lsraelis are fleeing Tel Aviv. Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. For an entire year.

Tesla Faces Profit Slump Right After Musk’s $56 Billion Pay Package
Tesla Faces Profit Slump Right After Musk’s $56 Billion Pay Package

Less than two months after Tesla shareholders approved a $56 billion pay package for CEO Elon Musk, the company reported its second consecutive quarter of declining profits, sending the stock down 13 percent. According to Bloomberg, it has been over 365 days since Tesla last met Wall Street’s earnings expectations.

For the quarter, the electric vehicle leader posted an operating profit of about $1.6 billion, with a little more than half coming from selling cars. The rest came from emission credits. These credits are effectively all profit, as companies that don’t meet federal emission requirements can purchase credits from automakers like Tesla, which does.

The turbulence reflects a broader trend in the industry. After a big spike, growth in the American electric vehicle market has slowed to a trickle. In 2023, Motor Intelligence estimated that the industry grew by 50 percent. However, growth slowed to just 6.8% in the first half of this year. In response, General Motors postponed the opening of a new plant, while Tesla is now in the unenviable business position of selling fewer cars and slashing prices to do so. “The whole story here is about what else is to come,” an asset manager told Bloomberg.

Tesla’s inflated value (the company is roughly worth as much as Ford, GM, Stellantis, Toyota, and Volkswagen combined) has long been premised on the idea that Musk could singularly lead the team into cutting-edge technology like autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence. “If you believe Tesla will solve autonomy, you should buy Tesla stock, and all these other questions are in the noise,” Musk reiterated to investors this week.

In April 2024, Musk told investors that the company would showcase self-driving taxi technology by the end of summer. One month later, Reuters reported that the Department of Justice criminal investigation into the company centered around its self-driving technology claims—casting even more doubt on Tesla’s ability to meet the lofty objectives.

This week, Musk announced the unveiling of his autonomous robotaxi would be delayed until October.

Elon Musk said he’d eliminate bots from X. Instead, election influence campaigns are running wild

In at least two cases, X failed to take down accounts linked to influence operations when notified by researchers.

The loss of free API access and the threat of legal action has dissuaded researchers from seeking out bad actors.

Elon Musk’s public efforts to drive out bot accounts has had little effect.

Jeff ML on Instagram: "Not only have Izzy failed to make any meaningful incursion into Lebanon as they are continually repelled at the border towns, they are now the subject to daily barrages from Hezbollah as far as Haifa and Tel Aviv. Izzy's military objectives were to create a buffer zone in the North to bring back the settlers, and now dual passport holders are leaving Tel Aviv and Haifa."

Middle East Eye on Instagram: "The Israeli government approved a proposal on Sunday directing all government-funded organisations to cease communications with Haaretz and withdraw advertisements from the newspaper. The government said the decision was prompted by "many articles that have hurt the legitimacy of the state of Israel and its right to self-defence, and particularly the remarks made in London by Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken that support terrorism and call for imposing sanctions on the government". Earlier this month, Schocken faced criticism from the Israeli government following his comments referring to Palestinian "freedom fighters". The proposal, which was added to the cabinet meeting agenda at the last minute, was endorsed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In response, Haaretz released a statement on Sunday, saying: "The opportunist resolution to boycott Haaretz, which passed in today's government meeting without any legal review, is another step in Netanyahu's...

The Viral Atrocities Posted by Israeli Soldiers

"Photography has long served to trivialize the atrocities of war," writes anthropologist Sophia Goodfriend, and not just in Israel and Gaza but everywhere now that smartphones are commonplace on the battlefield. (Be advised: There are images of violence in this article.)

Tracing 75 years of Israeli war photography, an anthropologist explains how images that reframe disproportionate violence as proof of victory have intensified in the war on Gaza that erupted in 2023.

The Viral Atrocities Posted by Israeli Soldiers

Throughout the genocide, IDF soldiers have looted the homes and belongings of Palestinians. There are videos online of soldiers rummaging through boxes of clothing and jewelry in destroyed homes. In a Facebook group, an Israeli woman posted a photo of a plastic bag full of makeup, with a caption asking what she should do with the “gifts from Gaza” that her husband, an IDF soldier, brought back for her.

Eyeshadow palettes and underwear: these objects have intimate relationships with their wearers, and that’s what makes it insidiously violative to loot as a “gift” or “trophy.” This perverse practice of stealing Palestinian women’s personal objects—objects that touch a skin, a body—and treating them as “souvenirs” of conquest to gift to their wives is a form of sexual violence. The production and circulation of these images among the Israeli military is a tactic to perpetuate violence against Palestinian bodies, beyond and without physical contact.

To maintain colonial hegemony, you need consensus, not only physical domination. Israel lost the consensus it had for so long, & it knows it. This shows that decolonization isn’t only a material & physical act of resistance but also one that changes the hearts & minds of people.
