Summary
Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.
Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.
Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.
Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
Cool. I cant wait for Tesla shareholders to file a class-action lawsuit for recklessly and negligently tanking the share price. Their portfolios have taken a significant hit, and it’s directly attributable to his poor public behavior, as well as partnering up with the loudest anti-EV voice on the planet. They have easily demonstrable damages, and it would be an easy case to win. I’ll bet there are numerous lawyers lining up their cases right now.
AND, its just a matter of time before the Tesla board fires him as CEO. He can wreck the government and Tesla, or he can run Tesla, but he cant do both.
Yet the Tesla brand has also become uniquely toxic since Musk swept into Washington, gave what was widely recognized as a Nazi salute at an inauguration event
Good to see the mainstream media finally (sort of) calling this what it was instead of tiptoeing around it
Only to get views. Tomorrow they’ll be bending a knee again.
out of curiosity, can you explain what physical stance has only one knee bent? Like, a lunge…? Genuinely new to this expression.
“Bending the knee” means kneeling before (usually) royalty. It’s a physical representation that the person standing deserves respect and therefore the person has lowered themselves to the ground on one knee.
Ah I see. I think you can understand my confusion though – this guy has two knees bent, both at almost the same angle.
Given how litigious Musk is, I think that’s as good as we’ll get.
Doubt it to prove libel or slander he would have to somehow prove it wasn’t a Nazi salute and it was specifically to hurt his reputation and not simply you know… News.
Wow, the president is really scared, he even had to call trump for a photo op in front of a Tesla
He went from selling beans to selling shitty cars. The american dream is alive and well
Nazis aside, the cars aren’t shitty, or at least not the two cheaper, popular models. They certainly aren’t best in class, but saying they are shitty really undersells the good engineering that went in them, despite apartheid boy’s best efforts.
What makes you say this? All the statistics I saw (not that many, but enough to get a vibe) were pretty poor, and that’s from before he went mask-off capital owner.
From what I’ve read, everything related to what makes the car move - the battery stuff, motors, etc - is, or maybe was, ahead of the competition. The infotainment was also the only one that didn’t suck, and didn’t have the familiar car lag.
Also the whole integration with their charging infrastructure still appears to be the absolute best - you park and plug in, nothing else. The navigation being very precise with charge estimations, and reroutes to charge spots when needed
This is the stuff I read. Not very scientific, but indicative of piss poor quality, especially given the price range. Where are you finding your stuff?
I can’t find any article that goes into any useful detail about the first part, so take that with a grain of salt. Most vaguely mention how the system has very few moving parts, the car is very aerodynamic, and praise the battery thermal management.
The rest though, that’s immediately obvious from any video review you watch
Y’know, if this gets conservatives to actually start being interested in EVs maybe that’s not as bad of a result as it could’ve been
Sounds like he didn’t work hard enough.
Maybe he should eat less avocado toast.
120 hours isn’t enough, he needs to put in more hours.
Good 👍
Thoughts and prayers
not needed, they have concepts of a plan
Elon: Does a Nazi salute then proceeds to do Nazi stuff within the confines of the U.S. government.
Also Elon: Why is everyone picking on me?
If he had just never started posting, he’d have such a better life.
He got terminal j k rowling disease 😔
Drugs are a powerful drug
I mean, it’s just really hard to understand why all these billionaires have decided to become so politically active. 1.) they have more than enough money for 10 more generations at least. 2.) if there is a serious tax hike or other threat to their wealth they can always quietly buy off some key politicians. 3.) if you stick your neck out like Musk (and some other billionaire cabinet members do) you run the chance that people will want to cut it off. If I were a billionaire I would make it my lives mission to ensure that the general public does not know my name.

So, how exactly is that different than what it currently is?
ketamine is one hell of a drug
You need to be more specific than “a child” considering he mentally already seems to be at the intellectual capacity of a 15-16 year old (except without any of the capacity to learn).
Some kind of ketamine induced dementia?
alcohol and cocaine,.
Lol he’s so panicked he’s had to order Trump to send a tweet to try to convince right wingers to buy EVs now.
How do you illegally boycott something? I know he’s a fucking moron but this is one of the stupidest things he’s ever said
In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means. So I guess if one was to “boycott israel” while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.
you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means
As performative as that is, it’s just bizarre to imagine as a business having to ask “if I just happen to have not had any contracts with Israeli entities am I in violation of my contract with this random rural Texas county’s public works department?”
There’s also a clause where you agree not to perform an abortion while on duty.
It’s really weird and probably comes from Abbott saying that all money from the state supports Israel and that no money is used to fund an abortion.
That feels like the government placing limits on the rights of corporations to express political views, which SCOTUS has stated is illegal (if you define speech as campaign contributions, which it does).
Like, what in the actual fuck. How is it illegal to boycott Tesla? But it wasn’t illegal when all the rednecks wanted to boycott bud-light for having a pro gay add? This clown is a fucking joke.
pro-trans*
Because their boycotts usually consisted of buying a lot of the stuff they were angry about and then throw it away, burn it out shoot at it. 🤣
So we can add “illegal” to the list of words Trump uses but doesn’t know the meaning of.
Man who doesn’t drive buys fascist car to show solidarity with worlds richest man.
LOL! Remember when conservatives were blocking Tesla chargers with their lifted trucks? The vast majority of conservatives who can afford EVs don’t want them anyway because it doesn’t make “vroom, vroom” sounds.
This coming from the same exact person that called for a boycott of Tesla not just two years ago, is fucking rich.
I would love an explanation of how the boycott against Tesla is illegal.
Especially considering the Anheiser Busch (or however it’s spelled) boycot over someone else’s gender identity.
The ones yelling “Snowflake!!11” for a decade turned out to be crybabies. Who woulda thunk.
and busch had the last laugh, because they got ALCOHOLICS hooked they will never stop drinking busch beers.
“L’état, c’est moi,” so anything he doesn’t like is illegal.
I fucking hate that man.
Holy shit I would laugh so hard if all these right-wing chucklefucks over-leveraged themselves on a Tesla, couldn’t pay the monthly payments, the car got repo’ed and they lost their home in the process.
He’s going to go a buy a Tesla tomorrow? I’m pretty sure he didn’t even keep the wrapped cybertruck that was gifted to him by those manosphere podcasters a while back.
Does trump even know how to drive? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him driving anything except a golf cart.
i heard he never got his license. made sense if yuor being driven everywhere in a limo.
Would have loved it if someone hit him with one of these in the debates
Lots of people in NYC don’t have a license. They don’t need them. It was a bit of a culture shock when I visited.
Is this real ? this sounds like actual schoolyard banter
First time reading one of Trump’s posts? They’re all like this. In fact they’re often worse. He often makes use of schoolyard insults, uses CAPS LOCK, and he has the vocabulary of a 5th grader. To anyone with half a fucking braincell, he’s a giant manbaby.

hes more booze than blood at this point.
I’m amazed the stock is still as high as it is. Anyone buying a Tesla right now is making an unpopular statement in most the world.
ive seen an increasing amount cyberdumpsters in my blue area since last year, one regularly picks up the gf in my neighborhood. the people buying it is mostly ignorant of musks tantrum and his bigotry.
Trump just f***ed Tesla. It had some coolness left in the brand but Truml just removed that on the White House lawn.
Teslas have been the official MAGAmobile for a while now. The brand has been tainted for at least the last 6 months. Its just reaching a critical point where the stock is finally starting to crash. It will eventually end up around $20, which is where it belongs.
Man. Poor guy. Really gotta feel for the nazi billionaires trying to destroy the world when their feefees get hurt. Chin up, champ!
Today so many good news
He lost $23 billion from Tesla and $23 billion from tweeting about Carlos Slim
Aw, hes down to only $400 billion. However will he survive?
Has anyone told him about the pulling of bootstraps? I feel that if he really, realllly pulled then he could make that 46 bill back by the end of the week!
