       Saddened to think about how much infrastructure relies on the whims of an unstable leader. A group of US auto-makers recently agreed to switch their cars to the Tesla Supercharger standard. Now Musk has laid off the *entire* supercharger team, putting the future of EV charging at risk.https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/3/24147402/tesla-supercharger-layoffs-stalled-ev-infrastructure-projectsFortunately, a new firm supported by auto makers plans significant investments in chargers: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ionna-ev-charging-joint-venture-nacs-ccs-bmw-honda-gm/707513/

       Honestly, it's still basically true that Tesla is the world's smallest car company with the world's largest market cap, so it feels strange anyone would throw their hat in with that. It's like you pick a gerbil on unimaginable amounts of meth to draw your carriage because it's faster than the horse, and never think "Hey, what happens when the meth wears off? What happens before the meth wears off?"
