It was most likely done on purpose unfortunately.

I suppose I’ll have to be the asshole here and just say it.

It’s because you’re too poor to afford YouTube Premium.

$4k death traps more like. There’s no way you would ever get those approved in the US for sale.
You’re purposely being obtuse so I’m going to stop responding to you now.

To everyone else, hedge funds don’t give a shit about what actually happens except that they can make money on it. And if you’re curious about how salty hedge funds can get when they lose on a trade, I recommend looking up the Herbalife saga. Tesla and GameStop are still currently ongoing examples as well.

The future that is envisioned in a scenario where Tesla wins is batteries as the base load energy supply.

The push for nuclear, with the goal of becoming the base load instead, is meant to subvert and supplant that narrative.

Pretty much actually. They lost a shit ton of money shorting Tesla.

It might surprise you how much ego there is in investing.

A lot of hedge funds don’t really have the ability to find their own investing ideas so they just copy and pile on to existing trades.

Nuclear is their attempt at creating something, which I might mention is expressly opposite the vision of something that Tesla with its batteries represent.

Arxiv was a godsend.

This is what we call boomer speak. Stop wallowing in your nostalgia, and look at reality as it is.

There are many videos on YouTube. I first happened upon them after a late night of scrolling.
It’s a point to note that without Google Fiber bashing in traditional telecom, we’d still be at 10Mbps upload/download being deemed “blazing fast internet”.

Keep that in mind the next time you pay your monthly bill for AT&T/Time Warner/Comcast/Verizon. They could’ve given you gigabit speeds the entire time.
