NEW: California DMV has revoked Cruise's permit to operate driverless vehicles, effective immediately.

California DMV cites an "unreasonable risk to public safety."

Note that Cruise is now expanding into Seattle, DC, Miami, Dallas, and many other cities. Question: If Cruise is too dangerous for California, why is it safe enough for other states?

I saw the writing on the wall soon after Musk bought Twitter and closed my account forever. Later, he rebranded it X.

In other words:

I exited X and became an ex-X user pre-X.
