I'm launching an Afghanistan food relief project...

Partnering 501c3 non-profit organization: https://orphanproject.org The following is a Memo of Understanding that the Board of International Orphan Care has agreed to: Afghanistan Food Relief Project Memo of Understanding (International Orphan Care + Dave Lee) Date: Dec 19, 2021 Whereas the people in Afghanistan are facing a devastating humanitarian crisis and millions of children are lacking food, this project is to make an impact in whatever way we can. 1. Dave Lee will donate $25,000 to International Orphan Care and will also raise additional funds from his network. 2. Dave Lee is requesting International Orphan Care to use at least 80% of the funds to purchase, transport, and oversee distribution of food and critical supplies in Afghanistan in the hardest hit areas where children are struggling from lack of food and malnutrition. 3. Dave Lee is requesting that if he can raise at least $200,000 that this money be used to fund food distribution projects on a monthly basis from January 2022 to November 2022. (Note: If less than $200k but more than $100k is raised then Dave Lee requests food distribution be done in 6 intervals starting January 2022 and ending in November 2022. If less than $100k total is raised/donated, then Dave Lee requests food distribution be done in at least 3 intervals, once in January, May and October 2022.) 4. Dave Lee is requesting that International Orphan Care provide him with two reports (a mid-project report by June 15, 2022 and a final project report by Nov, 30, 2022) that includes the following: Detailed narrative of how project went, how each month's food distribution went, what food/supplies were purchased and for how much, how the food/supplies were distributed, who received the food/supplies, and some examples of the difference the food/supplies made in the lives of some of the families.

I discuss the following highlights from Elon Musk's interview with Financial Times (https://www.ft.com/content/a7f75d25-d710-4aaa-9f57-49e24d67744d) for their Person of the Year award. 1. “For a long time, the rest of the auto industry was basically calling Tesla and me fools and frauds. They were saying electric cars wouldn't work, you can't achieve the range and performance. And even if you did that, nobody would buy them.” 2. “I felt they [National Transportation Safety Board] pursued press headlines over real safety. That's obviously [something] I do not respect, nor should be respected. It's certainly possible for some assh*** to compile the handful of times that I've disagreed with regulations, write a story and make it sound as though I'm some, like, madman shooting from the hip. At no point am I suggesting that any regulatory agency be disbanded, or anything like that. I'm not some sort of mad-cap libertarian.” 3. Is Musk's bad-boy Twitter persona part of some elaborate marketing plan… He laughs at the question. “I mean, are you not entertained? I'm not saying I don't make foolish tweets, of course I do. There are times when I shoot myself in the foot. But you know, on balance, it's entertaining and interesting, informative, whatever.” 4. “The thing that people who don't work with me don't understand is that I'm first and foremost an engineer. How have Tesla and SpaceX succeeded when other companies have far more resources and money than I do? The problem is they can't hire me.” He also says a dedication to engineering excellence and a focus on important challenges has been critical to attracting top engineering talent. 5. Musk says he spends seven days and 80-90 hours a week bouncing between the most critical projects at Tesla and SpaceX. “It's not like I arbitrarily try to micromanage. I am actually involved in triage: What is the most useful thing that I can do? And I am very good at technology and engineering. Everyone's got their talents, that's one of mine. I can't sing or dance, but I can do that.” 6. He says Bezos has “reasonably good engineering aptitude but he does not seem to be willing to spend mental energy getting into the details of engineering. The devil's in the details. In some ways, I'm trying to goad him into spending more time at Blue Origin so they make more progress. As a friend of mine says, he should spend more time at Blue Origin and less time in the hot tub.” 7. “I am confident we don't need new physics [for Starship]. But it is just a staggeringly difficult technical problem. I sometimes wonder, is it actually within the ability of humans to do this? I know that it can be done, but it remains to be done.” 8. “I didn't think we would have to solve a significant part of artificial intelligence to make FSD work”. But he adds that he is now “99.9 per cent — round it up to 100 per cent — confident full self driving will work, it's just a question of when. And more... Social

I discuss the 12 main points Gordon Johnson makes in his Tesla TSLA bear case on CNBC. Full interview link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7dBDZKqKoA Main Points by Gordon Johnson: 1. Tesla ranked 27 out of 28 in Consumer Reports reliability report. 2. BYD outselling Tesla in battery electric vehicles in China. 3. VW outselling Tesla in battery electric vehicles in all of Europe. 4. Ford or GM will probably outsell Tesla in the U.S. next year. 5. Every EV coming to the U.S. can match or beat Tesla in real-world mileage. 6. In autonomous driving Tesla ranks dead last. 7. Tesla doesn't lead in any technological aspect. 8. Tesla's only advantage is with their Superchargers. If Build Back Better plan passes with EV charger subsidies, then other auto makers will beat Tesla in real-world range, autonomy, technology and also supercharging. 9. Elon has already increased price of cars by $7500(?), so taking money that government wants to give to auto buyer and putting it in his pocket. 10. Elon not trying to expand EVs for all, that's why he wants to remove the $4500 union bonus. 11. Tesla CFO says gross margins will come down due to ramp of 2 new factories. 12. Tesla has no new models next year. Volume risk. Social
