    IIRC, it was Elon Musk talking about how the EV1 was an influence.

    It seems like any mention of a techbro unless it is wild praise seems to result in direct unreasonable involvement.

    Giggle changing its generic uninformative video/account removal comment in the last couple years to a
    “Terminated” phrase smells of a pleasant Musk.

    gotta wonder why Giggle is becoming more of a white knight edgelord Corporate protector in the last 2 years.
    The things it’s protecting don’t financially benefit them so it’s a rather sad look.

    I have a tendency to complain about a company that starts with a letter A because our bad local regional and federal policies give large companies what amounts to “free money and land” for ma jobs .
    These areas many times do benefit from ma jobs but the payback and potential losses from corporate welfare rarely pencil out(.gov guaranteed nonsense is usually a looser, I need only look locally at all the .gov guaranteed loans causing unwanted, new strip malls to get built, stay half empty and get demolished after nonpayment of taxes a decade or two later.

    (every time I post the above “A” calls me reminding me of the benefits to society they provide, my primary issue is with government policies that benefit them and not as much their existence, they afterall are using government policy)
