Second-hand Teslas flood the market as Elon Musk faces British backlash

 British drivers are offloading Teslas in record numbers amid a political backlash against Elon Musk, the company’s chief executive.

Figures from Auto Trader showed that 4,822 second-hand Teslas were advertised on the car site in February and 4,639 in January, a significant increase on previous months.

The number put up for sale in February was up 36pc from December and up 70pc from the same month last year.

It comes as the company faces growing competition among electric car makers. Meanwhile, Mr Musk’s closeness to Donald Trump and support for far-Right European parties has divided opinion.

The number of second-hand Teslas advertised on Auto Trader has risen steadily over time, as increasing numbers of motorists who acquired new cars several years ago put them up for sale.

However, the rise in listings between December and January was the biggest month-on-month increase on record.

Second-hand Tesla prices have also fallen heavily as more owners put them on the market. A three-year-old Model 3 cost an average of £20,887 on Auto Trader in February, down 17pc year-on-year. This compares to an 8.2pc fall in like-for-like prices of all electric cars in the year to January.

Tesla shares have fallen by more than 30pc this year as it faces falling sales in multiple markets. This week, figures have shown orders falling by 76pc in Germany, 72pc in Australia and 49pc in China.

In the UK, sales of new Teslas rose by 21pc in February, although this was an unusually strong month for electric car demand as buyers pushed to avoid a tax rise on new electric vehicles (EVs). The rise was slower than wider EV sales which were up 41.7pc....<<<Read More>>>...

DOGE to audit Pentagon

Elon Musk, as head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been tasked with revising federal spending, and has set his sights on the Pentagon and the Department of Education, US President Donald Trump has confirmed. The newly authorized audits come in line with a broad push to slash public expenses.

Speaking at the press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Friday, Trump said that Musk will go through "just about everything" while reviewing the budgets of the departments.
 

"I've instructed him to go check out education to check out the Pentagon, which is the military, and sadly you'll find some things that are pretty bad, but I don't think proportionately, you're going to see anything like we just saw. DOGE will find a lot taking into account how 'bad' it was with what we just went." 

Earlier this week, Trump stated that billions of dollars have been stolen by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), highlighting that the lion's share of the funds were used to pay for positive media coverage of Democrats...<<<Read More>>>...

Dismantling of USAID by Trump and Musk is a critical blow to globalism

 Alexander Dugin views the dismantling of USAID as a significant blow to globalism. He says it is comparable to the Soviet Union’s abolition of the Communist International (“Comintern”), an international organisation to promote world communism (1919-1943), and Cominform, a coordination body of Marxist-Leninist communist parties in Europe (1947-1956).

USAID was the primary structure for implementing globalist projects and was closely integrated with the CIA, Dugin writes. The dismantling of the agency by Donald Trump and Elon Musk will cut off funding for globalist networks and subversive activities, dealing a significant blow to the rules-based international order, also known as the one world governance system.

The liquidation of the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”) is an event whose significance can hardly be overstated. When the Soviet Union abolished the Comintern (Third International) and later the Cominform, structures that advocated the ideological interests of the USSR on a global scale, it marked the beginning of the end for the international Soviet system. Although the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) and the Warsaw Pact Organisation existed until 1991, their demise was essentially predetermined during Khrushchev’s time.

Something similar is happening today in America, as USAID was the main operational structure for the implementation of globalist projects. Essentially, it was the primary transmission belt for globalism as an ideology aimed at the worldwide imposition of liberal democracy, market economics and human rights, while dismantling sovereign states and overthrowing regimes capable of resisting this on a global scale...<<<Read More>>>...

Elon Musk reportedly plotting to oust British Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Starmer, who led the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 to 2013 during the height of the scandal, has vehemently denied these allegations, calling them "lies and misinformation."

He has defended his record, citing the implementation of new guidelines to challenge myths and stereotypes that had previously hindered prosecutions. According to Starmer, he reopened cases that had been closed, initiated the first prosecution of an Asian grooming gang and revised guidance on child sexual exploitation in 2013 to facilitate future prosecutions.

Additionally, Starmer claimed that the CPS saw the highest number of child sex abuse prosecutions on record under his leadership.

However, a BBC investigation noted that "the prime minister referred only to the broad category of child sex abuse prosecution data" and that CPS records do not distinguish between sexual abuse perpetrated by gangs and abuse perpetrated by individuals. Offenders can be prosecuted for causing or facilitating sexual exploitation or for committing specific offenses like rape and indecent assault. The broadcaster also found that prosecutions under Starmer peaked at 4,794 between April 2010 and March 2011 but rose to 7,200 per year in 2016-2017, after Starmer left the CPS...<<<Read More>>>...

Elon Musk: "I Show You The Original World Map They Didn't Want You to See

People shouldn’t be FORCED to take vaccines, Elon Musk tells Tucker Carlson

According to SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk, people shouldn't be forced to take vaccines – a clear swipe at companies who axed employees for noncompliance with vaccine mandates.

He made this remark during a recent interview with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, reiterating that vaccines deserve "caution" and "scrutiny." Musk touched on vaccines in the context of a potential repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA). Repeal of the CDA's aforementioned statute would make tech platforms such as X, which Musk owns, liable for published content.

"That doesn't mean that vaccines should not have any scrutiny. Of course, we should be making sure that the quality control is incredibly good, especially if we're giving them to children and whatnot. And we shouldn't force people to take vaccines," he told Carlson.

Carlson responded by calling Musk's statement "controversial." The founder of the Tucker Carlson Network even joked that the liability for vaccine manufacturers is not likely to be repealed, drawing comparisons with the CDA's Section 230.

The X owner also emphasized his opposition to vaccine mandates. "I believe in freedom; America's supposed to be the land of liberty," he said.

This mirrored Musk's sentiment from December 2022. "If you scare people enough, they will demand removal of freedom. This is the path to tyranny," he said at the time....<<<Read More>>>...

Tesla gigafactory battlezone: Hundreds of activists clash with police and storm the gates of the facility in protest over plans to expand it

 Activists demonstrating against the planned expansion of Tesla‘s gigafactory near Berlin are locked in violent clashes with police today as some tried to rush the site after hundreds turned out in protest yesterday.

Graphic images from the scene showed how officers equipped with riot gear were embroiled in a brutal fistfight with a sea of enraged demonstrators carrying flags and banners which read ‘disrupt capitalism, create future’.

One shocking clip saw a stampede of protesters charge across a field toward the officers, who responded in kind by spraying CS gas and beating the oncoming demonstrators with batons and reinforced gloves.

Several were seen being dragged away with bloody noses and arrested as others continued to push back against the heavily armoured riot police, chanting slogans including ‘say it loud, say it clear – Elon Musk is not welcome here’.

It is unclear whether any of the protesters have managed to gain access to the facility which was shut down for four days as of yesterday amid the demonstrations....<<<Read More>>>...

Elon Musk Says Gmail Alternative Called XMail ‘Coming’

 Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk revealed on his social media platform X that he will soon launch a new product called “XMail” as an alternative to the widely used Gmail service.

“It’s coming,” Musk said late Thursday when asked whether he planned to launch an XMail service.

Musk did not reveal any details about when the service might be launched.

His comments came in response to a post from a senior member of X’s Security Engineering program, Nate McGrady, who had asked, “When we making Xmail?”

Musk took over X, formerly known as Twitter, in 2022 and has introduced a wide array of changes to the social media platform. Gmail currently has more than 1.8 billion active users worldwide, accounting for about 30% of the global market share for email clients, according to Forbes....<<<Read More>>>..

Carbon credits, as pushed by Elon Musk, could stop people from growing their own food

The latest bizarre claim from the Cult of Climate Change says that growing food at home is bad for the planet and must be stopped.

New research out of the University of Michigan alleges that home-grown food, as opposed to store-bought industrial food, produces five times more carbon emissions. It concludes by basically warning that private gardens are a threat to the environment.

Billionaire electric vehicle (EV) guru Elon Musk, by the way, is pushing this same kind of nonsense. In a February 3 post to X, Musk wrote that "The only action needed to solve climate change is is [sic] a carbon tax"

When pressed on this by his followers, Musk responded that he believes a carbon tax is necessary "to tax what is probably bad (CO2), just like alcohol & cigarettes are taxed more than fruits & vegetables."...<<<Read More>>>....

Neuralink successfully implanted a brain chip in a human

 Neuralink founder Elon Musk on Monday announced a breakthrough in neurotechnology: the brain chip startup has successfully implanted a neural interface in a human for the first time.

The man who received the implant on Sunday is recovering, according to Musk’s post on social media X. Of interest are initial results that show promise in the detection of neural spiking. Implanting a brain chip could lead to major breakthroughs in brain-machine interfaces.

Neuralink’s achievement is part of PRIME’s ongoing research to evaluate the safety and functionality of wireless brain-computer interfaces.

According to the scientists, the interface will allow you to control devices using your thoughts, which is of great importance for people with quadriplegia (a condition in which both arms and legs are paralyzed).

However, additional details about the study have not yet been disclosed.

Elon Musk also revealed the name of Neuralink’s first product – Telepathy. It is assumed that this product will be able to control phones or computers with the power of thought....<<<Read More>>>...

 

Elon Musk says Microsoft developing real-life Skynet AI to control “every facet” of human life

Despite his own companies' dystopian endeavors, billionaire electric vehicle (EV) guru-turned-hypocritical social media icon Elon Musk is blasting Microsoft for its artificial intelligence (AI) plans.

A new Microsoft AI chip called "Maia" is set to be the cornerstone of the company's budding AI infrastructure, which competes with that being created by Musk, hence his criticisms of it.

Maia, we are told, will bring artificial generalized intelligence (AGI) to "every facet" of human life. AGI differs from the isolated AI applications many people now know about in that it supposedly represents actual "intelligence" minus human inputs, i.e., ChatGPT.

"ChatGPT and MidJourney AI are cool, novel applications, but they only function within a specific domain – an AGI is more like the science fiction computers we have seen in the Terminator franchise," explains Wlt Report.

It is probably because of billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates' original ties to Microsoft that the company is now an easy target for Musk, who is attempting to court conservatives into believing that he is somehow any different from his competitors....<<<Read More>>>..

Cult-Owned Musk SpaceX Rockets Making Holes In The Ionosphere

Last week, many Californians witnessed a red glow in the sky that could have been mistaken for an aurora. The recent burst of solar activity is bringing polar lights to lower latitudes than has happened for a long time, but nothing this large and bright has reached the outskirts of LA – instead, the sky colors came from a SpaceX rocket creating a hole in the ionosphere.

In the early days of space exploration, references were made to rockets “punching holes in the sky” and letting something awful through. Whether anyone really feared this, or it was just a way of mocking technophobes is lost in the mists of time, but it turns out something of the sort really can happen.

A 2018 paper in Space Weather (a peer-reviewed journal, not the helpful website) explores the impact of a SpaceX Falcon 9 flight the previous year to launch Taiwan’s FORMOSAT-5 satellite. It reports the rocket “Induced gigantic circular shock acoustic waves (SAWs) in total electron content (TEC) over the western United States […] The rocket-exhaust plume subsequently created a large-scale ionospheric plasma hole (~900 km [559 miles] in diameter).”

Some would call this a thinning, not a hole, but over an area more than 500 miles wide, TECs were reduced by up to 70 percent compared to normal conditions. Not all the hole was equally affected, with just 10 percent TEC loss in some areas.

That event didn’t attract much public attention, but a similar launch on July 19 this year did after photographs were posted on social media, including Musk’s own website, whatever he is calling it...<<<Read More>>>...

CBC Upset As Twitter Labels Them "Government-Funded Media"

 Twitter recently began adding labels to various news organizations that are publically or government funded, and some are taking great issue with it.

Twitter defines a “government-funded” media outlet as an outlet “where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content.”

CBC in Canada is one of the latest organizations to receive the rating, initially being labelled “government-funded media,” but now labelled as “69% government-funded media.”

This of course is entirely true. CBC received $1.24 billion in 2021-2022 in federal government funding. This sum is for all of CBCs content, not just news, but it doesn’t change the fact that CBC News is largely funded by government money.

CBC was not happy about the label and publicly took to Twitter stating:

“Our journalism is impartial and independent. To suggest otherwise is untrue. That is why we are pausing our activities on @Twitter”

They followed up with an article stating:

“We cannot in good conscience continue to post fact-based news and information to Twitter, or engage on it, while a false impression of government involvement in our work is allowed to stand.”

They are stating that by being labelled “government-funded” people will assume they won’t be impartial. But who would decide if someone is impartial? How would we know other than to look at the type of content CBC produces? Doesn’t CBC realize people think they are partial because of their heavy bias on events like COVID and the Freedom Convoy?...<<<Read More>>>...

"You Just Lied" - Elon Musk Shuts Down BBC Reporter During Live Interview

 On April 11th, Elon Musk was interviewed on the BBC by journalist James Clayton. It stands, in my opinion, as an excellent example of the decline of quality in mainstream media, and the stuck thinking that exists within most of its journalists.

Listening to the full 60-minute interview, it seems clear it was designed to place Musk in a bad light the entire time. While asking tough questions can be the job of a journalist, this interview reeks of attempts to create ‘got ya’ moments that just never arrive.

Like Musk or hate him, (and you don’t have to like everything he does) he is giving oxygen to important conversations, and pushing back on a mainstream culture that has deeply lost its way. Interviews like this expose the agenda of mainstream media, helping those who are on the fence about what to believe continue to think more critically about the narrative control of MSM.

Twitter Files: Don’t Get ‘Blackpilled’

 Are some of us stuck in an ever pessimistic rut about the state of the world that we can never see the possibility of change? How would we know if this was true or untrue about ourselves?

This question is important as we explore the Twitter Files because these revelations at hand are being made available by a billionaire with a ton of power and influence over society and culture. How are we to discern the actions of Elon Musk?

Disclaimer, it saddens me to some extent that I have to keep saying this but, no, I’m not telling you to trust Elon Musk, I’m simply saying let’s take a breath and think critically.

Bottom line is, if we are stuck in narrative capture of some sort, we may not see things too clearly. How would we know if we are stuck in narrative capture?

Another quick development to consider here. Elon Musk recently called the World Economic Forum “an unelected world government.” Currently, the annual WEF Davos meeting is in full swing, and Musk tweeted the following in response to a video talking about ‘systems and public trust.’...<<<Read More>>>...

Neuralink brain chip implants to be tried on humans despite causing MULTIPLE DEATHS in animal trials

 Big Tech mogul Elon Musk recently announced that his brain chip implants should begin human trials within the next six months.

During a show-and-tell event of his health tech start-up Neuralink, Musk shared updates to its brain-implant technology. He said the implantable brain-computer interfaces could restore a person’s vision, even in those who were born blind, and restore “full body functionality” – including verbal communication and movement for people with severed spinal cords.

“We’re confident there are no physical limitations to restoring full body functionality,” the tech tycoon said.

Neuralink, which is based in San Francisco Bay Area and Austin, Texas, does not have permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell the device.

“Obviously, we want to be extremely careful and certain that it will work well before putting a device in a human, but we’ve submitted, I think, most of our paperwork to the FDA,” Musk added.

The billionaire said he’ll get one implanted in himself as well. “You could have a Neuralink device implanted right now and you would not even know. In fact, in one of these demos, I will,” he said...<<<Read More>>>....

Elon Musk Reveals Why He Bought Twitter

 You may believe Elon in his stated intentions or you may not, but regardless, the stated intentions are exactly what our world needs right now: less censorship and more dialogue.

Yesterday Musk closed the $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. Quickly, he fired Twitter’s CEO Parag Agrawal, and chief financial officer Ned Segal. He also let go of the woman responsible for permanently deleting Donald Trump, Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s head of legal, policy and safety.

In a short sentence, Musk stated on Twitter that his reason for buying Twitter is to help humanity by breaking down echo chambers and creating a public square. Hoping to repair meaningful dialogue, the intention seems to be that Twitter will no longer censor or delete views that go against mainstream conjecture. Something that has become a problem on major internet platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Google, and YouTube....<<<Read More>>>...

Cult-owned Elon Musk: Your brain will get its own USB-C Port. What a blatant fraud this man is and still parts of the alternative media can’t see the obvious

 We are learning from the enemy what their true nature is .... when they are attempting to turn us into what they are, and that is computers or computer consciousness ....

That is why they are desperate to link mankind to themselves.

+++++++++++

Your brain, with a USB-C port in it. That’s Elon Musk’s vision for Brain Machine Interfaces (BMI). In a controversial July 2019 white paper he claimed that his company Neuralink had taken a huge step towards building a “scalable high-bandwidth BMI system” that would let the human brain “stream full broadband electrophysiology data” to a network, using a combination of ultra-fine polymer probes, a neurosurgical robot that sews them into the brain, and custom high-density electronics.

A “single USB-C cable provides full-bandwidth data streaming from the device” the paper noted: the device having been stitched, in theory, to your cerebral cortex. Neuroscientists were varying shades of intrigued, appalled and dismissive: the custom hardware would only pick up noise, they suggested: interpretation of brain waves simply wasn’t that advanced; the ethical issues were pronounced; the body would reject this level of intervention; where was the peer review of the paper?

A year later, Musk has promised a Neuralink update.

This was cryptically announced by Musk in July 2020, with the Tweets: “If you can’t beat em, join em Neuralink mission statement” and “Progress update August 28”. Ten days ahead of the reveal, we decided to take stock of Neuralink’s work’s and the ongoing discussion around the potential of BMI; speaking to a range of specialists in the sector about where the work was going and how realistic Musk’s vision was.

Neuralink began as a way to advance the technology of BMI: described by one organisation, the Mayo Clinic, as a technology that “acquires brain signals, analyses them and translates them into commands that are relayed to output devices that carry out desired actions”. (Many observers suspect that the pending update will have to do with the “analyse them” part of that statement, and Musk’s “if you can’t beat ’em” statement refer to his well-documented concerns about the power of AI.)

These “desired actions” could be how to move a wheelchair without the use of your arms or how to control bionic limbs: “It is plausible to imagine that a patient with spinal cord injury could dexterously control a digital mouse and keyboard” wrote Musk in the 2019 paper. “When combined with rapidly improving spinal stimulation techniques, in the future this approach could conceivably restore motor function. High-bandwidth neural interfaces should enable a variety of novel therapeutic possibilities”....<<<Read More>>>...
