Haha I love that we all thought the same thing.
The Nazi salute by Musk didn't sink this company?
I mean... if Trump can mock a disabled person and publicly brag about sexually assaulting women, then play right out of Hitler's playbook, be impeached twice, and still be elected again, who knows?
The people that voted for trump don’t buy EVs tho
Cybertruck might be an exception. I'm surprised Musk hasn't made a version of the Cybertruck that can roll coal.
Even if musk resigns from the doge Nazi bullshit, this fascist has shown his true colours.
Tesla can eat shit and go tits up. Fuck Tesla and fuck the share holders! I look at the current crop of shareholders as greedy Nazis.
Bankrupt musk.
If you look at the TSLA stock, it's now roughly where it was 4 years ago.
It's sinking, don't you worry

I find it hilarious that most media outlets blame the fall on Leon not being present at Tesla, when it’s his very existence that has caused things to plummet. The last thing he should do is return to Tesla. The board should fire his ass and try to rebuild what’s left of the brand.
The board is his brother and a bunch of conservatives. He hand picked them.
They ain't firing anyone.
Well… Then they all go down with the ship.
Iirc basically all the board members and higher ups that get stock sell it off as soon as they get it. None of them have bought more for quite a while. So unfortunately it seems like they'll float on.
Media outlets are not your friend.
They're like human resources in that regard...
Well... If he was present at Tesla he wouldn't be present at Nazi rallies.
present at Nazi rallies.
Isn't that just a Tesla board meeting?
The american media is going way out of their way to ignore that nazi salute.

Leon?
That is way too cool a name for whiny Elmo, just call whiny Elmo by his name; whiny Elmo
Tesla is never going to recover from the Musk effect. They have to convince Musk to fully divest to slowly convince would-be buyers that they won't give their money to an ultra-billionnaire neo-Nazi when they buy a Tesla vehicle.
They won't survive without musk. They're a hype company.
They have decent infrastructure, but the car brand is as good as dead.
They'll sell their charging infrastructure to ExxonMobil or something before 2028.
Well that was a foregone conclusion when he fired the charging infrastructure team after snorting some bad ket.

Oh no! Anyway…
You and me ... same page
Is that why he just lied about Tesla having cars that will deliver themselves? More insider trading?
Nah, more musk lies, he does this every single event, has been lying about everything for the past decade. It's normal

Elon had to stop the regulatory investigations into him. He had to keep himself out of jail. We wanted to secure more government contracts to tower projects.
Tesla was a means to an end for Elon, and Elon doesn't care at all about anyone except himself.
And Elon took care of anyone in the government who could enforce the rules that were supposed to enforce procedures with stock and loans.
Tesla stock was at $144 a year ago and is at $253 today. 5 years ago it was at $47. With income at $0.12 per share it is not like any of those are even close to reality. However they are what needs to fall to kill the Elon.

And yet the stock is up in after hours trading. So fucking dumb
This result has probably been priced in since it hit the current floor in March. The bump after the report is likely because there were no bombshells in it. They're saying they're still on track for all the vaporware that the valuation is based on. It will drop again when they're inevitably delayed and it becomes clear the robots and AI taxis aren't revolutionary but just exactly what other companies already beat them to.
Only 20%?
Isn't most of Tesla made in countries other than the US?
Tariffs are going to hit bad
I'm sure Tesla will make the governments tariff exempt list
All vehicles sold in North America are assembled in Fremont CA or Austin TX. But they still pay tariffs on components they import.
That market is tanking hard, too

"Trump was right about everything"
Nice hat fElon, you fucking moron
Yeah 20%
WINK
Let it burn! You get what you deserve.
Surprised it's only 20%. Who the f is buying it.
Tesla profits are down 71% year-over-year, and the only reason they didn't actually lose money is due to some carbon credit shenanigans.
They're being kept afloat by the government
