HMM: Tesla’s Engineering Exodus Comes Amid Shift From Core EV Mission.

Tesla shareholders just overwhelmingly backed CEO Elon Musk’s unprecedented pay package that could be worth $1 trillion over a decade, but engineers running the company’s main vehicle programs, for its top-selling Model Y, Model 3 and the controversial Cybertruck, aren’t sticking around to see how things turn out.

Emmanuel Lamacchia, an eight-year Tesla veteran and program manager for the Model Y, said late Sunday in a LinkedIn post that he was leaving the Austin-based company. His announcement came just a few hours after a similar post by Siddhant Awasthi, another eight-year veteran who ran the Model 3 and Cybertruck programs. Neither gave reasons for their decisions, though both mentioned new career steps, which they didn’t detail.

They’re just the latest high-profile engineers to leave as Musk seeks to shake up Tesla’s business, prioritizing AI-powered businesses – namely robotaxis and humanoid robots – that don’t generate revenue currently, rather than selling more electric vehicles, batteries and charging services, which do. Earlier this year, Musk fired the company’s head of manufacturing and sales in North America and Europe. In August, the director of Tesla’s battery team left the company, as did the head of its former “Dojo” supercomputer team and vice president of North American sales and service. Even Musk’s much-hyped “Optimus” robot project, which the billionaire said last week is likely to be Tesla’s biggest new business, quit in June.

Aside from the fact that the poor-selling, much-derided Cybertruck ranks among the auto industry’s biggest flops, Musk’s prioritization of non-EV businesses is making the company less attractive to auto engineers, according to a former Tesla executive.

Given the state of the EV market, reprioritization had to happen sooner or later. The company already reinvented itself once, going from a boutique maker of EVs to a mass manufacturer.

Now it’s adapting again.

CHANGE: Warren Buffett’s investor letter may be his last as Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO.

“I will no longer be writing Berkshire’s annual report or talking endlessly at the annual meeting,” the 95-year-old wrote in the letter. “As the British would say, I’m ‘going quiet.'”

Buffett’s shareholder letters have long been considered essential reading for investors, offering insights into Berkshire’s performance, plainspoken wisdom and reflections on business and life. In his new eight-page message, Buffett reminisced about his childhood in Omaha, Nebraska, the people who shaped his career, and the values that guided him, while noting that his health remains good.

“To my surprise, I generally feel good,” he wrote. “Though I move slowly and read with increasing difficulty, I am at the office five days a week where I work with wonderful people.”

It’s difficult to image a world where the Oracle of Omaha has gone quiet.

NUKE-I-FIED! Mollie Hemingway DOGWALKS Jake Tapper for Tantruming Over Trump Pardoning ‘Fake’ Electors.

Fake news and conspiracy theorizing, Jake. As per usual. They were not "fake" electors but "alternate" electors. https://t.co/xf9mKEUr5S

Democrats created the theory of alternate electors. It wasn't invented in 2020 by Trump. Democrats wanted an alternate slate in the 1960 election, and then they proposed one, again, in 2000 Bush v. Gore.

Trump used this precedent, media acted like it was invented from nothing. https://t.co/mAKYw8by0s

ROBERT SPENCER: Iranian Leaders’ Take on Mamdani’s Victory Is… Unique.

The Tehran daily Hamshahri, a decidedly pro-regime publication, was enthusiastic about the deep divisions in American society that Mamdani’s win seemed to portend. According to Iran International, Hamshahri ran the happy front-banner headline, “America Against America,” and really, that’s not wrong. The question now will be whether Americans who value the free society that the United States has been all these years will be able to triumph over those who want to replace that free society with a totalitarian, socialist, internationalist hellhole — with Zohran Mamdani leading the way.

Meanwhile, Abolghasem Jarareh, a member of parliament from Tehran, stood up in that august body and offered his sage analysis. “Zohran Mamdani’s victory,” Jarareh declared, “shows the strength of the slogan ‘Death to Israel!’”
