Re: xNY.io - Bank.org, PBC | Memo #1 - Potential SpaceX Interlocking Directors’ Intent to Manipulate Markets; Saving Dogecoin & Elon's Empire Evolves as the TechBro Backlash Gets Ugly
by Gunnar Larson 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Dear Attorney General James: - *xNY.io - Bank.org aims to earn approval to explore the New York False Claims Act to confront SpaceX as a racket.* The Cryptonite Weekly Rap is out with a look into Dodge backlash. *Nonviolent resistance, anyone? The TechBro backlash gets destructive as MLK, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi <https://substack.com/redirect/0b2e2842-dd87-4c66-8811-38291ce5c82d?j=eyJ1Ij…> weep from above—Art courtesy of xAI.* Elon's empire evolves as the TechBro backlash gets ugly You can't say Elon is not taking one for the skipper. Tesla shares started to recoil on January 21, the day after President Trump's inauguration, when the Cowardly Lion took over as head of DOGE. Since that inglorious day, Elon has taken a $60 billion stock hit, pushing the value of his Tesla stock below his stake in SpaceX. But save your crocodile tears for the Cowardly Lion. Despite Tesla's recent slump, the company's stock is still up 46 percent over the last year, and Elon remains the world's richest person (not counting Vlad and the Saudis).😭 The stock was also overvalued like the rest of BigTech, and the hit was part of the market correction. The TechBro backlash in 2025 was our second prediction for the year. After witnessing the *Biden/Harris in '20*-voting 'Magnificent Seven' CEOs lining up at Mar-a-Lago to wash the feet of their new master, you could see it coming. *But* we didn't predict it would come with Molotov cocktails <https://substack.com/redirect/99d3e0fb-5041-4682-bf1f-d6513d362fdd?j=eyJ1Ij…> and stacks of death threats.😳 Since Elon's DOGE appointment, Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations have faced a notable wave of vandalism and arson attacks across the United States and beyond. A conservative, evidence-based estimate suggests total damages created by these incidents of at least $2.4 million <https://substack.com/redirect/77963891-12d0-40c4-a447-a1857a34648f?j=eyJ1Ij…> thus far. Breaking News *Multiple bombs and incendiary devices were found inside a Tesla showroom in Austin, Texas, today, as nationwide threats against CEO Elon Musk continue.😳 The Austin Police and Bomb Squad rushed to the scene and located multiple 'suspicious devices' at the Tesla dealership and took them into custody without incident. Since January 2025, at least 48 incidents of vandalism, arson, or other attacks on Tesla properties have been reported across nine states, reflecting a broader wave of hostility.* Meanwhile, reports have emerged of dramatic declines in Tesla car sales in the first two months of 2025 in Germany, China, and Australia, and analysts at JPMorgan recently cut their global deliveries forecast <https://substack.com/redirect/4477e346-2eca-489d-af6f-ec91cee2dd30?j=eyJ1Ij…>for the first quarter of 2025. Despite once being the darling of ‘progressives’ for cutting tens of millions of tons of CO2 from going into the ozone and making every auto company on the planet do the same, EDS is ramping up <https://substack.com/redirect/d304d346-d989-4fa0-a266-00aad75e00a3?j=eyJ1Ij…> and is terrible for at least the Tesla business. *-----(PAGE BREAK)-----* xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully reserves all Interjurisdictional rights.

Business Casual creates short original historical documentaries which it posts to its YouTube channel. Its documentaries frequently feature photographs of historical figures, using a process called "parallax" which "transforms century-old low-resolution photographs into dramatically restored high-resolution photographs" and "turn[s] two-dimensional images into three-dimensional models . . . simulating a depth-of-field. This optical illusion provides Business Casual's videos with an immersive three-dimensional look and feel." The lawsuit relates to two of Business Casual's documentaries—"How Rockefeller Built His Trillion Dollar Oil Empire" and "J.P. Morgan Documentary: How One Man Financed America"—clips of which Business Casual alleges TV-Novosti incorporated into three separate videos on its "RT-Arabic" YouTube channel, including portions featuring parallax-enhanced images, altering the brightness and saturation of the copied content and replacing Business Casual's watermark with TV-Novosti's own in order to hide from YouTube's algorithms. TV-Novosti moved to dismiss the copyright claims, arguing that it's use of the clips is protected as fair use. However, after considering each of the four statutory factors, Judge Koeltl of the Southern District of New York denied TV-Novosti's motion, holding that while three of the four factors weighed against finding fair use, "[t]he fourth factor, which the Supreme Court has described as 'the single most important element of fair use,' cannot be determined without further factual development." Specifically, regarding the first factor, concerning the transformation of the use, Judge Koeltl found that while TV-Novosti's videos take portions of the plaintiff's videos, re-arrange them, and add new commentary to them, TV-Novosti had not made any meaningful changes to the visual clips themselves, and "[m]erely overlaying new audio does not effect a sufficient transformation . . . to find fair use as a matter of law." The Court further noted that TV-Novosti had "not changed the purpose of the parallax-enhanced images," i.e., to provide visual illustration for the overlain audio commentary, but had instead "simply lifted the copyrighted depictions . .. for the purpose of illustrating [TV-Novosti's] own video." In addition, the Court found that the fact that TV-Novosti could have sought to pay for the clips, but didn't, and tried to hide its use of the excerpts from YouTube's algorithms, also weighed against a finding a fair use under the first factor. Regarding the second factor, concerning the nature of the copyrighted work, the Court initially noted that factual material such as that at issue, "cuts less closely to the core of copyright." Nevertheless, the Court held that the fact that source material for Business Casual's videos was in the public domain weighed against finding fair use, because TV Novosti could have simply used public domain photos of the historical figures, rather than the modified clips, to create its videos. Regarding the third factor, concerning the amount of use in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, the Court noted that while only "small portions of the entire copyrighted works were used"—excerpts of 7 seconds, 1 minute and 28 seconds, and 8 minutes and 50 seconds in length—the portions were "not so trivial as to warrant dismissal under the de minimis doctrine." Lastly, regarding the fourth factor, concerning the effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work, the Court noted that this factor "ask[s] not whether the second work would damage the market for the first (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or criticism), but whether it usurps the market for the first by offering a competing substitute." With this framing, the Court thus found that while one the one hand, TV-Novosti's "videos are alternative ways of learning about the lives of J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller," on the other hand, they "have a broader focus and are in a different language, meaning that they cater to a different audience." These differences, the Court held, were significant enough to preclude the Court from "determining the effect of [TV-Novosti's] videos on the market for [Business Casual's] videos at this time." The Court's recognition of the weight of the fourth factor in determining fair use means that there may still be hope for TV-Novosti—time (and fact discovery) will tell. For now, the takeaway may very well be that parties seeking to raise a fair use defense should take care to emphasize any characteristics of their use that distinguish not just their work, but its target audience, including the scope of the work and the language (if any) which communicates it. *-----(PAGE BREAK)-----* xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully reserves all Interjurisdictional rights.

THE GHETTO VIOLENCE AND CRIME
by Gunnar Larson 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Art Director: William Hopkins Designer: Allen Hurlburt Photographer: Art Kane Publisher: Cowles Communications, Inc./Look Magazine THE GHETTO VIOLENCE AND CRIME It reeks of restless anger. Its tene- ments are teeming, ratty black nests for splintered families. Its rural migrants clot together as outcasts of the inner city on gutter- foul streets. But, like the dark face of the moon, the ghetto is invisible -- except when it erupts before our eyes in the fiery gasoline - bomb brightness of its people's impotent rage. Crime and violence are symp- toms of urban de- cay -- from the si- lent violence of a sick child's death to the impersonal viciousness of a rioter. But lawless- ness extends beyond the ghetto. With an all-time high of 12,093 homi- cides last year, the Great Society is a tense society. Almost three times as many of our autos are stolen each year as the U.S.S.R. produces. We cry for law & order -- but our need is law, order and justice. Only from this can grow hope for the ghetto and the decent subsistence hu- man life demands. VIOLENCE AND CRIME

Riot.
by Gunnar Larson 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Art Director/Designer: Robert W. Wilvers Photographer: Paul Seligman Copyeditor: Gene Case Agency: Jack Tinker & Partners, Inc. Client: Rockefeller for President *Riot.* I am the only Presidential candidate who has had to cope with riot. It was 4:30AM, still dark, July 25, 1964. We got a call from Rochester, New York, a city of 300,000. The call was "Local police have lost control. Will State Police take over?" *By 9:00AM, 264 State Police had taken over, and the streets of Rochester were safe." * These men used no rifles, no shotguns, no tear gas. But they were not riot-trained. They made 900 arrests. They saved lives and they saved property. They were dubbed "the cool ones." I also called up 1600 National Guardsmen and stationed them outside the city. But we did not need to use them. How we faced this riot points up three principles of mine. One. Keeping order may be a stern side of government, but it is a vital side. I make no apologies to those critics who call me "Rocy the Cop." We will have order, and make no mistake about it. Two. Speed is the key. A small force, early, can restore peace, where a large force, later, could not. Three. A state which accepts *responsibilities* as well as *rights* will make sure that local police are cool, humane, well-trained. State police and National Guard must stand ready, behind them. The resort to the army - the spectacle of U.S. troops defending the U.S. from U.S. citizens - must be as rare as possible. We must find the roots of this lawlessness. And let's not fool ourselves. The roots are not in our courts, or in the myth of softness in high places. They are in the cities. They are poverty, injustice, rot. I believe we can cure these things. I understand, I sympathize with the hopelessness they breed. But *lawlessness* I will not stand. *Nelson A. Rockefeller*
