Nah. So much of even The Left are desperate to get their swasticars and tesla stock back and will be ecstatic over saying that now musk is no worse than any other CEO. Like, did you hear about how horrible Toyota is?

Its one of the things that make me the most depressed about the state of humanity. Even around here we had straight up mods insisting that attacking teslas was wrong and nobody should fault anyone who bought one or some stock and blah blah blah.

Musk will even still be helping Trump in an advisory role.

As long as DOGE exists, i would even say as long as a republican is president at this point, project 2025 will continue no matter what.

The dismantling of democracy has begun, and the changing of faces changes nothing.

The Heritage Foundation aka the PayPal Mafia owns the Republican party.

No shit? And musk as the voice pushing past trump just to talk for him isn’t even the real threat. It is the project 2025 folk and their oligarch backers (of which musk is PROBABLY one).

But that doesn’t change the talking points we are going to see constantly as so many voices and people insist that musk is no longer a threat and the car they bought as a social status flex and the stock they bought to get rich quick are now good things again and you are just hurting The Movement by hurting anyone who isn’t an oligarch.

Just like all the mother fuckers who were talking shit about people spray painting or bricking targets… up until a different mother fucker used that as an excuse to shoot some n****rs and they went back to just complaining that they are totally pro union but it is really inconvenient for people to block a Starbucks and it is just going to hurt those unions to inconvenience The Good People.

Why would they attack Toyota? Motherfuckers made the hilux, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a vehicle with more combat experience except the hummvee.

The prick is a fucking nazi, and needs to face the 1945 consequenses of being the nazi minister of propaganda. He doesn’t just get to pull back a bit and sit in his cosy Tesla office, acting like he isn’t the most deplorable waste of oxygen the world has ever seen.

I would laugh hysterically if news of his death lead to an immediate jump in the stock price as well.

I would also just be very very happy to not have to share the same planet with that opportunistic Nazi asshat.

I don’t own Tesla stock anymore, haven’t for quite some time, but man…if he died I’d be pretty open to buying some again.

I get the sentiment but as a car guy who grew up in a dealership they’re garbage. Poorly made, hard to service, unsafe, Nazi garbage. They can die with Nissan and the only thing of any value the world loses is the GTR

Honestly, the main thing I appreciated about the company initially was that someone was pushing the EV industry into the mainstream. At this point, yeah, nothing of value would be lost. There are so many good EV options now, fuck Tesla.

Is this how quickly people forget? Never again buy a Tesla, or Tesla stock, and never stop letting those who do know what you think of them for doing that.

Not people; shitheads like Blackrock are the ones artificially keeping Tesla inflated.

Tesla announced today their Q1 sales were over 336,000 vehicles. If they sell that many every quarter (no idea, but for the sake of argument let’s say they do) that means 1.3 million vehicles are sold every year. By contrast, the Big 3 sell over 700,000 half-ton pickup trucks each annually. In other words, consumers buy more F-150s, RAM 1500s, and Silverado 1500s a year than total Tesla sales.

One model line from those three combined far outsells Tesla, and yet Tesla has more “value” than those three collectively? Yeah, that’s not fishy at all.
