Wow, A6 e-trons are depreciating fast! This is a RWD lemon-lawed model—but she's still got 100kWh battery with 800 V charging, full leather interior, electric dimming moonroof, Bang & Olufsen, etc....

Remember when Elon said he made a mistake being so visibly involved in politics? Money donated to Paxton campaign aside— what the hell is this?

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Vibes are bad for Starlink and Musk with this. He can try to finger-point or spend hundreds of millions in midterms to distract from this but jeez. nytimes.com/2026/10/21/world…

When Starshield Cut Out, Ukrainian Drones Fell From the Skies

Ukraine says it still doesn’t know why the military satellite internet service, a sister to Starlink, was abruptly throttled, leaving troops vulnerable to Russian attacks.

Always dig Rich Rebuilds and seeing my old car! One shock repair, 12V battery change, and coolant leak resolve later; he turned a $3k Hertz lot “salvage” rental car back into a dual motor 500 horsepower daily. 80k miles; drives fine! youtu.be/Jdm8qnlnzqc?is=ljRp…

to be clear this was not my old car exactly, just same model with similar mileage to when I traded in. This one was abused far worse but holds up great! 🇸🇪🇨🇳 build quality

Confessions: when I leased my Polestar 3 I was strongly considering purchasing a CPO gen1 R1T. I still think about it sometimes! Still wasn’t right numbers wise and no promotional financing + big repair bill scaries but every time I see one 👀🦛

Grateful to Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim for reminding the public that unlikeable tech people can be girlbosses, and not just bros. What a movie!

Although the depiction of bf Billy is perfect to a tee—especially seeing he was on the “All In” podcast recently. Expertise in one domain != general human intelligence

shoutout to everyone on this platform who are "predisposed to absolving @elonmusk of all his sins" - that's what the @verge posts on LinkedIn. But not on X. Even though on X, they have done, let me check... 254k posts to date! Why don't you say the same here, huh guys?

When you drive into Ukraine will it limit its speed and do a sieg heil? Is there a stash of ketamine in the glovebox?

The thing I’ve enjoyed from Roadster unveil most isn’t the car because it won’t be real and definitely won’t ship on time. It’s the glorious shitposting and memes of flying cars. Truly a culture capturing moment. Tesla can still do stunts. Bread and circus.
