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.
It's the nazi salute, elon. It was the nazi salute all along.
Die Tesla! DIE!!!!
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.
Boo fucking hooooooo!!!
has he tried doing more nazi salutes? maybe thats good for the brand,...
If the Tesla board has any intelligence left, they will push him out.
They deserve all the hurt incurred so far for not doing it yet, and will deserve to go under if they don’t in time.
The board are just his friends and yes-men.
Thoughts and prayers
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. Fuck him.
Must be why most ceos don't do stuff like that
Nah they just do it more quietly
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.
Good. Make it really hurt.
It's still up year on year, and last six months, although heading downwards.
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?
When you realize that Krasnov has been a long term Russian agent, it all makes sense.
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.

That's the thing about idiots…
Good.
Man sets fire to his own house .... complains that his house is on fire
It's probably an insurance fire.
This crying is all theater. There will be an angle to it for Musk and the other oligarchs.
Needs more gasoline.
Or runaway lithium reactions
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.
Liquidate Musk
Really? It’s not about people pushing the propaganda? It’s about you doing a shit job?
Wow. Who woulda thunk it
Not nearly enough. It's staying pretty steady
everyone short on 4/20 at 6:09 lol
Yeah, no shit Einstein. Did he just now figure that out?
"Gosh, this guy is a GENIUS!" - fElon's dicksucking fanbois.
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.
.
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.
It’s easy too since he’s only been in the job for 2 months
It's level of self awareness almost makes think its human
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
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.

That’s… what I’m here for.
Anyone care?

…and that’s a good thing

I can't believe investors were OK with him selling twitter to another company he co-owns.
