Smash and grab, looting, etc. are crimes of the poor. They make the news because they're brazen and shock our senses of citizenry. Not excusing it, but the data provides perspective; more goods are stolen from employees, more scams are perpetrated online, more money is stolen from illegal...

No, I like CEOs whose pay is linked to performance.

I hope you made a lot more than that 1 time gamble money cuz maintenance and insurance of that thing will cost you the car every... 8 years?

The point I was making is he doesn't draw a 20-40 million salary... The point he was making is, it wasn't easy to get to where he is and could have failed easily.

Time to waste is the ultimate luxury.

I don't recall which article I got the information from, but the jist of it was that Chinese EVs represented 0.02% of European EV sales or 3k cars. The largest number came from Tesla in China, but with a factory in Germany, it's a bit politically sensitive to challenge Tesla's imports, although...

I'm not sure I should be gloating about these graphs. As a strong proponent of the transition to EVs and clean energies, I'm fully aware that traditional automakers and the other industries displaced by political decisions will do their all to slow this transition. This is a game of chicken...

The competition isn't cars, it's buses. There's a large Asian community in LA going to Vegas every weekend. The bullet train will cut the time substantially and put the buses out of business if priced correctly.

What's a luxury car needed for when a cheap one can take you from A to B just the same? Think bling, bling...

Trains have evolved since those were built. But it's so expensive to replace them that we stick to antiquities. Yet we sure can spend billions on fighter jets and invisible frigates.

That assessment is at least 20 years old. China rightfully set the rules clearly: anyone wanting to profit from its market, either to sell to or to manufacture and export from must transfer their tech know how. I know businesses that were not willing to do so and did not move their...

I don't disagree with your western perspective, but it fails to look at this from a Chinese perspective. If you want to point to the origin of the conflict as China asserting its territorial zone of influence and not US putting strangleholds on an assertively competitive economy, you should at...

Ungrateful? Shouldn't western businesses be grateful towards China because it provided cheap, efficient labor to produce the goods that made them rich? Not one western company went to China to help raise the Chinese standard of living. That came as a consequence of the then Chinese government...

Projection is off. Didn't account for Powell and ensuing market drop, which TSLA didn't escape. No longer as confident to hit 315 by 1st week of October unless strong numbers posted or significant news. 290 by Q3 report.

My concern regarding small reactors is the risk from terrorism or even an accident.

Let's remember that the ball started in the US with their Huawei ban, then expanded to other companies like drone manufacturers and companies accused of working with the Chinese government, then expanded again to all tech capable of being used for military purpose. I'm actually surprised that...

There's no train culture in America, period. What you speak of on the East coast is commuter trains, like BART in the Bay Area. We chose cars and planes long ago but it doesn't have to stay that way. The problem is we have let industries buy our politicians to ensure no alternative...

It's not just the blue chip companies, any business looking to stay competitive set up shop in China where labor cost and operational efficiency surpassed anything we could do in the West. But this is why 300 million Chinese came out of poverty; it took accommodating government policies and...

The private one is built by a Chinese company, primarily so Chinese gamblers can spend more time in casinos on the weekends.
