I'll be calling out things as they come in replies to this post, but you don't have to wait for me; they just need *official* confirmation in the event.
Things that happen at the shareholder meeting count, so long as they're specifically battery related! "Delayed start" will be relative to when the livestream starts, vs. the nominal start time. Stock prices relative to the price at 1:30.
Just did some math: current Model 3s do 250kW on a ~75kW pack (3,3C charge rate). The new cells are 5x the energy density but 6x the power density. E.g..... 4C :)
">=4C charge rate"✅
Oh god... ""420" or "69" mysteriously worked into the event" ✅
They didn't say "small hatchback", but... it's what people are expecting, so:
"Small hatchback"✅
"Plaid"!!!! ✅
TSLA down >=3% ✅ :(
We've gotten pretty far in but still no second place, so I'm going to give away a few more that were iffy before:
>= 250Wh/kg (pack level) ✅
"Order[s] of magnitude" ✅
I'll give "Audience asks an idiotic question" :)✅
(Really, no second place yet?)
"Mildly joked about a "competitor" " ✅
"Entire supply chain needs to grow with us" -> ""Please mine more nickel!" (or similar wording)" ✅ (I'm being lenient ;) )
So.... any second place? :)
Either way, thanks for playing!!

Long before "meme" became an internet term meaning things like photos of a cat saying "CAN I HAS CHEEZBURGER?", it was a scientific term referring to a thought equivalent of genetics: cultural / social motifs passed down from parent to child, as well as horizontally.

An example of a meme might be a proselytizing religion, where converts will then to proselytize to others. Or a philosophy that encourages having many children, who then in turn will have many children.
Under this view, one could talk about "infection" with memes.
I'll take "Stupid Things People On Twitter Actually Believe" for 1000 rubles, Alex.
This screenshot getting widely circulated is not from a "Ukrainian government kill list", but rather the website "Миротворець" (Myrotvorets, "Peacemaker"):
A sort of "OSINT Wikileaks", Myrotvorets was created in 2014 by Roman Zaitsev, a former employee of the SBU in Luhansk oblast, based on an idea from a MoD employee, Matyuha Eduard Andriyovych, to gather intel on people believed to be working against Ukraine for law enforcement.
@elonmusk@EvaFoxU I know you mean well, Elon. But do consider that diplomacy is not simply "find the median between the stances of A and B"
A: I want B's lungs ripped out.
B: No!
C: Okay, rip out ONE of B's lungs.
Also, that public stances != actual goals, that actual goals have to be assessed.
@elonmusk@EvaFoxU War does not end when you find the median between "nominal stated goals", but when parties consider the cost to be too great to continue relative to the benefits.
Evaluating Ukraine here is fairly simple; it's a democracy and you can look at polling.
@elonmusk@EvaFoxU * MASSIVE assessed negative consequences of a loss - loss of their democracy, their freedom, their culture, their language, and the ethnic cleansing of their people.
* Great confidence in the ability and professionalism in their defenders.
Today in Reykjavík, Ukrainian refugees organized an event to thank Icelanders for their support - starting with the unveiling of a mural. The president of Iceland (guy in the black suit) took part.
І я вперше заговорила українською з українцями :)
Things then moved to Kolaportið . Right near the northern entrance they had a photography display of damage from the war. My favourite, for obvious reasons, being the one at the bottom.
On a different wall they had the winners from a childrens' art contest.
The more I look at @elonmusk's poll the other day, the more one thing bothers me. And it's surprisingly not the astoundingly naive "hold UN supervised elections brutally military-occupied no-tolerance-for-dissent ethnically-cleansed territory".
It's this:
1) It's unabashed Russian propaganda. "Khrushchev's Mistake" is wording practically straight out of Putin's mouth.
2) It wouldn't be an excuse *anyway* for brutal militant expansionism and ethnic cleansing.
3) Ukraine was *also* "historically part of Russia" since the 1700s. It *got its freedom back*. Crimeans voted for said freedom - Despite most of the native population having been ethnically cleansed. A population that was since starting to come back when Putin invaded in 2014.
