It’s incredible to me that people buy Jeeps or Land Rovers. Neither are inexpensive, both are shit.
Back when Musk was trying to hit production milestones, cars were being assembled in tents with parts made of home depot wood.
Ford is doing similar things with fake parts cobbled quickly on their trucks.
This all works because people spend >$60,000 on vehicles with no research. No one wants these vehicles used.

Title: The Safest Cars On Sale In Europe Now Are Chinese EVs Subtitle: The Tesla Model 3 keeps its position as Europe’s safest car, but it too is made in China, and is followed by mostly Chinese cars
“So the next time you hear someone claiming Chinese cars are still bad, poorly made, and a potential health hazard, just show them the Euro NCAP rankings.”
NCAP does not asssess quality or reliability or health hazards, just smashing into stuff.
Tripe.

Ok, I looked, he has a piss poor record with donations:
Educational and Research
Foundry10: Newell co-founded this educational company focused on exploring and researching non-traditional learning methods.
-not a donation. In 2024, foundry10 had total expenses of approximately $2.02 million, against a revenue of $1.83 million. He spent more on shitters for this yacht.
Racing and Motorsports
Heart of Racing: In 2020, Newell co-founded this racing team to raise funds for children’s charities.
-no, this is to own a race team.
Seattle Children’s Hospital: The Heart of Racing partners with the Seattle Children’s Hospital, with a commitment to raise money for its pediatric cardiac care unit.
no actual money mentioned.
Space and Other Projects
Gnome Chompski: In 2020, Newell sent a titanium replica of the Half-Life 2 gnome, “Gnome Chompski,” into space with Rocket Lab.
Blew junk into space, ok Elon.
Donation: He pledged to donate $1 to the Starship Children’s Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, for every person who watched the launch stream within 24 hours. The total amount raised was over $286,000.
Not exactly charity. it was a tool to get people to watch a launch.
Other projects: Newell has also autographed posters for charity auctions, such as for the AbleGamers Charity.
I’m sure tens of dollars were raised.
I’m still waiting for West’s Racing Legends.
