While Elon indulges in political theater and self-aggrandizing quips, Tesla is experiencing an unprecedented slump in both sales and stock value.

He should list five things he's done for TSLA this week.

Absentee CEO.

Get the president to advertise the brand

This is the same as "Damage the brand by association"

Oh no, maybe he should've tried minding his own business instead of trying to destroy democracy in multiple countries at once!

Never would have happened if he'd stayed the fuck out of politics. Hope he has panic attacks every day.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The dumbest part is, he absolutely could have gotten involved in politics and still been fine. Zuckerberg and Bezos have both publicly supported fascism and not seen nearly as much backlash. All Musk had to avoid was making two brazen Nazi salutes on national television and then becoming the face of the most moronic, questionably legal, regularly reversed (by both the courts and DOGE itself) funding cuts in the history of our nation.

But billionaires are actually narcissistic and lucky, not smart and hardworking, so here we are. The richest man in the world, probably high most of the time, crying on TV. If someone had written a novel with this plot 20 years ago I would've dismissed it as too stupid.

So… stop? You have more money than anyone could ever spend. Just fuck off already. Stop being so fucking evil.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

He can't. He's all in for fascism. There's no going back to the shadows for him, he'll always be known as a Nazi oligarch. He said he would be going to jail if Trump didn't win. We know he's got ties with Putin so he might be being blackmailed into being the bad guy [not that he was good before, but at least he l wasn't toppling democracies before].

Cry more you Nazi bitch

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 weeks ago

Behaving like a shithead has consequences. Hanging out with corrupt shitheads has consequences.

Welcome to the real world Elon. Now cry me a river and get the fuck over it.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope elon musk dies alone and unloved in tremendous pain. When he dies I will be throwing a party. Him and Trump.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

And afraid. They should be full of fear, pain, and loneliness when they go into the dark.

This is all an act.

The ketamine ran out and reality rushed in

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 weeks ago

Nobody forced you to be a Nazi or involve yourself in politics. Go fuck yourself

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Dressed in sunglasses, a gold chain, and a t-shirt proclaiming, “I’m not procrastinating, I’m doing side quests,” he paraded on stage.

What's the side quest for Elon; being on stage for the republicans or trying to get to Mars?

Still worth billions but whining. Go sit in a corner, Nazi.

Crocodile tears 🙄

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 weeks ago

It's still up compared to 6 months ago. Kindly, fuck off with your crocodile tears.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago

Go choke on a turd, you Nazi scum.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago

Little sociopath tears. In other words, bull!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago

Coming down from your nazi ketamine meth binge must be a hell of thing...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago

I hope he gets so sad he just ends it for us

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

How the fuck is this moron in the position that he is?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

People with inherited wealth are treated like they are smart, capable, and credible when billionaire nepo babies are really the worst at everything except sucking and dying.

'Close to tears' is not enough. He needs to endure decades of real tears.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago

I love watching Nazis cry.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago

good, hope that rich bastard has all the trouble possible to make his life miserable

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

Then just fucking die already. Bitch ass.

"I am close to tears. That is a human reaction, right?"

He wasn't close to tears, he just needed time to think of something to say that won't tank his wealth.

I hope his panic attacks have panic attacks. I hope he goes to bed and never rises for fear of the mess he's made. I hope he stumbles in his fear, and fucks with someone with little enough left to lose they do something about it.

Fuck you F'Elon Ballstink, if your dreams come true I will personally stowaway on a rocket to Mars after your death to shit on your grave.
