It’s too late to fix this. Elon Musk will forever be associated with his Nazi salute and his support for this fascist administration.
And yet, the stock went up 5.37% today!
The tech bros love that Musk.
He has 14 mouths to feed. It would be a shame if he lost his job.
Whatever it is, it’s not bad enough. Musk has pulled off arguably the most massive data heist in history, and he’s almost certainly [shared some of the bounty with his buddy Putin](https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security). I won’t be satisfied until everything that Musk owns has come crashing down in flames.
I wonder where they are parking all the unsold cars. I see many truckloads heading north on Hyw 5 in Oregon everyday. No way they are selling all those in the area of the country. So they must have a massive lot somewhere in the PNW.
So the world economy is in the hands of a man who bankrupt casinos, aided by a man who has taken the value of two major companies to half?
There’s a segment of buyers who are scooping up used Tesla’s — because they’re going cheap and they don’t give a fuck politically. A couple of em live on my street. It’s all BMWs and Teslas at their place -the driveway, the street….fuck em
Elon is going to find out it’s going to be difficult to recover from his self inflicted wounds. When he and DOGE took a chain saw to US government agencies, the majority of Tesla buyers, meaning the ‚left wing liberals‘ who make up the vast majority of Teslas‘ vehicle sales were paying attention. Turns out ‚left wing liberals‘ like living in a Democracy and frown upon authoritarian behavior.
The boycott really only gained steam in the second half of the quarter. Q2 with a full quarter’s impact should be even worse.
Elon made the worst business decision ever in associating himself with fascism. His biggest customers for Tesla electric cars were liberals and progressives concerned about the earth and the environment, but now they don’t want to touch his stuff. Meanwhile, many of those MAGA good old boys and gals wouldn’t be caught dead in an electric car.
I saw a breakdown, they said they made 4-5 hundred million but it was all from interest and investments. Not sales. Without the cash bump they would have lost 600 Million.
> If Tesla’s future rests on left-leaning EV fans forgiving Musk for backing Trump, boosting the AfD party in Germany, and gleefully putting hundreds of thousands of federal employees out of work, then Musk may find himself longing for the days when his biggest problem was building a wild-looking stainless-steel truck.
This is my exact sentiment. What the hell was he thinking. Was he high on his own PR?
I don’t think this moron really ever understood conservative vs liberal or right vs left and which side was his customer base. I don’t think he really ever understood US politics at all. I mean why would you completely alienate your money givers? He must really be as dumb as a lot of people say.
If it wasn’t for carbon credits, Tesla wouldn’t have made a profit at all. It’s surprising that Trump hasn’t ended the practice of companies buying carbon credits yet. If that income source goes away, then Tesla is finished and Musk would have to sell all the assets to pay off the loans that used Tesla stock as collateral. And, He’d probably still have to sell off some of Space X and Starlink stocks to fully cover it.
Tesla is shit and only for early adopters of shit the build quality is shit the brand is shit and the owner is shit everything about it is shit the idea is ok but now we have to mine for cobalt for batteries so it’s a lie that it’s environmentally sustainable so quit telling yourself it is better it is not you are just a mark a loser 🙂
Turns out people won’t like it if your ceo is a narcissistic petty sociopathic government destroying Nazi.
Step 1: Develop a brand that is idolized by the Left and environmentally conscious.
Step 2: Have the CEO go unambiguously fascist. Have them throw Nazi salutes on live TV just so there can be no confusion.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit (losses the likes of which no one has ever seen)
Not bad enough
Pride leads to downfall. He thought he was smart but missed the insight that destroying parts of the U.S. GOV would alienate him from the west and irreparably damage the Tesla brand.
Congratulations on becoming public enemy #2. Your company will never recover. That pleases me a great deal.
It is still not enough. Tesla’s needs to go bankrupt
Elon Musk and the terrible, horrible, no good, remarkably bad quarter.🤣
The part that’s worse:
>Finally, there’s the bigger problem of China. Musk’s company effectively showed that country how to make modern EVs, and although Teslas still sell well enough there, Musk is up against dozens of new Tesla-like companies that have taken his ideas and run wild. Electric cars in China can be had with more advanced features than what Tesla offers, faster charging times, and more advanced approaches to automated driving. (Case in point: I am writing this story in Shanghai, from the passenger’s seat of an EV that can swap its depleted battery for a fresh one in mere minutes.)
I wouldn’t be surprised if he would suddenly propose sticking diesel engines into his cybertrucks just to make a sale to the redneck right he’s been trying to pander to. His moral compass is just non-existent
