Simon Betschinger asked for understanding for people who mocked Elon Musk because of his flying Tesla Roadster. He wrote that there had been skepticism towards new inventions in the past. On July 3, 1886, Carl Benz publicly presented his three-wheeled motor vehicle for the first time in Mannheim. The German Patent and Trademark Office described the reactions to the first drives as disappointing. Despite reports in the local press, the hoped-for response was missing. Many people considered the vehicle to be impractical; the German UNESCO Commission also confirmed that the invention had initially been ridiculed. #Innovation #Geschichte #Technologie (translated)

AZ247.cz reported that MP Filip Turek collided in the air with a rescue helicopter while testing a new Tesla Roadster with rocket thrusters in Prague when he tried to jump over a convoy.

The entire article was supposedly meant to be in the commentary, according to the author. https://t.co/P7uZG90xc8 #Tesla #Praha #zprávy (translated)

Simon Betschinger wrote to Karl Lauterbach and Elon Musk, Professor Lauterbach is trying to explain to the German petty bourgeoisie that Tesla is not a threat to Volkswagen. Betschinger described this as an expression of German envy and loss of reality. #Tesla #Volkswagen #Deutschland (translated)

Simon Betschinger accused Professor Karl Lauterbach of wanting to explain to the German petty bourgeoisie that Tesla poses no threat to Volkswagen. As a counterargument, Betschinger pointed out that the world's best-selling electric car in 2025 was the Tesla Model Y, with around 1,085,521 units sold. He described the situation as grotesque and wrote that the German industry had been left behind because the state had created bureaucratic structures that stifled entrepreneurship. He also mentioned German envy and a loss of touch with reality. #Tesla #Volkswagen #Deutschland (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca wrote that Tesla and SpaceX stocks fell after a measure against Ukraine was announced, despite the success that, according to him, Elon Musk's flying car presentation had. He suggested that the declines could also be due to other events. According to Montes de Oca, the Italian government halted negotiations to contract Starlink services for $1.63 billion, amidst the controversy over the reliability of the service and repeated threats and incidents of signal cuts in Ukraine. He also noted that Germany had accelerated the development of its own constellation of sovereign military satellites. He added that Valérie Hayer, president of Renew Europe, and Andrius Kubilius, EU defense commissioner, had advocated for the urgent need for a European alternative to Starlink. The author stated that Democratic and Republican senators had sent a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general demanding an urgent investigation into the restrictions imposed on the network. He said this could affect SpaceX's contracts with the U.S. government, which he estimated at $29.68 billion. Of that total, he indicated, $8.05 billion corresponded to new military contracts awarded and based on Starshield, the company's military division. Montes de Oca maintained that Musk's accusations against Donald Trump and Trump's response— where he denied being responsible and also said he didn't believe Musk was responsible— had harmed the conglomerate's reputation. He attributed the drop in SpaceX's stocks to a loss of $28.6 billion for Musk. He also estimated that Tesla's decline between October 13 and 16, 2026, had reduced its market capitalization by between $35 billion and $38 billion. To those losses, he added the revenues that, in his opinion, could cease to be obtained from the Italian contract and agreements with other countries interested in the system. Finally, he noted that it remained to be seen whether Musk would maintain a strategy that, as he wrote, imitated Trump's aggressive stance towards Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky, or if investor pressure would lead him to change his decision. He also stated that support for Vladimir Putin had a high and self-destructive cost. #Tesla #SpaceX #Ucrania (translated)

EFIEBER asked Karl Lauterbach if he was aware of Tesla's plans for the Grünheide site. According to the author, the US company planned an additional production hall there with around 536,000 m², an annual production of up to 1 million vehicles, and 3,500 additional jobs. EFIEBER wrote that Tesla's investments could benefit employees, suppliers, craft businesses, the local economy, as well as indirectly daycare centers, schools, and infrastructure. He described remarks from a German politician as completely out of place and stated that Tesla had long been part of the German automotive industry; the Model Y is produced in Germany. #Tesla #Deutschland #Automobilindustrie (translated)
