A TRILLION dollar bonus for Elon Musk??! If you split a trillion dollars evenly among AFA members, every member would get $500,000. And Tesla wants to give it to ONE MAN? Hell no. The good news is, we can stop him from ever getting it. #NoTrillionaires! actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

buzzfeed's market cap is now below $40m

"Wage gaps are especially large between the delivery workers at Amazon, who earn US$19 an hour on average, and the unionized drivers at UPS, who make $35." theconversation.com/the-unraveli...

We came out in couture capitalism cosplay to remind Tesla shareholders: no one should be a trillionaire. While Musk’s $1T pay package passed the next day, the movement is spreading. We disrupt. We organize. We show up, even if it’s a few of us with signs & glitter. Join us! @teslatakedown.com

New EV registrations in Germany for October 2025, top 20: As you can see, no #Tesla

This is so cool from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social: “More Perfect Union will have a full-time reporter to cover Zohran's administration from day one. Our reporters will be in NYC, at community meetings, and tracking every pressure campaign the billionaire class launches to oppose Zohran's agenda.”

the polling on data centers is just atrocious for the AI industry: • the younger people are, the more likely they are to dislike them • arguments against data centers consistently poll as more convincing than arguments for them • the dislike is also bipartisan, spans across all other demos

Buzzfeed’s financial situation ain’t looking too good

Let’s go #NoTrillionaires See you outside a Tesla showroom on Saturday week (Nov 15) #TeslaTakedown

Found out this week that bus ads in Seattle don’t allow non profits place ads on them. How is this a thing?

“Internally, Meta estimates that users across its apps in total encounter 15 billion ‘high risk’ scam ads a day.”

In his latest for Hard Reset, @alexshultz.bsky.social spoke to 3 signatories of an open letter condemning Shaun Maguire's bigoted rhetoric about Muslims and NYC's newly elected mayor: www.hardresetmedia.com/p/sequoia-st...

The #TeslaTakedownAward winner in the Best Elon Impression category is... @jadomian.bsky.social!

Your votes are in, they're counted and we know the winners of the #TeslaTakedownAwards. Before we reveal the winners, here are a few things we'd like to share. Why did we want to do awards? Because your creativity, courage and humor are the engine that's powered this grassroots movement 🧵

Venture capitalists want to eat the world. The playbook: identify a target, flood it with capital, capture the system, cash out. Today, their target is American democracy—and they're betting big on Trump. My conversation with @catherinebracy.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw_W...

I wrote about baseball!! <3 www.theverge.com/report/81448...

love this from @juliaangwin.com

"If Americans want to retire comfortably, Nvidia has to succeed." such a great line. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

You can't fight fascism without some whimsy, and that's exactly what we've got here. Try not to giggle. Our panel couldn't help themselves. We're betting you can't either. #TeslaTakedownAwards #TeslaTakedown

From Electrek: "A loss of over 1 million vehicles is not a rounding error. It is a self-inflicted disaster for the brand." electrek.co/2025/10/27/e...

That Yale study definitely got some pickup. 🤡 @cnn.com @axios.com @nber.org @reuters.com @yahoofinance.com @teslatakedown.com @alexwinter.com www.reuters.com/business/aut...

@indivisible.org coming for Spotify serving ICE recruitment ads. you love to see it.

#SF: put it in your calendar ✏️ reserve your spot today! luma.com/0tu9aktx

[email protected]'s first piece for @hardresetmedia.com is very very good! 'Trump credited the Salesforce CEO for his (temporary) about-face on sending troops to SF—a rare admission that POTUS and tech oligarchs are still wary of backlash.' www.hardresetmedia.com/p/why-donald...

#TeslaTakedown ftw

I hope that someone who is able to get a response out of Anthropic about anything can get them to respond directly to Claude being used by Rafael. Not only do they explicitly ban weapon development in their TOS, the company has lofty claims about its IHL principles www.anthropic.com/news/claudes...

Cincinnati Tesla Takedown — showing up and speaking out! #cincinnati #teslatakedown @teslatakedown.com @tesla-takedown.bsky.social

The VCs would be happy with this growth (!)

Top CEOs now make 285x what workers make. They’re prioritizing their own fortunes over the workers who create their profits. Now Elon Musk, who is already THE richest man in the world, may get a $1 TRILLION pay package from Tesla. It’s corporate greed. https://aflcio.org/paywatch

Hey SF folks! Hard Reset knows better than anyone... working in tech is exhausting! Which is exactly why we're inviting you to our HOT SAUNA & COLD PLUNGE on Weds 10/29 @ 6 PM. RSVP here: luma.com/0tu9aktx

"National Guard troops can provide a “cover” for these other federal entities to make arrests" - @katechatfield.bsky.social, executive director of @calpublicdefenders.bsky.social in @missionlocal.org: missionlocal.org/2025/10/nati...

so cool

Good on her

NEW Hard Reset - We spoke with @smw.bsky.social of @ainowinstitute.bsky.social on how the AI industry is being backstopped by government intervention and why that's concerning: www.hardresetmedia.com/p/the-fusing...

Hello! I'm joining @elirosenberg.bsky.social, @aristeinhorn.bsky.social, and @williamfitz.bsky.social as a writer at @hardresetmedia.com, a publication/newsletter about tech, politics, power, and media. These are all of my favorite things to write/report on, so I'm very excited to get going

Shame on each and every one of these

Spotted in San Francisco today

OpenGov, the company co-founded by Palantir co founder, Joe Lonsdale "Clariti’s annual software license would have cost $528,000, while implementation would run up to $1.6 million. By contrast, OpenGov’s original proposal had a projected cost as high as $9.9 million." sfstandard.com/2025/10/15/s...

Really fascinating convo with an NYU cognitive neuroscientist on sycophantic vs. disagreeable #AI #chatbots. Her new research shows that sycophantic chatbots increase political extremism, while disagreeable chatbots can actually reduce polarization: www.hardresetmedia.com/p/sycophanti...
