@christophrumpel@OmarchyLinux Just picked up a XPs 14 x7, 32G/1T, the m5 is just so much better still. If new apple finally deploys the their near ready but shelved zfs and slightly reduces restrictions on OS mods….
@dhh@johnternus I have a Dell XPS 14 arriving tomorrow, I now realize this guarantees Apple will open their hardware enough for Linux.
Would have much rather got this, for the same price.
@dhh@KevinNaughtonJr@MichaelDell It wasn't that quick, and the broken Visa Secure pop-up didn't help. Could be a much better experience.

There is no blind spot. There was a concerted and unprecedented effort by the administration to hamper Tesla and Elon Musk, and they succeeded. Lesser companies would have been destroyed.
1. White House exclusion and public preference for unionized Detroit brands
2. Proposed extra EV tax credit for union-made vehicles
3. NHTSA safety investigations into Autopilot and Full Self-Driving
4. DOJ criminal investigation into Autopilot/FSD marketing claims
5. NLRB labor actions against Tesla
6. Parallel actions involving Musk’s other companies
FCC denied Starlink nearly $885-$900 million in Rural Digital Opportunity Fund subsidies, concluding the company had not demonstrated it could meet required performance standards.
DOJ sued SpaceX in 2023 alleging discrimination against asylees and refugees in hiring (the company required U.S. citizenship or permanent residency for many export-controlled roles). The suit was later dropped.
Additional FAA launch delays/fines, SEC scrutiny of Musk’s Twitter/X stock disclosures, and FTC activity after the Twitter acquisition were also frequently cited by Musk as part of a broader pattern.
7. Delaware Court of Chancery “lawfare” over Musk’s Tesla compensation package
@DoctorJack16 Absolutely sell Tesla in a non taxable account to get exposure. This is to reduce risk if they don’t merge, if they merge it’s mostly irrelevant. There is not going to be a large premium involved, Elon can get the deal done with zero premium if he wanted to force it.
$TSLA 322 | $SPCX 112
At current prices, a market-based exchange ratio would be roughly 2.88 $SPCX shares per $TSLA share.
Without premium, $TSLA shareholders would own ~45% of the combined company. To reach 50%, a roughly 22% premium to current $TSLA price would be needed.
Recent $TSLA Q2 earnings showed a solid revenue beat and record deliveries, yet Elon spent much of the call sounding unnecessarily pessimistic about the heavy capex and near-term cash burn. He should have leaned harder into the positive metrics and growth trajectory instead of dwelling on the investment costs.
Elon owns ~20% of $TSLA and 46% equity in $SPCX. In the combined entity, his equity ownership would be ~34% while retaining 80%+ voting control via super-voting shares.

$TSLA 381 | $SPCX 124
At current prices, a market-based exchange ratio would be roughly 3.07 $SPCX shares per $TSLA share.
Without premium, $TSLA shareholders would own ~47% of the combined company. To reach 50%, only a modest ~12% premium to current $TSLA price would be needed.
Elon owns ~20% of $TSLA and 46% equity in $SPCX. In the combined entity, his equity ownership would be ~34% while retaining 80%+ voting control via super-voting shares.
The dual-class setup would keep his dominant influence intact. Hypothetical based on real-time prices. Thoughts? $TSLA $SPCX
