Today, posted photos & video of its Qingdao EV 'operation'.

After we called them out for having no physical presence on site last week, we had a feeling the co. would attempt to cover it up, so we had a surveillance team monitor the site this weekend... (1/x) Image
Instead of showing a roaring "MEG" sales operation, the company instead displayed its logo on 2 easily modifiable LED signs.

We visited the same spot days ago. The signs were blank and turned off with no logo. We even posted them on twitter

We also took video from inside the facility today. No signs of or MEG, no booming EV car business. We believe is trying to make this facility out to be something bigger than it is because they know that their narrative is falling apart.

Per a 3/20 press release, investors believed they had a “1 Million square foot site (that) has been renovated as a permanent EV expo center".

Today, investors see they are the operators of 2 LED signs.

We remain short.

Roblox’s CEO David Baszucki was on CNBC today calling the platform a "a beacon for safety and civility".

We found over 50 Roblox group chat walls that are active right now, with no age restrictions, where users are soliciting child sexual exploitation content or sexual favors with children (many using thinly-coded language).

The list is not exhaustive. It took us only about an hour and a half to find these and there are many more. Roblox was made aware of these issues years ago and has done nothing substantive to address them.

Here are the first 10 (the max allowed by 'X'):

Last week, it was reported that a woman was arrested after using Roblox to instruct a 10-year-old to drop a baby, almost killing it.

As with almost everything on Roblox, there's an 'experience' for it.

Here is a game that has been active on Roblox since 2021 called "baby dropping simulator", with 230,600 visits, that Roblox has deemed appropriate for users identifying as 9+ years old.

Roblox has essentially no up-front screening for its experiences.

The company claims to be an “early pioneer in enterprise AI” operating in the corporate and educational learning space.

We disagree. We suspect both $AILE's revenue and expenses are largely fake.
