@ReneeVoiceBrand Technically, Tesla is a separate entity so there's no conflict of interest. In reality, yeah it certainly looks like Elon has a pet judge.
While typically associated with Mazda, the first production car with a Wankel engine was the Bertone designed NSU Spider, produced from 1963-67. In 1969, NSU was acquired by VW to form Audi NSU Auto Union AG, now simply Audi.
@CinnamonGirlE. I'm wondering what does "otherwise possessing the qualifications" mean?
Elon Musk changes X terms to steer lawsuits to his favorite Texas court
X terms specify Northern District, where Judge Reed O'Connor is a Tesla investor.
Elon Musk's X updated its terms of service to steer user lawsuits to US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the same court where a judge who bought Tesla stock is overseeing an X lawsuit against the nonprofit Media Matters for America.

Trumpโs Charity Toward None
...[Cardinal] Dolan suffused the impious Trump in the pious glow of Catholic charities. Dolan looked on with a doting expression as Trump made his usual degrading, scatological comments about his foils, this time cloaked as humor.
...
Instead of telling Trump he was over the line, Dolan enabled him in his blasphemous effort to cast his campaign as a quasi-religious crusade and himself as a saintly martyr saved by God.
@Lulz4l1f3 He's probably just repeating the nonsense he learned in school, unfortunately.

@MPCavalier Did he do that weird dance where he moves his arms but his feet remain planted?
@preclude Fortunately, Tim Kaine enjoys a double digit lead over Cao.
@nonayadambidnes They'll probably strike out with the robots, too.

Tesla self-driving system to be investigated by the National Highway Transportation Safety Agency (gift article) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/business/tesla-self-driving-investigation.html
This is a fascinating poll
Looks like Republicans reject any reality on the economy and instead rely on "Vibes" on how well it is doing.
The actual economy, stupids, is doing great by almost every metric!

@Jeber It's been going on forever. People lie about their service. Some give themselved medals they were never awarded. Sheehy was a Navy Seal. He didn't need to exagerate his service.
@Jeber He's got some cockamamie story about why he said he shot himself, but was actually wounded in Afghanistan. Problem is there is no record of him being wounded in Afghanistan.
A Candidate for U.S. Senate Says He Was Shot in War. Was He?
...
On the issue of the later injury in Montana, Kim Peach, a park ranger who spoke with Mr. [Tim] Sheehy [R] that day at the hospital, said Mr. Sheehy personally told him that he had accidentally shot himself in the arm, and handed over a revolver with a spent round.
โI am 100 percent sure he shot himself that day,โ Mr. Peach said in an interview.
