Is that Paul F. Tompkins?!

Yes

I love that man so much.

I still think Paul F Tompkins would be the perfect person to play a parody of oscar Weber.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

Lord if this is true tesla might be uber mumped

https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/tesla-odometers-could-be-overestimating-mileage-by-as-much-as-117-lawsuit/ar-AA1CZ2wq?ocid=winp2fptaskbarent&cvid=fa6ee2a215474db984df600afb4f87a9&ei=12
They'll probably be fine but that mileage things sounds exactly like something Tesla would do

IDK it keeps adding up on them, and ofc it's them. Just as autopilot disengages once it knows it's about to crash to keep itself from being liable. They'll keep surviving but they are probably not going to be a car company for much longer.

Semi-serious. How, from a car point, or general company.

Oh, I imagine there'll be big bailouts for farmers/business losses due to tariffs

I don't think they will be, or rather their focus to be, that in 5+ years. You can see them pivoting to AI/Battery/Rideshare. They have no new models coming out, only refreshes, Sales are dropping (Elon inflicted but also a decaying inertia). So to me, "to big to fail" if you're talking about a car company, nah, they're pipsqueaks.

If Elon truly thinks/says what they are, a technology company. Automation/AI/rideshare is what he is thinking. If they are successful, and I have my doubts and reservations. Then you could say they are too big to fail. But that is solely IMO what their "market cap" is based on. Not the paltry amount of cars they produce. Which is my point to Mich's (to me) absurd take of being "too big to fail" IMO.

The CFPB was established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, an expansive piece of legislation that imposed consequential regulatory reform in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

it claims to be responsible for $19.7 billion in consumer relief since its inception, as well as $5 billion in civil penalties
