Good post, but Tesla's involved not only home solar technology, but industrial solar technology and industrial battery storage (Megapacks), as well as home battery storage (Power Wall):
yes, I'm aware of Tesla's other technologies. I didn't feel I needed to list all of them to make my point, which doesn't change with that additional info.
You have to mention everything, everywhere, all at once or else your comment doesn’t count.

the "he forgot Poland!" phenomenon.
Like I said, it was a good post, but your singling out "home" solar technology begged a (very) short addendum.
But I understand that the purpose of the clique here isn't accuracy. Demonization never is.
The latest markdown erases about $850 million from Musk’s $187 billion fortune, according to the index. Despite Twitter’s issues, Musk’s wealth is up more than $48 billion this year, largely due to a 63% surge in Tesla Inc.’s share price.
I wonder how much coverage this will get in major media, or whether we'll have to rely on Twitter to find out about it:

Yes, thank you for pointing this out as well. A notable feature of the very rich is they seldom face any accountability, or if they do it's of the very mildest. Musk's destruction of Twitter has resulted in the loss of thousands of jobs and the elevation and amplification of far right conspiracies and hate, but for Musk personally there's almost no material impact. It's all a lark for him, with maybe some degree of embarrassment at worst.

this is why your responses are so annoying. my comment was the opposite of "demonizing" given that I've been agreeing with you about many of the positive aspects of Tesla.
It's just I'm not naive enough to think the company isn't first and foremost about making money. If it was about saving the planet they'd be giving away their EV, home, AND industrial patents to any competitors, as well as governments around the world. And I don't see that taking place.
Again, I have no problem with Musk and Tesla making lots of money. But let's not kid ourselves into thinking their company is an altruistic endeavor.
It would be immoral to use the work on electric vehicles by Elon Musk's company, to give Elon Musk the man a pass on his encouragement of hate speech. For example, taking the side of those trying to demonize allies of LGBTQ ;people .
Elon Musk was helping to amplify the hateful attacks against GLSEN. Making excuses for it is just as bad.
"Fox News and other far-right media outlets have escalated their campaign of misinformation and deceptive inflammatory statements against GLSEN, the American education organization working to end discrimination, harassment, and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression."
"Fox News and other far-right media outlets have escalated their campaign of misinformation and deceptive inflammatory statements against GLSEN, the American education organization working to end discrimination, harassment, and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression."
so of course right-wingers response to an anti-bullying organization is to bully them.

No that it matters, but to further contextualize Twitter's evaluation loss,
Sure. The only other grammatical option sounds like a computer-generated translation, so I was skeptical, but here goes: “Demonization never is accuracy.”

Elon Musk has gone from chasing down "parody" accounts to giving them "blue checks" and saluting sexist, climate-change denying ones.
This account is quite explicit about being a parody account. Not necessary to "chase it down".
You can pretend that you never were aware that Elon's screwing up of the the verification system, to monetize it, resulted in the need for policing parody accounts. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
And I doubt you're unfamiliar with how lots of readers on the Twitter don't pick up on little details like seeing "(pa..." at the end of the name may mean it's not the real person.
I wonder how much coverage this will get in major media, or whether we'll have to rely on Twitter to find out about it:
Did Kit Klarenberg reach out to any media outlets about this, or did he only give The Grayzone the information about what happened to him?
The event is part of the public record. Has any major media reported it?
What is the "public record" of these stops? Every other report of this event is based on the original report from Klarenberg. Can you identify what that "public record" is, or did you just make it up?
The law in question is the excessive reaction to Russia's attacks on individuals in Great Britain. As it is described in the article cited below, "the British Home Office has quietly gone about making it easier to detain and interrogate travelers at its borders, with little public notice."

NUJ expresses concern over detention of journalist Kit Klarenberg
02 Jun 2023
Klarenberg was held by counter-terrorism police on 18 May and questioned about his work for news website The Grayzone.
The National Union of Journalists has expressed grave concern over the arrest of journalist Kit Klarenberg at Luton airport under counter-terrorism legislation. Klarenberg was detained by plain-clothes police officers and threatened with arrest if he failed to comply with requests for information.
The journalist who has reported for news site The Grayzone, was forced to hand over his electronic devices, memory cards, bank cards and accompanying passwords. DNA swabs and his fingerprints were taken whilst he was detained and questioned by officers about his journalistic work. It is reported he was asked about any links to Russian operatives and on his political affiliations.
Séamus Dooley, NUJ assistant general secretary, said:
“The detention of Kit Klarenberg and line of questioning pursued by officers is of huge concern to the NUJ. Journalists have the right to protect sources and the seizure of Kit’s personal material in this manner under counter terrorism law, leaves many questions unanswered.
"The apparent targeting of a journalist risks creating a chilling effect on others reporting on stories in the public interest and many will be aware that it follows the recent arrest of publisher Ernest M, also under counter-terrorism legislation by British police in April. Journalists will no doubt be astounded by actions of the police and rightly expect information on reasons behind Kit's detention."
