I was wondering if anonymous had anything to do with it.

I did a double-take today when I spotted a Tesla passing me with the number plate "88 HEIL" 😮 

On second glance it wasn't quite so bad, but still, the middle section "88 HL" centred under the Tesla badge isn't exactly a good look! I wonder if he realises.

A trumpcession could well see Trump blaming Musk, that would be an interesting break up, think Cummings & Johnson

Posted here... as the Trump thread seems to have a five hour delay on it... and because Mike Myres as Elon Musk is worth a watch.

Tesla shares rallying a bit the last 48h. Not really clear why mind you, and what a lot of the Tesla “bulls” have been saying seems to rely on wishful thinking, unicorns and fairy dust given its track record of not delivering.

Its a hedge I guess - you bought at 240 last year, sell at 350 last week, then re-buy at 240 yesterday and you locked in 110 profit, and if Trump's support for Elon extends as far as just giving Tesla govt. cash, which it may well do, you might get to make that 110 all over again. If it doesn't you can watch the stock fall another $110 before you're in the red, which its unlikely to do... That is of course unless the sales numbers really, really tank, which they still have time to do as we'll not see the effect for another month or two yet.

I think, from the comments I see online whenever a Tesla comes up, that that ship has sailed. Plenty of other non-toxic EV options out there now. Very few people are going to put their money into a car that's going to get so much hate.

"Not really clear why mind you"
Because trump had a Tesla forecourt promo event at the White House

I’d imagine that the overlap between people who want an EV and people who like Trumpist politics is not large, so it remains to be seen whether that promo event is a good or bad thing for Tesla.

But it is a meme stock, the car sales fundamentals don't matter for now, trump and by association musk supporters will buy the stock without even considering the cars.

Unless the corporate investors are getting back in, which would be much more of a surprise.

IMO the only thing Tesla can do to turn this around is dump him as CEO but that aint gonna happening.

That would make sense if the current share price was based on the fundamentals. As it's not getting rid of Musk would likely make things much worse.

Not all of them. Aren't they a bit of  flash status symbol nowadays rather than a climate change solution? Plus the crypto bro car of choice

That's just thanking Musk for using his propaganda machine to support genocide in Gaza.

94% of Germans say they wouldn’t even consider buying a Tesla.

Can't follow that link.

A much bigger percentage of Germans voted afd, and while 95% is probably reflective of Germans I work with, that sounds like selective questioning (unless afd supporters say they won't consider tesla not because of Musk but because, like most people really, they are unaffordable and out of their purchasing power).

What?  AFD got 21% and before that were publicly lambasting Tesla in print and digital media.  I’d imagine the Venn diagram of Vote AFD and Buy Tesla was vanishingly small to begin with.

The survey is of 100k Germans.

I think it is,aligning with the climate deniers and the drill baby,drill brigade when your attempting to sell a warm fuzzy eco product that intends to be very eco friendly and green when these things do not matter anymore.

Perhaps the plaid v2 will be a v8 powered hybrid with straight thru exhausts.

AFD got 21% 

 

OK, I assumed your point was that 95% of Germans were not buying tesla because of Musks right wing activity, 21% of Germans voting afd and having no problems with far right politics, would be "far more" than the 5% of Germans who would  still buy tesla.

No 79% won't buy because of right wing activity.

The other 21% don't like his anti union activities tho' the AFD leadership like his money.  Also - people are not as stupid as he things - - and he reposts some stupid stuff now.

Meanwhile in Glasgow three Tunnocks heavy lift boosters being prepared for launch. Turns out Musks 'Mars' mission is just a confection

I think the GOP are about to discover FAFO.

Quite how the Trump/Musk axis of evil will respond remains to be seen.

I wonder why? 🤣

If my boss lost 30% of company value due to being a fricking nazi, I would be looking for 'new ideas' too.

Tesla is toxic stock.

Although I imagine it will bounce back hard when musk is removed.

I’m not sure. A lot of the value of Tesla hinges on his perceived genius.

This seems a succinct summary of Musk’s problems. It’s odd then that his financial cheerleaders are willing to puff up the price of Tesla stock still though…

That’s the thing though - a lot of what he offers is either vapourware or clearly designed as a spoiler for something that actually works (see: Hyperloop and high-speed rail)
