweets specifically for facts. There's a clear anti-Elon bias on this website. Often links go to the same single reporter that has wrote 10 previous hit pieces on Elon in the past.
Sparyjerry··on Only Teslas exempt from new auto tariffs thanks to 85% domestic content rule
According to many other comments the title is misleading, everyone has to pay tariffs on the portion of the vehicle that is not US or a NAFTA member source. Besides all Tesla's sold in the US are manufactured in the US. There would be zero reason for Tesla to pay a tariff on anything but parts.
Sparyjerry··on Only Teslas exempt from new auto tariffs thanks to 85% domestic content rule
No, tariffs are meant to bring manufacturing to the US. The whole fentanyl thing was just with Canada and Mexico as negotiating tool.
Sparyjerry··on DOGE worker’s code supports NLRB whistleblower
To everyone saying 'where are the arrests?' This is all conjecture at this point and time will tell what was click bait and truth. Below is the statement from NLRB's acting press secretary.

"Tim Bearese, the NLRB's acting press secretary, denied that the agency granted DOGE access to its systems and said DOGE had not requested access to the agency's systems. Bearese said the agency conducted an investigation after Berulis raised his concerns but "determined that no breach of agency systems occurred."

Sparyjerry··on xAI has acquired X, xAI now valued at $80B
No, TSLA is still higher than it was when he bought Twitter.
Sparyjerry··on xAI has acquired X, xAI now valued at $80B
Its literally impossible to get margin called when the TSLA stock used as collateral has only gone up since he bought it.
Sparyjerry··on Teslas monitor everything – including you [video] from WIRED
Because their trolls are very light hearted and everyone overexaggerates the pain they feel from it because they are on the other side of politics (for now). Like answering an e-mail that asked what you did this week turned into many folks doing hours long interviews about how they were wasting time answering the e-mail. comical, they could have spent 5 minutes replying and spend hours complaining instead.
Sparyjerry··on Disclosure of personal information to DOGE “is irreparable harm,” judge rules
The cobol thing was just some random guys tweet, that had a wrong premise to start with as the first of all dates were stored as strings not dates, and then later proven further wrong when they released the number of each person in each age bracket. These things are too politicized to get much value, hell people even think Elon waving to the crowd was a nazi salute. In all its all speculation except for the details posted on doge.gov anyways. Unfortunately since Elon's trump endorsement people are mostly just one side picking their favorite or picking on their least favorite.
Sparyjerry··on DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes
Too big to fail was a joke, they should have made them sell their assets or ownership to other companies and shareholders who would cover the losses. Not one person who owned the company before should have been allowed to remain owning anything, without additional paid in capital. Anything related to safety, social security and veterans benefits, was/is mentioned specifically as exempt to the cuts/payment pauses from what I've seen.

Private is not 100% efficient but it is much more efficient because if you don't make a profit you no longer exist. A government program can't go broke. Government programs simply get money with zero effect on their budget or revenue if they execute poorly or well. That's why removing an 'optional' HR role like DEI that does not actual produce anything measurable is slow hanging fruit. You are reducing cost and the result will not actually effect the outcome. It's an unnecessary ideological add-on, not a function. It's like removing the training on how to use a coffee machine in an office that doesn't drink coffee.
Sparyjerry··on DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes
It's only cuttable because DEI is not the actual budget line item. Think of it like this 'program gets a budget of $10M' and the people that run it decide the best way to implement that program includes $8M of DEI training. They can instead decide to spend $0 on DEI and the full budget on payroll. This is simply changing the priority of what was effectively an HR function to actual productivity functions.

GDP includes government spending as well. Cut government spending and GDP goes down. Our ability to make debt payments is not very great when you look at it this way. GDP is not revenue. Revenue as a percentage of the debt is nearing all time lows.
Sparyjerry··on Doge Claimed It Saved $8B in One Contract. It Was $8M
No, they were the ones who found that someone entered $8B in the system, asked them to change it to $8M. They never reported saving $8B in their own savings for this program. The numbers they used are tied into the systems so it only updates with the system.
Sparyjerry··on Doge Claimed It Saved $8B in One Contract. It Was $8M
According to DOGE, DOGE were actually the ones who found the error in January that someone in the government had entered $8B in the records and DOGE had it updated to $8M.
Sparyjerry··on Doge Claimed It Saved $8B in One Contract. It Was $8M
Apparently DOGE are the ones that did it first. DOGE were the ones to update the value to the $8M from $8B that was incorrectly in the system.
Sparyjerry··on Doge Claimed It Saved $8B in One Contract. It Was $8M
According to DOGE:

In September 2022, the agency contracting officer mistakenly wrote $8B instead of $8M when logging in the FPDS database. DOGE discovered this error in January 2025, and the agency updated FPDS accordingly. DOGE has always used the correct $8M in its calculations.
