2022: Tesla filed an 8-K today to give notice of Teslaâ??s executing agreements 
to purchase Rootes and Sunbeam Appliances.  Teslaâ??s press release announced 
that it was only appropriate to recognize its cars are mere electronic 
appliances.  The board further announced that Elon Musk was finally being 
removed from all duties after the uproar caused by Elonâ??s tweets about Plaid 
mode and Spaceballs, the movie it came from, now that all gender identifying 
references have been outlawed. An appeal from the Scottish Travel Ministry was 
unsuccessful, not withstanding their valid point that in Scotland, plaid tends 
to be worn by men in skirts.  The board is considering naming the performance 
mode as â??Tiger modeâ?? in honor of the Rootes Sunbeam Tiger.  However, the 
SPCA has become a minority shareholder in Tesla for the sole purpose of 
preventing the company from maligning the animalâ??s name with â??prior owners 
of Sunbeam Tigers who are believed to have had more testosterone than currently 
allowed by law in the US.â??
