Tes-ron q1 deliveries were real bad. Add to the recall, obvious grant fraud... I think this thing is going down before summer.

I think that was a red herring. The Financial Times was the original source of that reporting, then issued a retraction.

They can't move Cybertrucks, there's reports they have $200M in inventory liability in CT alone. Institutional investors should be running for the hills. Tesla is going down, it's just a matter of when.
I wonder if BYD just buys them out.

Nope, it's far too late, to be honest.

Some of the people on the outside could have and still could do more.

Democrats ran three elections basically on "If you don't vote for us, you're a bad person," lost two, and now think the problem is they weren't hard enough on vulnerable peoples.

That their strategy right now is essentially "his approval rating is eventually gonna drop!" is just beyond pathetic.

At least Bernie and AOC are out holding rallies and trying to galvanize support. The rest of the party seems content to sit on their hands and hope Republicans come to their senses for the 8000th time.

On one hand, Tesla stock is where it is because of Musk, on the other, the same sentiment also applies.

I know many have jumped ship from twitter long ago, which I agree is the wise decision. But I still have my account and will have a poke around every once in awhile, if anything just to see how much of a dumpster fire it's become.

A very interesting and totally not suspicious all pattern I've been noticing is whenever Mango Mussolini and his merry band of ding-dongs announce something that will screw over the American people the top story in the trending section is always a right-wing rage baiting story usually based around identity politics to be used as a distraction.

For example, today one of the top trending stories is about a white student being stabbed by a black student at a track meet in Frisco.... and the people bots on there absolutely eat it up. Now in now way am I making light of that specific tragedy, but it's rather interesting I've seen little to nothing on there about the 90+ mass shooting that have occurred already this year in the US.

I know this isn't some major revelation, but it just boggles the mind how naive people are to how much Elon sucks.

Didn’t know his grandfather, known as the Flying Haldeman, was a complete wacko as well.

I tried to get the link here to the NYT article but it kept screwing up. Interesting read.

Apparently the technocrats have wanted to annex Canada and Mexico since the 30s.

The Techocrats almost succeeded in the US, but fortunately, Roosevelt was elected and the New Deal was put into place.


Trump must remind Musk of his granddaddy. Musk after all acts like he’s about twelve:

It should blow my mind that the richest man in the world has to post "They really love me!" videos on his own social media platform, cause that's incredibly pathetic, but obviously it's on brand for Elon.

dude pays people to play video games for him so he can claim he's one of the best in the world. I'd be surprised if he didn't post such videos.

I'd be more surprised if he wasn't paying them to do it.

There are what - maybe 30 people in that video. That is a long line at a coffee shop, not an endorsement of widespread approval.
