The US Department of Transportation has ordered states to kill their implementation plans related to the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, according to a memo obtained by WIRED that was later made public. The decision appears to halt in its tracks a $5 billion program designed to fund state projects to install electric vehicle charging stations across the United States.

Officials at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which manages the program, ordered state transportation directors to “decertify” the plans that all 50 states have used to outline where and how they will build their charging stations, and with what companies they’ll contract to do so. States have followed those plans to build more than 30 charging stations across the US, with hundreds more on the way.

Surveys show prospective car buyers cite the country’s lagging electric vehicle charging infrastructure as a major reason they won’t buy electric. The NEVI program, established by 2021’s Infrastructure Law, was the government’s answer to those concerns. It attempts to build chargers along thousands of miles of federal highway, with a focus on places that might not otherwise be able to financially support a charger.

The memo says transportation officials in President Donald Trump’s administration will write all new guidance for the program, which will then go through a public comment period. The timeline suggests work on the federally-funded electric vehicle charger network may be paused for months.

The order may be illegal. It could fly in face of court orders demanding the Trump administration “unfreeze” a funding pause that prevents federal money from flowing to state agencies. It may also violate the Administrative Procedures Act, which requires agencies to follow legal procedures before taking action.

“There is no legal basis for funds that have been apportioned to states to build projects being ‘decertified’ based on policy,” says Andrew Rogers, a former deputy administrator and chief counsel of the Federal Highway Administration.

The US DOT did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It’s unclear how the DOT’s order will affect charging stations that are under construction. In the letter, FHWA officials write that “no new obligations may occur,” suggesting states may not sign new contracts with businesses even if those states have been allocated federal funding. The letter also says “reimbursement of existing obligations will be allowed” as the program goes through a review process, suggesting states may be allowed to pay back businesses that have already provided services.

Billions in federal funding have already been disbursed under the program. Money has gone to both red and blue states. Top funding recipients last year included Florida, New York, Texas, Georgia, and Ohio.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has spent the last few weeks at the head of the federal so-called Department of Government Efficiency directing “audits” and cuts to federal spending. But his electric automobile company has been a recipient of $31 million in awards from the NEVI program, according to a database maintained by transportation officials, accounting for 6 percent of the money awarded so far.

The Trump administration has said that it plans to target electric vehicles and EV-related programs. An executive order signed by Trump on his first day in office purported to eliminate “the EV mandate,” though such a federal policy never existed.

NEVI projects have taken longer to get off the ground than other charging station construction because the federal government was deliberate in allocating funding to companies with track records, that could prove they could build or operate charging stations, says Ryan McKinnon, a spokesperson for Charge Ahead Partnership, a group of businesses and organizations that work in electric vehicle charging. If NEVI funding isn’t disbursed, “the businesses that have spent time or money investing in this program will be hurt,” he says.

Book Review 44 – The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal

Alright, first full novel I’ve read entirely due to it getting a Hugo nomination. In retrospect that fact that there was absolutely no wait list for it at the library was perhaps a sign I should have paid attention to. I’m not sure it’s a bad book, exactly, but my god is it just chock full of little things that grated on me (which more or less tracks with my very vague memories of casually perusing The Calculating Stars when it first came out, so probably just a sign Kowal’s not for me, really.)

The story’s set in a fairly grounded space age future, on an ultra-lux cruise liner taking its passengers from Earth to Mars in speed and style. Tesla Crane, heiress, celebrity, and generally incredibly famous and unfathomably wealthy, has booked one of the nicest suites in the earth-gravity section of the ship under a false name to enjoy some anonymity on her much anticipated honeymoon cruise. Things of course take a drastic turn as a woman is murdered outside their sweet, and her spouse is framed for the crime. The shipboard security is obstructive and suspicious, bodies keep piling up, and it’s largely up to Tesla to solve the murder and clear his good name.

So first off – this is largely a style thing that grates on me far more than it should, and it probably effects my overall reading experience to an entirely unjustified degree, but – the standard etiquette in the story’s future is for everyone to use the gender neutral Mx. Using gendered terms like wife, husband, sir, m’am, or similar is also called out as being somewhere between archaic and offensively retrograde. Also, it is totally standard courtesy to list someone’s pronouns in any case where you’d their full name. In which case what is the point of taking so much care to be gender neutral of everything else. (In a sense this actually inspired worldbuilding, insofar as it’s exactly the sort of stupid language games high aristocracy or its equivalent tends to love, but the reading experience kind of grated).

The society’s generally very consciously progressive in a way that kind of calls attention to itself. It really wasn’t a surprise to see in the acknowledgement’s section that all the mentions of courtesy masks being a thing were edited in as covid happened. This is all mostly just background noise though, as far as narrative focus the only things that really occupy the story’s attention are its portrayal of disability and its bizarre class politics.

So, a key point of her backstory is that some years before the story, a lab disaster (during a demonstration of a personal assistance mech, which is actually some incredibly bitter dramatic irony I’m surprised the story doesn’t call any attention to?) killed six people and left Tesla with permanent spinal damage, chronic pain, and PTSD. Medical science doesn’t seem to have made many innovations on a cane or breathing exercises as far as mobility aids and PTSD treatment goes, but it does provide the absolutely incredible wish fulfillment device of a switch in your brain that lets you turn your pain sensitivity up or down at will. Tesla’s disability is a recurring thing throughout the book and generally the portrayal seemed fine to me? A couple conversations that bled into ‘giving the reader an important message’ territory, but only slightly and hardly the worst in the book.

The book’s attitude to class and wealth though, woof. Like, okay, the story is clearly a bit of a pastiche, a sanguine attitude to vast inequality and social hierarchy are necessary for the whole fantasy to work, but my god in that case please stop calling attention to it. The book so badly wants to simultaneously be progressive and have Tesla’s life be as maximally glamorous and exalted as possible that it gets twisted into this incredibly awkward spirals showing that she’s a good hyper-elite oligarch which really only call attention to the issue without doing anything to resolve it. Her internal monologue including some variation of the line ‘normally I hate just using money as a bludgeon to get what I want, but” happens a few too many times for it to not make un less likeable than an aristocrat who owns it.

Like, this is potentially uncharitable, but the book seems to take it as read that I find the idea of demanding to speak to a manager and having them grovel and apologize for how I’ve been disrespect far more alluring than I do? Not being that customer is a subject Tesla ruminates on at some length, and at the same time calling up her high priced lawyer and threatening to bury the whole cruise line in lawsuits while they rush to provide apology gifts is definitely portrayed as this thrilling power fantasy. It all left me actively rooting against her, at least a bit.

The actual mystery itself honestly wasn’t much to write home about – a bit confused, red herring introduced blatantly and too late, the obviously suspicious and personally unlikable character was the villain – but in a similar vein it did seem…telling, that the guy who’d been positioned as the unlikable asshole oligarch in opposition to Crane was secretly a murderous gold-digging imposter all along! Also, the fact that this was proven by a photo showing the oligarch to have been a dog guy, and the imposter being quite literally the only character in the entire book who didn’t adore Tesla’s emotional support dog. Like, c’mon.

Speaking of the dog – the book had a few recurring beats which I’m sure I’m supposed to have found funny or endearing but just overstayed their welcome with me several times over. The entire cast’s brains leaking out whenever they saw Tesla’s westie like it was some sort of platonic ideal of canine cuteness was one of them, along with like, Tesla and her spouse making out at a moment’s notice because a plot point meant that their encrypted tele-chat required skin-to-skin contact, and the book doubling as a cocktail guide. All things that if I’d liked the book I could have easily overlooked, but as is were just extra straws on the proverbial camel’s back.

Anyway, yeah, didn’t work for me.

Okay sources(warning! this will be long):

The Cybertruck is equipped with security cameras that activate whenever someone comes too close to the car, which then drains the battery.

This is called "Sentry Mode" and unfortunately it won't drain the truck's battery all the way, it turns itself off when the car is below 20% power. Overall it's not that big of a downside, but it does take up enough power that it annoys the people who own them and costs them some money. This review is where I got that info, around the 2 minute mark.

And here's the user manual page on the subject which confirms the 20% thing, while also admitting that the mode does use more battery.

The cybertruck's battery will catch fire if it gets wet.

This is true of all Teslas(and possibly an issue with EVs in general?), one notably caught fire during Hurricane Helene and burned a family's house down. The footage was captured by a security camera and it prompted officials to warn owners of EVs to park their cars on high ground or far from their homes if there is a flood risk.

And this Cybertruck caught fire after hitting a fire hydrant.

They also do rust, and stain, but idk how fast that happens. Some Cybertrucks apparently come rusty already, in the first video linked up there the guy shows that the bolts around his tire rims are rusted, so I absolutely believe getting them wet will at least make them look worse.

However, Cybertrucks also apparently have a "car wash mode" as well as a "wade mode" which need to be used when getting the car wetter than you would washing it yourself or in the rain. Wade mode, which is for crossing flooded roads other cars could not, seems to do almost nothing to actually protect the car from water, this video shows that driving into water not only traps water inside the truck, but will make pieces fall off, and break some of the external buttons. As for car wash mode, the user manual says if you neglect to use it in a car wash it will damage the truck and void your warranty.

The acceleration pedal comes apart and gets stuck in the down position.

This was the subject of the first Cybertruck recall. The plastic pedal pad was allegedly too difficult to slide on, so the assembly workers used soap as lubricant, which means the pedal pad can just slide right off and get stuck under part of the floor and lock the car acceleration.

If you google "Cybertruck pedal recall" like 50 articles come up, this was a big deal.

You cannot exit the vehicle if it has lost power, and the entire thing is wired in one long interconnected line, like an old string of Christmas lights, so if one thing goes everything else does too.

As far as I'm aware this is more of a Tesla problem than a Cybertruck problem(and also has been an issue with other EVs). The model Y, according to the user manual, says there are two ways to open the door from inside. The front door has a latch by the window controls, and there is a backdoor one...only on some of them, not all come with it, and ngl looking at this diagram it is a little confusing and I can see someone struggling to figure it out in an emergency.

The user manual does say that these latches are ONLY to be used when the car has lost power, which does confirm that the doors will not open normally if the battery dies or is messed up in some way.

I can't check every single Tesla user manual to see if they all include this manual latch, but I have seen COUNTLESS videos across the internet of people showing that they can't get the doors open from the outside if the car has lost power or even if there's just frost on the doors, and just searching "stuck in tesla" on google pulls up LOADS of news stories and reddit pages of people getting stuck in them.

I can't find a source on someone getting stuck in a Cybertruck, just people getting stuck in Teslas and other EVs due to not knowing about the manual releases which are often inconspicuous or hidden, but if it's a problem with basically all EVs then it's likely an issue with the Cybertruck as well, and the Cybertruck itself it is designed extremely poorly to the point it's genuinely hard to even smash in the windows, which is crucial in the design of cars because it prevents people from dying in fires or drowning if the car ends up underwater.

I'm probably going to reference the below video a lot, but this guy has a group of grown men try as hard as the possibly can to smash in the windows or get through they door and they can't. So uh. Yikes.

As for the whole "wired in one long line" thing, I'm not going to pretend I'm an electrician, but the way it's been explained to me is that it's kinda like an old christmas light string, where if one light goes out every light after it does to. Cars aren't usually wired like this, because having one component break should only effect that component, you NEED the rest of the stuff to be on it's own connection so it can keep working. Cybertrucks don't do that, so yeah, if the speakers go it can take half the car with it. That seems to be what this article is saying:

And this reddit thread explains it a bit more plainly, and the image included, which somehow makes this sound like a good thing, does cover how it's the same long wire.

There have been several deaths already thanks to people not being able to get out of these deathtraps when they've burst into flames or reverse accelerated into bodies of water.

This claim is like...yes but also it's complicated?

The drowning victim was Angela Chao, who mistakenly reversed into a pond on her property after hanging out with friends. She was NOT in a Cybertruck, this was a regular Tesla. She was drunk, but she'd allegedly had issues with this Tesla gearshift before, so those two together landed her in the pond. She apparently made multiple calls to her friends, who told her to get out of the car, but she said she couldn't, which makes sense as the power likely was compromised and not every owner knows about the safety latch, and it's not easy to find, and I assume she wasn't in a position to be able to smash the window(which may have not worked anyway, I know the Cybertruck's windows don't shatter like they should, I don't know if the windows on regular Teslas are made differently). Her friends weren't able to get her out, and it took a while for rescue workers to get there. The windows didn't break easily, and while they did get the backdoor open they couldn't get her out of it. Eventually they got the front door broken open, but by then it was too late.

The person who died in the fire WAS in a Cybertruck, and apparently lost control on the highway for unknown reasons, smashed into a divider, and it's very likely they were killed or knocked out by the impact and thus didn't have a chance to even try to get out of it when it burst into flames.

I can't find any other stories of people dying in Cybertrucks, so yeah. They are unsafe, but idk how many people have actually been killed by them.

If you slam the doors hard enough it completely destroys the window and the internal door paneling.

Yep! Once again pulling up this video, they slam the Cybertruck doors as hard as they can and it breaks the window and fucks up the inner paneling. TO BE COMPLETELY FAIR, if you slam ANY car door hard enough you can break the window, but afaik that doesn't lead to the entire inside of the door coming off like a goddamn banana peel. They also play a clip of the same thing happening to a Tesla they did a test on. So yeah this is just 100% Tesla not having any idea how to build a car that doesn't suck. Anyway, timestamp 12:11 to see them fuck up the doors.

ANYWAY! I have hit the limit of the links I can add to this post, so we shall continue in the next rb!

I still think the single funniest thing about the cybertruck is that it has all those security cameras built in that are set to activate if anyone gets too close to the vehicle...and those cameras need electricity to run, and the cybertruck is a piece of shit that has way less battery life than you'd think, so you can legit just fuck over the owner by just standing near it and doing nothing else.

Like goddamn Elongated Muskrat found a way to let us siphon gas out of a car without even touching it. Fucking incredible.

How Tesla Stock Reacted to April 2025 China Sales Dip

Tesla Stock in 2025 Begins with China EV Slump and Global Shifts

In the days of high-speed electric vehicles, few have faster tongues than Tesla. At the start of April 2025, Tesla stock is still one of Wall Street’s hottest stocks to track. But the recent numbers out of China created a ripple of alarm. Tesla EV sales manufactured in China fell 6% from a year ago to 58,459 units, the China Passenger Car Association reported. This is the seventh month of continuous contraction in the world’s biggest EV market. Investors now question — how will this downturn affect the performance of Tesla stock?

Tesla Stock Continues Strong Performance Amidst Sales Decline

Despite the pathetic sales in China, Tesla stock was remarkably tough. Tesla shares went up by 1.3% when the numbers came out on that day, to $278.44. The way the stock reacted to this indicates more trust in Tesla’s long-term thinking and plan than short-term month-to-month variations in sales. Investors care more about future innovations and strategy turns, such as Tesla’s aim to place its full self-driving (FSD) technologies at the center of its revenue stream.

China’s Competitive Pressures: A Growing Challenge

China-made EV sales’ 6% drop is no speed bump — instead, it’s a growing sign of more competitive times to come. It’s not Tesla losing ground — instead, it’s rivals like BYD. Tesla’s toughest China rival, BYD, recorded a 19.4% jump in passenger car sales outside China last month, evidencing its increased presence in the market.

Tesla has been the luxury EV leader for a long time, but that edge is increasingly under threat from domestic players that are closing the gap on battery technology, pricing strategy, and customer acquisition at a blistering pace. This tide of rising competition poses such formidable challenges that the pattern of Tesla shares in the short run will be affected.

Tesla’s share and the Elon Musk factor

In addition to sales numbers, Tesla’s reputation is also under threat, specifically in Europe. Analysts argue that Tesla’s fall in some foreign markets is partially linked to the political ideology and unpresidential public image of CEO Elon Musk. The European market has been extremely sensitive to this, and the tide of opinion against the brand is turning.

This reputation fluctuation is something investors need to keep in mind as they review Tesla stock. Perception may be every bit as potent as performance in this day and age — especially in consumer economies such as the car business.

Tesla is not just sitting on the sidelines. One of the chief pillars of its counteroffensive is cranking up output of a more affordable Model Y to be manufactured at its Shanghai factory by 2026. An affordably priced, domestically built EV can win back market share from bargain-conscious Chinese customers.

At the same time, Tesla wants to grow in underpenetrated markets. India, a vast growth opportunity, is said to be on Tesla’s list, followed by Saudi Arabia, where demand for electric-vehicle charging infrastructure is gathering pace. These strategic efforts are designed to generate new sources of revenue and de-risk dependence on saturated markets.

The FSD Narrative Fuels Tesla Stock Optimism

One of the primary reasons investors are bullish on Tesla stock is the potential for Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability. Piper Sandler’s Alexander Potter recently noted that the long-term worth of Tesla relies heavily on FSD’s success. His model estimates a $400 price target and ultimately a $1.3 trillion market cap for Tesla, largely based on FSD-related revenues.

This software and autonomy emphasis is a transition from hardware-driven value to continuous, tech-driven revenue. It’s not just about the car anymore — it’s about the ecosystem surrounding it that Tesla is creating.

Global Sales Pressure vs. Tech Valuation Premium

While global sales numbers may be experiencing some volatility, the tech valuation premium on Tesla shares continues to hold very strong. This is partly because the company keeps moving forward and moving up the chain, from its in-house battery technology to its charging systems and AI systems.

In fact, most investors still view Tesla as a tech firm and not as an auto company. That special positioning lets Tesla stock maintain higher multiples than traditional automakers even during short-term sales contraction.

Can Tesla Get Its Growth Story Back?

China’s slowing electric vehicle sales can be a wake-up call but not an epitaph. Tesla’s history has been that of twists of fate and blockbuster movie turns. From coming back from chip shortages to gigafactory building around the globe, Tesla has consistently demonstrated its knack for reinvention.

To revive its growth story, Tesla will have to deliver on its promises: FSD launch, mass-market EV versions, geographical expansion, and consistent R&D spending. Tesla stock will mirror investor trust in these promises — and how quickly they happen.

A Stock to Keep an Eye on 2025 and Beyond

For long-term investors, Tesla stock is not just a car company — it’s the embodiment of innovation, disruption, and future mobility. Sure, short-term weights like faltering China sales can introduce volatility, but the larger narrative is appealing.

2025 will be a turning point year. With new products, new geographies, and continued emphasis on software-driven growth, Tesla is setting itself up not only to ride out this downturn, but to come back even more powerful. The stock’s resilience, even in the face of bad news, indicates that investors are still betting on the vision.

Conclusion: Tesla Stock is Still a High-Risk, High-Reward Bet

In the near term, Tesla stock will keep oscillating as investors process tales of sales volumes, geopolitical tailwinds, and competitive headwinds. Yet Tesla’s underlying narrative — on technology, autonomy, and global ambition — is very healthy.

As the company itself evolves with China’s shifting landscape, its capacity to shift and innovate will determine how the stock behaves. For those putting their wager on mobility’s future, Tesla stock is a fascinating, if unpredictable, ride to follow.

How CEOs Can Save Time by Traveling on a Private Jet

Time is the most valuable asset for CEOs. Every minute spent unproductively is a missed opportunity to drive business growth, make critical decisions, and maintain a competitive edge. One of the biggest time-draining activities for top executives is travel. While commercial flights may seem like a cost-effective option, they come with delays, long security lines, and rigid schedules that waste hours.

For high-level executives, private jets are not just a luxury—they are a strategic investment in efficiency. Let's explore how CEOs can save significant time and enhance their productivity by opting for private aviation.

The Challenges of Commercial Air Travel for CEOs

Long Security Lines and Airport Hassles

CEOs often have packed schedules, but commercial airports don’t operate on executive time. Standing in long security queues, waiting at crowded boarding gates, and dealing with baggage claim can take hours—valuable time that could be used for strategic decision-making.

Limited Flight Schedules and Layovers

Commercial airlines operate on fixed schedules, often forcing travelers to adjust their plans around available flights. CEOs may have to endure layovers and inconvenient routes, adding unnecessary hours to travel time.

Risk of Flight Delays and Cancellations

Flight delays and cancellations are unpredictable, disrupting crucial meetings and business plans. Executives can’t afford to be stranded at airports, losing both time and business opportunities.

Lack of Privacy and Work Efficiency

Working on a commercial flight comes with constant interruptions, background noise, and security concerns regarding confidential conversations. Discussing sensitive business deals in a public setting is neither safe nor efficient.

How Private Jets Help CEOs Save Time

Direct Flights to Any Destination

Unlike commercial airlines, private jets can fly directly to almost any location without unnecessary layovers. This is a game-changer for executives who need to reach multiple cities in a single day.

No Security or Boarding Delays

Private jet travelers bypass standard airport security checks, eliminating long queues. Boarding a private jet takes just minutes, not hours.

Flexible Schedules Tailored to Business Needs

Private jets operate on the CEO’s schedule. Whether it's a last-minute trip or a late-night return, executives have complete control over their flight times.

Work and Hold Meetings In-Flight

Private jets provide a quiet and fully-equipped environment for uninterrupted work. CEOs can conduct video conferences, review reports, or hold in-person meetings mid-air.

Quick Departures and Arrivals

Private jet terminals (FBOs) allow executives to drive up to the aircraft and take off within minutes. Upon landing, they can leave immediately, avoiding baggage claims and long taxi lines.

Additional Productivity Benefits of Private Jet Travel

Increased Focus and Reduced Travel Fatigue

Private jets minimize travel stress, allowing CEOs to arrive refreshed and ready for high-stakes meetings. Less exhaustion means better decision-making.

Confidential Business Discussions In-Flight

Executives can discuss mergers, acquisitions, and confidential deals without worrying about being overheard.

Seamless Multi-City Travel in a Single Day

CEOs with tight schedules can visit multiple locations in one day—something impossible with commercial flights.

Access to Remote Business Locations

Private jets can land at smaller, regional airports, getting executives closer to their destinations without additional ground travel.

Case Study: How Top CEOs Utilize Private Jets

Billionaires like Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos use private aviation to maximize their time. Companies like Tesla and Amazon justify private jet expenses by measuring the productivity gained.

Cost vs. Value: Is Private Jet Travel Worth It?

Comparing Costs with Lost Time in Commercial Travel

While private jets are costly, the value lies in time saved. A CEO’s hourly rate often outweighs the expense of private travel.

Evaluating ROI for Business Productivity

When CEOs reach meetings on time, avoid flight disruptions, and close high-value deals, the return on investment is undeniable.

Options for Chartering vs. Owning a Jet

CEOs don’t have to own a jet—chartering, jet cards, and fractional ownership make private travel more accessible.

The Future of Private Jet Travel for Executives

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Aviation Options

The private jet industry is evolving, with sustainable fuel and electric aircraft becoming viable solutions.

Technology Innovations in Private Jet Travel

AI-driven scheduling, real-time route optimizations, and supersonic jets will redefine executive travel efficiency.

Conclusion

For CEOs, time is money. Private jets eliminate unnecessary travel delays, increase productivity, and provide the flexibility executives need to stay ahead. While private aviation requires an investment, the time saved and efficiency gained make it a strategic asset for any high-level executive.

FAQs

How much time can a CEO save with a private jet?

A CEO can save anywhere from 4 to 10+ hours per trip by avoiding layovers, security lines, and commercial flight delays.

Is private jet travel only for billionaires?

No, many CEOs use chartered jets, fractional ownership, or jet memberships to reduce costs while gaining efficiency.

What are the alternatives to owning a private jet?

Executives can opt for chartering, jet cards, or fractional ownership instead of full ownership.

Can private jets access more airports than commercial airlines?

Yes, private jets can land at over 5,000 airports worldwide, compared to 500 used by commercial airlines.

How do private jets improve work-life balance for executives?

By reducing travel time, CEOs can spend more time with family while maintaining productivity.

Elon Musk (@elonmusk): "May I be candid with you? I am an outsider to the entertainment industry, and I find myself at a disadvantage when it comes to countering the strategies employed by rival film studios. I lack the expertise to navigate these complex dynamics. Would you be willing to impart your ‘Kung-Fu’ skills so that I may effectively defend my position? I would greatly appreciate it."

Angelo (POW): "I am pleased that you have reached out. I am more than willing to teach you the necessary strategies, provided you are receptive and eager to learn. Have you had the opportunity to review my recent correspondence with Margot Robbie? In that letter, I meticulously outlined the corrupt poaching tactics employed by the four dominant film studios and how these practices undermine the revenue streams of Paramount Global—the very company you are poised to acquire.

If you aspire to lead Paramount Global successfully, you must master the art of strategic combat. The key is to maintain a dominant position and never allow your competitors to intimidate or outmaneuver you."

Elon Musk (@elonmusk): "I am ready to learn. I sincerely appreciate your guidance. The entertainment industry operates under an entirely different set of rules compared to SpaceX or Tesla. It is a battlefield governed by its own intricate power structures, and if I am to prevail, I must first understand the rules of engagement and then rewrite them to my advantage."

Angelo (POW): "Precisely. Allow me to demonstrate how this game is played. Yesterday, I advised you to contact Mike and Scott—two influential Australian tech magnates, Mike Cannon-Brookes (@mcannonbrookes) and Scott Farkas (@scottfarkas). Have you reached out to them?

It is imperative that you establish communication, as they will be instrumental in safeguarding the future talent pool of actors and actresses in Australia. Your long-term strategy should involve cultivating a pipeline of new talent—actors, screenwriters, and directors—who will pledge their loyalty to Paramount Global.

Mike and Scott will assist you in building a dedicated campus in Australia, a sanctuary for nurturing emerging artists. This institution will identify and train the brightest talents, ensuring that they are refined and ready to contribute to your vision. Furthermore, it is crucial that these actors undertake language training to master the American accent, enabling them to seamlessly transition into international productions."

Elon Musk (@elonmusk): "So, in essence, this campus will serve as an incubator—a dedicated school for actors, screenwriters, and directors, all of whom will be fiercely loyal to Paramount Global. With this, I can fortify my defenses against Hollywood’s relentless talent poaching. No longer will my actors be lured away by competitors. This is a game-changer. I am the new sheriff in town, and I am acquiring this film empire on my terms."

Angelo (POW): "Precisely. This is the strategy through which you will emerge victorious. Your competitors will be forced to concede defeat because you will have secured an exclusive network of talent—individuals whom you have discovered, cultivated, and elevated to stardom. Their loyalty will not waver because they will recognize that their success is inextricably linked to your vision for Paramount Global.

If you wish to dominate the film industry, now is the time to lay the foundation. Your allies in Australia, Mike and Scott, will serve as the gatekeepers of this movement, ensuring that your actors, screenwriters, and directors remain committed to your cause and impervious to external influence."

Elon Musk (@elonmusk): "Say no more—I fully grasp the strategy. I now understand how to counteract Hollywood’s predatory tactics. I will contact Mike and Scott immediately to initiate the development of our talent campus in Australia. This institution will serve as a breeding ground for actors, screenwriters, and directors who will work exclusively for Paramount Global. Our competitors will no longer have access to this talent. This is an ingenious maneuver—an impeccable ‘Kung-Fu’ technique. My gratitude, Angelo!"

Angelo (POW): "You are most welcome, Elon!"

Automakers and tech developers testing and deploying self-driving and advanced driver-assistance features will no longer have to report as much detailed, public crash information to the federal government, according to a new framework released today by the US Department of Transportation.

The moves are a boon for makers of self-driving cars and the wider vehicle technology industry, which has complained that federal crash-reporting requirements are overly burdensome and redundant. But the new rules will limit the information available to those who watchdog and study autonomous vehicles and driver-assistance features—tech developments that are deeply entwined with public safety but which companies often shield from public view because they involve proprietary systems that companies spend billions to develop.

The government's new orders limit “one of the only sources of publicly available data that we have on incidents involving Level 2 systems,” says Sam Abuelsamid, who writes about the self-driving-vehicle industry and is the vice president of marketing at Telemetry, a Michigan research firm, referring to driver-assistance features such as Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised), General Motors’ Super Cruise, and Ford’s Blue Cruise. These incidents, he notes, are only becoming “more common.”

The new rules allow companies to shield from public view some crash details, including the automation version involved in incidents and the “narratives” around the crashes, on the grounds that such information contains “confidential business information.” Self-driving-vehicle developers, such as Waymo and Zoox, will no longer need to report crashes that include property damage less than $1,000, if the incident doesn’t involve the self-driving car crashing on its own or striking another vehicle or object. (This may nix, for example, federal public reporting on some minor fender-benders in which a Waymo is struck by another car. But companies will still have to report incidents in California, which has more stringent regulations around self-driving.)

And in a change, the makers of advanced driver-assistance features, such as Full Self-Driving, must report crashes only if they result in fatalities, hospitalizations, air bag deployments, or a strike on a "vulnerable road user,” like a pedestrian or cyclist—but no longer have to report the crash if the vehicle involved just needs to be towed.

“This does seem to close the door on a huge number of additional reports,” says William Wallace, who directs safety advocacy for Consumer Reports. “It’s a big carve-out.” The changes move in the opposite direction of what his organization has championed: federal rules that fight against a trend of "significant incident underreporting" among the makers of advanced vehicle tech.

The new DOT framework will also allow automakers to test self-driving technology with more vehicles that don’t meet all federal safety standards under a new exemption process. That process, which is currently used for foreign vehicles imported into the US but is now being expanded to domestically made ones, will include an "iterative review” that "considers the overall safety of the vehicle.” The process can be used to, for example, more quickly approve vehicles that don’t come with steering wheels, brake pedals, rearview mirrors, or other typical safety features that make less sense when cars are driven by computers.

One company in particular emerges as a winner: Elon Musk’s Tesla, which now will be able to curtail public reporting on its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) features, and may enjoy an easier road to federal safety approval for its upcoming Cybercab, a two-seat, purpose-built robotaxi that does not have a steering wheel or brakes.

“The company that probably benefits the most from that is Tesla,” Abuelsamid says. Though the Transportation Department cited safety as the number one motivator behind the new rules, “there’s nothing in these changes that actually prioritizes safety,” he says.

A spokesperson for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration did not respond to questions about Tesla. Tesla, which disbanded its press team five years ago, did not respond to a request for comment.

In a video message posted to X, DOT secretary Sean Duffy said the new automated vehicle framework aimed to increase commercial deployment of new car technology. “America is in the middle of an innovation race with China, and the stakes couldn’t be higher,” he said.

In a memo, an NHTSA official said the changes were only the first step in an effort to "improve the efficiency and effectiveness” of the process through which new vehicle tech is allowed on roads.

Vehicle industry groups applauded the changes. The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association, an organization that represents several autonomous vehicle technology companies (though, notably, not Tesla) called the DOT’s announcement a “bold and necessary step in developing a federal policy framework for autonomous vehicles.” John Bozzella, the president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, an automotive trade organization, said the announcement is “a signal that AV policy in America isn’t an afterthought anymore.”

The changes to the program are not as drastic as some safety advocates had feared. Prior to President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Reuters reported that the transition team considered scrapping all government crash-reporting requirements related to self-driving and advanced vehicle technology. Though this week’s changes curtail some of the data released and eliminate some redundancies that made the data more difficult to understand and handle, companies deploying self-driving cars are still required to report crash information to the feds.

Noah Goodall, an independent researcher who studies autonomous vehicles, says the changes may make it harder for outsiders to spot or understand patterns in self-driving vehicles’ mistakes—though also notes the public database on crashes has been difficult to work with since it was launched in 2021. “You’re getting less reporting now,” he says. “From my perspective, more data is good.”

QUANTSTAMP – An Interesting Discussion ABOUT Symbolic HOLDERS’ Privileges

The principal wave of ICO projects is starting to convey results — a promising sign that not all ICO adventures are tricks. In any case, likewise with any problematic innovation in its outset, these early improvements frequently accompany critical difficulties. Frustration can emerge when client assumptions separate from the real world, a circumstance not new to pioneers like Elon MUSK and Tesla.

Take the German-Swiss ICO ENVION, for instance. This undertaking features the contact that can happen when token holders and company investors neglect to adjust on systems to boost partner esteem. This brings up a critical issue: What privileges do token holders really have, and how would they contrast with those of investors? The response lies in a perplexing blend of brilliant agreements, white papers, and the financial backers’ underlying assumptions. On account of QUANTSTAMP, an especially interesting discussion has arisen. This organization, which raised roughly $30 million during its ICO by giving QSP tokens, set off on a mission to fabricate a stage for checking savvy contracts. Amusingly, it currently winds up entangled in conversations about the freedoms of its own symbolic holders. The Center of the Discussion QUANTSTAMP’s QSP token holders contend that the organization’s ongoing installment rehearses are subverting the worth of their venture. While QSP tokens were imagined for of installment for administrations like shrewd agreement reviews, QUANTSTAMP has additionally picked to acknowledge installments in USD and Ether (ETH). This move has started dissatisfaction among token holders, who fight that this training lessens the interest — and thus, the worth — of QSP tokens. Their contention is clear: if QUANTSTAMP somehow managed to restrict its installment choices solely to QSP tokens, interest for the tokens would increment, straightforwardly helping their worth and market cost. Alternately, by tolerating elective installment techniques, the organization and its investors benefit no matter what the cash utilized, while token holders gain provided that exchanges are directed in QSP tokens. Strangely, QUANTSTAMP’s white paper doesn’t expressly express that QSP tokens would be the sole acknowledged cash for its administrations. Nonetheless, numerous inside the token-holder local area keep up with that this was a verifiable comprehension, one they accept lines up with the first soul of the undertaking. More extensive Ramifications and Setting This discussion highlights a more extensive issue inside the ICO biological system: the frequently muddled connection between token holders and the responsible organizations. Tokens are commonly promoted as a type of utility, conceding holders admittance to specific administrations or advantages. However, they additionally as often as possible act as speculative ventures, obscuring the lines among proprietorship and utility. Not at all like customary investors, token holders frequently need formal lawful securities or an unmistakable voice in corporate navigation. The strain for QUANTSTAMP’s situation is especially critical on the grounds that it features a basic inquiry for the business: Are token holders simply clients of a stage, or do they hold a semi value stake that qualifies them for impact vital choices? This conversation likewise mirrors a common subject in the crypto space. ENVION’s case, for example, demonstrated the way that unsettled contentions between token holders and investors can prompt functional loss of motion and harm financial backer trust. Also, projects like Tezos and EOS have confronted legitimate investigation over their symbolic issuance and administration rehearses.

What Comes Straightaway? The result of QUANTSTAMP’s inside discussion could start a trend for how token-holder freedoms are characterized and upheld later on. In the event that the organization decides to focus on symbolic holders by limiting installments to QSP tokens, it might support financial backer certainty however risk distancing clients who favor more adaptable installment choices. Then again, keeping up with the ongoing approach could bring up issues about the utility and incentive of QSP tokens, possibly affecting their drawn out suitability. As the cryptographic money and blockchain enterprises mature, cases like this feature the dire requirement for more clear administrative systems and corporate administration models custom fitted to tokenized environments. These systems should adjust the interests of token holders, clients, and investors while cultivating straightforwardness and trust. Eventually, this discussion might offer significant experiences into the advancing job of token holders and their relationship with guarantors. A complex yet basic conversation will without a doubt shape the fate of decentralized money and token economies.
