While Elon indulges in political theater and self-aggrandizing quips, Tesla is experiencing an unprecedented slump in both sales and stock value.

    If he really cared maybe he should stop stretching himself thin, get out of DOGE, and stick to selling shitty cars

      The earlier Tesla’s weren’t so shitty. Not more than your average Kia/Hyundai EV anyhow in terms of being a car. The self-driving shit is another story.

      Cybertruck has been a dumpster fire since inception though.

      Yeah, if Elon could drop the politics, hand off X, and go back to just being a major investor in tech companies that actually have some pretty cool ideas, that’s be great.

          Revenge is overrated, and justice against the mega rich is rare.

          If guy could cut down on the K, learn to not be such a dick and go back to being the figure behind businesses that actual did have good overall intent (electric vehicles, global Internet access, etc) instead of bullshit politics or seig-heils that’d be good for everyone.

            I admire your willingness to forgive or at least forget.

            I’m not going to be satisfied until the power he’s been abusing is completely taken away

              Oh he absolutely needs to be stripped of that and barred from any association with politics, just to make sure that if he goes away he stays away

      I think the damage is done even if he were to backtrack. People will just assume he’s backtracking because of money and that’s it. Not because of his actual ideals
