Same thing as with SpaceX. If there is that much of an equity buffer, it should be investment grade. That it isn't means that the bond market doesn't trust the valuations at all.

Yeah, it's special cased for US users. It is also not robust. People are having fun circumventing the censoring by asking it to answer like a cat or something.

It behaves different for US users compared to users outside of it.

If you ask DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square inside China is that also just a bug?

This only works if you are the only one selling the machined aspirin. Or you build a cartel of apirin sellers to do some price fixing.

Maybe they did it like SpaceX and sold their compute to a competitor and are booking that as sales.

Some like Sam Altman cancelled it. So seems cancellable at least. But yeah, free loan.

You could first reserve the roadster in 2017. So in about 10 years, they'll "reveal" the next version.

If you are not paid to work on it you can just ignore those.

If it is a self-driving car then it can do recursive self-improvement. Then we are either post-scarcity or it kills us all. Either way it wouldn't make sense to worry about employment.

If you have to defend it yourself why pay taxes? Why not use the money to hire your private army instead?

There has been a (unfortunately recent) shift in the view towards China in the EU. So the US and EU would be natural allies when it comes to dealing with Chinas export led growth strategy. The Huawei thing was before Russia where everyone was still a bit more optimistic.

China depends on market access for its growth. So the US & EU have a pretty big lever, they'd just have to use it and not chicken out when it hurts a bit.

They are not allowed to do this in the country I live in.

Well, it would not be an easy answer. Currently China is openly "it is in our interest this continues". So US & EU could coordinate to make it in Chinas interest that this does not continue (problem: rare earths, so maximum effort to fix that first). Once China is aligned totally isolate Russia.

The drones themselves build a mesh network during an attack. Russia does this as well.

I would also guess it is not that hard to setup a base station? With Operation Spiderweb they were able to start the drones from enemy territory...

I don't doubt it's healthy, perhaps via reducing insulin spikes. But the question is if it is the cause of the mysterious increase in colorectal cancer.
