"quietly discloses"

Can we vote to ban an adverb?

Could it have been acquired to clear some possible patent issues on a future product?

Quietly has not so quietly become an AI slop calling card.

It's pretty obvious much of this article was written with AI, there's about 15 emdashes.

This electrek site frequently comes up in my Firefox news feed and they seem to have made a business of breathless reporting news about Tesla with a negative spin.

The idea that anything can still be buried in a filling is equally ridiculous

Yeah. They seem to specialize in low-effort Musk bashing. (Not that there doesn't appear to be a evergreen market for that among the jealousinati.)

> The company never mentioned the deal in its shareholders’ letter or during last night’s earnings call.

Is it legal? The whole point of earnings call is to disclose such events to [potential] shareholders.

That's it, they're jealous of Musk. It's not the Nazi salute, they're just jealous they don't get to exploit people like he does.
