Apparently there's someone else who's having an executive office "nervous breakdown." theguardian.com/technology/201…
Tesla shares crashed 6% on Friday as two of its senior executives quit, just hours after Elon Musk sparked concern by smoking marijuana on a live web show. Tesla's head of accounting, Dave Morton, and head of human resources, Gaby Toledano, said they were leaving the company.
US Air Force has begun looking into Musk apparently smoking weed on a podcast, a source at the military branch told @CNBC on 8 SEP. Musk's SpaceX provides services for the USAF, with multiple high-value contracts. Marijuana use is prohibited for ppl with govt security clearances.

1) All about timing.

2) If you drink the coffee fast, it's good because it's good and hot.
Wait a few minutes and it's cold, or worse, bitter.

MUNRO THREAD 1/ If anyone can buy Sandy Munro's #Tesla #Model3 teardown report, why is his ability to do press limited by a contract from an unnamed corporation (as reported by @lorakolodny)?

leandesign.com/pdf/Tesla-3-An…
MUNRO THREAD 2/ Who is the unnamed corporation muzzling Munro? The PDF linked above offers some possibilities: BMW and GM.

The report includes side-by-side analyses of the Model 3 with the BMW i3 and Chevy Bolt.

Might these companies fear head-to-head comparisons with Model 3?
MUNRO THREAD 3/ Another possibility is Siemens. They partnered with Munro to measure noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) and body-in-white (BIW) performance. Though I can't see why Siemens would care if Munro talked to the press.

@juliacarriew why haven't you or anyone else attempting to cover the #qanon movement asked any anons or Q followers why they are involved? Why not interview someone?

What is QAnon? Explaining the bizarre rightwing conspiracy theory theguardian.com/technology/201…
This anon gets it!This @juliacarriew is why we are here! We are NOT a cult. We are NOT a religious group. We are NOT even right wing. We are a group of Americans concerned with the corruption within our country. As a journalist, spend time reading some research we’ve put together
Journalism is dead.

Enter: Anons.

We have basically done YOUR job for you.
You all failed, leaving open this vast hole that Americans needed filled with honesty and truth.

It’s sad how many “journalist” are on the wrong side of history here.

Too bad.

Tesla called the Center for Investigative Reporting an "extremist organization" for reporting on its safety record at the Fremont factory technologyreview.com/s/610889/tesla…
By my count, this is the third major investigation into Tesla's working conditions. All of them have found serious problems. Here's mine, from May 2017. theguardian.com/technology/201…
And here's Buzzfeed's from February of this year. Are we all part of a "calculated disinformation campaign against Tesla"? Or are a lot of people getting hurt building Elon's cars? buzzfeed.com/carolineodonov…

The hearing is now officially starting, with opening remarks from the ranking members of both committees (Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee).
In her opening remarks, Sen. Feinstein mentions last night's news that Cambridge Analytica had access to Facebook users' private direct messages.
I hope someone asks Zuckerberg how Facebook can claim they didn't know Cambridge Analytica was still using data they harvested, given that FB sent employees to "embed" w/ the Trump campaign's digital team — so FB employees were working in the same office as Cambridge Analytica.
