This sounded totally insane so I looked it up.

It’s completely made up by a musk fanboy on Twitter. Tesla doesn’t release sales numbers, the figures they do release are vague and group the model Y with the model 3, and the Toyota Corolla’s (real) numbers are still kicking its rear end.

Successfully quashed a proposed road traffic order in 2020 against the installation of an electric charging point outside my house. I now own an electric car but the council refuses to install one because of a prior quashing order actioned by me

This is where he admits he made up the complaint that got the proposal quashed:

quote:

there is hardly any footfall presence - no children or elderly people - i just used it as a technical reason for them to stop installing it. they just didn't collect the data which the council was meant to do to see the potential impact of reduction of double yellow lines to install it. i will be honest, I don't think there would be any substantial risk to reduce the double yellow line (next to the lamppost) and install an electric charging point - i live near a T junction.

OP admits to being a dick because he didn't want to have to park his car a whole 10ft further away. The council took his word for it when he said there was a safety issue, now he's mad because they don't believe that he was lying.

juche ultimately doesn't really exist anymore, having been outmoded out into the jumbled claptrap of songun (which was basically "what a shame marxism hasn't evolved, but here you will see the majesty of Socialism With Korean Characteristics") because marxism isn't expressly clear enough for the dprk in saying "actually, true marxism is when you have a perfect leader man (me) and you do whatever he wills for the future of the country and the government is perfect"

which was then claptrapped into the further evolutions of kimilsungism-kimiljongism (which went into concluding "actually marxism-leninism is obsolete tired poo poo, and it is vital that we replace it with Our Leaderism")

but they will always call any of the interchangable new forms of governmental justification theories as juche when they feel like it

lmao on that day he tweeted that image; all the OSNIT satellite nerds and academics I follow on Twitter were in awe of the sophistication of the fidelity of the image he tweeted compared to what was available from modern commercial satellite imagery from Planet Labs.

edit: here is a comparison for reference, below is the best publicly available image from Planet Labs on the site with the upper part from what Trump tweeted



IIRC the tweet it was attached to amounted to "Sorry for your loss, BTW we didn't do it" :smugdon:

So much rage that day. Apparently Reagan did something similar in the 80s? Had a press conference in front of a SDI satellite mockup (Zenith Star?) and dropped all kinds of compartmented names and program details that had people working on the project apoplectic.

I'm suffering extreme second hand embarassment and heavy psychic damage from how bad of a poster Elon Musk is. It's unreal. He was bad at posting even before he spent 44 billion dollars to become King Shitposter, but now? I can't even imagine the amount of drugs he has to shove up his nose to stand the shame. At some point his heart will explode, surely? Mercifully?
