Biden is going to war with Tesla to help out UAW. 🧵

Why is Sandy Munro, a 50+ year veteran of Detroit, who's worked on everything from ATVs to pickup trucks to fighter jets, pissed off about the appointment of @missy_cummings as NHTSA advisor?

Something's really gone wrong:

So what's going on? Well, in short, this:

And if you think "hates Elon" is an exaggerated claim, we're talking about someone who tweets stuff like this:

Missy subscribes to the $TSLAQ block list, blocking many thousands of pro-Tesla accounts. The Tesla short seller community uses it to create an echo chamber in which they push disinformation without opposition. Cummings has not only subscribed, but contributed to that community.

The joke that is Cummings is of course not the point. It's the next step in "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win". Tesla has refused to allow famously corrupt UAW to get their claws in their factories. UAW doesn't like that one bit.

Before I dug into pandemic disinformation, I was cutting my teeth on Tesla disinformation, and honestly the patterns are shockingly similar. Corrupt "journalists", Twitter hacks, irregular "regulators" and no holds barred to force their way through.

This is what another union-pusher California legislator had to say a while back about their largest single contributor in terms of taxes:

So far, the Brandon white house has:
- Done an EV summit, inviting everyone but Tesla
- Refused to congratulate SpaceX for getting civilians in space
- Pushed for an Extra $4500 EV tax credit for unionized automakers "to level the playing field"
- Appointed Tesla haters to NHTSA

This is yet another manifestation of the auto-immune disorder that is the US govt. I am certain they will fail in their attempts to prevent the inevitable, but if they did succeed, the obvious beneficiary would not be Detroit but Beijing. Their automakers actually innovative.

And in case you're wondering why the Fremont factory workers have not been interested in unionizing, other than that they are the best paid auto workers in the US, it's because they aren't amnesiacs:

I'm sorry if this is somewhat disjointed, I needed to channel my rage that not only are we stalling life-saving self-driving technology, but we're literally trying to destroy the most dynamic US technology firm, bringing manufacturing back, and actually helping decarbonize.

If you'd like to do something about this, there's a petition which I've already signed. Not sure it will work, but worth recording your voice:

A lot more than you ever wanted to know about the walking conflict of interest that is @missy_cummings. (thanks @wuhokay)

Sandy's video is up, and he's 😡😡😡

Oh, look at that.

She first took her account private, then deactivated it, it seems.

Some questions for Missy Cummings.

Just because she deleted her worst tweets and deactivated her account, doesn't mean she hasn't accused @lexfridman of "junk science" and being "Tesla sponsored", or that she's no longer a special advisor for "safety" to NHTSA. Join over 20,000 people here: change.org/p/president-of…
