Here’s the audio of this week’s Wheels Up! segment with Bill Meyer over at KMED FM in Medford, OR. We talked about entry level creep, among other things:

Trump vs. Elon has gone nuclear, TSLA stock in nosedive:

Like I predicted at the start of Trump 2.0, Musk would not last long and would be one of the first to jump the Trump sinking ship of state. No one of high intelligence or moral standing (real integrity) will ever last around Trump.
Perhaps it’s kabuki for the masses, or maybe not. But are we not entertained?!
The answer for me is “yes”. I am a little entertained at watching Darth Tangelo threatening to strike down his apprentice, while The Musk threatens to reveal the details of the Shadow Empire.
Perhaps Musk should’ve had his own house in order before becoming a nominal champion of small government by seeking safer ground away from government contracts and connections. By not being in the glass house when starting a rock fight. Of course, like many things he has done, this entire repentance might have just been a ruse to some end.
So, you’re saying, it’s all a Soap Opera?
…Certainly seems that way.
‘Er, Soap Opera meets, WWF? …That’s even more bizarre, than Bizarro World.
Could be, Helot.
Now, maybe it’s all genuine and we’re witnessing two over-inflated egos in some kind of junior-high playground battle.
Musk would be right, regarding that horrible, bloated abomination passed by the House. Just business as usual, with the exception of some imbalanced tax cuts and possibly the deregulation of silencers. Somehow, though, I doubt that last one will make the final cut.
A cry of pain from electrification victim, Ford Germany:
‘Ford Germany plans to cut 4,000 jobs as Berlin’s economic disaster continues to unfold.
“The entire automotive industry is in crisis all over the world, in Europe and especially in Germany. This transition to electro-mobility [sic] is hitting us very, very hard.”

Dummköpfe! Now ‘transition’ to bankruptcy. Or just zap yourselves with 400 volts and end the torment …
More on the glorious Morning Midas EeeVee inferno:
‘The Morning Midas, a RoRo carrier transporting roughly 3,000 vehicles—including electric vehicles (EVs) from Chinese automakers—was abandoned by its 22-member crew following a fire on Wednesday morning.
‘Aerial reconnaissance imagery published on X overnight by the U.S. Coast Guard shows white smoke billowing from Morning Midas’ stern section.
‘The ship’s cargo consisted of 3,048 vehicles, including 70 fully electric vehicles and 681 hybrid electric vehicles from a range of manufacturers, including Chery Automobile Co. and Great Wall Motor Co.,” Bloomberg wrote in a report.
‘The outlet noted, “It’s unclear at this stage which brand’s electric vehicle caught fire.”‘
