Whoopsie. Missed this earlier in the week. This is sort of what Martha Stewart went to prison for, right?

Musk accused of improperly selling $7.5 billion in Tesla stock before weak sales report that crashed its price
Elon Musk and the Tesla board are facing a shareholder suit over his sale of $7.5 billion worth of Tesla shares in late 2022, ahead of a January 2023 sales report that sent the price of the stock plunging.

Musk sold a total of 41.5 million shares of Tesla stock between November 4 and December 12, according to company filings, as he liquidated some of his holdings to free up cash for his recently completed purchase of Twitter.
The sales came not long after a October 19, 2022 earning call in which he told investors “I can’t emphasize enough, we have excellent demand for Q4.”

But when Tesla reported fourth-quarter sales, they were far weaker than forecast, and that sent stocks down 12%, the worst day of trading for the stock in more than two years.

Oh hey, the word is out on Musk's sexual relationships with a lot of women who've worked for him. Yeah, no surprise.

Elon Musk repeatedly approached women at SpaceX for sex, report says
Elon Musk has repeatedly approached female employees at SpaceX, a company he founded and leads, for sexual activities and to have his children, according to a new report.

The Wall Street Journal, citing interviews with dozens of people as well as text messages and other documents, describes the experience of four female employees at SpaceX who were showed an “unusual amount of attention” or pursued by one of the world’s richest people. That includes a SpaceX flight attendant who alleges that Musk in 2016 exposed himself to her and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for sex, and a woman who left the aerospace company in 2013 and claims Musk asked her to “have his babies.” After that woman declined to have his children, Musk began complaining about her performance and denied a raise. She later secured an exit package valued at more than $1 million, the Journal reports.
I've never been offered a horse in exchange for sex. I guess I haven't been working for the right kind of people...

A long transcript of WSJ's podcast on this story is available (if you want to hear/read the lurid details).

Aha!

The Tesla Cybertruck’s gigantic windshield wiper isn’t working for some people — and for others, it may be the reason they can’t pick up their car. Users on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum have reported that Tesla has been delaying Cybertruck deliveries on short notice, and wiper issues are apparently to blame.

Over the weekend, one forum user said Tesla told them the delivery pause was due to the wiper motor, while another said their delivery was pushed back because of the blade. A Reddit user said they were told their delay was due to “a windshield wiper arm issue.” And deliveries are still being held up, with forum users reporting Monday that Tesla informed them of delays.

The "exotic" police cruisers in Robocop were early Ford Tauruses when that rounded style of car was practically unknown instead of being basically every car on the street and honestly kind of old fashioned.

This is why we need to teach cursive. It looked like "fuck don" at first instead of "fuck elon."
