My first memory with a computer was playing (more like trying to play) Microsoft flight simulator 1.0 on a Macintosh when I was around 8-9. The thing that looks like that:

I only started using Linux when installed dual boot Ubuntu on the family computer around 14-15.

It was Saturday evening around 10pm, three restaurant employees went into one of the client car to "try it out", the client (65 years old) was clearly speeding, lost control of the vehicle, left the road and hit a traffic sign.

My bet is that all of that has nothing to do with the fact that this was a Tesla, the only difference is the fire but this is the same for every electric vehicle.

Yeah, historically this kind of period is usually followed by a period of trickle down.

The heads start to trickle down from the higher classes to the lower ones.

It is also way easier to install a charging station than a gas station.

Electricity is already available everywhere.

You forgot water in your scenario.

To be fair most people in a first world country don't need to think about water since it's just "there", all the time.

But as soon as the electricity goes out the water supply goes out too.

No water supply means no water to drink, with no water the human body die within 3 days, so people will start to rely on any dirty water they can find.

About dirty water, no water also means no WC. I repeat: no WC so no evacuation of feces and urine. Within a few day a big city swill be covered with human excrement. Mixed with no clean water access it means that deadly waterborne diseases will spread extremely quickly.

They did but they already owned 95% of the shares and they are just buying the last 5% at a fair price.

here you go

Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

You have some margin to work with. Of course it's not going to be as effective than switching OS but you can use privacy focused firewall. For example Portmaster on windows or tracker control on Android.

These firewall will try to block as much telemetry as possible.

You should also be cautious about what you install on your system, opensource app usually have a better track record regarding privacy.
