Swasticars

Deplorean driver error is much more likely, maybe even FSD failure. But WankPanzer owners are not known for their exceptional parking skills anyway.

Obviously this is not an exhaustive list of parasites on this billboard's infographic. Feel free to add your own worst parasitical billionaires (and evil multinational corporations) in the comments.

Elon Musk's new Tesla pay package is around $100 billion a year.

That's as much as all 3.2 MILLION cashiers in America make.

It's $3 billion MORE than all the elementary teachers make.

It's $46 billion MORE than all the construction workers make.

Tax the damn rich.

Shitposting to wind up them fanboys. They know who they are.

Musk, one post read, could end world hunger within five years by putting $40 billion towards the effort each year through 2030. He could also provide safe, clean water universally for just $140 billion per year for seven years. He could also save more than 10,000 endangered species for the low price of $1-2 billion per year. And for just $53.2 billion, he could rebuild Gaza and other areas of the West Bank destroyed in the region. Needless to say, Musk likely won’t do any of these things — which is the root of Eilish’s follow-up post.

. . . and Bezos, Zuck, Ellison, Trump, Murdoch

That RIP Charlie Kirk decal... fucking hell. And look at the sorry state of that MAGA wrap. Did it melt or was it a collision?

This photo is a few months old, but I only just saw it. Apologies for the delay.

Multi-billionaire Nazi Musk clearly has nothing better to spend his money on...

My previous post on this did poorly. Hoping a cute fennec fox meme will improve engagement.

Tesla sales have also been falling across much of Europe: new car registrations dropped 89% in Sweden, 86% in Denmark, 50% in Norway and 48% in the Netherlands in October, according to local industry data.

France was an outlier, where the company made a small gain in sales for the second month in a row.

Meanwhile, data from the Chinese Passenger Car Association released on Tuesday, showed that shipments from its Shanghai factory continued to decline, with 61,497 units shipped in October, down about 10% compared with last year.

Here’s how this likely worked in practice: First, Musk turned X into a center of gravity for his own far-right views, and appeared to amplify those who share them. Then he fed this repository of conspiracy theories, vitriol, and memes into an AI model already designed not to shy away from controversial or even hateful views. Finally, Musk used that AI model to write an anti-woke encyclopedia. Now Grokipedia recasts its creator’s opinions as a fountain of objective truth—providing a “comprehensive collection of all knowledge,” as Musk wrote on X. Grok, it should be noted, likely trained on Wikipedia articles, and several Grokipedia entries explicitly note that “the content is adapted from Wikipedia.” Having cannibalized what’s there, Musk wants to use his chatbot to remake the media, internet, and universe of knowledge to his liking.

Warning: Article will trigger Musk fanboys and MAGA cultists and other far-right neo-Nazis, all of whom can fuck off.

Wow

So barf

Much nazi

Such jackboot licking.

To be fair, dogs are far better than any billionaire. But the poker playing is apt.

Why am I posting this to Swasticars? Well . . .

I posted this to r/adviceanimals on Reddit yesterday. It was doing good, and within 7 hours it had 4.8k upvotes, over 90 comments and a record (for me) 185 shares, not to mention it was the #3 post on the sub ... and then the moderators silently removed the post. I don't know why; I didn't ask, but it didn't break any rules. I could guess, based on the absurdly high number of shares, that the far-right extremists (read as MAGA) and actual Nazis (read as ICE) were reporting the post so much that the moderators got tired of that. Just a guess.

Today is No Kings. Hope to see you all out there! Be safe. The Nazis are real.

Creating a consumer vehicle so awful, so hated, that the only way to get rid of them is to have your other Nazi-owned companies buy them.

Hundreds of Tesla Cybertrucks have been spotted being delivered Elon Musk’s private companies, SpaceX and xAI, as Tesla is having issues selling the electric pickup truck.

Cybertruck turned out to be Tesla’s first real commercial flop.

After planning for a production capacity of over 250,000 units per year, Tesla is currently selling the pickup truck at a rate of ~20,000 units annually.

A ~10% utiliation rate of a production line is a terrible situation for an automaker as much of the capital invested in the vehicle program becomes sunk cost.

But things are even more difficult with Tesla, as even with much lower production, the automaker often ends up having inventory build-ups for the Cybertruck.

Elon Musk has a solution: he had his private companies buy hundreds if not thousands of Cybertrucks.

Well, shucks!

The Cybertruck has no type-approval from the European Union (EU) due to significant passive safety concerns. Several specifications of the Cybertruck, particularly the sharp-edged, stiff stainless-steel body, violate EU safety standards, primarily for the protection of vulnerable road users.

EU safety standards do not only focus on the safety of the vehicle occupants but also on the safety of other road users and in particular of vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. These standards require, for example, passive safety features such as impact protection zones prohibiting sharp edges on the vehicle body and speed limiters on vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons – requirements clearly violated by the Cybertruck.

Excerpts from the article:

[...] things went south rather quickly. About 60 miles into the trip, the car hit a metal ramp while driving at roughly 75 miles per hour, leading to some airtime and serious damage. FSD Supervised didn’t brake or swerve, and the impact made the two men inside jump from their seats.

A Tesla owner and influencer attempted to drive a nearly brand-new Model Y coast-to-coast using only the company’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) assistance system.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said back in 2016 that the automaker would do the trip without interventions to prove to the world that it’s possible.

In the real world, the attempt ended with a crash just 60 miles after the starting point.

Apparently, Tesler paid for the battery replacement, which came in at $17,000.

Can neither confirm nor deny...

Swasticars are death traps. Avoid.

But we can do much better. Right? I hope so. Still, it's incredible to me that even now there are plenty of people who, knowing full well that Musk is an actual Nazi, still support him. We have our work cut out for us.

61% of respondents think Musk is a horrible cunt. We can do better than only 61%. Right? Right?
