Valuation is not important. These are private market transactions. Ultimately all the investors made out well, and it seems the company is more profitable than it was before. At least expenses are way down and if those expenses are correct then they are paying off the debt and making a good profit.
DoesntMatter22··on How we rebuilt Next.js with AI in one week
It's terribly painful to go and have to import everything you want to use when you want to use the Elixir console. That alone makes it not worth it to me.

I couldn't possibly disagree with this more. Since the acquisition Twitter/X has had far more features at a far faster pace than in the 10 years prior. They've added all sorts of great stuff, and recently have been near the top of the charts in the Apple App Store.

Mo biggie on revenue loss. They axed most of their staff and went from 2k devs to 30. Trade off seems fine
DoesntMatter22··on How we rebuilt Next.js with AI in one week
Elixir is nice but the console feels like the Stone Age by comparison. That drives me a little crazy

Rails powers nearly 15 percent of the US e-commerce. I love it. Any time I have to use another framework it feels like a huge downgrade. Rails has so many things that make it nice to use
DoesntMatter22··on Sub-$200 Lidar could reshuffle auto sensor economics
It was a great decision to drop LiDAR. The cars are running excellently without it
DoesntMatter22··on Tesla has to pay historic $243M judgement over Autopilot crash, judge says
Generally the people here are extremely against Musk so most things that are said which are positive, even if true, will get downvoted.
DoesntMatter22··on Tesla has to pay historic $243M judgement over Autopilot crash, judge says
They will 100% fight it regardless. This is a massive verdict against them and it sets a bad precedent. There's no way they don't fight it. It's a ridiculously large verdict.
DoesntMatter22··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
Unfortunately you don’t understand what “overvalued” means. The price is what people are willing to pay.

Tesla is far more than a car company. Even someone who hates them can recognize that

DoesntMatter22··on Tesla has to pay historic $243M judgement over Autopilot crash, judge says
This will continually be appealed until it’s reduced.
DoesntMatter22··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
Not sure what relevance Musk selling shares has to do with profit they've made. That seems completely irrelevant.

That being said, yeah, profits were down a bit but a lot of that was stock compensation and other things. In practical terms they went from a cash position of 36 billion to 44 billion.

They are in a phenomenal position financially as they have very little debt. By comparison GM made 2.7 billion and Stellantis lost 20 billion.

Tesla is in such a great cash position that Apple only has about 10 billion more than them in cash.

The future looks fantastic.

DoesntMatter22··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
Because it’s completely different. The US subsidized American buyers of the cars. The Chinese government is subsidizing foreign buyers in order to help eat foreign marketshare
DoesntMatter22··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
A lot of it is subsidized by the Chinese government and also, BYD's sales in January were down 33%

Still making fantastic profit every quarter. So there's really no issue.
DoesntMatter22··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
Not too bad. It’ll only improve from here and some of the accidents are reversing into poles and what not. Most of which isn’t counted in human accidents.
DoesntMatter22··on xAI joins SpaceX
No ai companies have profits yet.

If they AI business is failing why did they just do a successful large raise?

Did you see how this last quarter where BYD sales fell off a cliff?
DoesntMatter22··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Europe can’t defend itself without the US. That’s not the Us saying it that is coming from Europe itself.

All this stuff is mostly grandstanding

DoesntMatter22··on Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?
I’ve mostly used the 20 a month cursor plan and I’ve gotten to the point I can code huge things with rarely the need to do anything manually

DoesntMatter22··on Spotify increases its US subscription prices for the third time in 3 years
I have youtube premium to avoid youtube ads and now I use YouTube Music myself and it's great. Saves me money and I love it
DoesntMatter22··on Boeing knew of flaw in part linked to UPS plane crash, NTSB report says
Isn't it a mostly Boeing project that is going to go around the moon next month? I'm really afraid for that crew.
DoesntMatter22··on Elon Musk's Grok 'Undressing' Problem Isn't Fixed
They are all used. If by predictably you mean that people would do what they’ve done, they’ve done it on every platform so what difference does it make if it’s integrated with Twitter?
DoesntMatter22··on Elon Musk's Grok 'Undressing' Problem Isn't Fixed
All of them are used. And most of the time it’s the users fault. Yes it should prevent it but all of them have this issue. The other AIs are used far more often
DoesntMatter22··on Elon Musk's Grok 'Undressing' Problem Isn't Fixed
I think most of these AI's have this problem though. Not sure why xAI is getting picked on in particular.
DoesntMatter22··on Google AI Studio is now sponsoring Tailwind CSS
This would also be true if someone wrote a book about Tailwind. Are they “stealing” clicks the too?
DoesntMatter22··on Perfectly Replicating Coca Cola [video]
This seems completely believable to me. They have tons of research scientists and chemists who do this for a living, and had access to the best equipment (even back in the day).

It probably didn’t take them terribly long to do it
