What a shapely little fukking dweeb. Imagine being the richest man in the world and yet still the least popular kid in school when social ladder climbing is most important to you in the world. Kill yourself Boer

People keep putting fake walls in front of Teslas​


Another YouTuber put Tesla vehicles through a ‘Wile E. Coyote’ wall test with mixed results.

cybertruck fake wall crash test

Umar Shakir is a news writer fond of the electric vehicle lifestyle and things that plug in via USB-C. He spent over 15 years in IT support before joining The Verge.

Someone has responded to YouTuber Mark Rober’s Tesla fake wall test with a video that also tries to address the question of whether the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) features would detect a Wile E. Coyote-style road obstruction in the real world. Creator Kyle Paul posted his video Thursday and included two Teslas with FSD: a Model Y equipped with a HW3 computer and a Cybertruck that comes with the latest HW4 / AI4 system and cameras, Not a Tesla App reports.

In the original video, Rober, an engineer who went viral after his package thief glitter bombs videos, tested whether Tesla’s camera-based Full Self-Driving (FSD) system can automatically stop before plowing through a wall painted as a road stretching into the horizon. It didn’t, people raised (many) questions, and we tried to answer a few of them.

In Paul’s video, the Tesla Model Y with confirmed FSD (in this case, version 12.5.4.2) didn’t fare better than Rober’s — he had to manually stop the vehicle before it crashed into the fake wall that, to my human eyes, doesn’t look quite as convincing. Not all is lost for Tesla, though, as Paul’s test of the Cybertruck with FSD version 13.2.8 had a better ending. It detected the wall and slowed down to a complete stop.

You can watch both videos for yourself, whether it’s to check the science or just to take note of how many people have the means to build real-world Looney Tunes ACME walls.

Tesla cameras versus the Wile E. Coyote test.

Can you trick a Tesla’s camera-based Autopilot system, which has been linked to hundreds of crashes, using simulated rain, fog? Will it barrel through a wall covered in an image of the road beyond, like Looney Tunes’ Wile E. Coyote slamming into the Road Runner’s fake tunnels? Yes you can...

Yes you can, according to Engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober’s testing. (Bonus: Rober also uses LiDAR to map Disney’s pitch-black Space Mountain coaster. )

[Legal stuff 📜] Elon Musk is suing a U.S. Representative for calling him a N * z i… but not Citadel, BlackRock, or the SEC for naked shorting and destroying companies 👌⚖️

So just to be clear... Elon’s preparing to unleash his legal team—not on Wall Street’s financial terrorists shorting companies into oblivion, or regulators asleep at the wheel—but on a U.S. Congresswoman who compared him to a certain 1940s German dictator known for terrible mustaches and worse policies.

No, really:
This is the same Elon who once posted a meme comparing Trudeau to that guy and laughed about it. But now that he’s the target? Suddenly it's lawyering-up time.

Meanwhile...


FTDs? Sky-high.
Off-exchange trading? 40-60% of daily volume.
Cellar Boxing? Confirmed since 2004.
GME float? Censored based on your IP via Yahoo/Morningstar.
Regulators? Ghosted like an ex on Valentine’s Day.
Elon? Butthurt over mean tweets.


You could literally crowdsource 1% of Elon’s net worth and hire a team of forensic accountants, market structure experts, and attorneys to obliterate Citadel’s BS in court. Instead, he’s spending time and cash because someone in Congress played the “H” card.

Let me repeat that: the richest man on the planet—who owns a rocket company, an AI company, and a whole-ass social media platform—is less interested in stopping naked shorting than in defending his ego from a historically-themed roast.

We’re out here watching companies get “cellar boxed” into oblivion. A literal 2004 post laid out the entire naked shorting blueprint:
https://archive.is/KSS6m
Spoiler: it's real, it's horrifying, and it's still happening.

Here’s the TL;DR of priorities:



Crime
Who’s Getting Sued?



Counterfeiting shares
No


Market manipulation
No


Retail theft
No


Getting called a WW2 villain
YES



This is why retail doesn't trust anyone anymore. If Elon truly wanted to be the meme lord hero of free markets, he'd shine that spotlight on market fukkery, not Twitter beefs.

So yeah, DRS your shares. Sip some tea. Watch the world burn in 4K while billionaires sue each other over insults while ignoring the actual rigged casino.

We’re not in a market. We’re in a meme war with an SEC audience.
