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

    Cry harder, little bitch. Hope you get fired the same way you fired thousands of federal workers.

    If he really cared maybe he should stop stretching himself thin, get out of DOGE, and stick to selling shitty cars

      The earlier Tesla’s weren’t so shitty. Not more than your average Kia/Hyundai EV anyhow in terms of being a car. The self-driving shit is another story.

      Cybertruck has been a dumpster fire since inception though.

      Yeah, if Elon could drop the politics, hand off X, and go back to just being a major investor in tech companies that actually have some pretty cool ideas, that’s be great.

          Revenge is overrated, and justice against the mega rich is rare.

          If guy could cut down on the K, learn to not be such a dick and go back to being the figure behind businesses that actual did have good overall intent (electric vehicles, global Internet access, etc) instead of bullshit politics or seig-heils that’d be good for everyone.

            I admire your willingness to forgive or at least forget.

            I’m not going to be satisfied until the power he’s been abusing is completely taken away

              Oh he absolutely needs to be stripped of that and barred from any association with politics, just to make sure that if he goes away he stays away

      I think the damage is done even if he were to backtrack. People will just assume he’s backtracking because of money and that’s it. Not because of his actual ideals

      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].

    Oh no. Let me cry for the richest person in the world who also happens to be a fascist and spent the last few months posting on Twitter and running around the US president instead of doing his job as a CEO of a company. Total crocodile tears for this guy.

    You reap what you sow.

      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.

        Its because, if you are handed inherited wealth and all the privilege in the world, there really isn’t an excuse to NOT be better than everyone. Yet… they never are. At least nobles back in the day actually tried to be better than everyone else. Nobles these days don’t even try.

      because virtue and ability are not what get you elevated in society.

      we live with a kind of socially affected dualism, and there are three things that elevate you in society: validating the fantasy world, having money, and doing violence against reality on behalf of the fantasy.

      some degree of the fantasy(/ies) is unavoidable; it’s necessary for communication and collaboration at scale, maybe even complex thoughts. we build out waaaaaay extra to enable and justify horrible things, alienate the fantasy ever farther from reality to justify toxic power structures and appease the crowds with ever wilder delusion, ever less justifiable as scientists engineers and some public intellectuals create new models that edge ever closer to how reality works.

      musk is the ultimate beneficiary of all this nonsense. he lives in a parasitic fantasy world, one that leeches upon all of our minds. some more than others, because the distribution of resources are determined by the logic of that fantasy, rather than any reasoning based in, or at least nearby to, material reality.
