@VerhalenB@thejefflutz I never said he was guilty. Good bye Flash Frame. I’d like to say it was fun talking to you, but it wasn’t. I’ve explained everything to you twice. There won’t be a third time.
@pcdoctor48@GuntherEagleman@RobScott1216528 The View has an audience who has little interest in fact checking. It’s like a liberal fan site. The refs are always wrong…. so to speak.
Flash Frame his affair was discovered, because his Chinese mistress was part of a Federal investigation for criminal Chip smuggling.
Not sure what part of that you aren’t getting. He is connected. What Jensen knew and when has not been disclosed, but his resignation doesn’t end the Federal investigation.
Leaving Nvidia actually puts him in more legal danger, not less. He’s no longer protected by the company, Nvidia’s board and lawyers have every reason to cooperate with prosecutors, and he’s agreed to testify before Congress, under oath, before Thanksgiving. Hiring Paul Weiss suggests his own
This from his possible
knowledge of chips getting o China.
If charged and convicted:
• Economic Espionage Act: Up to 15 years (if he knowingly passed trade secrets to benefit a foreign government).
• Export Control Reform Act: Up to 20 years (for willful diversion of restricted AI chips to China).
• Criminal securities fraud: Typically years in prison (if he intentionally lied to prop up the stock price).
These are statutory maximums. Actual sentences depend on the specific facts, plea deals, and guidelines; nothing has been charged yet.
Trump calling Tim Cook the natural successor to Jensen Huang at Nvidia is a category error.
Cook scaled Apple’s existing machine into a services giant. He did not invent the next product category. He killed the car project, left Siri a punchline for years, and shipped iPhones that were mostly iterative.
Huang bet the company on AI compute and won. Those are not the same job.

This is the future of #Cybercabs and other Tesla autonomous vehicles. Imagine connecting the entire USA with hubs… 👍
Here’s my idea for connecting Texas cities with Cybercabs: link the city service areas with narrow highway corridors and place switching hubs along the longer routes.
You’d book one trip from your starting point to your final destination. If a car change were needed, the system would arrange for a fully charged Cybercab to meet you at a hub. You and your bags move into the next car, while the arriving car stays behind to recharge.
Think of changing planes, but with your next ride parked nearby—no terminals, security lines, or long walks between gates.
Proposed hubs at Waco, Centerville, and Columbus would split many trips into legs of roughly 75–125 miles. Dallas to Houston, for example, would be about 122 miles to Centerville, then 117 miles to Houston.
You could choose the stop that suits you:
• Quick switch: aim for about 3–5 minutes with the next car ready.
• Bathroom break: take 5–10 minutes and continue in a charged car.
• Food stop: grab coffee, pick up a preordered meal, or sit down to eat. The system schedules your next car around your break.
Those times are design targets. Making this work would require enough charged cars, reliable coordination, easy luggage transfers, and assistance for passengers who need it.
Short trips—or longer trips with enough remaining range—would continue without a swap.
The idea is simple: let the cars recharge while passengers keep moving, and combine necessary stops with the breaks people already want to take. @tesla@elonmusk@herbertong@CernBasher@thejefflutz@pbeisel
Nice try. It should work on people who either aren’t good at research or math or who just want to believe.
Unfortunately, I prefer the truth and the truth is Muslims are significantly underrepresented among elected officials relative to their share of the population.
Key numbers
• Muslim population share: Pew Research Center estimates about 5.5 million Muslims of all ages in the U.S. in 2026. That is roughly 1.6% of the total U.S. population. 
• Muslim elected officials: 255 (per the CAIR 2026 directory).
• Total elected officials in the U.S.: Estimates based on the Census of Governments and other tallies commonly put the figure at roughly 500,000 (one detailed count is about 497,000; others land in the 500k–520k range).
The large majority are local (city/county councils, school boards, special districts, etc.).
@amMeButYouRu@JCChristopher ItisMeHere, Exactly. It seems like a natural evolution of the Cybercab geo-fences until there aren’t very many geo-fences at all.
It makes a lot of sense in the denser areas like the East Coast and much of Europe.
If Tesla has the in between city depots to switch cars you could get out, go inside to take a bathroom break and get something to eat.
Maybe the depots could be a bit like the Tesla Diner with cars ready to go. Take as long as you want and when ready hope in one with a full charge and off you go.
Adam, well 51% of passenger miles is possible for fully autonomous vehicles. Tesla getting all 51% is another challenge.
On Elon using that as an excuse, he’s been very open about their direction towards autonomy and as an investor, I wouldn’t buy Tesla stock, with a valuation more than the next 37 automakers if I thought keeping the S,X and Cybercab would justify that.
Tesla is all about autonomy, so yeah cancelling those products comes as a shock to some, but I’ve posted before that Tesla may not sell any cars at some point, so no surprise to me.
It will replace a percentage of vehicle ownership. Not all, but for many the 2nd or 3rd car sits for too long, depreciates too fast and insurance is too much. Especially for city drivers or young people with high insurance and no down payment.
Hard to predict the future, because we’ve never seen a low cost alternative that could be very convenient… like we will in the next few years. A lot of it depends on wait times. If wait times are 1-2 minutes and cost per mile is well under a dollar…. Who knows.
