Tesla’s finished. There is no coming back from this. The damage he’s done to their brand image with his self-indulgent ego bender is irreparable.
The media used to be willing to overlook all the recalls, crappy build quality, sketchy software, fraudulent sales practices, etc., but no more. Most media stories for the foreseeable future will focus on the negative, and with mounting quality control problems, and increading lawsuits from every direction, they’ll have lots of fodder.
Tesla will be bankrupt in 2 years.
it was doomed the moment he bought twitter and immediately started working with putin against ukraine by turning of the satellite coverage in the area.
Didn’t the US subsidize starlink for supporting the DoDs endeavors like Ukraine. Elon should not be allowed near the shutoff switch if he takes government handouts
yes he was subsidized, shortly after meeting putin, musk turned off the satellites.
The best thing he could do for Tesla would be resign from Tesla
That would be true for a company with any connection to reality, but Tesla is so far detached from reality that his departure would tank the stock price. Supposedly the stock price increased from the abysmal earnings report because during the earnings call he claimed he’d be spending less time with doge and more with the company.
Ah yes, the mastermind behind the cybertruck is what the company needs more of. Elon “Funding Secured” Musk is good at milking the government teat and pulling tricks (some of which are outright illegal) to boost the stock price. That’s great for bringing money into Tesla, but what is Tesla doing with that money? With Musk’s direction, that money is being flushed down the toilet. They actually lost money last quarter, but thanks to carbon credits (government teat coming to the rescue yet again), they managed to turn a profit. Eventually the runway runs out.
Fox returns to henhouse to fix coop.
Whatever happens to Tesla is irrelevant, he has all the data and access he could ever dream of to get wherever he wants and train his AI
It’s not just Twitter and Tesla anymore. Anything he touches will make most people revolt and move away Although some people can’t be saved and will follow him. But basically I think he’s done.
I recently bought a camper van and 6 months ago, I would have told you that I’d 100% be getting starlink. Now, I’m going to limp by on mobile Hotspot and make sure I’m in range of a tower on working days.
and if not … life is great without internet too
I’ll be working remotely as I meander around so I need internet on work days.
Lol what’s he going to do at Tesla? More false promises of self-driving by the end of the year? Robot butlers that are totally not just being controlled remotely by some guy in a VR suit?
He was always a net negative to operations, but he’s substantially declined in his drug abuse and mental health since his foray into politics. He’s going to wreck anything he touches with his hubris.
Of course it could take a long time for his faithful to come to terms with that.
seems like he upped his drug use when the trump election happened.
Maybe they hope they can tuck him away and go back to “managing” him. Maybe they can patch his image a bit if they can keep him away from anything important enough to piss people off.
I’m sick of Elon Musk’s fucking face.
Is he going back to his bunker to off himself like his idol, Hitler.
Here’s hoping!
God would smile
I like what Walz tweeted about this, something like he’s gonna pause destroying your retirement so he can go save his.
I will never buy a tesler. there are way better EVs on the market already.
But it’s all computer.
He has been DOGED.
Even if the boarding directors fired Musk and did everything they could to disentangle his diseased legacy from the company, Teslas would still be overpriced shitboxes with serious quality control issues.
As long as he owns tesla stock, I’m buying elsewhere.
