Good.
Man sets fire to his own house .... complains that his house is on fire
Needs more gasoline.
Or runaway lithium reactions
I'll look into it..
It's probably an insurance fire.
This crying is all theater. There will be an angle to it for Musk and the other oligarchs.
Really? It’s not about people pushing the propaganda? It’s about you doing a shit job?
Wow. Who woulda thunk it
clown is crying now his loans will be affected. suck it up. it is just business.
it is mostly you, Nazi Felon Musk, not just your random unscientific cuts.
Most people don't like swaticars.
Elon should be fired, if Felon Musk was Felon Musk boss, he would fire Felon Musk.
.
It’s easy too since he’s only been in the job for 2 months
He'll just create another company to purchase the failing company from himself, pocket the money he paid himself, and write it off on taxes.
This is all perfectly normal and signs of a functioning country.
That’s… what I’m here for.
It took him this long to finally understand that?
Despite his claims to the contrary, Elon Musk is not a smart man.
Honestly i question what he really knows/understands.
He has a undergraduate degree in physics. But nothing in computer science and majority of his companys are mostly computer science. I feel like he just has a fasod that hes "smart" but pays other people to tell him stuff and he just relays that as if it were him that knew this information. Very similar to path of exile de-bockel
Does he have a real degree in physics? I thought it was honorary or something.
a theoretical degree in physics
Just like Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He's not a complete moron like Trump, but he's no Stephen Hawking either.
*facade
Think that mask dropped a while ago. He used to have a PR/management team that would stop the stupid shit he'd say from becoming public or affecting the actual businesses. He fired them around the Twitter takeover iirc and that's when we've all been able to easily see how stupid and bigoted he actually is.
Yeah, no shit Einstein. Did he just now figure that out?
"Gosh, this guy is a GENIUS!" - fElon's dicksucking fanbois.
The board are just his friends and yes-men.
He's rich. He's going to have "friends".
Anyone care?
I care a lot! I want to see him get margin called, so he has to pay his loans
Nope don't give a rats behind..
It's the nazi salute, elon. It was the nazi salute all along.
I agree. It rarely is ever just one thing. I do put the nazi salute at the top of the list though.
The tesla grants from the government should be chainsawed! Just like the SpaceX and starlink grants! $38B in savings....
I mean, yeah. That was kinda the point.
I’m glad he connected the dots, but he’s incapable of having a true moment of self reflection.
Not nearly enough. It's staying pretty steady
everyone short on 4/20 at 6:09 lol
It's level of self awareness almost makes think its human
In the TV they interviewed a Tesla dealership employee: "no, the orders didn't went down, we're unaffected"
Bruh.
Car registration data is public. Registrations of Teslas went down 40% yoy even with a €4000 discount.
Yes. What’s your question?
He is getting close, it's A reason he's hated, but Europe also hates him.
And ex co-workers. And most of his family. DOGE is making the person Musk more known and (judging by these precedents) knowing Musk better doesn't seem to be conducive to liking him more
His interfering with European politics is despised over here - promoting far-right groups in Germany, France and the UK deliberately to destabilise our countries. The man is genuinely dangerous to all democracies, not just the US.
cause meet effect
I can't believe investors were OK with him selling twitter to another company he co-owns.
Boo fucking hooooooo!!!
Poor baby. I still don't understand why all the austerity measures. Because when donvict came into office, he was handed an economy with very, very great numbers.
I mean, in their fictional universe - the real reason is likely to defang any oversight of these criminals and steal as much money for themselves. The cover story they tell the idiot base is what?
The austerity is an attempt to offset the money the US will lose from tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.
It’s their way of giving the appearance of a balanced budget.
In reality, the austerity measures are just another transfer of wealth to the ultra wealthy.
When you realize that Krasnov has been a long term Russian agent, it all makes sense.
tHe BeSt, ThE vErY bEsT
That's the thing about idiots…
If trump legit won the election, he only won by about half. I think it's fair to assume probably all dem voters do not like musk now, and I'm sure many Republicans don't either. The majority is against musk.
Fuck around and find out.
Die Tesla! DIE!!!!
oh, very good reference, well done
Burn baby BURN!!
That's definitely part of it. I would say the trucks that are literally becoming unglued (while the CEO is figuratively) are causing equal, if not greater, damage.
…and that’s a good thing
🎻
Good. Fuck him.
Clearly a genius.
Good. Make it really hurt.
Must be why most ceos don't do stuff like that
Nah they just do it more quietly
Pretty sure that's the express goal with all the protests and the burning cars and the like.
When I think on it though, given his personality this comment is probably just a big FU to the protesting public, "See? You can't stop me, I still have hundreds of billions and will fuck things up at will."
Liquidate Musk
Good. Left it go bankrupt. Fuck Musk.
Thoughts and prayers
has he tried doing more nazi salutes? maybe thats good for the brand,...
lol yeah right institutional investors are selling their stocks because of political reasons. LOL no stock went down long before Teslas were burning and before the data of dropping sales came out. It's because you are a fuck head Elon you are the CEO of Tesla you are supposed to run the company not pretend you are the president. These big investors really don't like it when the CEO of a company they own is being distracted doing other things.
Nice hat, captain obvious.
As if I needed another reason to dislike the Packers. FTP
What sucks is on the way down, between Trump’s tariff and preference for ICEs and foreign markets retaliating, he’ll take down the other US EV players. The ones run by what seems like genuinely nice people like Rivian and Lucid.
In the greater scheme of things it wouldn’t matter so much, but quite a shame.
Good. Rivian CEO said fElon's ties with Drumpf is good for the EV industry. LOL fuck 'em Rivian can sink as well.
Fair point. I suspected he was putting on a brave face for investors, but either way his company is a bit screwed now
Yes
Next?
Rule of law doesn't matter anymore.
Why are we still committed to this social construct, there are primal solutions to those who don't adhere ....
Good. Since that's the only feedback he notices, then good.
It's still up year on year, and last six months, although heading downwards.
