“The Dems are going to go just as deep into selling to the stupid as the Republicans have ...”

From a business perspective, yes, there are lots of other people who would very much be able to run Tesla “better”. As long as you define “better” by metrics such as vehicle quality, customer satisfaction, and global sales. Problem is, Tesla is not a normal business, it’s also a bit of a quasi pyramid scheme stock…

Cue the world’s smallest fucking violin for the world’s richest man.

Elon lied on his citizenship application and illegally worked while on a student visa.

Tesla shareholders are the dumbest people on the planet it seems. Do they not realize that as soon as he gets paid, he is abandoning Tesla and moving to SpaceX, or worse, politics full time? Sales are down, cars are still shit, robotaxi is a fail and the man has lost his marbles completely. How will paying him $56B…

“Can’t park it, fit it on the streets, charge it, get it worked on, or get the software to work, had to give it baby bumpers, and people are constantly pointing and laughing at me.

Still love the truck.”

During the Covid shortages of 2020, Schneider Electric(Square D for you old heads) started building new capacity for US production.  They’re still not finished four years later.  This isn’t instantaneous.

Why do these idiots believe there is just open capacity waiting to be utilized? No car plant in the U.S. can just start making 50% more cars. Also Ford, GM, etc, dont make cars, they assemble them. Almost all the parts are made by suppliers. These suppliers also do not have open capacity to make 50% more parts that…

The other thing that the idiots/liars don’t understand is that the infrastructure necessary to start making those things again is likely gone. There aren’t a bunch of pristine, modern factories sitting around just waiting for somebody to turn the lights back on. We saw this when American steel started to die. We could…

Forget autos and auto parts, Orange Jeebus has no clue as to how much produce comes from Mexico. Five-dollar avocados is just the start.

Trump is envisaging a world where, to bypass the tariffs, automakers bring jobs and manufacturing flooding back to American soil. Maybe they will, but the millions of dollars that have been invested in Mexican and Canadian manufacturing over recent years suggest that maybe they won’t.

Failure to appear should be considered contempt of court.

In a couple of months none of this will matter.

Isn’t this Erin Brockovitch type shit the stuff people used to go to jail for?

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m starting to think that this Elon guy isn’t such a good dude.

It’d be stupid if this were a personal beef, but even factoring in what a petty grandstanding asshole Newsom is, the fact of the matter is Elno is actively fucking with politics and causing enormous damage because his feefees are hurt. Newsom quite reasonably doesn’t want to keep paying Elno to do that.

I would imagine the response from Musk would be to slow down deployment of upgrades/expansion of the Supercharger Network.

Boycott red states, all companies based there, and all products that come from there. Don’t move there, don’t travel there, don’t buy anything from there. Boycott them all.

Fuck Elon.  Bury him and his company into the ground.

The Confederacy surrendered but they never quit. Now that they are about to take the reins of our federal government, we real freedom loving Americans in the tax paying Blue States have to find every way possible to undermine the bullying dictators that are going to spend our federal taxes to uphold their bigoted…
