It was a worst-case scenario for the company, which has partnered with an experienced battery maker, South Korea-based LG, to power its electric fleet. GM says LG has instituted new controls to ensure the fiasco doesn’t happen again. LG, which has made batteries for the Bolt’s entire run, is reimbursing GM for nearly $2 billion in costs associated with the recall. |

| #4 /\ Exactly correct. South Africans like Musk love America. American politics and politicians, not so much. They didn't have to read Courtois, Werth, Panne, Paczowski, Bartosek, and Margolin's 858 page, 'The Black Book on Communism.' They have LIVED it ! |

| #3 Interesting that Nancy and Paul Pelosi's recent call option buying binge did not include any Tesla options. Obviously Musk doesn't play ball with them. |
