More than 70 pecent of the end-of-life lithium-ion batteries in the US flow through Redwood Materials to be recycled into their base elements. Redwood is now the largest Cobalt producer in the US, as a result.

We spent a day with Redwood's CEO JB Straubel to see the whole operation in action. https://t.co/IdadswB8Dl

Tesla has posted a job opening for a Business Development Manager for its Semi truck, based in Parsdorf, just outside Munich, Germany.

The role is a B2B sales job, and it involves lining up fleet customers, configuring the trucks and their charging, and expanding the Tesla Semi's customer base in the region. https://t.co/7BkymdFkMw

When discussing how @SpaceX will trade in the month after its IPO, the $1.77T valuation is less important.

The bigger number is the $75B primary raise (potentially $86B with overallotment), which should fuel an IPO pop given the very limited float.

Longer term, there should be little debate. SpaceX should be a core tech holding. Like him or not, Elon is a generational founder, and the company’s position as the leader in sovereign AI stands alone when it comes to durable long term growth potential.

In the Donetsk region, the Russians are quite simply burning everything alive.

Footage of burning phosphorus rain over Kostyantynivka.

White phosphorus ignites spontaneously and burns at temperatures exceeding 800°C. If it comes into contact with a human being, it causes deep chemical and thermal burns. Phosphorus is nearly impossible to extinguish with ordinary water; its combustion is accompanied by the release of dense, toxic smoke that instantly sears the respiratory tract. Moreover, the resulting widespread fires and the long-lasting chemical contamination of the soil make this weapon a devastating threat to all living beings in the vicinity of the impact site.

Russia is cancer.

As an Iranian inside Iran, I feel like I have to speak out because at least on the surface, things seem grim.

Trump said he had a "good call with Hezbollah" and again just said that "we seem to be getting along quite well with the Ayatollah. I would like to meet him."

Is this the same Trump who took out Khamenei senior and boasted about it? The one who stared down the regime?

We Iranians didn’t rise up, bleed in the streets, lose over 40,000 souls in the fight against this regime — just so America could cut deals and “get along” with the Ayatollah.

You didn’t have to offer help. But you did. We trusted you. We put you front and center in the plan to finally end this nightmare.

This reversal? It’s nothing short of betrayal. I still have hope, but if everything is just as it seems then it's over.

If this is some 4D chess by Trump to wind everyone up, it better have a damn good punchline coming — because right now it looks like weakness, and weakness only invites more IRGC terror, more dead civilians, and more delay on the day the Lion and Sun finally rises.

Iranians are watching. There is still time to set things right, but the window is closing.

Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.

Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.

Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.

I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!

DEBATT: ”Låt Tesla-konflikten markera slutet på fackets skadliga metoder”

Det riktiga priset har betalats av småföretagen, skriver Företagarnas arbetsmarknadsexpert Lise-Lotte Argulander i Arbetet:
https://t.co/FyDo2xNW9n

"Den rekordlånga konflikten mellan Tesla och IF Metall har varken drabbat världens rikaste man – Elon Musk – eller gjort något större avtryck i IF Metalls stridskassa.

Det riktiga priset har betalats av småföretagen.

PR-trick som drabbat elbilsägare
Utifrån ett PR-perspektiv är det smart av IF Metall att ge sig på ett av världens största företag och världens rikaste man i ett försök att pådyvla Tesla svenska kollektivavtal.

Nyheten har kablats ut i hela världen. Men några resultat, om man vill kalla det för det, är inte uppnådda.

Kostnaden för strejken har i stället burits av mindre underleverantörer till Tesla som har blivit utsatta för sympatiåtgärder.

Vanliga, hederliga småföretagare har alltså fått sina intäkter strypta av facket.

Det har bara lett till förlorad lönsamhet och uppsägningar av personal.

Vidare har Teslas tusen laddstolpar varit obrukbara under den rekordlånga konflikten.

Med andra ord, elbilsägare av alla märken har fått det svårare att ladda sin bil.

Blottlägger fackens tvivelaktiga metoder
IF Metall verkar nu pausa strejken mot Tesla.

En sannolik orsak till det är att facket har försatt strejkarbetarna i en knivig sits; de har fått sin sjukdomsgrundande inkomst (SGI) nollad och inga pensionsinbetalningar har gjorts på två och ett halvt år.

För den som ska vara föräldraledig eller blir sjuk kommer konsekvenserna bli monumentala.

En annan anledning är att man inser att några fackliga framgångar är svåra att nå mot Elon Musk.

En av få människor på jorden som har större stridskassa än vad IF Metall har.

Konflikten har varit skadlig och är en tydlig illustration över fackets nästan gränslösa makt och tvivelaktiga metoder.

Ovärdigt ett företagarland som Sverige
Det är ovärdigt ett företagarland som Sverige att helt vanliga småföretag ska kunna bli utsatta för fackliga blockader om de har ”fel” företag i kundlistan.

Förhoppningsvis släpper facket snarast sympatiåtgärderna som fortfarande, två och ett halvt år efter konfliktens start, skadar många oskyldiga svenska företag.

Vidare måste den svenska fackföreningsrörelsen förstå att ett nej är ett nej och att det råder avtalsfrihet i Sverige.

Det betyder att det står varje företag fritt att teckna kollektivavtal.

Vi kan inte ha en ordning i Sverige där fackpamparna i LO-borgen själva dikterar villkoren på svensk arbetsmarknad.

Kollektivavtal är ingen naturlag
IF Metall och LO-kollektivet behöver förstå att kollektivavtal inte är en naturlag.

Kollektivavtalens relevans bygger på att modellen känns attraktiv.

Då behöver sympatiåtgärder upphöra och strejker vara proportionerliga utifrån konfliktens natur.

Vidare måste spelreglerna vara möjliga för små företag att följa.

Tillbaka till grundkonflikten mellan Tesla och IF Metall.

Vi på Företagarna har tidigare kallat den för en PR-driven vendetta. Det stämmer fortfarande.

När det kommer till den fordonstekniska kompetens Teslas medarbetare besitter är de heta villebråd på den svenska arbetsmarknaden.

Handlar inte om arbetsvillkor
Många företag letar med ljus och lykta efter fordonstekniker och erbjuder riktigt bra villkor. Så även Tesla.

Det är uppenbart att konflikten inte handlar om villkor och ersättningar.

Annars hade företaget haft lika svårt som andra verkstäder att locka personal.

Vår sista uppmaning till IF Metall är att kroka arm med oss och andra krafter i samhället som försöker lösa kompetensbristen och höja praktiska yrkens attraktivitet.

Så utvecklar vi fordonsbranschen och gör arbetsmarknaden bättre.

Låt oss hoppas detta är början på slutet av norra Europas onödigaste fackliga konflikt.

In 2012 we started building Superchargers, as charging infrastructure just wasn't taken seriously. Superchargers are growing 1+ stall every hour and are a pillar for EV adoption.

We're now doing the same for electric Semis with Megachargers. The goal is to transform this industry next. It's super exciting to be part of a company that can will this into existence. The @TeslaCharging teams are cut out for this and are inspired to make it happen.

Different from the early days of Superchargers, is that companies and fueling providers are finally taking charging more seriously. We're seeing a lot of interest to invest in charging infrastructure, including Semi infrastructure. This is great.

We'll be building out Megachargers either way, but if other companies are investing in private or public Semi charging, consider doing it with the very best hardware, software & service: Semi Charging for Business

It's another horrific day.

The regime in Iran has tortured Hesam Alaadin, an ordinary father of twins, to death for owning a Starlink dish. His body was just handed to his family. Hesam was arrested in January and suffered for months.

Read that again: Tortured to death for simply being online.

Regime thugs are hunting for Starlink users door to door, because they don't want the truth about the reality in Iran to come out. The IRGC is turning the country into North Korea, a nation sized prison camp.

It can't go on like this. Iranians must have the internet restored by any means.

I am asking all tech giants to please think of a way.

HORRIFYING NEWS:

The regime in Iran has confirmed that 21 year old Sasan Azadvar has been executed.

He was arrested in January for protesting for freedom, and he is no longer with us. He did nothing wrong and only wanted freedom.

The mullahs hanged him.

This is Shayan Hadian. He is 17.

The Islamic regime arrested him after the January protests and forced him to confess he “led the January protests.”

Now they plan to hang him.
He is just a kid.
Share this before they kill him.
