Der Sternenhimmel gehört uns allen – und nicht Elon Musk und Jeff Bezos
Bislang sendet die deutsche Politik das falsche Signal: Anstatt Sternenhimmel, Wissenschaft und den Zugang zum Weltall zu schützen, fördert sie den Zugang zum Satelliteninternet, um die Löcher in der deutschen Breitbandlandschaft zu stopfen.
Lithium-Förderung: Bolivien nimmt Verhandlungen mit Deutschland wieder auf
Im Oktober 2019 hatte der damals noch amtierende Ex-Präsident, Evo Morales, das Joint Venture zwischen dem staatlichen bolivianischen Unternehmen YLB (Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos, Bolivianische Lithiumvorkommen) und ACISA (ACI Systems Alemania), einem Firmenableger von ACI Systems, gestoppt. Vorausgegangen waren Proteste von Anwohnern und lokalen Bürgerkomitees aus der Region Salar de Uyuni gegen das Projekt. Sie befürchteten erhebliche Umweltschäden wie Auswirkungen auf das Grundwasser.

Russian Indigenous groups call on Elon Musk not to buy battery metals from Nornickel
06.08.2020 Tesla is a world leader in electric cars, while Nornickel is a global leader in environmental damage. This doesn’t match, claims Aborigen Forum, a network of independent experts, activists and Russian indigenous groups who see their homeland being destroyed by pollution.
Die Privatisierung des globalen Chaos
Handelt es sich um einen Trend oder eine „neue Normalität“, um einen Ausdruck aus dem aktuellen Pandemievokabular in den Bereich der internationalen Beziehungen zu übernehmen? Es scheint so. Die Wegbereiter dieser neuen Entwicklung sind wohlhabende Oligarchen mit tödlichen politischen Absichten, die weit über Aktivitäten hinausgehen, die für Mitglieder ihrer Klasse wohl entschuldbar sind, wie zum Beispiel das Anhäufen von mehr Reichtum.
Elon Musk Confesses to Lithium Coup in Bolivia
With the agreement now scrapped along with countless other state projects, and with elections now thrice delayed by the illegitimate defacto authorities, the people of Uyuni and social movements around the country say they’ll continue to oppose the ongoing privatization and are organizing against the return of looting of Bolivia’s natural resources by ruthless and exploitative foreign capital.
Twitter accounts of Obama, Biden, Musk and others compromised
The attack is likely the largest ever on Twitter’s security system and may have already cost users ten of thousands of dollars.
The accounts – which included other tech CEO’s including Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, celebrities such as Kanye West, and other political figures like former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg – posted similar messages offering to double bitcoin payments sent to an address during a set period of time.

Streit mit Behörden: Tesla produziert wieder – trotz Verbots
Die Verhandlungen, wann und wie Tesla sein Werk in Kalifornien wieder hochfahren darf, dauerten Firmenchef Musk offenbar zu lange. Seit heute läuft die Produktion wieder – entgegen aller Corona-Verbote.
Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.
Yes, California approved, but an unelected county official illegally overrode. Also, all other auto companies in US are approved to resume. Only Tesla has been singled out. This is super messed up!
Tesla’s Elon Musk reopens factory, defying county orders and daring officials to arrest him

‚GIVE PEOPLE BACK THEIR GODDAMN FREEDOM‘: Elon Musk bashes US shelter-in-place orders as ‚fascist,‘ says they’re ‚forcibly imprisoning‘ people in their homes
„If somebody wants to stay in their house, that’s great and they should be able to,“ he said. „But to say they cannot leave their house and that they will be arrested if they do: that’s fascist. That is not democratic; this is not freedom. Give people back their goddamn freedom.“
Elon Musk’s „What the fuck“ rant on shelter in place from the Tesla conference call:
Elon Musk: „Das ist faschistisch“
Elon Musk says shelter-in-place orders during COVID-19 are ‘fascist’
“The expansion of shelter-in-place, or as we call it, forcibly imprisoning people in their homes, against all their constitutional rights, is, in my opinion, breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong, and not why people came to America and built this country,” Musk said. “What the fuck!”

Saudi Arabia Might Not Fund Elon Musk’s Take-Tesla-Private Plans After All
In August alone the entrepreneur has become the subject of an SEC investigation, made a dubious Twitter announcement about taking his company Tesla private, and gave a teary interview to the New York Times, causing Tesla shares to plummet.
Now it looks like the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, the main candidate to take Tesla private, might actually invest in a Tesla rival instead.
Update on Taking Tesla Private
(13-8.2018) I left the July 31st meeting with no question that a deal with the Saudi sovereign fund could be closed, and that it was just a matter of getting the process moving. This is why I referred to “funding secured” in the August 7th announcement.
Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund pushed to take Tesla private for two years, Elon Musk claims

In the course of just under two weeks, J.P. Morgan’s Tesla analyst Ryan Brinkman increased his price target for Tesla from $195 to $308 and then reversed course back to $195 this morning, all while keeping an underweight rating.
Look at the relief from @elonmusk on the @SpaceX livestream – you can tell how important this first #Block5 mission was to him
Elon Musk whining on Twitter but admitting SpaceX and Tesla were started with $4.9 billion in public funds that he grifted while cutting the public out of all decision-making and profit was a nice surprise. America = subsidize the rich, privatize profits
Sorry Elon Musk, there’s no clear evidence Autopilot saves lives
Tesla has also claimed that its cars have a crash rate 3.7 times lower than average, but as we’ll see there’s little reason to think that has anything to do with Autopilot.
