Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford is "ripping up" Ontario's nearly $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink in the wake of U.S. tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods, he said in a statement Monday.
The contract, signed in November, was meant to provide high-speed internet access through Starlink's satellite service to 15,000 eligible homes and businesses in rural, remote and northern communities by June of this year.
"Ontario won't do business with people bent on destroying our economy," Ford said in the statement.
Ford said Ontario will ban American companies from provincial contracts until U.S. tariffs are removed.
"U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame," he said.

bye, bye foreign aid

Cept that President is still in insistent upon giving said aid to the Nazi's in Ukraine. He needs to stop that.
Is it a deal breaker with Dale? No. I sided that old er once upon a time on the Twitter. I told him: "You'll never look and find me not there. Ever. It's my religion." He followed me in by [following me.]
That's it & that all.
Let's give him time. Crazy old man might just have a plan.
Agreed.
https://electrek.co/2025/02/03/tesla...-of-elon-musk/Tesla (TSLA) sales are dropping like a rock in Europe, but it’s not just because of Elon Musk
Tesla sales are dropping like a rock in Europe based on early sales numbers coming for January 2025. Many are linking this to dissatisfaction with CEO Elon Musk’s meddling in European politics.
While there’s undoubtedly some of that going on, it’s not the only factor.
Several European countries release car sale numbers on a monthly basis.
When we compare Tesla’s performance to the same period last year, the American automaker is down in every single market, and it has delivered about half as many vehicles as last year:
Code:Country Jan-25 Jan-24 % YoY UK 1,293 1,581 -18.2% France 1,141 3,118 -63.4% Netherlands 926 1,610 -42.5% Norway 663 1,109 -40.2% Spain 269 1,094 -75.4% Sweden 394 730 -46.0% Denmark 451 763 -40.9% Portugal 380 551 -31.0% Total 5,517 10,556 -47.7%

French prosecutors on have opened an investigation into Elon Musk’s X over allegations that it distorted its algorithms to manipulate discourse taking place on the social media platform.
The Paris public prosecutor’s office said it received a report from a French lawmaker on Jan. 12 criticizing X over “biased algorithms” that were “likely to have distorted the operation of an automated data processing system.”
Magistrates and specialized assistants of the office’s cybercrime section have been tasked with analyzing the report and carrying out initial technical checks on the platform, the prosecutor’s office told CNBC Friday, in emailed comments.
CNBC has contacted X for comment.
X, which was formerly known as Twitter, has been dogged by concerns surrounding shortcomings on content moderation since Musk bought the platform in 2022 for $44 billion.

https://www.myteslaexperience.com/20...end-up-in-To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in
In October 2024 I decided to buy a Tesla Model 3. When I picked up the car, many of its features did not work (cameras, GPS navigation system, autopilot, software updates, etc.). It turned out to be a major issue with Tesla’s brand-new on-board computer. This is a common failure in Tesla Model 3 cars manufactured in the last quarter of 2024. The issue has affected thousands of Tesla customers. Two weeks later, the car began to lose 8% battery daily. Several drivers experiencing the same failure have also reported problems with the braking (ABS) and suspension (EPS) systems.
Tesla acknowledges all faults in the vehicle (except for battery losses, a fact on which it has not yet formally commented). The company refuses to accept a return of the vehicle without penalty, even though the problems were reported immediately. The only solution they offer is to make me wait 3 months for a miraculous replacement part. Ignored and without any type of compensation, I live attached to a car that needs a full recharge every 12 days to not die. For my own safety, and that of other drivers, I have stopped driving the vehicle.

Cool story bro
& Germany ain't pissin' & moanin'...Hitler worked out after all...nary a German child has died in the slaughters of the past 80 years since II. ended. American children went in their stead with a goodly portion comin' back thru Dover, the last baker's dozen arrived slabbed & tagged to find Biden out there with his watch.
Exactly right. Voter harvesting by Biden.
That is why if the old man ain't gonna go after the masses of illegal immigrants in here he's just wasting his time and our money. Every single one who broke & entered this country should be sent back to their home country and blocked from trying to enter America legally.
So, let's hear his aim. All go back, or, what?
Chop/chop.
Trump turned your brain to pudding
Bend over. I'll give ya some in' pudding.
no thanks, I'm good
Tesla stock sinks by 26% in wake of Elon Musk’s ‘Nazi’ salute at Trump rally
Tesla’s stock has fallen more than 26 percent since Elon Musk became a central figure in President Donald Trump’s administration and kicked off his leadership with a now-infamous salute at Trump’s celebratory inaugural rally.
While addressing a crowd of Trump’s supporters on Inauguration Day, Musk brought his hand across his chest and then launched it into the air with his hand and wrist straight – earning intense scrutiny for what some believe was a “Nazi salute” or “Roman salute.”
While Musk’s electric vehicle company, Tesla, had enjoyed a large uptick in stock value due to his proximity to the Trump campaign, since the day after he made the gesture, Tesla’s stock has steadily dropped from $424.07 to $290.80 as of Wednesday.

https://mexicodailypost.com/2025/02/...usks-starlink/Carlos Slim orders to cancel his collaboration with Elon Musk’s Starlink
In a significant business development, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has decided to cancel his collaboration with Elon Musk’s Starlink. The decision comes after a series of tensions between the two magnates, culminating in Slim’s choice to invest in his own infrastructure rather than relying on Starlink’s satellite technology.
Slim’s company, América Móvil, announced plans to invest $22 billion over the next three years to enhance its telecommunications infrastructure. This move is seen as a strategic effort to strengthen its position in the market and reduce dependency on external partners like Starlink. The decision is expected to have a substantial financial impact on Musk’s company, which had anticipated a lucrative partnership in Latin America.
The fallout between Slim and Musk was further exacerbated by a controversial tweet from Musk, which implied connections between Slim and organized crime. This accusation, although unproven, added fuel to the already strained relationship between the two business tycoons.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/b...musk-tusk.htmlA union takes on Tesla over its stock price
...
Weingarten noted that Tesla’s shares have fallen to $290, down 28 percent over the past month. It pointed to what it said were a number of signs that the company was facing even more headwinds, including:
Falling quarterly earnings and profit margins, which the union said implied that Tesla was losing its pricing power
Tumbling sales in California, a major market, and in Europe
Greater compe ion in electric vehicle charging, a business Tesla has long dominated.
Biggest of all is the damage that Musk has done to Tesla’s brand, Weingarten argues. Customers considering buying an E.V. now view the entrepreneur negatively, citing data from the American EV Jobs Alliance, a bipartisan group.
The stakes are big. “If it were to decline to the price target of $135 that some analysts have projected, the resulting loss would be 1.2 percent of asset owners’ total S&P 500 indexed portfolio,” she writes.
Some Tesla investors have grown worried about whether Musk’s political work is distracting from Tesla and alienating potential buyers at home and abroad. Others are wondering how Musk may react to the effect on his own finances from Tesla’s falling valuation.

Seems to me Musk just doesn't gaf because he's eyeing the big prize: US government contracts for Tesla
