    Mar 4 2026

  • How 'Elongelical' Influencer Accidentally Predicted Robotaxi Fail
    Mar 3 2026

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how one of the “Elongelical” Tesla influencers, Whole Mars Catalog, by his own recorded words, must be disappointed by Tesla’s slow process of its Robotaxi service, as it still only seems to have one unsupervised robotaxi operating at a time in Austin. According to the Robotaxi Tracker, all the rest are still supervised, both in Austin and in the Bay Area in California. JJ also looks at what some other Tesla influencers are saying, and also come Tesla critics.

  • Elon’s “Thinly Disguised Fraud”: $1.25T SpaceX-xAI Merger
    Mar 1 2026

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how Yanis Varoufakis writes that the recent merger of Elon Musk’s SpaceX and xAI, is part of a financial market too eager to buy its own illusions. He thinks the market valuation is similar to the fraudulent arithmetic used during the Dot Com Bubble.

  • Kyle Kulinski Humiliates Joe Rogan For His “Tepid Little Criticisms”
    Feb 26 2026

    John Johnston (JJ) reacts to a recent Kyle Kulinski video, in which he torches Joe Rogan for his “tepid little criticisms” of the current administration, instead of being more forceful about it. Some other Rogansphere comedians and podcasters have begun to be very critical, but Joe Rogan can’t seem to summon up the courage to join them.

  • Scam? STILL Only One Tesla Unsupervised Robotaxi?
    Feb 25 2026

    John Johnston (JJ) breaks down news about Tesla Unsupervised Robotaxi roll-out in Austin, Texas. The third-party Robotaxi Tracker shows there are currently eight unsupervised Tesla robotaxis in the active fleet in Austin, but it also shows that seven of them haven’t been seen in operation for about two weeks. Is Tesla rotating the cars into unsupervised operation, but with only one or two in operation at a time? What’s going on with Tesla’s roll-out and scaling of unsupervised Robotaxi, with so much of Tesla’s market cap riding on this?
