What about creating a new model, the Tesla Texas? Same old shit, but running on gasoline
Burning your good will with your primary customer base by throwing your weight behind a political group full of the worst of society that has the public support of the statistically poorest in society wasn't a great long term plan?
Shocking, well not that shocking.
The tag is a lie -- he says he's dialing down on DOGE but we all know it is untrue -- but fortunately the authors clearly call bullshit on that claim in the middle of the article.
The being a Nazi strategy didn’t pan out I guess
Has he considered suicide?
I'm curious what's going to happen if banks start calling Leon's loans since Tesla stock isn't going to be enough to cover his loans at some point, probably pretty soon.
That's not how loans against stock work. If the share price reach a threshold the shares are automatically sold to cover the loan.
That's fine. Tesla was always a meme stock with no substance anyway.
Bail out and never come back. Only way else Tesla is done.
Has he tried selling it to his AI business tohide the losses like he did Twitter?
He's tried nothing and Is all out ideas.
Is It Elon that is wrong? No it must be the consumers!
Does negging his customers count as an idea?
He threw Sieg Heils and is now out of ideas
Ok, hear me out, maybe what he needs is lots more sieg heils? It worked for that mustache dude 70ish years ago, hitler.
If hitler had given up after just 2 sieg heils then not many people would know his name. Come on, Muskrat, show some belief in yourself!!
So let me get this straight.
Elon Musk is the reason Tesla is tanking and his solution is more of him?
How many Ds of Chess is this? I’ve lost track.
Tesla is a person cult.
If any other company had such earning reports and a disatrous earnings call like tesla did, it would go down at least 30%. Tesla went up 30.
Sure, it's possibly the most manipulated stock on the market, and regulators get axed, so we even don't know how much of the cult is left and how much is coming from billionaires pockets that pump and dump all day to get the money of the hopeful.
There will be a hard line where the Pool of idiots with money to rob dried out and they crash harder than Theranos.
Who cares. Tesla is run by a Nazi. It doesn’t deserve to survive. Musk doesn’t give a shit about the environment or saving it. He only cares about his bank balance.
🖕Musk 🖕Tesla 🖕Nazis
You can't un-ring being a Nazi and I won't be buying another Tesla with or without a Nazi at the helm because we all know even if he 'steps down' his fortune will still be tied to his stock ownership.
Nazi Around, Find Out
Yeah, sucks that the good charging network is theirs, so they'll continue to collect even if people buy other EVs.
He killed the charging network team so it won't be long until it's overtaken.
Imagine forfeiting such a strong moat.
We hadn'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 would 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.
I give Tesla two years before they file for bankruptcy, and I'm only giving it that long because HitlerPig will give him a bail out that will buy him a little time.
One thing that must be made clear to casual observers is that the Tesla stock price is still batshit crazy high.
The logic to support the price is:
Your are not buying the current company, you are buying the cool stuff Elon is making in the future.
Without that leap of faith, the price has to collapse. There is no way an electric car company will ever support even the current stock price.
There will be a tremendous amount of copium ingested before gravity hits, but the bigger fool theory will have its way.
One thing that must be made clear to casual observers is that the Tesla stock price is still batshit crazy high.
Earnings report is really bad ... stock price surges! Make it make sense.
I wonder how many people have gone broke trying to short Tesla. It just doesn't make sense, but apparently the market has an infinite ability to be irrational.
Textbook example of "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
Elon Musk vowed to refocus on Tesla
issue is - he should have done that 2-3 years ago. now its too late
Due to sheer china cars velocity - he cant catch up.
Sorry bud, EVs were championed by reasonable people with stable government jobs. You fired them yourself congratulations you are your own worst enemy.
Tesla cannot be saved until and unless Musk sells his share of the company and completely divorces himself from it. Even that may not be enough, as the brand is so closely associated with Musk that his stain may not wash off, but it's their only chance.
90% of what is keeping Tesla's value is the tech bro community's absolute belief in Elmo. If he sold all of his shares the value of the stock would plummet to almost zero. Hell if he even just sold a moderately large portion of his shares the stock price would plummet dramatically. That's why he's always so reluctant to sell his stock and basically uses it to leverage loans.
That's not why. The why is to avoid a taxable event.
It will, it just takes a lot of years. Lets not forget that Hugo Boss and Volkswagen were nazi germany companies.
They’re still quite popular even though one made military uniforms and the other vehicles.

xAI will bail tesla out.
Wouldn't it be the other way around? I think Musk would rather have TSLA ~~bagholders~~ shareholders prop up his private companies, of which he likely owns a higher percentage than Tesla. The pitch could be that xAI has what Tesla needs for some of the vaporware he keeps promising and that Tesla should therefore acquire xAI.
The new model xXx42069xXx will come equipped fully loaded with uh an ai mascot. It can't drive or anything but it can insult your driving and blast the N word when it see's them on the camera feed.
Has he tried stop being a cunt?
Way too late for that. Too many potential customers will now never buy a Tesla as long as he’s associated with the brand in any way. About the only option he has to try to save the brand is to sever all ties with the company and walk away. But his ego will never allow that.

Ketamine does cause brain rot
Even if one of his ideas were to apologize for the nazi salute I think the "saving Tesla" ship has sailed.
