With all the news recently it's no surprised that hell froze over. |

| 220 right now, hee hee. Almost half of what it was in December. Guess Musk FAFO. |
That's a great commercial. It reminds me of the Don't Mess with Texas anti-littering campaign. Harness that boyish desire for competitive masculinity and bend it toward pro-social action. |

If Musk had come out supporting Kamala, there would be a love fest right now for Elon. Democrats would be proclaiming how “green” Elon is and a savior for the environment, waging war against the evil combustion engine and its immoral fossil fuel dependency
Dolly Parton is a wise woman. When asked about politics, she said, “My fans are smart enough to figure out who to vote for, they don’t need me telling ‘em.” Any business owner publicly supporting or standing against a political party automatically offends a least 30% of the customer base, some of whom will refuse to be a customer anymore. I think Elon made an unwise decision to support Trump. We are seeing the results of that —short term. In the long term, EVs are here to stay. I am nearly certain that at some point in the future, all government vehicles will be an EV. The support for this is too strong for it not to be. There is also a chart gap around $400. You can bet yer britches one day, probably the result of a short-squeeze when it seems TSLA is done for, the stock price will be there again. Once Elon atones for his sins for supporting the Republicans, the Democrats, who have short memories, will once again go about demanding we “save the planet” by forsaking sinful carbon-emitting abominations. |
| Now that Elon has shown his true colors he is going to remain one of the most hated men on Earth. Tesla is toast. |
I mean, if he had, presumably he wouldn’t have gone on to do all the destructive DOGE stuff. That’s why people hate him. It’s not just his support, it’s his completely insane, destabilizing actions. That’s on him. |
I am the OP of this post, not thread. That is why I said Musk was unwise to jump into the cesspool of politics, a nasty water of people grinning while peeing in the pool and others vomiting or slinging feces at one another. A business owner should not jump into that pool. |
To be clear, nobody GAF that he supported Trump. Many public-facing business leaders did, and they haven't seen their businesses impacted. But Musk was a megaphone/enabler of disinformation on Twitter/X. He took a "chainsaw" to government without thought. He accessed all nature of data without any guardrails. But who knows. He has planted the seeds of turning on Trump, so we'll see where this all goes. |
| Elon had no problem destroying the livelihoods of tens of thousands of middle-class Feds who were just doing their jobs. He took glee in running around with a chain saw. Why is he being such a whiny beetch now? Suck it up buttercup. |
You have no clue about what you post. Tesla is getting its a$$ handed to it because they sell an inferior product that has not changed in 10 years. It is does. |
Elon is getting a first-hand lesson in what happens to those who affiliate themselves with Trump. There’s not enough bleach in the universe to sanitize his image after all this goes down. FAFO. |
I remember, I think it was about 10 years ago, when gas was close to $4 a gallon. People rushed to buy EVs, not concerned about quality so much as saving money from high gas prices. One day, probably under a Democratic party majority and president who will stop drilling, gas prices will go over $4 a gallon. And guess who will be smiling all the way to the bank in the Bahamas? You guessed it: Elon The Rich. I got some clues, buddy. |
You gotta get some better clues, bud. Elon’s going to be left in the dust by everyone else. It’s already happening. |
Gas is never going to $4 gallon in inflation adjusted terms. We are moving to a mixed fuel fleet of transport, and America supply from shale is almost endless. That price spike in the 2010s was about the build up of the GFC
