Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem.

Like, just to compare it to crypto and NFTs, it's real easy to lose money *gambling* on crypto, and mining bitcoin is folly, but crypto-writ-large is ultimately pretty cheap, that's why there's a billion different coins. Crypto can "winter" and assure itself that "it's still early".

Between NFTs, memecoins and a Bitcoin mining project, the president’s family has made $1 billion from crypto.
Some would consider it a conflict of interest that the president is both a crypto billionaire and has scaled back regulation of crypto. While they’d be right, that doesn’t matter these days

"getting sued for crypto mining with customers' cars" is very creative, five stars
Big takeaway from the Tesla earnings call is that Elon doesn't want to do anything to shore up sales, because he'd rather try to use the idle GPUs in parked Teslas as a distributed AI supercomputer... which doesn't make sense, but even if it did, it would still be stealing from your customers.
