Fire at Tesla: nine-figure damage?
After the attack on the power supply of the Tesla car factory in Brandenburg, the company quantified the possible damage for the first time. A Tesla representative spoke of a high nine-figure range. The reason given was the standstill in production. The group is assuming that the power supply will be interrupted for several days. From Tesla’s point of view, it is clearly an attack on this industrial settlement in Brandenburg, said the company representative. According to the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior, unknown people set fire to a high-voltage pylon this morning. A left-wing extremist group claims responsibility for the attack. | Mar 6, 2024 1:35 am
Stock pension: A lot of criticism of the traffic light plan
The federal government has presented a new pension model. The aim is to keep retirement benefits stable without increasing contributions for the working population. To do this, the state should take out loans and invest money in the capital market. According to Finance Minister Lindner, possible income should then replenish the state pension fund in a good ten years. Criticism of the stock pension comes from the opposition. Union parliamentary group vice-president Middelberg speaks of a “micro approach”. The Left warns against casino speculation with tax money. The AfD criticizes the fact that the share purchases should be financed through new debt. | Mar 6, 2024 1:35 am
