Summary
Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.
Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.
Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.
Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
Cool. I cant wait for Tesla shareholders to file a class-action lawsuit for recklessly and negligently tanking the share price. Their portfolios have taken a significant hit, and it’s directly attributable to his poor public behavior, as well as partnering up with the loudest anti-EV voice on the planet. They have easily demonstrable damages, and it would be an easy case to win. I’ll bet there are numerous lawyers lining up their cases right now.
AND, its just a matter of time before the Tesla board fires him as CEO. He can wreck the government and Tesla, or he can run Tesla, but he cant do both.
Yet the Tesla brand has also become uniquely toxic since Musk swept into Washington, gave what was widely recognized as a Nazi salute at an inauguration event
Good to see the mainstream media finally (sort of) calling this what it was instead of tiptoeing around it
Only to get views. Tomorrow they’ll be bending a knee again.
out of curiosity, can you explain what physical stance has only one knee bent? Like, a lunge…? Genuinely new to this expression.
“Bending the knee” means kneeling before (usually) royalty. It’s a physical representation that the person standing deserves respect and therefore the person has lowered themselves to the ground on one knee.
Ah I see. I think you can understand my confusion though – this guy has two knees bent, both at almost the same angle.
Given how litigious Musk is, I think that’s as good as we’ll get.
Doubt it to prove libel or slander he would have to somehow prove it wasn’t a Nazi salute and it was specifically to hurt his reputation and not simply you know… News.
Good 👍
Thoughts and prayers
not needed, they have concepts of a plan
I’m amazed the stock is still as high as it is. Anyone buying a Tesla right now is making an unpopular statement in most the world.
ive seen an increasing amount cyberdumpsters in my blue area since last year, one regularly picks up the gf in my neighborhood. the people buying it is mostly ignorant of musks tantrum and his bigotry.
Mark my word: Elon will regressed intellectually during the next ten years, to the point his brain will be like the one of a child.
So, how exactly is that different than what it currently is?
ketamine is one hell of a drug
You need to be more specific than “a child” considering he mentally already seems to be at the intellectual capacity of a 15-16 year old (except without any of the capacity to learn).
Some kind of ketamine induced dementia?
alcohol and cocaine,.
his eyes do look reptilian
after stringing out on ketamine and booze. wonder if he uses a vasoconstrictor on his eyes
Elon: Does a Nazi salute then proceeds to do Nazi stuff within the confines of the U.S. government.
Also Elon: Why is everyone picking on me?
If he had just never started posting, he’d have such a better life.
He got terminal j k rowling disease 😔
Drugs are a powerful drug
finally feel emotions after coming down on drugs.
Wealthiest man in the world got his mind fried by social media like a dumbass pre-teen.
And ketamine. Don’t forget about the ketamine.
And probably adderal or whatever expensive uppers he needed to counteract the ketamine
I mean, it’s just really hard to understand why all these billionaires have decided to become so politically active. 1.) they have more than enough money for 10 more generations at least. 2.) if there is a serious tax hike or other threat to their wealth they can always quietly buy off some key politicians. 3.) if you stick your neck out like Musk (and some other billionaire cabinet members do) you run the chance that people will want to cut it off. If I were a billionaire I would make it my lives mission to ensure that the general public does not know my name.
It’s because they want it all. They have all the money. They want to be self righteous and proud of whatever thought that comes into their mind without having to hide it too.
They’re billionaires already because they can’t stop. Ever.
That’s a great point. Life a life full of pleasures and have people hardly think of you.
What well-adjusted person would want to become a billionaire?
3.) if you stick your neck out like Musk (and some other billionaire cabinet members do) you run the chance that people will want to cut it off.
That’s not a chance, it’s a certainty. People do want to cut it off.
this is when hes posting while not on ketamine, or cocaine.
Lol he’s so panicked he’s had to order Trump to send a tweet to try to convince right wingers to buy EVs now.
How do you illegally boycott something? I know he’s a fucking moron but this is one of the stupidest things he’s ever said
In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means. So I guess if one was to “boycott israel” while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.
you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means
As performative as that is, it’s just bizarre to imagine as a business having to ask “if I just happen to have not had any contracts with Israeli entities am I in violation of my contract with this random rural Texas county’s public works department?”
There’s also a clause where you agree not to perform an abortion while on duty.
It’s really weird and probably comes from Abbott saying that all money from the state supports Israel and that no money is used to fund an abortion.
That feels like the government placing limits on the rights of corporations to express political views, which SCOTUS has stated is illegal (if you define speech as campaign contributions, which it does).
Not just corporations, but also individuals with a government contract and may also apply to government/school district employees

I would love an explanation of how the boycott against Tesla is illegal.
Right? What’s he gonna do? Force us to buy Teslas with no money?
They make great fireplaces.
Especially considering the Anheiser Busch (or however it’s spelled) boycot over someone else’s gender identity.
The ones yelling “Snowflake!!11” for a decade turned out to be crybabies. Who woulda thunk.
and busch had the last laugh, because they got ALCOHOLICS hooked they will never stop drinking busch beers.
“L’état, c’est moi,” so anything he doesn’t like is illegal.
So we can add “illegal” to the list of words Trump uses but doesn’t know the meaning of.
In the victim of a hate crime!
That’s not what a hate crime is.
Well I hated it!
I’d argue that already was the case a few cort cases ago.
Man who doesn’t drive buys fascist car to show solidarity with worlds richest man.
Like, what in the actual fuck. How is it illegal to boycott Tesla? But it wasn’t illegal when all the rednecks wanted to boycott bud-light for having a pro gay add? This clown is a fucking joke.
pro-trans*
Because their boycotts usually consisted of buying a lot of the stuff they were angry about and then throw it away, burn it out shoot at it. 🤣
LOL! Remember when conservatives were blocking Tesla chargers with their lifted trucks? The vast majority of conservatives who can afford EVs don’t want them anyway because it doesn’t make “vroom, vroom” sounds.
Is this real ? this sounds like actual schoolyard banter
First time reading one of Trump’s posts? They’re all like this. In fact they’re often worse. He often makes use of schoolyard insults, uses CAPS LOCK, and he has the vocabulary of a 5th grader. To anyone with half a fucking braincell, he’s a giant manbaby.
It sounds way too coherent. It’s actually a decently-written blurb and has too little ALL CAPS. I think they messed up the AI that writes his tweets.
Unfortunately yes, our president is a moron.
He’s going to go a buy a Tesla tomorrow? I’m pretty sure he didn’t even keep the wrapped cybertruck that was gifted to him by those manosphere podcasters a while back.
Does trump even know how to drive? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him driving anything except a golf cart.
He definitely doesn’t drive his own golf carts
i heard he never got his license. made sense if yuor being driven everywhere in a limo.
Lots of people in NYC don’t have a license. They don’t need them. It was a bit of a culture shock when I visited.
Would have loved it if someone hit him with one of these in the debates
He’s a New Yorker, too.
This coming from the same exact person that called for a boycott of Tesla not just two years ago, is fucking rich.
Too bad must people are too poor to afford one! It’s much easier to NOT buy something in protest than to have to actually purchase something.
Holy shit I would laugh so hard if all these right-wing chucklefucks over-leveraged themselves on a Tesla, couldn’t pay the monthly payments, the car got repo’ed and they lost their home in the process.
I fucking hate that man.
Far too vague for this timeline. More specificity, please.
Yes
So, I wonder if he’s really going to get one…he should like the new nickname they have.
That’s the thing alot of them genuinely hate them. I don’t know if even Trump can get right wingers to start liking them?
“anything I don’t like is a Democrat.”
“There’s an investigation under way to find those responsible for my lost profits!”
$20 he’ll demand arrest warrets or deportation of anyone not thinking about buying a tesla
Lol can he sue people for not wanting his bad Swasticars?
I think you mean “will he” and the answer is “yeah, probably”
He’s doing a lot of things that shouldn’t be legal.
cant investigate, when you already emptied most of the departments of investigations.
JFC I’d actually appreciate the maga version of the Democrats.
These fictional Democrats are organized, well funded, cohesive and seem to have a great long term strategy for ruining republicans. With an organization like that you’d think that they would be in control of the government?
Remember the democrats that have futuristic weather machines? The MAGA Democrats have more powers than the whole MCU.
The amount of raw, undiluted satisfaction that would come from watching Musk’s fortune disappear would probably be enough to tide me over for the rest of the Trump presidency. I could be sent to a concentration camp slaving away somewhere manufacturing MAGA merch, and I’d still have a smile on my face knowing Elon went broke.
“My actions are directly linked to tanking my company, so I’ve decided to double down on being a nazi.”
Prime example of how the rich are in their positions because of sheer genius and literally nothing else.
I’ll give credit where it’s due. The memes, the ‘swasticar’ stuff - it worked. The negative bias isnt just some lefties, it’s the drivers themselves feeling it. That stigma is not about to go away, so as long as Musk’s name is attached, the only buyers will be ideological ones.
And, I don’t think the chuds are enough to float
Oh well Elon, YOLO
This is one of the things that pissed me off during the election campaign. Calling Trump “weird” worked as well, for all of a couple of weeks, and then the party muzzled Walz and never let anyone say it again.
They had an effective ad campaign that hit their opponents right where it hurt - their fragile ego - and they just…gave up.

That’s a great overall summary of the DNC right there.
that and parading his son around was a mistake. they shouldve ramped up the attack, and instead they just went into the background.
Wow, maybe Elon is the only person capable of getting Republicans out of internal combustible engines and into electric cars. Welcome to Bizzaro World.
Do we have any proof it’s actually working?
