On this day in 2009…
Daimler acquired nearly 10% of Tesla.
It paid $50 million…
…for a stake that’d now be worth $55 billion.
Elon has said that deal saved Tesla.
Here’s more on the story… 🧵
This will inspire the s*** out of you this week.
This woman was limping.
Struggling with her hip.
She even pulled over on the road to stretch out her hip whilst her rivals disappeared swiftly up the road.
"She needs to stop."
- Paula Radcliffe (3x London Marathon Winner)
"Somebody needs to give her advice to step off and stop trying to run on."
But @SifanHassan, a former refugee who left Ethiopia for the Netherlands as a 15-year-old, did not stop.
In the end, the gruelling two-hour race came down to a sprint in the final few metres.
Against all odds, she grittingly WON the 2023 @LondonMarathon. 🥇
Best yet, she had NEVER raced a marathon before! This was her first.
Incredible. 👏👏👏
In whatever challenge you are facing this week, know that its not about how your start, its about how you FINISH.
The naysayers and doubters as "experienced" as they might be, can say whatever they like but, YOU write your own rules.
YOU write your own story.
Keep going!
One of the greatest moments of every London Marathon - your 2023 final finisher 🙌
We’re in awe of your determination to finish what you started.

It’s very disappointing to have a sitting Supreme Court Justice who refuses to define what a woman is. @riley_gaines_ helps Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson out with a definition of a woman.
Protecting women’s sports is a bipartisan issue. Contact your reps now. @coletonfurlow@IWF
Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman. The @ncaa is responsible.
If I was a woman working at ESPN, I would walk out. You're spineless @espn#boycottESPN
I chuckle inside when someone calls me a boomer.
You know why?
Because I know my pre-internet, pre-cellphone, real music, real instruments, nature loving, kick the can, skateboarding, bicycle tag, cruising the strip, bonfires, bellbottoms, muscle cars, Saturday morning cartoons, roller-rinks, cookouts, and jamming Boston-Boston on my 8-track tape in my jacked-up Nova with mags ... was 100% a million times better than your brain-dead, sterile, boring AF, whiny iPhone childhood.
To those of us who live in London. it will come as no surprise that London is polluted/gridlocked due to poor public transport & rubbish train service. Also, cutting side roads off to non-res traffic has created levels of pollution not seen in London since '50s. Mayor sharpen up!
If you look at the chart of LMVH and realize that Chinese tourists and shoppers who love luxury are about to be unleashed on the high streets of global capitals, I’d say he is a lot wealthier a year from now. Not advice.
I don’t think we knew how much of a moment we were witnessing when Colin McRae and Ken Block went head to head.
Both no longer with us, and the world is poorer for it.

Take a bow Lionel Messi - what a class act! He’s been serving up his irresistible magic for eighteen years for Barcelona, PSG and Argentina - thank you. Only Kylian Mbappe can live with you!
