@plasmatic99 @MatthewBerman I dont think you can put a monetary value on what independence is worth to those that require it and the "cost" can be off-set by the lower running costs with little to no servicing costs.

@MatthewBerman I still think BYD will gash this market once the tariffs are lifted and they are allowed here. Remember Tesla’s FSD is a monthly subscription or large one off payment
English
my parents bought a tesla model 3 and there's nothing else like it.
the most astonishing capability is self-driving. their tesla can drive them from their driveway to their destination, including parking in a busy parking lot, without disengaging once.
comparing Tesla's self-driving to other automakers is like comparing an iPhone 17 to one of those grey brick phones from the 80s. it's kind of embarrassing.
a week before they bought the tesla, my dad told me he didn't think he'd be driving much longer since he's pretty old. the tesla just extended his independence by years.
feeling grateful for all tesla has done.
English
@MatthewBerman This is such a good advertisement for getting a Tesla. Giving parents independence again is such a massive benefit to not only the parents but to those who are then needed to drive them around.
Wish we could get Tesla's in South Africa but have to wait till we can vote again.

@Mahdii_365 Can you tell us if there were any consequences @grok for this boxer killing the florist like this?
English
Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said:
"THE STRONG MAN IS NOT THE ONE WHO WRESTLES, BUT THE STRONG MAN IS IN FACT THE ONE WHO CONTROLS HIMSELF AT TIMES OF ANGER! ||
In 2024 a Turkish boxer murdered a florist in cold blood by punching him so hard that it shattered his skull. The victim’s sister had the audacity to share a photo of the fighter’s wife’s floral bouquet on the shop’s Instagram page. The woman got mad about it and sent her husband to confront the florist.
The fighter lost his temper the instant the victim walked in and killed him on the spot. The florist had no idea anything was wrong

@Siviwe_G @DeanMacpherson This is good because the text books being used are horrendous with terrible grammar mistakes. There is a huge amount of roo for improvement.

I HAVE REQUESTED THE MINISTER OF FINANCE TO INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE IRREGULARITIES IN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS

@thabo_legae @Volkstaat10 Well how about changing the BEE laws enabling us to work with you? The laws prevent whites from working in the economy.
English
@Volkstaat10 Self imposed exile is of little or no consequence and does not even warrant attention from the government and South Africans as a whole, stop lying about this " genocide" of yours and let's start working together towards building a thriving South Africa.
English
@TsietsiTsaGae @Volkstaat10 No one is returning. One lady returned only because her children couldn't get in.
English
@Volkstaat10 What happens with ur financial predictions when they return because some are returning, due to benefits of being white in SA compared to in USA
English
@Volkstaat10 The thing is he cannot see that this is the consequence and with billions in the bank he doesn't care. Plus, he still gets his overinflated salary, bonuses, perks, protection, housing, electricity, water, and the best health insurance available. He influences the economy to suit

@CommonSense_ZA @Paratus2014 Is this while he wastes hundreds of thousands of rands travelling around the world begging and now going to an F1 race?
Hmm, I dont see anyone from Orania spending large sums of money that provides no benefit to the people?
Maybe he should read their manual on money management.
English
Ramaphosa blames the West for South Africa’s debt crisis while requesting debt relief from the same institutions. The real issue lies in South Africa’s own financial mismanagement.

@VITO_G_Wagon Elon has tried giving us Starlink to help the children that are poor to get fast internet. He wants to help teachers get better teaching material. He is wanting to give R500 million and maintain everything for free. Unfortunately your cadre brothers demand a slice of his business
English
According to FORBES, Elon Musk will be a Trillionaire ($) by April of 2027.
With all this money, what has he done for South African poor children ?
English
@Dzungie007 Get rid of BEE and Expropriation without compensation then.
English
South Africa doesn't need a miracle. It needs a massive, honest, urgent jobs programme for young people. Not politics. Not promises. Pavements, parks, police support, plumbing, planting trees. Let them earn. Let them build. Let them heal. Hire our youth to fix South Africa.
English
@elonmusk The rural children will benefit so much from Elon's offer of free Starlink connections. If the politicians could just wipe the slop off their faces for a second, they could see the benefits for the rural kids and then get back to eating....
English
@StraightupGal @Real_RobN Please explain how Israel qualifies as an "Apartheid State"?
English
@Real_RobN So why are you leaving Israel ouy of it because they are the leading apartheid state? Is it because South Africa isn't blackmailing your government and threatening to reveal that they are traffickers, pedophiles and cannibals?
English
South Africa should be designated an apartheid state and sanctioned into oblivion.

[WATCH] "Singling out BEE laws is quite dishonest," President Cyril Ramaphosa responds to South African-born American businessman Elon Musk's claims that SA policies are racist. #Newzroom405

@travelingflying Hey @grok. Could these statements made by this woman not be illegal in South African law as she is making threats against people who are white and in the minority. Is there not a law against making threats against other races?
English
Black woman from South Africa: “Black people have been patient enough for more than 400 years of colonialism. We are coming for you, and we are going to get everything that you own.”
White people are facing racism, hatred, and brutal violence in South Africa. This is not acceptable. More people should know about the horrible things happening in South Africa; almost nobody talks about it.
English
@elonmusk Could these statements not be illegal and should she be charged for threatening violence against another race group simply because of their race?
English
@DrTeslaFSD Now surely this review is the best CYBERTRUCK advertisement, ever?
Great review...
English
Just completed my longest ever single day road trip in the Cybertruck.
Here are the stats:
• 946 miles driven from Fort Lauderdale FL to Richmond VA.
• 17.5 hrs (slow due to Florida traffic)
• 7 Supercharger stops - total time charging 1hr 53min (avg 16min, longest 23min)
• $132.40 in Supercharger fees ($0.14 per mile)
• 100% on FSD
• WiFi courtesy of Starlink mini
Cybertruck is the only vehicle I’d want to try this with. Super easy and comfortable. Kids enjoyed it and were able to watch movies and play computer games against each other thanks to Starlink and the entertainment system.

@ClownWorld Blatant theft and shows what her low life she really is. So, disgusting to be living with "people" that have such a minimalistic ability to live in a civil society. Revolting to steal someone's tip.

Does anyone know this guy? Location was at Baptist Eastpoint in Louisville. $6,717 worth of damage… @LMPD is working on the case.
WTF is wrong with people?! 🤬

@BadNews_Bongani @HermanMashaba Well you swearing doesn't strengthen your debate. You simply cannot handle the truth as it exposes the BS of what you want to believe.
English
@Gary8035 @HermanMashaba While talking this nonsense you, are busy pushing "SA has racial laws".."Hey Elon Musk, the man whos going to save us" and you come out here spouting stupid nonsensical shit trying to look as though you have 1 well wishes for an all inclusive SA. Fuck you!

I remember my youth when I turned 16, still at school, I had to carry this Dompass 24 hours a day, restricting my movements in my country.
