Honestly, Google should have seen it coming. They are literally dangling themselves out in front of the GOP, not that they don't deserve it. Building a mass surveillance system as described sucks for civil liberties anywhere. However, if they go after Google, they better go after the NSA's mass surveillance setup as it's not much different.

Have you seen what the SEC has been doing to crypto? You're telling me the chairman appointed or Trump couldn't stand to benefit from their decisions? https://www.investopedia.com/tech/bitcoin-vulnerable-sec-man...

idk, a part of me wished he had dirt on some of these short trading firms, Greenlight Capital, etc. Short sellers do seem to have uncanny timing for playing press releases, especially when they are false. Lots of manipulation, especially in crypto, causing enormous losses. However, rarely do I see the SEC go after these guys. I would like the SEC to go after both, not just Musk, if it does turn out he defrauded investors. I admit, I want to see Tesla succeed, but not at the expense of HODLers, owners, and tech enthusiast. Musk doesn't need to be at the helm of Tesla for it to succeed. We just need somebody in there that can stabilize the excessive spending and research, start reducing the debt incurred. If Tesla can ever shed the debt, they wont have to worry about short sellers and the TSLA share price.

Remote wipe your phone if it gets stolen?

Seems like much of this is closely related to the 'going private' statements. I'm curious if Elon had it out for one of the many short selling firms exploiting TSLA stock, Citron Research, etc... There's more at work here than just Elon being overzealous with corporate ambitions. There are groups of people, venture capitalists, and banks hell bent on weaponizing margin trading to manipulate markets.

This is stupid. Nothing went wrong during the launch. It's a top-secret satellite they are not commenting on. Move along.

What's ridiculous about the home automation part is how users automate their homes by buying these absurdly expensive light bulbs, wifi enabled smart home bulbs $30-$100+, just to turn on an individual light. Not to mention, the more wifi devices you have in your house, the worse the coverage gets. Also, people don't seem to care about their privacy, all of these devices are always recording, in some cases even when muted.
