On December 24 Tesla's shares went up by 7%. On December 17 they went down by 8%. Movement like this happens all the time, will we get headlines for each one? Overall, Tesla's stock price is still up 50% over the past year. I wouldn't consider this to be all that significant a drop yet. Let's see what happens with their upcoming product releases.

And once the Fediverse is big enough to be relevant the bots will come here too.
Right, and people who hate Trump also need those sweet points with their base and so they'll accuse Trump of delaying even though Trump isn't president yet. And won't be in charge of everyone investigating this even when he is, Nevada's senate and house are both Democrat-controlled and I'm sure there's some state-level investigation going on here.
It's going to be a long four years, let's try not to make literally everything a pro-Trump or anti-Trump talking point. There are actual facts that can be talked about instead.
Joke's on you, I have a dishwasher machine! Robots do my dishes for me too! It is you who is the dumb one, having to labor manually as you do!
Ah, there we go. Thanks.
Are you suggesting that investigating a potential car bombing as terrorism is a case of "stretching the definition too far"?
It's being investigated. They didn't take one look at the fireworks and go "yup, terrorism."
Someone loaded up a Cybertruck with explosives and flammable materials and then it blew up in front of a Trump-branded building. Not investigating whether it was an attempt at terrorism would be far more eyebrow-raising.
People going "yup, that confirms my existing preconceptions" doesn't say much. Regular cars catch fire too, it just doesn't make headlines every time one of them does.
It's already well known that the Cybertruck that exploded in Las Vegas was loaded with fireworks and cans of camp fuel. Whether it was "terrorism" or not is still an open question (and it's such a wildly overused term these days that it'll likely be a useless answer) but I think blaming it on the battery is likely jumping to a poor conclusion.
There has been a steady stream of "Cybertruck sucks!" Articles and comments being posted since Cybertruck was revealed, so it's actually not all that interesting IMO. Blow up a Cybertruck at any time and there'll likely be some other "Cybertruck sucks!" Thing going on at the simultaneously.
Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis have had electric car recalls over the past couple of years too, I haven't seen a peep about those.
Huh. Based on the community this was posted in, I can assume that the answer the video comes to is "yes" and not watch it. But according to Betteridge's law of headlines the answer is "no." I need to argue about this without watching it but I don't know what stance to argue about.
Ah! I'll use the Orbit plugin to get an AI to summarize the video for me. Hm. The AI-generated summary says the video describes an anecdote about music copyright violations, talks about some ethical considerations about both music and software piracy, and then:
The speaker concludes by acknowledging the complexity of the issue and the importance of considering the perspectives of all parties involved.
So I guess the answer was "Maybe?" How am I supposed to have a pointless Internet argument about "Maybe?"
Bah. Someone attack me for using AI, at least that's a debate I can sink my teeth into.
Find some way to use it to blame in the Great American Political Tribal War, I guess. As with every single other piece of information that is going to come out about anything in the next four years. Or longer.
As evidenced by the only other two comments in this thread, which are going on about whether Cybertrucks are safe and if Elon Musk is stupid.
At this point I feel like opposition to Israel's activities might be more effectively directed at the foreign governments that are enabling it. Israel's going to oppress the Palestinians no matter what, but perhaps if they had a less reliable supply of bombs they'd take greater care in doing so and wouldn't be so bellicose with their neighbors.
