    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.

    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.

    The market has spoken.

    Musk is fishing for government compensation, isn’t he?

      And ex co-workers. And most of his family. DOGE is making the person Musk more known and (judging by these precedents) knowing Musk better doesn’t seem to be conducive to liking him more

      His interfering with European politics is despised over here - promoting far-right groups in Germany, France and the UK deliberately to destabilise our countries. The man is genuinely dangerous to all democracies, not just the US.

    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.

    Tesla go down, Lexus go up

    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?

      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 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.
