President Elon Musk
He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly
Leon’s bullshit is also having the dual effect of revealing what an overpriced propped up sham $ASSLA was to begin with. Falling 70% YTD is well within its range with Leon as CEO and Assla falling furher and furher in the EV market
Plus iirc Tesla stock was the collateral he used to get funding for buying Twitter. We’ll see how much that’ll matter
I didn’t realize Kimbal was on the board. It’s weird because he runs restaurants. My wife used to know him.
Back when you would get ~80 miles to a charge and the most often-touted reason to buy one was that it would save the planet, despite the carbon offset having a payback period of far longer than the vehicle could realistically be run? Yeah, I do remember that.

Or back before maga's idol embraced the nazi.
I like pretending that they weren't crapping on EVs five minutes ago, it was like a decade ago. Hysterical.
Trump was literally shitting on EVs during the 2024 campaign. What is this performative revisionism
The right was shitting on EVs for a long while, but mostly because of mandates and subsidies.

Musk bought Solarcity for 2.5 billion to bail out Kimbal on the shareholder dime.

No they **** on EVs because libs liked them and they are bootlickers who follow the every whim of their overlord masters
Yes. As we all know, every single person right-of-center thinks in total lockstep with Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, large swathes of lefties have made the full-spectrum swing from Tesla zealotry to willfully committing felonies in broad daylight; all because an autistic man that they now insist had no meaningful impact on Tesla's early success or direction chose to hitch a ride on the Trump bandwagon.
Tesla already took those massive early subsidies and sunk them into losing enormous sums money getting their cars out of the "neat toy, but not a viable alternative" phase and into what we see today. Tesla's tax experts are hedging their bets and taking accelerated depreciation to eliminate their short term corporate tax burden. If the left is successful in torpedoing the company, it just guarantees no return on that initial societal investment, and a devastating loss in value for the 88% of Tesla shares that are owned by people other than Elon Musk.
Again, all because a corporate figurehead was excitedly giving a speech and expressing gratitude toward the present crowd using a gesture that innumerable speakers have made when addressing a friendly audience.
If this works and Tesla disappeared from the face of the earth tomorrow, which it won't, you'll have to do $600,000,000,000+ in economic damage to the retirement accounts of your friends and neighbors just to move Elon down from #1 on the world's richest list to right around #10.
Take THAT, Leon. Good job team!

You just described a tiny, miniscule even, subsection of maybe lefties, maybe crisis actors hired by Elon to garner sympathy and compared it to the overwhelming majority base of Republicans
This is what you clowns do. False equivalency out the ass, it happened once so it represents all leftists bullshit.
You guys literally flip your world view on its head so you can remain in lock step with daddy Trump. I've watched every single right wing poster on this forum do it multiple times, including you

You really aren't paying attention.
Man, Biden put a 100% tariff on chinese EVs, that's how much libs love EVs.
It's grotesque.
I wonder if this was out of a hatred for EVs or protecting the financial interested of an American EV company
We may never know
Here are some of those "innumerable speakers." I wonder how the others would look next to these guys (in motion).

Tesla was pricing some insane future profits coming from some very optimistic reading of nebolous projects unrelated to EVs, and the possibility Musk was able to monetize his relationship with Trump with Tesla.
Even after Tesla lost almost 50% from it's stockmarket peak right now, it still has a price/earning ratio of like 65.
Even in a scenario where Tesla didn't have to pay the reputational price of Musk mistakes, it would be grotesquely overpriced at the price it touched recently (PE over 130).
BYD, it's closest comparable competitor with incredible trends in market share around the world and much better pricing points and a brighter future as a maker and seller of EVs, has a PE of 54.
Anyway there was no damage for normal investors who don't trade often and just accumulate their savings in the sp500. Tesla stock price is just where it was 15 months ago.

Some mysteries are just unsolvable.

You can always trust Tesla promotional videos. They have a long history of being insanely honest. Right?

this probably the most accurate description of right wing americans i've ever read
