In den beginne was ik een scepticus over #HalsemaDoctrine als hoeder en burgermoeder van 'mijn' stad na #Eberhard, maar in de loop van de jaren heb ik steeds meer waardering voor haar gekregen. In moeilijke, gevoelige en verontrustende tijden, weet ze telkens weer de goede snaar te raken en de balans te vinden

Vor genau sechs Jahren zog das Sturmtief #Eberhard über Deutschland hinweg. Es sorgte für einzelne Orkanböen, viele umgestürzte Bäume und gesperrte Straßen/Autobahnen und großräumige Störungen im Bahnverkehr. Ein Mann kam durch den Sturm ums Leben. /LD

@GatekeepKen with #alttext "It's always worth reminding Musk's fan boys that these are the brilliant men who founded Tesla. Elon was just a series-A investor who bought in, then sabotaged the company enough until these men were pushed out, then he spent the next ten years telling everyone he founded Tesla.
This is a picture of Mark #Tarpenning and Martin #Eberhard. They founded #Tesla. You know, in case you thought it was someone else."

I really don't know
where the myth that #Musk is a 'genius' comes from.
Almost all Musk's businesses have turned out to be >scams
#Musk did NOT invent #PayPal
which was created by #Levchin & #Thiel that then 'merged' with Musk's X.com
#Tesla was created by engineers #Eberhard & #Tarpenningis NOT Musk
#SpaceX was somehow successful ONLY thanks to good engineers
(Musk hijacked Tesla proceeds / #American #taxpayers $ and poured them into SpaceX)Musk is a... 'Trump-style Genius' 🤣

@oliverherold Ja, habe mich deswegen auch verschiedentlich kritisch mit #Luther auseinandergesetzt. Was jedoch bei Graf #Eberhard zum #Antijudaismus dazukommt, ist eben die #Vertreibung aller Jüdinnen und Juden aus seinem Reich! Es ist m.E. eben doch ein enormer Unterschied zwischen der Bewertung von Haltungen & religiösen Vertreibungen! Welcher Christ würde sich an einer Uni angenommen fühlen, die nach einem Christen-Vertreiber benannt wäre? https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/verschwoerungsfragen-33-die-schluempfe-und-der-luther-hermeneutik-statt-verdraengung/

I always wondered what became of the original CEO of Tesla. I *think* I first learned about him in the documentary "Who Killed The Electric Car?". It is a bit old, but still worth watching. That documentary embarrassed the CEO of General Motors into creating the hybrid car the Chevy Volt.

@starkmiriam #Musk ended up mortgaging everything he had to save the company that #Eberhard nearly ran into the ground. And thankfully, it worked (mainly due to an investment by #Daimler to build an electric Smart car - if it had come a week later, paychecks would have bounced).
#ElonMusk kept resisting becoming the CEO because he was busy with #SpaceX; after the company's third CEO left, he finally accepted (becoming the fourth) it in late 2008.

@filmcritic Also, the fact that you think that #Tesla fans aren't familiar with #Eberhard... I mean, where to even start? That's like saying, "#Apple fans don't know that there was this guy named #Wozniak...."

@[email protected] @dominicvfx Also always left out of this story: #Eberhard was independently wealthy. He had just sold off his company NuvoMedia to Gemstar for $187M. Yet he put very little of his own money into the company; it was #Musk who risked everything he owned to save it, having to clean up Eberhard's mess.
Literally, Eberhard was telling the board that the cars were going to cost a little over half what his actual numbers said they were going to cost.

@[email protected] @dominicvfx Tesla did not "come from the work of #Eberhard and #Tarpenning". When #Musk and Eberhard/Tarpenning joined forces, (A) Musk was already working on exactly the same project, even with the same ACP powertrain (only on a Noble chassis), and (B) Tesla was a shell company with no tech of its own and not even the legal rights to its own name. And they did not "step down"; Eberhard was fired by the board (even his own appointee) for stringing them along on a pack of lies.

CW: Elon Musk
@[email protected] @davetroy @Tnicholsmd And to be explicit, #Tesla wasn't "bought out". Tesla was a shell company. It had no tech to its name - it was all ACP's. It didn't even own the trademark to its own name. No money changed hands. And - key point - ***#Eberhard was independently wealthy***. He had recently sold his compan NuvoMedia to #Gemstar for $187M.

CW: Elon Musk
@[email protected] @davetroy @Tnicholsmd Sorry, but this is revisionist history.
Both of #Musk's' early companies were mergers between pairs of startups, but he was *absolutely* working on them on his own at the time of the merger. #Paypal Inc was the merger of Musk's X.com and #Thiel's Confinity. And when Elon and #Eberhard merged their forces, #Elon was already working on a converted #Noble with ACP's powertrain (while Eberhard was working on a #Lotus with ACP's powertrain).

An dieser Stelle möchten wir heute mal ganz herzlich all den Feuerwehr- und Rettungskräften danken, die im Sturm für uns da draussen sind und ihre Arbeit machen. Danke, daß es Euch gibt!
