I think everybody, maybe except you. Quite a good movie although I prefer old Poirots and Smileys.

As far as I recall they didn’t have eccentric tech/energy billionaires.

They didn't have any, it's a relatively recent invention. In modern crime stories, the favorite villain is a tech billionaire.

Elon has, quite reasonably, been sued for securities fraud for his public lies about taking Tesla private at 420, with financing lined up. His lawyers have now moved to have the venue changed from California to Texas, because he had done so much damage to Californians that most jurors there are likely to be biased against him. Interesting argument!

But you’ll get a free Tesla with your subscription. Fully self driving. Would you accept it?

He’s testifying in the 420 Tesla securities fraud case (not to be confused with the 54.20 Twitter joke). It seems pretty likely that he’ll get off on a plea of insanity. Who’s gonna challenge that?

“I was sleeping in the factory to make things work,” Musk said. “The sheer level of pain to make Tesla successful in 2017-2019 period was excruciating for me and many others.”

He reiterated his mantra that short selling should be made illegal, telling jurors that short-sellers wanted the stock to go down and wanted Tesla “to die very badly.” (Bbg)

Musk is the victim in this case. Unfair everyone seems to be against him once again (except his mom)

Driver arrested after Tesla crashes and bursts into flames in downtown Toronto

Shouldn't they (finally) sue the Musk for false advertising instead?

There is a significant amount of brain damage in play here.

The same Elon Musk who cried to pause the AI chat models development for 6 months? Oh right...
