#tesla is absolutely screwed.
Their stock was at about 268 at closing last night.
In less than 24 hours it has dropped to 239 or so last I checked right before writing this at 2:53.
29 dollars in a day is MASSIVE. Most companies aren't valued at 29 a stock.
Also the EU is likely fining X a BILLION for #disinformation laws.
CEOs are also losing billions in #tech as the market crashes, like #jeffbezos.
#elonmusk must be sweating.
#Amazon’s bid highlights the 11th-hour maneuvering in Washington over #TikTok’s ownership. Policymakers in both parties have expressed deep #NationalSecurity concerns over the app’s Chinese ownership, & passed a #law last year to force a sale of TikTok that was set to take effect in Jan.
#Amazon has put in a last-minute bid to acquire all of #TikTok, …as it approaches an April deadline to be separated from its Chinese owner or face a ban in the #UnitedStates….
Various parties who have been involved in the talks do not appear to be taking Amazon’s bid seriously, the people said. The bid came via an offer letter addressed to Vice President #JDVance & #HowardLutnick, the #commerce secy….

Does Jeff Bezos support snatching immigrants who are here lawfully and deporting them to El Salvador? Or snatching Russian dissidents and returning them to Russia?
Asking for Lauren Sanchez...
“Is legacy media dead?” asks @parkermolloy for @damemagazine. She looks at how, with newspaper owners interfering in the work of their reporters, independent media sources are the ones holding power to account. “What independent journalism offers that legacy media increasingly doesn’t is transparency about where it’s coming from. There’s no pretense of objectivity that masks institutional biases and billionaire influence,” she writes. “Readers know what they’re getting, which paradoxically can build more trust than false neutrality.”

While it’s difficult to avoid the asshats* (and “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” notwithstanding), given Amazon Ireland has launched this week, just remember that every euro you pay them goes toward fucking billionaire Jeff Bezos who is helping Trump dismantle democracy in the US and elsewhere. So please do your best to shop locally – or with smaller EU shops – and avoid Amazon as much as you can.
* I really need to get the media for my Mastodon server off of AWS. Another bloody hassle I don’t need right now. *smdh*
Stay the course! NO AMAZON, MARCH 7 THROUGH 14, 2025!
Columnist Ruth Marcus has quit the Washington Post, saying publisher Will Lewis killed an op-ed critical of Jeff Bezos' edict about the paper's opinion section. Lewis' decision "underscores that the traditional freedom of columnists to select the topics they wish to address and say what they think has been dangerously eroded," Marcus said. Here's more from @npr.
Amazon boycotts must be making a dent; they’re running tv spots “reminding you that 60% of Amazon sales are from independent sellers.”
Time to open a new store, independent sellers!
