A sudden catastrophic failure of Tesla in the UK, considered the last place on earth still seeing positive sales of the dangerously out-of-date and defective car, is apparently explained by this news:
Naseem Akbarzada, Tesla country manager for Saudi Arabia, told reporters this week: “Today we are proud to officially launch in the kingdom, marking the start of a long-term presence in the country.”
That sounds so ominous, how a judge hands down a proud sentencing. Tesla, unwelcome around the world, has been ordered into a long term presence in desert isolation.
And then this:
Saudi economist Mohammed Al-Qahtani welcomed Tesla entry into the market, but urged the company to invest more in the country, saying “we do not want a showroom… We want to be… not just consumption.”
Isn’t that also what the Saudis said when they pushed Elon Musk to use their billions to takeover Twitter and make it more anti-semitic? They didn’t just want to consume social media, the Saudis wanted to be the the supply-chain to produce more hate speech, right?
Perhaps we see now why nobody would be buying a Tesla in the UK anymore. A money laundering system can artificially prop up Elon Musk with evil investments closer to home.
Musk confirmed that he would be striking major deals with Saudi for all of his companies….
…Musk halted the discussion to bloviate about building Boring Company tunnels that can “essentially create like a worm hole or a warp tunnel from one part of a city to another and alleviate traffic.” It is important to note that Starlink is the only thing promised by Musk in this chat that has made it past the vaporware phase.
Of course it’s all vaporware. That’s the easiest form of money laundering. If the product were real, the Saudis would have to receive something worthless to them. On the other hand, huge sprawling parking lots full of unused and unwanted Tesla Cybertrucks and Robotaxis make more sense in an empty Saudi desert than spread across America, China or Europe.
Think about Elon Musk attempting to look clever by lecturing the biggest deep drilling technology nation in the world. Do you think they care about his dream to buy a couple used drills so he can dig some shallow holes to reinvent the subway? I mean Saudis know this stuff better than anyone. Just think about the best modern ways to lay down subways for desert cities. It’s not drilling.
Elon Musk is allowed pretend to be smart and to bloviate because the Saudis (let alone Russians) just need an attention-seeking and willing idiot. When all this big fraud falls apart and Elon Musk is on the run from the law like Epstein, expect him to pop up in a fancy apartment (evil executive privilege retirement plan) in Moscow or Riyadh.
One example of the kind of “executive privilege” events that now may be linked to Epstein is Ronald Reagan’s transfer of arms to Saddam Hussein, via Saudi Arabia, to illegally avoid Congressional oversight let alone accountability to the American public.
The Iran-Contra scandal seems to have been just a tip of the iceberg when factoring that Epstein may have been a useful pawn during that time to intelligence agencies, enslaving girls and trafficking them within arms deals to dictators.
No wonder Trump and Musk have been so focused on deals with the Saudis lately. Iran-Contra seems like only yesterday to the GOP, I’m sure.
What we really are witness to right now, if history is any guide, is the scaffolding for a transfer of restricted AI technology to a sanctioned country through a series of cutouts, with proceeds funding proxy forces in a conflict zone, all justified as necessary for strategic interests despite explicit congressional prohibitions.
