Musk melts down as Tesla stock price plunges

Sounds like he didn't work hard enough.
- Maybe he should eat less avocado toast.

well deserved!

Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
yummy.

Over the weekend, he shared clip from a Tesla fan account of the prototype for the Cybercab, a two-seater robotaxi the company will allegedly be making by 2026.
It is so accurate they qualified this with "allegedly" in this sentence.

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.
- He doesn't seem to be having a good time. It reminds me of the DPH sub.

That was an awesome read. Thank you.

Oh wow look taking hard political stances is actually bad for business. A fact known for pretty much all of time. I wonder how the self proclaimed genius didn't see this coming.

I received 0 money from any Democratic donor. They don't have to pay me to enjoy your downfall.
- Some of us spent money to see this happen.

Good, strip his US citizenship and send his worthless back to South Africa.
- We don't want him back, send him to Antarctica.
  
  Why pollute such a pristine environment. Just fire up the incinerator
  
  Just grant him his wish to go to Mars. We all get a happy ending ;)

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.

were doing something right if hes melting down.
Epstein we know you are linked with EPSTEIN you have been in a photo with Miss kungfu coordinator and epstein. his projection against pedophelia and transgendered people is very telling.

Oh I’m so sad for him I’m even shed a tear 😹😹😹

God damn is he stupid. TF did he think was gonna happen when he pissed off the kind of people that buy EV's
- Nothing. He's not used to consequences.
- He thought he was smarter and that it would be over in a week. He thought no one would keep listening to the bad and they are the type of leaders that only listen to themselves within their own echo chamber.

Apropos nothing, has there ever been an uglier name (aesthetically, aurally) than "Elon Musk"? Just say it out loud a couple of times. Does it not make you almost throw-up in your mouth a little bit?
- The entire family has bad taste in names, Errol Musk... Also a jackass, but less of a large scale grifter.
- Trump sort of sounds like vomit getting caught in your throat after a burp, the Musk is what comes out when you finally hurl.
- Slartibartfast?
  
  U wot

musk melts down
ah, I was hoping it was literal. maybe one day, fingers crossed.
- Melt down? Better pour 5 thousand tons of boron and sand on him.
  
  In this economy?! The best we can do is a 55 gallon drum filled with Coca-Cola.
  
  Just need 5 tons
- Hopefully in one of his own shoddy shitboxes.

- He's such a loser that his tears bring straight joy!
  
  his tears is just straight alcohol, ketamine and cocaine now.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Nobody feels sorry for this asshole

Maybe he should do more Nazi salutes.

"Nazi Cries"
- "Sieg creil"
- And suddenly racist Felon wasn't racist anymore! Elon! The racist felon!....well not anymore.
  Herr's the full song by FOC: https://youtu.be/X-jVAHAuiS4 just replace dragon with Elon.
- "Tears are a waste of good suffering"

Really feels like I got a front row seat to this massive dumpster fire of an administration.

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.
- This coming from the same exact person that called for a boycott of Tesla not just two years ago, is fucking rich.
- 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.
- 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.
- I fucking hate that man.
  
  Far too vague for this timeline. More specificity, please.
- 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.
- Is this real ? this sounds like actual schoolyard banter
  
  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.
- So, I wonder if he's really going to get one...he should like the new nickname they have.
- 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.
- 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.
- I would love an explanation of how the boycott against Tesla is illegal.
  
  "L'état, c'est moi," so anything he doesn't like is illegal.
  
  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.
  
  Right? What's he gonna do? Force us to buy Teslas with no money?
- Man who doesn't drive buys fascist car to show solidarity with worlds richest man.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.

wait; musk got child sex slaves from epstein? I was not aware of this, but he just admitted to it holy fuck is there anything evil this shit bag didn't have a finger in?
- Where did you see he got sex slaves from Epstein?
  
  "linked critics to jeffery epstein". from a normal shitty guy that would just mean he was saying 'everyone talking shit about me is also shit'. but he's not a normal shitty guy. he's a delusional solipsistic narcissist who cannot imagine anything but himself and has a larger share of society by percentage from a larger more materially and population abundant/surplus society than has ever existed before in the history of life on earth. so when he accuses someone, ANYONE of something, ANYTHING; he is admitting that he can at least imagine himself doing it.
  which means he has imagined himself doing it. and if he had unlimited money and zero consequences and zero conscience, and was into that, why not make his most fucked up fantasies a reality? and he wouldn't have remembered the guy existed if it wasn't important. so he clearly enjoyed himself. and went back. a lot.
  so yes. I can't prove it in court, because the stardards of courts are classist and bullshit and also I'm very high right now, but elon musk definitely fucked a buncha kids. also he totally looks like a pedo. i'd bet a kidney on that, if there were anywhere i trusted for that kind of thing.

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.

Somehow I’m not feeling bad
- I am, but only because i reflexively opened a bottle of sparkling white and poured myself a glass and realized im drinking before noon oh god i've become my mother.
  
  oh god i’ve become my mother.
  me too bro, me too.
  
  Embrace it, it comes to us all eventually!

Why does he keep bringing up Epstein? Trump was best friends with the dude
- Projection.

Let me know when the meltdown reaches the point that we seal him in concrete and bury the container in a cave in the deep desert for the next thousand years.
- Fun fact: The Nuclear Energy Commission has several ideas on what to do with nuclear waste. Well before The Elder Scrolls: Arena came out, they floated an idea to bury the waste in remote locales, but they couldn't figure out how to mark it in such a way that would transcend language, since the waste will still be deadly several hundred times longer than any human civilization has managed to last. One of the many ideas they came up with was to cover the sites with what appear to be Daedric Ruins from Morrowind. AFAIA none were ever built, sadly.
  Make America Build Daedric Ruins!

  Also they were considering engineering cats whose colors change when exposed to rads
  
  A good use for hostile architecture, unlike spiked steps that stop people from sitting on them.
  
  Make them challenger deep to really drive home that Lovecraft feel and keep away those pesky freedivers.

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.
  
  this is when hes posting while not on ketamine, or cocaine.
  
  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.
  
  Wealthiest man in the world got his mind fried by social media like a dumbass pre-teen.
  
  He got terminal j k rowling disease 😔

Good. Fuck him and fuck that overvalued shitty car company.

He also circulated a video taken by a customer in their new Cybertruck, writing, “Heartfelt thanks to everyone supporting @Tesla, despite many attacks against our stores and offices.”
that's the meltdown.
It's RollingStone, btw, whom Yahoo is reposting. This is the Nü "May be collapsing" headline the corporate news sewers need to push. They're desperate for someone or something to go down so they can claim victory.
Musk is going to walk away with billions stolen from taxpayers, and he's not 'melting down' for shit, he just Xitted something before dosing himself and it sounds vaguely like something a regular person might have said so they jumped on it.
- Did you read the whole thing? He also accused wealthy liberals of financing Tesla protests including two that are dead, one for about 5 years. When one of those people told him he was full of it, he replied with:
  Musk replied, “Describe your favorite island vacation,” baselessly implying that Hoffman had visited the Caribbean private island of the late sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
  I don't know if I would all this a melt down, but it's not that far short of it.
  Btw, Musk should be cautious with this kind of accusation these days considering that his buddy Donnie was a very good friend of Epstein.
  
  “Describe your favorite island vacation,”
  You know that island they exiled Napoleon to? Is it still suitable to leave a certain billionaire there for an indefinite amount of time, or is it a major tourist destination now? Asking for a friend.

"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
  
  cant investigate, when you already emptied most of the departments of investigations.
  
  Lol can he sue people for not wanting his bad Swasticars?

"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.

Musk = POS Nazi wannabe!
- He is a Nazi.

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 and parading his son around was a mistake. they shouldve ramped up the attack, and instead they just went into the background.
  
  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.
- 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?

What are the odds he had someone torch a few cars just so he could try involving militia, etc?
The old "look look antifa!"

Projection to the highest degree.
- Take me back ...to the island.

Easy come, easy go. I think it was pretty obvious from the start that the richest man on Earth was balancing on a bloated balloon.
He's still filthy rich from the payouts he took along the way, but I guess he will soon feel the interests of the Twitter loans piercing into his actual assets.

How long until Trump announces a "strategic reserve" of Tesla stock?
- I expect Elon will come out with Starlink guided AI tanks that Trump can spend billions from the effectively infinite defense budget on.

In an IDEAL world, Musk will be removed as CEO for both failure to perform (he's literally not doing his job given that he's doing all his DOGshitE) and the harm he's bringing to the brand. No other CEO would be allowed to get away with this.
Then, in a JUST world the stock will stabilize, start to grow again, and everyone will get back on the EV train with Tesla included. While the Muskrat watches from the sidelines like the loser he is.
CAVEAT: only if he also doesn't still own any more of the stock than he could get owning VTSAX like the rest of us.
- Maybe its a bit of a spicy take... but honestly, I'd be okay with this being a death spiral for tesla. They played their role in getting EVs into the mainstream, now let their figurative head rot on a pike as a warning that letting a shithead nazi helm your company is an existential mistake, and not just a bump in the road.
  
  I won't totally disagree. But a lot of employees will lose their jobs and an innovative competitor would leave the market. Maybe a middle ground would be like, a hostile takeover bid that also merged them with Rivian or something. Then a rename to "eXla" just to fuck with Elon :)

I hope it falls even more, what a loser

I mean they have shit QC, and their competition is fierce. The Cybertruck failed entirely as a product. That stock was overvalued for a long time. It was only high based on Musk. So it only stands to reason that it would fall based on him as well.

The invisible bitch slap of the market strikes again! 🧐

This is the true face of Musk, who is stuck perpetually in the mindset of a melodramatic 15 y/o.
- It shows that a 5 y/o and a 15 y/o is running the country.

Ah, the invisible hand of the market, correcting over-inflated prices.

Tesla is crumbling for sure.

Maybe more ketamine will help.

Suck it Elon!

idk, maybe he should try doing his salute again or step his DOGE policies up a notch, that might save whats left.

I hope it goes to zero
- It's purpose was to trigger the other carmakers to sell BEVs. It has outlived its usefulness.

Dude would even get away with it all if he didn’t post everything he did on the internet.

...
Republicans thought government employees needing to divest was just to keep them from making money..
They never realized the reason high ranking government officials shouldn't be invested in private companies like this, is people will fuck your private company up when you do things people don't like.
Not to mention that once federal employees found out Tesla was in our main index, lots of people pulled their retirement out of stocks and put it in the "safe" index. Even if you don't care about Musk and Tesla, when it's obvious the market is gonna crash, people pull their funds.

If you're against me, you're a pedo!
