    I’d rather burn Elon for warmth than use his electricity.

      Make sure to write to OFGEM and let them know how you feel about Tesla having a license.

    I presume they will hold your electrical supply hostage if you ever make post criticism of their Nazi CEO?

      I still can’t believe he did that.

      I still can’t believe the US hasn’t arrested him for being a Nazi.

      The US is weird.

        It has its moments.

    electricity supply is regulated in the UK to the extent that companies cannot make money while fully complying with Ofgem rules, that have matured over the past 40 years or so.

    They will either make no profit at all, or end up paying the regulator large fines all the time. I’m fine with this.

      Or in true shit company fashion, promise to follow the rules, not follow them, then sue/petition the various bodies that they can’t make money unless the rules are removed.

    When your electricity goes off because you said something bad about Elon and he heard it…

      and he heard it...

      ...because every electrical appliance in your house is now connected to the internet and recording you.

        Naw, actually Palantir AI is analyzing all data it has collected about you and predicts the likelihood that you will do something disruptive to the oligarchy. If you’re determined to be a threat to Elon you will be exterminated!
