OMG, you just gave me something new to worry about. If that happened, I’d have to sell my Rivian!
No need to worry; any sale requires RJ approval as he controls voting shares.

What are you talking about. It would be great if Jeff B bought Rivian. :)
Well, not so much if we’re actually concerned about the worker safety reports at Rivian…

Or the 250,000 subscribers he just lost one of the most prestigious newspapers left in the world.

What paper would that be?

You mean the fish wrap that the owner said he didn't bother to endorse a candidate because he said no one reads them???

Just to be clear, I am not making any political statement and don't like either of the candidates (wished we had better alternatives)

He's right you know. People just don't. read newspapers anymore. Prestige is history and not the future.

I mean, they had enough readers to lose ¼ million subscribers and still have more left over. Politics aside, it’s a bit ridiculous to take him at his word when he says no one reads anymore, seeing as he *bought a freaking newspaper*.

Either he thinks a newspaper is a worthwhile thing, yet lost it a giant chunk of its readership, or he spent a lot of money buying something worthless that he doesn’t care about and doesn’t care if succeeds. Neither option would seem to make him an attractive option to purchase a company we care about.

From Rivian? They can’t even get Apple Music stable. Imagine your software is so bad you look to Rivian for improvement.
Every other vehicle manufacturer besides Tesla has worse software than Rivian.

No, every one which supports CarPlay is substantially better than Rivian. But even the ones that don’t tend to ship a car which is complete, not half baked and full of bugs they will fix years later, if at all. The list of unfixed Rivian bugs and missing features is a mile long.
