Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO’s idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.
Thanks, Elon. You’ve convinced me. I won’t vote for Joe Biden in November.
Look at all this Republican propaganda working! First I refused to vote for Hunter Biden for President in November, and now I’m not even voting for Joe Biden in November. I’ll go even further, there is not a single man on the Democratic or Republican tickets I’m planning to vote for for President in November.
I agree. I have yet to find a man worth voting for. I guess we’ll have to wait until the DNC. The Democrats might nominate the man I’ll vote for, but I doubt it.
I’m not gonna vote for a woman either. Not until us Europeans are allowed to vote in US elections.
I’m very amused that five people apparently didn’t get the joke. I’m glad you did.
Damn and they just talked me out of voting for Hunter.
I was also ready to vote for Obama a third time until they convinced me he wasn’t born in the United States.
Funny, now I have to write Biden in so he can kill Tesla
OH NO! But if Tesla shuts down then the only source for quality electric cars would be Ford, Toyota, Lexus, BMW, Volkswagen, Porsche, Honda, Audi, Chrysler, Subaru, Mercedes, Fiat, GMC, Hyundai, Cadillac, Genesis, Rivian, Kia, Nissan, Volvo, and Kia.
You have a funny idea of “quality.”
But have you thought about the teslatuby?
I think the only ones in your list actually making quality electric cars are Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Genesis, Kia, and Rivian. The rest are rubbish and aren’t even trying. Ford built a truck that people might have bought if it was reasonably priced, and then shoved it full of garbage software and silly tricks everywhere. And the rest of those companies are only putting out one maybe two models of electric vehicles and then saying “EVs don’t sell” then cutting their programs. The ones I listed are the only manufacturers with even a slightly reasonable number of models, much less having usable vehicles. Even Tesla barely has any models, and they’re all pretty much the exact same besides their speed.
Polestar any good?
Polestar = Premium Volvo
As the vice president of my local, I agree.
Translation: Biden is utterly controlled by those dirty little working class people and would rather they have benefits and a safe work place over me and my rich friends making more money.
For those just joining us, Elmo has driven the car company Tesla into a smoking hole in the ground. Stand by for further incorrect statements and wild assertions of blame.
I’m really not sure his play. Like even he should realize that directly supporting the guy that has stated multiple times that any transportation outside of big oil is bad, alienating himself from the side that would most likely actually buy his technology due to the “green” aspect of it is insane.
His play is that he’s above money and the law and is desperate for people to laud him. Beyond that, there appears to be some unfortunate drug use and a small host of sycophants that constantly encourage him.
Business doesn’t really enter into it, afaict.
Blue collar MAGA voters these days:
It’s not even a thought, because they don’t have any. True MAGAts just do whatever they’re told.
This tool can accept he is the cause of the poor sales. He alienated his customers with his right wing rhetoric.
Teslas are impractical, cheaply made and expensive. That’s why they aren’t selling. Electric vehicles aren’t selling in general because they don’t make sense for the money. It’s a forced meme by special interests.
EV is a premium product, they are even designed to look different than other vehicles. People who buy an EV have a choice, it’s not a lowest bidder type situation.
Tesla’s used to be the cool EV. Sure, one could buy a different one but they are not as cool. Then Elon opened his mouth and the veil was lifted. Turns out he isn’t a genius, never got accepted to a PhD program, and his undergrad in physics is highly suspect. Then Elon went mask off as a fascist, right wing clown.
People buy EV’s are usually doing so for a status symbol and for the saving the environment ideology. Elon and his companies no longer represent that, and Teslas are no longer selling.
It is not a forced meme, my friend. Certainly economics play a role, but so do logistics. I live in an apartment with no way to charge an electric car, so even if I wanted one, it is moot. For now.
Take a look at electric bicycles and make a guess what will happen with electric cars. All of this depends on the price of gas, of course, and each country’s fetish with driving large trucks.
tf are you talking about? Forced meme? The numbers work for.many people and if they do they buy them. If they don’t then they don’t buy them.
Still not sure why the idiot shareholders approved the pay package…
If I was a large institutional investor with a significant amount of cash tied up in Tesla stock I would be concerned about Musk selling off his shares en mass and tanking the share price. Musk has shown nothing but how petty he can be even if it hurts himself when he doesn’t get what he wants
He axed the supercharger department.
You know, the one thing Tesla had over all other EVs, the robust chargers that were everywhere.
I’d have cut and run then.
Powerwall
For a minute I was like “Wait why does an electric car need a supercharger how would that even work”.
Then I remembered that it’s a whole different thing now.
Very hard with the size of some of the positions of the larger institutional investors, they let their greed override any common sense with the long term growth for Tesla under Musk. The whole Tesla stock is a house of cards just waiting to dramatically fall in value.
So basically a funny legal way of saying extortion?
It’s a mess of their own making, if you hold the tiger by it’s tail, you better not let go
Seriously. It was an easy way to get rid of that anchor
They hold over 40% of the stock, that’s got to be well over $200bn, no way would they risk tanking the value
You think that Twitter is worth over 500 billion? I would be surprised if it was worth 1 billion at this point. They’re still losing users.
Tesla, as that’s the one institutional investors hold all the shares for as it’s the only one of the two publicly traded.
Twitter is privately owned via loans. Twitter shows how pathetic he can be when he doesn’t get what he wants even at the expense of his own money
Oh right, I forgot which one was paying him that ridiculous compensation package. Is Tesla worth $500 billion? I would think getting rid of the obvious emotional weak link that has rather public temper tantrums would increase the stock price, but that shows what I know.
As of yesterday the market cap was over 700 bn for Tesla. He can and has tanked the share price by bulk selling shares. Nobody is going to take that risk when they hold a few hundred billion in shares as even a 10% dip is at least 20bn dip. Best they can hope for is some more over the top announcements from Musk that boost the share price enough that they can reduce their holdings before Tesla drops like a stone.
Imagine him tanking a company for revenge
It would be strange if he did it twice right?
Tank me once shame on me, tank me twice…
(Trump vowing to crush electric vehicles)
Musk: Why is Kamala planning on ruining Tesla?
While bankrolling him. Maybe it’s ma$o¢hism
Tesla and Musk owe sooooo much of their success to huge federal and state level EV tax bonuses and rebates. The government essentially subsidized his company for decades. He decided to dump all that money into an ego boost instead of R&D, and let other manufacturers catch and even surpass Tesla in technology and features. He’s done. Tesla is done.
Several American car companies owe their existence to the government.
I’d also rather Tesla be dead.
Good news! He died 7 January 1943.
:(
Teslatubby is hurt…why would we or Biden care if his company fails anyway?
He should be negotiating with his workers instead of spazzing out on socials. Who is this shite supposed to resonate with?
Oh, is that stupid fuck gonna do something fucking stupid? Ha! Fuck you, Lonnie, you fucking piece of shit. I would have bought one of your vehicles if it wouldn’t have put money in your pocket. Your dumbass truck looks like ass.
