Sad trombone for the world's richest shithead. From the WSJ:
"Tesla shares fell 15% on Thursday—erasing $215 billion of market value—after the electric-vehicle maker missed earnings targets and had negative cash flow for the first time in two years. It was part of a wider stock selloff amid fears that big tech companies are overspending on artificial intelligence.
On an earnings call, Musk walked back earlier guidance on the rollout of Tesla’s Robotaxi ride-hailing service, Optimus humanoid robots and an electric semi truck that has been in development for years."
"Shares of SpaceX, which went public at $135 and traded above $225 in the days after its debut, are down nearly 50% from those highs. The stock broke below its initial-public-offering price within weeks and has lost more than $1 trillion in value from its peak."

After a mind-expanding first #emfcamp I have birthed into the Fediverse, confused and wondering how many social media channels is Too Many, but with a brain full of techno-FOMO, hoping this is the one where my tribe are at.
If you saw me in the field, I was the one with the carrots and / or the synthesizers.
Hello! Let's be friends!
The other radio show I did for BornHack Radio was a magazine show. If you want to get a flavour of the camp I hope you find it interesting.

@films @gsuberland 100% true
On his return from #emfcamp @bencc presented me with an extremely useful token of his affection. I have applied it to enhance my sewing safety, as is appropriate.
I’m also planning maybe buying more from @gsuberland’s etsy shop. For safety reasons.
Tower of Hanoi but make it an endurance art piece! Level 14, 16383 moves and no mistakes, 5hrs and 5mins... I believe this is the world record :)
#emf2026 was the perfect place to do it!
I co-proposed/wrote the #Codeberg vibe-coding ban and all I got was a lot of haters in my mentions.
And a nearly 70% approval rate, with one of the highest voter turnouts the association had afaik (and one that's comparable to the last EU elections). 😎
So what happens next?
- will the lawsuit be dropped?
- will ‘national security’ mean that the records suddenly become unavailable?
- will everything go quiet on the Trump front while he hopes it all goes away?
- will the judge be seized by ICE and deported? After all she doesn't sound like an Amercian from Florida.
Aaand I put a dowel in a screw hole and broke it off.
I'm gonna grab a bite and then talk to support. Luckily I can still build one of the frames. Hooray for modularity!
Duckling Season has started a little early and we have the first batch of Australian Wood Duck ducklings at work.
Five fuzzballs wandering around chomping grass like there was no tomorrow.
