It's probably an insurance fire.

This crying is all theater. There will be an angle to it for Musk and the other oligarchs.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 73 points 2 days ago

Really? It’s not about people pushing the propaganda? It’s about you doing a shit job?

Wow. Who woulda thunk it

clown is crying now his loans will be affected. suck it up. it is just business.

it is mostly you, Nazi Felon Musk, not just your random unscientific cuts.

Most people don't like swaticars.

Elon should be fired, if Felon Musk was Felon Musk boss, he would fire Felon Musk.

It took him this long to finally understand that?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Despite his claims to the contrary, Elon Musk is not a smart man.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Honestly i question what he really knows/understands.

He has a undergraduate degree in physics. But nothing in computer science and majority of his companys are mostly computer science. I feel like he just has a fasod that hes "smart" but pays other people to tell him stuff and he just relays that as if it were him that knew this information. Very similar to path of exile de-bockel

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does he have a real degree in physics? I thought it was honorary or something.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

a theoretical degree in physics

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

*facade

Think that mask dropped a while ago. He used to have a PR/management team that would stop the stupid shit he'd say from becoming public or affecting the actual businesses. He fired them around the Twitter takeover iirc and that's when we've all been able to easily see how stupid and bigoted he actually is.

[–] illegible@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago

Just like Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich man, Elon is a stupid persons idea of a smart man. He's not a complete moron like Trump, but he's no Stephen Hawking either.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

Yeah, no shit Einstein. Did he just now figure that out?

"Gosh, this guy is a GENIUS!" - fElon's dicksucking fanbois.

If the Tesla board has any intelligence left, they will push him out.

They deserve all the hurt incurred so far for not doing it yet, and will deserve to go under if they don’t in time.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The board are just his friends and yes-men.

I care a lot! I want to see him get margin called, so he has to pay his loans

[–] Finkler@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago

Nope don't give a rats behind..

[–] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I mean, yeah. That was kinda the point.

I’m glad he connected the dots, but he’s incapable of having a true moment of self reflection.

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

The tesla grants from the government should be chainsawed! Just like the SpaceX and starlink grants! $38B in savings....

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The market has spoken.

Musk is fishing for government compensation, isn't he?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the nazi salute, elon. It was the nazi salute all along.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was that plus a lot of other things.

Poor baby. I still don't understand why all the austerity measures. Because when donvict came into office, he was handed an economy with very, very great numbers.

I mean, in their fictional universe - the real reason is likely to defang any oversight of these criminals and steal as much money for themselves. The cover story they tell the idiot base is what?

Yes. What’s your question?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

In the TV they interviewed a Tesla dealership employee: "no, the orders didn't went down, we're unaffected"

Bruh.

Car registration data is public. Registrations of Teslas went down 40% yoy even with a €4000 discount.

collapsed inline mediaTesla go down, Lexus go up

I can't believe investors were OK with him selling twitter to another company he co-owns.

If trump legit won the election, he only won by about half. I think it's fair to assume probably all dem voters do not like musk now, and I'm sure many Republicans don't either. The majority is against musk.

Fuck around and find out.

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's definitely part of it. I would say the trucks that are literally becoming unglued (while the CEO is figuratively) are causing equal, if not greater, damage.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Nah they just do it more quietly

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Good. Make it really hurt.

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Pretty sure that's the express goal with all the protests and the burning cars and the like.

When I think on it though, given his personality this comment is probably just a big FU to the protesting public, "See? You can't stop me, I still have hundreds of billions and will fuck things up at will."

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Liquidate Musk

[–] sucrerey@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

has he tried doing more nazi salutes? maybe thats good for the brand,...

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Good. Left it go bankrupt. Fuck Musk.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

lol yeah right institutional investors are selling their stocks because of political reasons. LOL no stock went down long before Teslas were burning and before the data of dropping sales came out. It's because you are a fuck head Elon you are the CEO of Tesla you are supposed to run the company not pretend you are the president. These big investors really don't like it when the CEO of a company they own is being distracted doing other things.
