Tesla’s finished. There is no coming back from this. The damage he’s done to their brand image with his self-indulgent ego bender is irreparable.
The media used to be willing to overlook all the recalls, crappy build quality, sketchy software, fraudulent sales practices, etc., but no more. Most media stories for the foreseeable future will focus on the negative, and with mounting quality control problems, and increading lawsuits from every direction, they’ll have lots of fodder.
Tesla will be bankrupt in 2 years.
Ah yes, the mastermind behind the cybertruck is what the company needs more of. Elon “Funding Secured” Musk is good at milking the government teat and pulling tricks (some of which are outright illegal) to boost the stock price. That’s great for bringing money into Tesla, but what is Tesla doing with that money? With Musk’s direction, that money is being flushed down the toilet. They actually lost money last quarter, but thanks to carbon credits (government teat coming to the rescue yet again), they managed to turn a profit. Eventually the runway runs out.
Whatever happens to Tesla is irrelevant, he has all the data and access he could ever dream of to get wherever he wants and train his AI
it was doomed the moment he bought twitter and immediately started working with putin against ukraine by turning of the satellite coverage in the area.
Didn’t the US subsidize starlink for supporting the DoDs endeavors like Ukraine. Elon should not be allowed near the shutoff switch if he takes government handouts
yes he was subsidized, shortly after meeting putin, musk turned off the satellites.
Yes. It is too late. If Elon was a serious guy he’d know that and step down.
The best thing he could do for Tesla would be resign from Tesla
That would be true for a company with any connection to reality, but Tesla is so far detached from reality that his departure would tank the stock price. Supposedly the stock price increased from the abysmal earnings report because during the earnings call he claimed he’d be spending less time with doge and more with the company.
People won’t forgive the damage he’s done to the country that welcomed him.
People won’t forget the Nazi salutes.That’s what he’s bringing back to Tesla. Unless Tesla severs all ties with this toxic liability, they’re doomed.
Fox returns to henhouse to fix coop.
I love the assumption that somehow the problem was that he wasn’t spending enough time at Tesla, as if the Cybertruck wasn’t 100% his baby through and through. Clearly, with more genius ideas like that the company would be doing so much better.
Indeed it’s such typical ivory tower thinking, I’ll just fix it quick, lol
Full self driving in the next 5 years! [Elon Musk, 2016 and every year since]
I think the assumption is stated to placate his ego, to attract him away from continuing to tank his image. It’s not that they want him with Tesla so much as they want him away from government.
I believe he only owns 10%ish of the company now. And most of his investments are in spacex. So I’m honestly not sure what hes going to do.
Lol what’s he going to do at Tesla? More false promises of self-driving by the end of the year? Robot butlers that are totally not just being controlled remotely by some guy in a VR suit?
It’s not just Twitter and Tesla anymore. Anything he touches will make most people revolt and move away Although some people can’t be saved and will follow him. But basically I think he’s done.
I recently bought a camper van and 6 months ago, I would have told you that I’d 100% be getting starlink. Now, I’m going to limp by on mobile Hotspot and make sure I’m in range of a tower on working days.
and if not … life is great without internet too
I’ll be working remotely as I meander around so I need internet on work days.
There was inverse Cramer, now it’s inverse Musk.
He was always a net negative to operations, but he’s substantially declined in his drug abuse and mental health since his foray into politics. He’s going to wreck anything he touches with his hubris.
Of course it could take a long time for his faithful to come to terms with that.
seems like he upped his drug use when the trump election happened.
Maybe they hope they can tuck him away and go back to “managing” him. Maybe they can patch his image a bit if they can keep him away from anything important enough to piss people off.
Is he going back to his bunker to off himself like his idol, Hitler.
Here’s hoping!
God would smile
I’m sick of Elon Musk’s fucking face.
I will never buy a tesler. there are way better EVs on the market already.
But it’s all computer.
