Not to mention the problems it has even if they hadn't gotten the name wrong:
1) Profits and losses in investments use the time of purchase (or borrowing in the case of shorts) as the baseline;
2) Profits and losses are only realized when the investor closes out his or her position.
The former matters because the headline only concerned itself with a single day, while very few - if any - investors would have borrowed the shares that morning, so using that price as a baseline is misleading. The latter matters because very few people closed out their short position on that specific day at that specific price. Taken together, it's reasonable to assume that the article cherry picked a time frame to distort what is actually happening with the company and its stock.
Global sales is what matters given that Tesla competes in a global market. US sales are only useful if you want to make Tesla look like it has more market share than it actually does.
Everything you posted is misleading. Net Neutrality was the de facto law of the land until Verizon and Comcast started throttling Netflix traffic in 2014. That led to the FCC, acting in accordance with the Telecom Act of 1934, to implement regulations making Net Neutrality the de jure law of the land. Everything you have posted here is FUD.
While many in our society live by the mantra "surround yourself with brilliance" in order to be a most effective leader...
That is something which requires the ability to put aside one's ego for the greater good. People who can't do that are insecure, and tend to surround themselves with people who they aren't threatened by, and who are by extension unlikely to be competent, let alone brilliant.
Nintendo self-censored the SNES version and lost millions, while Sega raked in the cash.
On the other hand, Sega is no longer in the game console market, whereas Nintendo's brand as a kid-friendly platform has helped them maintain their position as one of the main players in that market.
I far and away prefer the uncensored version of the game, but I can definitely see why a company would decide to exercise a degree of control over what they allow on their plaform.
And they are nominated by someone who is elected. I suspect that you know that, and are arguing in bad faith. But in case you aren't, the point is that the people we elect can choose to nominate people who have the interests of the country and its people at heart, or they can nominate the kind of people that Trump has nominated (Mattis excluded).
That's not a wealth transfer. A wealth transfer is when you collect taxes from one state and spend the funds in another state. California receives less in government spending than it contributes to federal revenue. That is a transfer out, no matter how you cut it.
EULAs as a foundation of privacy controls are utterly hostile to the very concept of an app ecosystem.
Not to mention the very concept of privacy controls. The may as well put them in the back of the bottom drawer of a locked file cabinet in a disused bathroom with a sign on the door saying "beware of leopards" in an unlit basement with no stairs.
Sure, the KKK was founded by conservative southern white democrats. But those conservative southern whites aren't Democrats anymore, and haven't been for decades.
Totalitarianism exists across the political left-right axis. You're begging the question by defining it as solely a left-wing phenomenon, when the reality is there are oppressive right wing regimes (Nazi Germany is the archetypical example despite your idiot protestations otherwise) and oppressive left wing regimes (the USSR would be the archetype).
Lots of countries have high rates of obesity. The UK, Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Libya, Egypt, Bahrain... all are pretty similar to US in terms of obesity rate. Yet the US is the only one where life expectancy decreased. There's more going on than can be explained just by lifestyle.

I'd think Tesla is 3rd at best in self driving (behind alphabet and Chevy).
As gets pointed out every time Autopilot crashes into something a human would easily avoid, Tesla doesn't have self-driving vehicles.

Man, you really are sensitive. Just providing some context to the crazy you're putting out there.

If he wants a job lobbying for them, he will.
Just for the record, access to the internet more than doubled from December 2008 to December 2016.

The market has no way to stop mergers that eliminate competition. Government intervention is literally the only way to do it.

Yet California has one of the largest state debts? Why is that?
Because they have the largest economy in the country, and therefore can afford to service a higher debt than any other state?

Except for that whole socialized medicine thing.
That was von Bismarck, not Hitler.
I'm pretty sure that Hitler never expunged what we'd consider to be Socialist views.
Socialists absolutely were "expunged" by the nazis. They were #2 on the list to be liquidated, after Jews.
I suppose you were probably trying to type "espoused", though.

White nationalists (which is what the people being called nazis are) are more dangerous to Americans than all muslim extremists combined.
There, there. It'll be okay.

Guess again - the US is #19 in obesity rate. None of the nations above us have decreasing life expectancy.
Good one!
