The Indians just keep surprising me. They tend to pull off the most strangest of surprises.

I remember few years back I heard a story that was unbelievable. Remember when these EDL gangs appeared out of nowhere in London and Birmingham etc etc? It was a far-right white group back in 2010-2013 they were active in that era before they got beaten back.

There were cases of atleast 3 incidents meaning 3 indians applied to join them and they didn´t only got rejected but two of them got jumped and beaten to pulp before tearing apart their applications to join. EDL was a White far-right group.

Besides these Indians did it separately in different cities and didn´t know about each other

(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc.’s sales plummeted 59% last month in Germany, adding to indications that Chief Executive Officer’s Elon Musk political activities are hurting the carmaker’s business in major electric vehicle markets.

The US manufacturer registered only 1,277 new cars in January, its lowest monthly total since July 2021, according to the German Federal Motor Transport Authority.

Tesla lost substantial ground in an EV market that was up 54% for the month. Musk’s intervention in Germany’s upcoming federal election likely factored in the result — a poll taken in mid-January found the CEO was viewed unfavorably, and that his political interventions were unwelcome.

Let's see. Europeans hate Musk's guts. Tesla cars are no longer viewed as status symbols there, but nazimobiles. MAGA apes are definitely not gonna replace green-minded California libs as Tesla's core customer base in the US. Chinese market is now more important than ever for Tesla !

If I am China I would convey to Musk that his business interests in China might be targeted, unless he fully obeys. Musk has displayed insubordinate attitude lately. He went against Chinese interests in Latin America and has belittled DeepSeek. Time to remind him of who's the boss !

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) sold fewer China-made vehicles last month, affected by the Chinese New Year holiday like other Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers.

Tesla China sold 63,238 vehicles in January, including those sold in China and those exported from China to overseas markets, according to data released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).

That's down 11.49 percent from 71,447 a year ago and down 32.56 percent from 93,766 in December.

Tesla's USD 1.16B market cap is still totally justified, though :rolleyes: I am sure US streets will be flooded with Tesla robotaxis any second now.

Greenlanders could soon vote in a referendum on independence from Denmark under plans proposed by the ruling party, Siumut.

You never expected to be this invested in the domestic politics of Greenland, right? Me neither. But that’s the Trump effect. We better get used to it.
Last night, the leader of the ruling party there said that if they get re-elected, they will accelerate the independence process by triggering Section 21 of the Greenland Self-Government Act to negotiate the terms of a future relationship and, crucially, hold an independence referendum within the next parliament.

Party leader Erik Jensen admitted in media interviews that Trump’s intervention indirectly contributed to this decision, and Siumut’s political spokesperson Doris Jakobsen Jensen went further and criticised the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen for her “solo run” in Europe in response to Trump’s words, allegedly ignoring Greenland’s will. However, there will be plenty of practical questions about how any future arrangement would look, which will probably complicate the process. For example, under the current arrangement, Denmark pays the territory a 4.3 billion kroner (£484m or €580m) grant.
A recent poll for Berlingske and Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq showed that most Greenlanders expect this to continue even after independence. But would Denmark agree? Her office declined to comment “out of respect for the electoral process.” If that money is not there, will Greenlanders still want independence now? Are they ready, or need more time?

An overwhelming majority of Greenlanders want independence at some point but only 6% want their semi-autonomous country to secede from Denmark to become part of the US instead.

A new poll shows that 84% of Greenlanders want their homeland to be independent from Denmark. Yet almost half, 45%, say they only want it if it does not have a negative impact on their standard of living.

Only 9% say they do not want Greenlandic independence.

The poll by Greenlandic media Sermitsiaq and Danish newspaper Berlingske also shows that although 56 per cent of Greenlanders would vote yes to an independent state if a referendum were held tomorrow, few Greenlanders think Greenland is ready.

Only 8% say that Greenland could become an independent state within a year, while 52% think it could happen within 10 or 20 years.

That is a far cry from the swift transition to American control US President Donald Trump is hoping for.

Looks like Greenland needs some freedom and democracy. USAID, NED can help with that first.

Nah both of those organizations got canned.

It’s gonna go something like this:

Trump invades Greenland. Denmark tries to scramble F-35s in response but the access code expires while the plane is in mid air. Complete US domination.

Trump — “told you that single engines jets are unreliable”.

Musk — “time to invest in a million hypersonic drones launched by starships instead!”
