@SquawkCNBC If I see one more CEO guest wearing black, I’m gonna change channels and I’m not buying their stock. There was only one person who could wear black and he’s gone.
Elon Musk just weaponized gravity.
The entire trucking industry has a physics leak bleeding billions.
Musk just sealed it.
Most people look at the Tesla Semi and see a cleaner diesel. A truck that swapped a gas tank for a battery.
That is a complete misread of the physics.
Musk: “Let’s say you’re going over a mountain range. In a diesel truck, you actually don’t capture the energy of height or potential energy.”
For a century, freight has fought gravity twice on every mountain.
A diesel truck burns thousands of dollars in fuel clawing its way to the peak. It arrives at the summit loaded with enormous gravitational potential energy.
And what does it do with that energy?
It throws it away as heat.
Musk: “You have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control.”
Diesel burns twice.
Fuel going up. Hardware coming down.
A century of logistics, and the descent was never anything but a cost to be survived.
The Tesla Semi doesn’t survive the descent.
It harvests it.
Musk: “An electric semi truck is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.”
Regenerative braking doesn’t just slow the truck. It converts 80,000 pounds of downhill momentum into raw electricity flowing back into the battery.
The mountain stops being an obstacle.
It becomes a power plant.
Here is the thermodynamic reality the market is missing.
Diesel is closed on the descent. There is no version of a combustion engine that turns downhill momentum back into liquid fuel. It is structurally impossible.
Electric is open in both directions. The same system that spends energy to climb gets paid on the way down.
Wall Street keeps pricing the Tesla Semi on a cost-per-mile comparison. Kilowatts versus gallons.
They are solving the wrong equation.
You cannot win a price war against a machine that bills the planet for its own fuel.
The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice
And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr and his fans dredging up the same nonsense
Such a tiresome waste of time
ZELENSKYY: I want American people to understand: we are your allies in Europe. World has no distance anymore — when drones already strike thousands of kilometers.
One, two, three years — drones will strike ten, twenty thousand kilometers. With reactive engines, they will be very cheap. There will be swarms of these drones.
You can’t defend that by yourself. The world has to help countries defend themselves and push the aggressor back. That’s why, i think, Americans need us, and we need the United States.
