I will feel a lot better when their stock price goes much, much, much lower. Sure they are down 40+% in the past 3 months, but they were WAY too high prior to that.

Their P/E should be in the single digits if they were like most American companies. Until I see that, I'll know that they are nothing but a fucking chud memestock.

What's going to be really funny, is when it becomes worthless.

See, most of Elon's money is in Tesla Stock, stock that he manipulated by telling tall tales of colonizing Mars.

In order to buy Twitter he had to take out a loan for the money and use his Tesla stock as collateral. Now, the thing about that is, the stock is only able to serve this purpose because it's worth so much. If it wasn't, then Elon basically defaults on the loan.

This means he will no longer own Twitter, his bank will.

They're still up 25% year on year.

That was an insane rally and crash though.

If you were foolish enough to buy a Tesla, and too dumb to get rid of it already, make another poor decision and go to https://stealmytesla.com/ for the final solution to your problem.

I'm imagining situations like that episode of Seinfeld with the BO car. He couldn't even get people to steal that thing.

The swastikar idiots need to be called out constantly. They know exactly what they are doing. There are no coincidences. These are the willing participants in the far right agenda….

If they could afford a Tesla in the first place, they can afford to replace it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I dont know about afford, surely there's some idiot who took out a loan for this

I imagine Trump will buy the useless cyberdumpsters and give them to cops to use. They are such badly engineered and frequently broken POS's I wouldnt even mind. Let "law enforcement" deal with them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You seem to imagine pigs out there suffering some burden. That burden will simply be the taxpayers. 🤯

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I think by "Let 'law enforcement' deal with them" they're referring less to the cost than to the functional unreliability.

That would just make it so minorities will be driven around in that death box.

god i hope every cop cuts themselves on the edges

Minor correction; trump won't buy them, the American taxpayer will buy them.

I wonder if the cybertruck will be the Delorian of the future.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 days ago (16 children)

Well no, it won't because people actually like the Delorian due to it being redeemed by one of the greatest time travel movies ever made.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

We can make it happen with the Cyber truck!

BACK TO THE FÜHRER starring Kid Rock as Marty and Musk as the Doc and the truck doesn't make it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Here me out. What if they remaster back to the future and the plutonium guys at the beginning drive a cybertruck instead of the white truck?

Probably not, the Delorean was pretty cool even when it was new, I believe.

Also, a Cybertruck is massively complex, so keeping an old one running would be difficult.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Pretty sure there's probably a Killswitch built in so that it won't run past a certain date without giving Tesla more money, so once the company tanks they'll all be dead in the water.

There was Dealership near me that had a bunch of their teslas keyed and damaged and smashed. Curious. Now that dealership can claim insurance money on the cars he can’t sell!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Maybe but it is up 17% right now. Are investors really this stupid?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

This relates to the "zigzagging spikyness" you often see with the stock market. Each time a stock falls, many people are going to ask themselves "Hey, do I think that other people are wrong about this property being worthless? Maybe this is a good chance to buy, before they bounce back."

There's a mental appeal to the middle, it's just a question of what the correct "middle" is. That's also why many investors were cautioning people against selling during Trump's week-long tariffs (of course, if you believe the USA is on its last legs, that may be a good idea). You're probably seeing those purchases from those that feel the Tesla Takedowns will run out of steam, which is why it's important to keep them up.

(Reminder if you haven't been to one...)

In a few decades we'll get a new Back to the Future movie.

Doc, you made a time machine, out of a cybertruck?

If this baby hits 88mph you're gonna see some serious shit...fall off.
