Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MuskRat is starting to feel it. Keep up the pressure. There are two coming inevitablities that are going to make his life truly miserable, and perhaps even destroy it.
It is only a matter of time before the Tesla board replaces him. No matter how loyal they are to him, they will have to reign him in to avoid the blowback in the next inevitablity.
That will be a class-action shareholder lawsuit against MuskRat for his effect on the stock price. He's supposed to be some super genius, so he has no excuse for not realizing that his terrible behavior would have a detrimental effect on the stock price. Many stockholders have lost thousands, even millions, in Tesla stock, and it is only a matter of time before they sue. Besides MuskRat, they will be suing the board members individually, unless they can make the case that they tried to mitigate the damage he was doing by firing him. Even so, they stood by and watched as he cut the stock price in half, so its probably too late for board members to save themselves.
I sold my Tesla stock, but I think Ill go on Stash and buy $5 worth of stock, just so I can vote to sue Musk, Tesla, and the Tesla Board of Directors.
