Why would he need a pardon

The Rivian thing is that they're trying to float themselves long enough for than new plant to start production on their upcoming, smaller R2 and R3 models. The Illinois plant isn't tooled to build those models, in addition to the R1 models.
Not saying it's a winning strategy, but the new models are supposedly athe ones that will be profitable. As long as the gub'mint and investors keep giving them cash I guess they'll have a legitimate shot to succeed.
My understanding with VW is that they are hurting massively right now and are trying to tie in with Rivian for their EV tech as they don't have the ability to hit their targets/ requirements on their own.
Also, isn't Tesla building Gigafactories in Texas and Germany to produce their own batteries?

I don't know a lot of details but it only lasted three hours before parliament overruled the president's actions
-
There was never even a trial. They needed to cover that up toot sweet
-
There was never even an investigation. None. Nancy blocked it as she was in charge of capitol security as speaker of the house.

I laughed! Brings back memories of good times.

But it wasn't arson or timed…

What's the functional difference between the Stanford president and the dazzler? Compare and contrast with a student editor of the conservative Stanford Review and a supposedly elite University president. Bonus question, what is the functional difference between the Stanford Faculty Senate and the dazzler?

Stanford in the Hot SeatThe Stanford Review, the conservative student newspaper that Peter Thiel and others founded back in the 1980s, managed to persuade Stanford’s new president, economist Jonathan Levin, to sit down for an interview. It’s worth reading the whole thing, but in short the Stanford Review did a great job of putting Levin on the hot seat. Some excerpts, starting with the one that is getting the most attention on social media right now:
Stanford Review: What is the most important problem in the world right now?
President Levin: There’s no answer to that question. There are too many important problems to give you a single answer.
Stanford Review: That is an application question that we have to answer to apply here. . .
Stanford Review: The first two categories are the buckets of questions that I have. So I’ll move on to my first question about Stanford’s educational and political climate at the present moment. In one of my classes, I was randomly assigned a partner to work on a presentation together. He told me that he had not read a book, cover to cover since the third grade, let alone at Stanford. In June, he will graduate with a degree from Stanford. How is this possible?
President Levin: Have you read a book at Stanford?
Stanford Review: I actually have. I’ve read fifty. I’ve counted. Probably at sixty now.
President Levin: I can’t speak to the particular student you worked with and exactly the way he or she has approached things. I think it’s a missed opportunity if you go through Stanford without doing a lot of reading, because at least in many fields, that’s the way to learn. Now, some fields, it’s true at Stanford, you learn in different ways that aren’t necessarily from books [like Shop?], but you know, I certainly would hope [but certainly not a requirement] that any student who came to Stanford would spend a lot of time reading and thinking and reflecting. So I think it’s a missed opportunity if that’s not how you choose to spend a good fraction of your time here. . .
Stanford’s Ivory Tower Tyranny: Atlas Censure Vote Reveals Academia’s True Colors
Last Thursday, the Stanford University Faculty Senate voted against repealing the 2020 censure of Dr. Scott Atlas, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and former Trump administration advisor on the White House Coronavirus Task Force. . .
It reveals a troubling reality within elite academic institutions: the hollow nature of their proclaimed commitment to free speech. Initially twice postponing the vote to avoid political interpretation, the Faculty Senate has now taken the dramatic step of refusing to rescind the censure, cementing its politically motivated decision.
The Senate’s outright rejection is particularly striking given the subsequent dismissal of several positions for which Atlas was initially censured. When Stanford faculty censured him in 2020 for questioning COVID-19 policies like lockdowns and mask mandates, they did so without even offering him an opportunity to defend his positions. Even as evidence has mounted supporting many of Atlas’s positions, the institution has doubled down on its censure.
