Saw someone coin the term Tesla Chainsaw Massacre with regards to the stock drop.

That one got a genuine laugh out of me.

All of a sudden I want to get one of those wacky inflatable arm-waving guys that looks like Trump. I dont know what I'd do with it, but the concept is hilarious.

Maybe Trump and Musk take one of those sh1tty cars for a test drive and they both perish in a fiery crash.

Even having this thought makes you just as bad as him and the actual actions he’s made.

Tesla Cybertruck deliveries reportedly on hold because the trim is flying off.

The trim above the truck’s windows appeared to be attached by glue.

The Cybertruck has been recalled seven times since its official launch December 2023.

The Cybertruck is an abject failure. Production was delayed, it looks awful, it's build quality is somehow even worse than other Tesla vehicles, it's expensive, it isn't selling, and if it was ANY other car maker, they would be completely dead in the water and filing for bankruptcy. TSLA's P/E is an absurd 118.56, based on what exactly? Vibes? The constant promise of robo-taxis and FSD that Musk has been promising for almost a decade now. Tesla's sales are collapsing around the world, and his sales centres are proving to be a rallying point for protests.

It's been less than two months with Musk as the chainsaw wielder in chief who has accomplished nothing of note. He's fired, re-hired, re-fired thousands of federal workers. He's made mistake after mistake (because he's a complete moron), and he's starting to wear thin on both the administration, the American public, and globally he's been rightfully branded a nazi.

He probably ODs within the year at this pace, and I for one can't ####ing wait. I wake up every day hoping to see BREAKING NEWS: ELON MUSK, DONALD TRUMP DEAD IN MURDER SUICIDE IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered six federal agencies to rehire thousands of workers with probationary status who had been fired as part of President Trump’s government-gutting initiative.

Ruling from the bench, Judge William H. Alsup of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California went further than a previous ruling. He found that the Trump administration’s firing of probationary workers had essentially been done unlawfully by fiat from the Office of Personnel Management, the government’s human resources arm. Only agencies themselves have broad hiring and firing powers, he said.

He directed the Treasury and the Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy and Interior Departments to comply with his order and offer to reinstate any probationary employees who were improperly terminated. But he added that he was open to expanding his decision later to apply to other agencies where the extent of harms had not been as fully documented yet.

His order stemmed from a lawsuit brought by federal employee unions that challenged the legality of how those agencies went about firing probationary workers en masse. The unions argued that those workers were swept up in a larger effort by Mr. Trump and his top adviser, Elon Musk, to arbitrarily ravage the federal government and demoralize its employees.
