Excellent. Fuck Musk and all his companies. Biggest leech on the planet. He didnโ€™t make his money, he stole it.

He did. But he stole it from the US government / tax payers. Every president since Obama has fallen over themselves to pour tax payer money into his arsehole. And he is living the high life because of it. This is literally what the US wants. They love subsidising this bitch.

His entire life, since the day he was born, has been built entirely on exploitation.

Hey UK!

Can we just try not to be last for once, please?

One of the issues with these percentage stats is that we were not as big of purchasers of Tesla as the rest of Europe so itโ€™s going to be harder for us to have as large of drops.

If you look, France has dropped that much just to catch up with us.

Even before the others dropped you were 3rd most out of 8.

Now youโ€™re 1st most.

Germany still has higher sales than us, and we arenโ€™t much higher than France, but Iโ€™m not trying to make excuses just pointing out that percent comparisons arenโ€™t great. I think we could all do better in getting Tesla sales down to zero.

Yep, the screenshot of a clipped screenshot is pretty bad. I agree.

Iโ€™m doing my part. I canโ€™t afford a Swasticar anyway.

I can afford a bunch of Nazi stickers, though!

Iโ€™m thinking about putting a kit together to leave under windscreen wipersโ€ฆ

Option 1: dental floss to remove the Tesla badge. Option 2: a swastika sticker to put next to the Tesla badge.

That way we will know for certain if they are Nazis or not.

This is the best way to strike back against Musk.

Hit his pocketbook. Tank his net worth.

Tank his net worth.

Itโ€™s not just his personal worth. Twitter purchase was/is largely dependent on Tesla stock. So heโ€™s not only losing his own credit and should the trend continue some big players in investment business wonโ€™t be happy either. He has been an useful idiot on raising the stock prices, but he is very much sacrificial if the things go too far. I donโ€™t know why he hasnโ€™t been replaced already, but the trend in US of A seems to be that you can do whatever stupid shit you can come up with and keep doing that without consequences. So maybe the big players are still benefiting from what he and the other guy are doing.

When The stock market crashโ€™s you can buy into companies quite cheap.

The thing is, not really sadly. He pretty much gave up on tesla. Most of his money doesnโ€™t come from Tesla but from spaceX, and he uses his new place and contacts at the government to get contracts and stuff with SpaceX and destroy the concurrence.

Tesla may be a bigger company, but he has more share in SpaceX, he has been selling Tesla for years.

The EV market is crashing. If you exclude Tesla from the figures, the EV market is up 13%.

Nah, the drug abuse is just another fuck-up in a long string of fuck-ups. The dudeโ€™s always been a weirdo, he just didnโ€™t have the balls to go full Monty until the entire world started fluffing him up as the IRL Tony Stark. He feels invincible and itโ€™s pretty much our fault. I know I had some hope in what he was doing (even if just for a lack of better options), do I feel stupid nowโ€ฆ

I still find it hilarious that he supposedly has a 165 IQ when everytime he opens his mouth he sounds so unintelligent and stumbles over words and uses meme language. I have never heard that man say a single intelligent thing in all the time I have known of his existence.

I wonder what Chinese bloke he hired to take his IQ test for him.

Even if that was ever accurate, pretty sure long term drug use can fuck the brain a bit.
