Musk has donated around $7 billion of stock to the Musk Foundation. The Musk Foundation qave $5 million to a United Nations program called Giga that helps rural nations connect to the internet. It turns out that two of those countries (Rwanda and Kazakhstan) ended up as customers of the Starlink satellite service. Starlink is a subsidiary of Spacex, which is owned and controlled by Elon Musk. Musk Foundation donated $1 million to Flint schools for water filters and laptops. A million dollars is not nothing, but it's also not close to what he promised. Oh: I need to add that Musk sent a Tesla executive to Flint to qive rides around the city hall parking lot in a self-driving car, so there's that. The Musk Foundation is one of the twenty largest charitable foundations in the country. So tell us, how would vou like us to support and help you financially? Also, what can grant funds of $50,000 and $1,000,000 do to your ife if you're chosen as one of the foundationbeneficiaries. #TechTalk #ElonMusk #Tesla #CharityWorks

Tesla’s ‘Whompy Wheels’ Drama: What’s Really Up?

Ever heard of Tesla’s infamous ‘whompy wheels’? Turns out, those sudden suspension failures aren’t just about how you drive. NHTSA files and overseas recalls suggest Tesla’s parts might be more fragile than they admit, but the company keeps blaming drivers for “abuse.” Regulators told Tesla to quietly fix more cars, but stopped short of a recall. If you’re eyeing a Tesla, know you might be taking on more risk than you think—especially when the company wants you to trust its self-driving tech, too. #Cars #CarOwnership #Tesla

Chicago’s deep freeze: Tesla battery survival story

Waking up to a 1% battery in a Tesla Model X after a night parked on a Chicago street at 9°F is a stress test few EV owners want. This driver’s portable charger showed “0 miles per hour” for hours as the battery fought the cold, finally creeping up to 7% after eight tense hours—just enough to reach a Supercharger. The big takeaway? In winter, don’t gamble with a low battery and always plug in while the pack is still warm. Anyone else have cold-weather EV stories or tips for surviving Midwest winters? #Cars #Chicago #Tesla

Cybertruck Hits Dubai Streets!

Tesla’s Cybertruck just rolled into the UAE after a rough sales year in the US (down 48%!). Dubai got the first batch—over 60 trucks delivered, complete with a dramatic demo of its “bullet-resistant” steel body. But get this: the price tag in the UAE is about $30k more than in the US, thanks to import costs. Europe? Not happening—too many rules and tiny roads. Looks like Tesla’s betting big on new markets! #Cars #Tesla #Cybertruck
