Holy hell. The Truck is such a complete fucking sales disaster that he's getting a corrupt deal with the military to buy them as targets.

THE TESLA TRUCK IS SUCH A COMPLETE FAILURE THAT THEY'RE SELLING THEM TO THE MILITARY AS TARGETS FOR TARGET PRACTICE.

No doubt at full price or some shit. Gotta claw those losses back somehow.

6,000 Patents Hidden By The Government | U.S. Invention Secrecy Act

Short video: https://octade.net/urls/6000_patents.html

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.

From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.

This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?

I saw 2 #Tesla model Xs today with nothing on them about Tesla, no name, no logo. Have they been producing them without a name for quite a while, or did their genus CEO #ElonMusk destroy the brand so badly Tesla is afraid to advertise their own products?

Engadget: Tesla shuts down in-house Dojo AI supercomputer project. “As first reported by Bloomberg, Tesla is disbanding the team behind Dojo, its in-house AI-training supercomputer, and reassigning remaining staff to other projects within the company. This marks a shift in the company’s compute sourcing strategy for its AI-focused initiatives such as autonomous driving and the Optimus robot.”

Electrek · US military is buying Tesla Cybertrucks to use as targets for missilesBy Fred Lambert

used swasticars are now cheaper on average than other used cars and used rhodesian wankpanzers are down 30% year over year.

meanwhile the stock market still values Tesla as being worth more than all the rest of the world's car companies put together.

> "As of early August, the average price for all used vehicles in the U.S. was $28,048. The average price of a used Tesla was just $27,852, down a steep 14% year-over-year. "

BOMBS AWAY!!!!..... Air Force Plans To Buy @ElonMusk's Cybertrucks For Target Practice As @tesla Sales Plummet

DAILY VOICE: The Air Force is aiming to buy #Tesla's widely maligned #Cybertrucks for target practice.
