You, the American people, paid for this. Taxpayer dollars were used to silence victims of sexual harassment by Members of Congress. We said we would get you names. Here they are, along with the amounts.
2007: Rodney Alexander ($15,000)
2009: Office of Carolyn McCarthy (2 cases resulting in 1 settlement) ($8,000)
2010: Eric Massa I ($85,000)
2010: Eric Massa II ($20,000)
2010: Eric Massa III ($10,000)
2010: John Conyers I ($50,000)
2014: Blake Farenthold ($84,000)
2014: John Conyers (Severance pay $27,111.75)
2017: Patrick Meehan (2 cases resulting in 1 settlement) (Severance pay $39,250)

The results of my subpoena of Congress’s sexual harassment slush fund are in. Nine members. One thousand pages. All records prior to 2004 were destroyed - which tells you everything you need to know about how long this has been buried. We are reviewing every page. We will name all nine. We will release the full 1,000 pages - once we confirm that personally identifiable information of victims and witnesses has been properly redacted. Accountability is not a threat. It is a promise.

Tomorrow I need to pick up 4 crates of material 3k lbs each.
I wonder if FSD will pull it?

People think they need physical buttons because they’re accustomed to low-automation cars with clunky, poorly designed interfaces. Try a Tesla sometime.

@amuse Great article!! The most important issue to be solved this century.

@CoffeeNGrit I’ve had my Tesla for a little over a month now. I did the math using my home charger compared to driving my Ford F1-50 and came out with almost identical numbers.
English
You see this device right here? This thing has saved me about $400 over the last 4 weeks.
I would have spent $450 filling up my truck based on the miles I drove in this time.
Instead, I used $50 worth of electricity. I always had a car ready to go in the morning. Never had to stop anywhere and charge during my normal days. I did have to charge on the road once, on a trip a couple hours away. Didn’t take any longer than a typical stop with the kids.
The convenience of this, plus the car doing all the driving is truly a game changer!

@DigitalDaisyX First choice for me would be #6, lightening from an electric vehicle. Second choice would be #1, old school look of flames.

“Hey Coach, I know your heart is in two places today. We’re so grateful you’re a Longhorn. May we catch a quick selfie with you?”
@CoachVic_UT “heck yeah, give me your phone!”
Welp, I can die happy getting a Snapped-by-Coach-Vic selfie 😭

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla I would describe this as a sad fact instead of a fun fact. I’m starting to see Starlink commercials on TV. Why are we not seeing FSD commercials?
English
Fun fact: @Tesla FSD now accounts for about 0.25% of all miles driven by humans in North America each year, and about 0.05% globally, and rising.

@JoeTegtmeyer @OverlyTrev Joe, what portable air compressor do you use?
English
@OverlyTrev I carry something like this and a portable air compressor in my car and it can patch holes like this and at least keep you going. Most of the time the tire is fine, but if you need a replacement, this allows you to do so in better circumstances.

Update and it’s not great.
Discount tire is closed on Sunday so went to a local Firestone. They said they could not patch it and refused to patch it. They said it was too close to the wall of the tire.
Really had no choice but to get a new tire, they didn’t have the OEM tires in stock so I’ll have a mismatched one which sucks, I hate that.
They gave me a little bit of a discount but had to spend $300 on a tire wasn’t on my agenda for this trip.
It is what it is.

Just woke up and see a lot of comments telling me to “just plug it yourself it’s not difficult”. Thanks for the suggestions but this is the scenario 👇 1. I don’t even have a tire plug kit with me. 2. Iv never plugged a tire. 3. Im not going to try to mess with that while we have a 10 hour+ roadtrip home. 4. Discount tire can do it for free or a local Firestone shop that is a few miles down the road can do it for $35 professionally. So no I’m not going to just do it myself. Is it something I might learn to do in the future? Yeah sure but on a Sunday at 7am when you’re trying to get home? No. I filled the tire up last night and the Good news is it’s a very slow leak. The front right tire is one with the nail.

@CyberAmped @cybertruck @Tesla Especially the rear view. The view out of my 2026 Model Y rear window is tiny. Either add it to the display like you have shown or make the rear view mirror into a display and show it there.
English
Hey @Cybertruck @Tesla, surely I’m not alone in asking for this, and I’d really love to see it in a future update. I’d like the ability to automatically view the rear or side-rear camera whenever my left or right turn signal is engaged. Given that we don’t have a digital rearview mirror in the driver’s natural line of sight, this would be a huge help for visibility and overall awareness during lane changes and turns. Ideally, the camera view would stay on for the duration of the signal and live in a consistent spot on the screen without blocking navigation or key driving info. It would also be great to give users the option to customize the layout, similar to how Model S and Model X allow display flexibility. This feels like a simple software change that could make a big impact using hardware that’s already there.

Good morning on this lovely Sunday
waiting is the new norm for 14.3
still on 14.2.2.5
last of the few standing
English
Anyone else still stuck on FSD V.14.2.2.5? Should I just switch my software update preference to standard because the advanced tab clearly doesn’t do anything.

@MikeBales This is the best thing I’ve read on X today!! 😂

If you got a free donut for taking an experimental shot in a Walmart parking lot on the advice of a computer guy with no medical degree — who once slipped antibiotics in his wife’s drink to hide the STD he caught from an underage Russian sex worker on Epstein Island — you’ve permanently forfeited the right to lecture anyone about “sources” or vaccines.

@nymbusjp As always, a fantastic article. Thanks again for the education.
