Jacob's retweets of Faraday Future staff posts are getting deleted, probably as those folks leave the company and destroy their Twitter accounts.

me: well, looks like he's doing well anyways, good for him

JB: dude, he Murano CrossCab is a sweet work of art, they should put a Hellcat engine in it.

me: ahh, so he's a troll.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Yup. Follow his Twitter feed that's when he said he was starting for them.

Oh, sept 3. I wasn't sure if "sep3" was some kind of obscure diet or fitness fad.

Holy chit.

His resumé is perma-scarred.

Not at all. He'll be judged on his work,  not the company's failure. One could argue that defending a failed company is a trial by fire, and the sort of thing that shows one can work with grace under pressure.

True true...I had basically that same thought after I hit the "Post" button. :lol:

I can't imagine it's fun for him. He wants to be a car PR guy, not a money laundering PR guy.

Faraday Future is basically building a Homer.

Everyone in the car industry knew that place was a sinking ship a long time ago. Someone going there this year would immediately throw some red flags to me. Maybe they threw a ton of cash at him?

Nah, just shows Tuets was on the never-need-to-know outer fringes of the company - sounds like a social media position to post fluff of whatever flavor of his choosing. Not a knock against Tuets mind you.

It wasn't just the insiders who knew they had zero shot.  It was literally the entire public :lol:

I wonder how things are going for Teuton at Faraday now.  His social media posts don't indicate any trouble or concern.  It's a little confusing, TBH.

Oh wow. Yes, FF's goose is getting ever more cooked. https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/14/18140953/faraday-future-ceo-court-freeze-jia-yueting-assets-stake

He works in PR though, he's literally paid to make everything seem rosy. I don't think we'd get the inside scoop from him in writing.

Faraday Future is desperate.

Some "tech blog", which robotically pumps out articles based on Crunchbase data, has selected Faraday Future as the #3 tech startup in ALL OF CALIFORNIA! AMAZING! WHAT A FEAT!

https://pandaily.com/faraday-future-among-the-2019-best-tech-startups-in-california-by-tech-tribune/

Naturally Jia Yueting is totally humbled by this incredible honor!

Here are other Top 10 lists written by this totally real, totally human blog:

Fabricating awards and partnerships out of thin air is classic Ponzi stuff. Faraday Future is fucked!
