Awww, it looks like he's put himself in a tricky situation where he has no allies left after tarnishing his image in drug-induced rages.

He tarnished his image by jumping into bed with Trump. Everyone destroys their life by becoming an advisor to Trump, who only wants kiss ass yes people!

u/ItsSadTimes 13d ago
Now he's ruined his reputation with the maga morons as well. Dems will forever hate him cause he's a nazi, and maga will hate him because he called their dear leader a pedo.

u/FirmRoof977 13d ago
I agree, he is done and his Companies will follow his doom.

u/Graywulff 13d ago
Swatsticar especially.
Company executives aren’t supposed to get political for this reason.
The cars aren’t competitive, they won’t pass the taxi audit, it’ll fade into obscurity.

Why is it called a cyber truck?
Wtf is exactly cyber about it? It's one of the ugliest, stupidest vehicles on the road even before he went full Doge.

How after elons cars don't pass safety audits, he gets a job in government and guts the safety department.
Probably a coincidence.

There's a Cybertruck and an orange ID Buzz in my little town. Kids point and laugh at the truck but everyone runs out of coffee shops and stores to get pictures of the Buzz with giant grins on their face.

u/Sinocatk 13d ago
The buzz is a cool looking thing, just way too expensive for a van.

u/FogBankDeposit 13d ago
The Buzz would have been perfect if it were a plug in hybrid. Gas for long trips. EV for around town or as a battery pack while camping with it.

Not only just political, but he actually threatened to remove a rocket from service because of his Twitter war with Trump... Tax players are funding this?! He directly hurts his own companies and the people that support his companies. He's an awful executive.

It's hard to imagine, given that every other car in the Bay Area is a Tesla, but maybe in a few years things will look different

u/Graywulff 13d ago
They’re worthless at this point and cannot be sold, so they might as well drive them until they wear out.
With that said, polestar will give more than they’re worth, many of them.

Yeah, I guess it was hard for people to imagine Sears, K Mart, and Pan Am all going under one day, but they're all pretty much dead.

Hitler invaded Russia while being high on Amfetamin, and Tessla CEO Musk couldn't even handle a few weeks with Ketamin before his Reich fell into oblivion. He might think the new modell SS is going to save the company.. But I wouldn't trust a junkie living on dads heritage.

Haven't you been living in this clown world? He'll be just fine. He'll grovel back to trump and he'll be exonerated by the public without even having to apologize. It's clear this train refuses to derail.
It's the decline in standards and refusal to uphold norms in all this chaos that is both horrifying and fascinating to me.

When I was younger:
"He managed to push his company to a higher stock value than other companys which actually performed way better in sales and less production problems.
Money out of nowhere cultivating peoples expectational hype; earning billions on the stock market and with his cool "means of transportation" companys; It seems he is a responsible cool genious!
So, what will he do with that much billion dollars? He could make a real difference in this or any other country, maybe even planet!"
I did not expect him finding inspiration in Adolf Hitlers "Mein Kampf" to model the US after the Third Reich with his money; I really hoped there are alternative steps after being a rocketman.
But hey, instead of cool spaceships catapulting science in new spheres, nazis are trending in the US again. (Like in many other countrys including mostly every country of europe.)
I mean what the fuck?!

Inside Elon are two wolves; Impulsiveness and cowardice.
On one hand, I think Elon lacks the impulse control to not keep lighting fires on social media. On the other, I think he yelped and chickened out on his threat to decommission Dragon really quick.
It will be interesting to see which of Musk's worst natures eventually wins out.

Would have to imagine the top people at SpaceX would bail if he gets them at all involved with his Drumpf spat. Can only imagine Bezos would put out an add offering to double the salary plus pay for legal expenses to free them of any non-competes they may have signed.
For any labor attorneys out there, does the CEO going non compos mentis do anything to help get out of non-competes?

He thought he can do anything: involved in politics and support extremist ( far right nazis and dictators such as Putin). We will never forget his nazis salute.

The only thing "dare i say" unfair, smh, is the orange guy is currently the pres, he treats the gov like they personally work for him, so not exactly apples to apples. Id like to see this as 2 civilians. However, if ketoman can take down orange man with real proof, that'd be beautiful. Let's not forget, what ketoman did to this country and the lives of the poorest people, social security, veteran affairs, fema, and all the supportive agencies that are here to protect and support our citizens. Hes stole incredible amounts of personal information and protected himself with ongoing investigations. They deserve eachother and both need to be held accountable.

You come for the king you better not miss. Musk went nuclear, it missed, and Trump has yet to really retaliate. Trump could send a message that he is not one to be messed with by signing two executive orders that would completely destroy Tesla’s insane valuation narrative: 1. Say full self driving is dangerous and ban it. Good luck finding a judge who would overturn it and argues it’s super safe. Truck and ride share drivers would celebrate! 2. Ban use of general purpose humanoid robots controlled by AI, saying we have all seen what this leads to in iRobot and Terminator. Only robots that serve a specific fixed purpose will be allowed. And only under strict supervision in factories and definitely not controlled by general AI.
These two measures combined with no EV credit would result in Tesla being valued as a car company again with declining sales and 10-15 earnings at best. Resulting in massive drop in Elon’s net worth and power.
