He should be totally overjoyed, not bitter.

The current stock price, despite YTD of -36%, is still way over any kind of realistic valuation. And by that I mean orders of magnitude off.

Price to earnings makes it still look like a very, very, very hopeful/optimistic startup in the development phase, rather than a withering, fake luxury, niche automaker facing boycotts and being "run" by a full-blown Nazi that everyone hates.

If you still own Tesla shares, get the fuck out of it now. The recent collapse is nothing.

“The protests that you’ll see out there, they’re very organized. They’re paid for,” he said, without evidence.

No. When you do a double seig-heil on national television we protest for free.

Nobody's got to pay me to convince me Musk is a nazi piece of shit, he did that all on his own.

Where do I submit my paid protester invoice?

You can bullshit the American people that they are paid protestors, but if any of his investors buy that line of bullshit, they deserve to lose all their money.

Shorting TSLA is my favorite thing right now. The one tiny bright point in my life.

It is a mistake to lead off with "here's the thing about Elon Musk," because there's LOADS of things with Musk, but in particular. Let's set aside how ludicrous it is to claim that the protesters are being funded by some outside source, because sure that's worked in the past, and of course it's the Democrats, those notably cash-positive people, who are doing it.

Elon Musk is THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. If anyone could beat a theoretical money-backed protest against him, it would be him. Just offer to beat the offer of anyone funding the protesters. That's it! If they're only in it for the money then the protest would fold immediately.

More than that, Musk has literally paid people to vote in his favor in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race! The levels of hypocrisy are so staggeringly great that it risks materializing actual hippopotamuses on his properties.

The world would be better without you, Elon. And you’re such a sad little shit you’re probably reading these comments hoping someone will like you.

Bruh, don't do shit that causes protests then.

This guy was a liberal environmentalist sweetheart and then he decided he was going to say fuck you to his main customer base and throw his ilk in with Trump. This is all on you Musky-boy.

Worth bearing in mind that EV sales increased something like 24% in Europe from last year, so Tesla (lack of) sales have to be adjusted for that. Even if the number of cars they sold had remained static it would still be troubling.

so when can I expect my paycheck for being a paid protestor?

Don't let up, this is just nothing to him. Make it painful.

Maybe he should spearhead a supertruck or an xcar project to save the company. Wow those xonsumers with a jetson car theme or something. Cheaply built but somehow luxury segment. It's Idiot proof!

We haven't heard much from him over the past few weeks, and now we get this earnings call, and it is far worse than expected. He's known this was coming, and has been laying low, probably hoping things will improve some before making what he knows will be a disastrous earnings call. Its the equivalent of watching your diet 3 days before a doctor's appointment, hoping your weight gain and cholesterol increase won't be as bad as you know it is.

Also, it's a safe bet that his board of directors is livid, and that he has been ordered by his board to get back to work, or be removed as CEO of Tesla.

There is almost certainly a shareholder class-action suit brewing over his reckless and irresponsible behavior over the last several months, which has directly caused severe, and probably irreparable damage to the company's brand image AND it's sales around the world, as well as tanking the stock price, an unforgiveable sin in the investing world. Now that the bubble has popped, it will never inflate again. As future earnings reports are released, and sales continue to slide, the stock will continue to decline, and the cycle will continue until bankruptcy. And it is all traceable to Skum's self-indulgent, egotistical behavior.

The only question is will Skum be the only defendant, or will the lawsuit also name the individual members of the board, for not reigning him in, or firing him. They don't want to be sued alongside him, so they are forcing him to get back to work saving Tesla, thus letting them off the hook for legal liability.

Its doubtful Skum will be able to save Tesla at this point, its almost certainly too late. It is also probably too late to avoid a shareholder lawsuit. Investors have lost millions of dollars, not due to the vagaries of the market, but due to Skum's outrageous behavior, like throwing up celebratory Nazi salutes on national TV, which, as CEO, he should have realized would damage his company and its investors significantly.

And arguing that he didn't recognize the danger in advance is no excuse at all for a CEO, who should have been able to predict the response to his self-indulgent ego bender.

Shareholders have lost many millions, and they won't just let that go with an "Oh well." He's likely going to get sued, and the board is just making sure they don't go down with him.

Good. Hope it gets even worse.

do none of the investors just go "shut the fuck up you sig heiling cunt"?

At most companies, it’d be long past time to show the CEO the door. But Tesla’s stock price is inextricably linked to Musk and his onetime image as Silicon Valley’s greatest living genius.

BWaHAAHAhaahaha. Ahhh what a fuckin' idiot Elmo is.

Free market go brrr

Looks like revenue this quarter was $19.34B. That's slightly less than the 2024 Q1 result of $21.3B. Looks like Q1 is usually lower, let's make this trend continue to following quarters.

This bubble does not just need to be popped, it needs to evaporate.

"They’re paid for"

Bro, if people hate you and your company enough to employ and pay others to protest, then you and your company must be an all new level of shitty. I'm not quite sure the claim/excuse you're making is the defensive shield you think it is. It sounds much more like an admission of total failure...

And yet the board still thinks it's a good idea to retain you? I guess it's heartwarming they're more loyal to you than they are to the company.

I want my money Elmo!

If you say it's paid, pay me. Pay up or shut up
