Ironically, the EV’s suck and are for commies crowd are now lauding Tesla as the best vehicle on the market

Musk aside, Tesla cars have always been pretty shoddy

What?

Revenue [increased] 2% to $25.71 billion

Yes. Only 25.7 billion dollars. It's practically dead.

A more concise headline is "Nobody wants a Swastikar"

Will he really need customers much longer? I mean it seems like he can just have any government agency replace their fleet with his trash in the name of "efficiency".

He tied the financing of his loan to buy Twitter with Tesla shares, if they tank it pressures the Saudis to call in the billions they loaned him for the purchase. He'd survive, but it would embarrass him which would be funny.

Apparently a big part of Tesla's business is selling carbon credits to other automakers... Which relies on them having a certain number of EV sales. If they drop below a threshold, then they can't sell those credits anymore.

Nobody at Tesla headquarters voted to alienate their customer base. No board meeting decided to turn their electric car company into a political lightning rod.

This is technically not true. The board keeps Elon Musk on as CEO of Tesla, and they granted him the biggest bonus package ever, while he was already very controversial and clearly was losing his mind, because they thought he would be able to make them money.

You are 100% correct. They knowingly doubled down on him. They can all ride his coattails straight to hell.

It is mental that a man worth billions in mostly electric car companyv shares is courting people who would run their cars on coal if they could.

I believe this is the part where we get sued for not buying his cars.
