Twitter is heading the way of Truth Social. Chapter 11.
I'd be taking that deal and acting like someone slowly backing away from a building they accidentally set on fire while pretending they were never here.

Well, no you haven’t demonstrated conclusively that an EV in a location with a primarily hydrocarbon based electrical generation system will result in less emissions
You pointed out that the EIA estimates 5 percent losses due to transmission. Selecting the most favourable estimate, and basing your argument around it.
They appear to base it on a high level generation statistic and a volume of nationwide electricity sales.
As far as your ‘don’t believe me, ask the EPA’, I see their graphic which likely reflects a lower HC contribution to the mix than Alberta would have. They are arguing the bigger picture case, not the local case in a high HC electricity mix
We agree that in a low carbon electricity environment, the advantage is pronounced
I can accept that they are around the same order of magnitude in a hydrocarbon heavy mix, but there is still work to be done to demonstrate a material advantage
I don’t actually care all that much, I’ve got a hybrid and like it fine.
Just was responding to the comment about EV owners in Alberta flexing and curious to dig a bit deeper
Even if equal, the grid in Alberta is moving to lower and lower emissions. Gasoline will always be gasoline

Even if emissions are equal, it's nice to move them out of heavily populated areas. One day our kids will look back on the fact we had tail pipes spewing exhaust next to sidewalks the same way we look back at smoking on airplanes.

It’s not even the deal necessarily for Musk it’s the backing out of a nightmare and trying to repair any remaining shred of credibility you can and building back the ethos that you are some level up intelligence form.
That alone (to him) should be worth cutting your losses and moving on so the rest of his business ventures and ability to raise capital in future don’t totally collapse.

After months of waiting, hundreds of Twitter employees laid off by Elon Musk in early November received their separation agreements by email Saturday morning.
The agreements offered one month of severance pay, but with a major catch — employees must sign away their right to ever sue the company, assist anyone in a legal case against the company unless required by law, or speak negatively about Twitter, its management or Elon Musk.
Not only are former employees barred from voluntarily assisting in legal cases against the company, they also must assist and cooperate with Twitter in any kind of investigation or lawsuit against the company.
I don't think you can legally ban a person from saying something bad about another person, unless it's violating real laws. No way that holds up in court, due to something Elon Musk pretends to know about, it's called "free speech".

For just one month severance, I think I’d opt out of that and join others with a lawsuit to get their promised severance package. I believe Musk’s other companies’ BoDs and major shareholders would encourage him to settle this rather than drag it out at the expense of him making a spectacle of him and dragging down stock prices.

Oh yeah lol!
The severance is supposed to be a fair and mutual parting of the ways. You give someone money to essentially promise that they're not going to engage in legal proceedings.
You dont get to screw them over and still get that promise. Thats not how real life works.
Once again the vast Gulf between 'Reality' and 'The Way Elon Sees It' rears its ugly head.

especially as the article states:
"More striking is what the document omitted, said one former engineering manager who was laid off Nov. 4. The separation agreement does not include year-end bonuses, cash contribution for healthcare continuation, additional severance based on tenure, or the cash value of restricted stock units that are typically vested every quarter. These were all part of Twitter’s general severance package prior to Musk’s acquisition of the company in October, according to a previous companywide email."

Musk is aware that he's not in Apartheid-Era South Africa anymore right? Right?

I think of that every day when I walk my kids through a cloud of exhaust from idling pick-up trucks lined up at the school. Now that really GMGs!
