I, for one, definitely won't be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

It sucks, where is the 2016 Musk. That dude seemed to really want to help the world.

Tesla was in a difficult position, but was really doing good things, SpaceX was just getting off the ground (pun intended), The Boring Company wasn't a thing yet.

But post 2016, he just seems to get worse and worse, meme coins, weird birther shit....

I used to really want a Tesla, they seemed like a car for me, but now that I am getting close to being able to afford one....well no, I think I'll probably get a polestar. Musk you went from what I would have called a visionary to a joke then kept sliding into actively dangerous. Shame really.

I own 2 Model 3’s. I waited in line the day before the reveal to plunk down $1000 to reserve it sight-unseen.

I will never buy a Tesla again, and want to unload my 2 as soon as a comparable replacement is available. I’m embarrassed to drive mine around.

I'm really hoping Rivian can pull off mass production of the R2 and R3.

The guy has simply lost it.

Complete idiot. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut.

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 87 points 1 day ago

True. Jeff Bezos probably the most evil man on earth, but he knows to keep his mouth shut. So his business just getting bigger and no one really care about him and most importantly the media mostly just leave him alone.

I wouldn't say no one.

Imagine getting so mad online that you had a $44 billion dollar, years long meltdown about it. You wouldn’t have to pay me 1% of that to never post online again.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

I know the exact number someone would have to pay me to never post online again. That number is 3 orders of magnitude smaller than 44 billion. I could take less than that but I want to be compensated for giving up a fun little hobby.

It's the usual narcissist trait of earnestly believing all your thoughts are important.

He totally has a framed photo of just himself in his office, just like his new buddy boy Donald. And I bet they don't even like each other. They both want something and as soon as one of them get it the bromance will be over instantly.

Whatever happens next month, I doubt Elon’s decision will age well. Even if Trump wins, I would be shocked if he doesn’t turn on Elon within a year.

This is the key takeaway, imo.

I mean they're also really shitty cars. As much as the muskrat as poisoned the image of the company, I think a lot of the loss and sales is due to other competitors having caught up and being higher quality.

You might want to actually look at one or test drive one

[-] krimson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I don't drive a Tesla because I have never liked Musk. Apart from that imo the only model that is somewhat good looking is the model S but still very overpriced for what you get.

Dude keeps surprising me with his stupid decisions. Can't imagine the shareholders are happy with his newest pro Trump thing, once again showing he is a huge narcissist.

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 47 points 1 day ago

I agree. Many companies have shady practices but very few of them have CEOs that show their shitty character as open as Elon Musk. One important reason of buying an electric car instead of a ICE car is causing less harm / negative impact to the world. And people who make their buying decision based on that in many cases don't appreciate people constantly lying and promoting fachism. I personally won't buy a Tesla as long as he is involved.

Aren't they releasing quarterly numbers tommorow? I guess we will see what "all time high" means very soon.

Edit: Earnings release today after market clothes. Earnings call tommorow.

Note, they won't tell how many teslas they sold, but they will report how much their profit was.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I mean, yeah, all time high. They're gonna go down.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Is that a real picture or AI?

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 day ago

It's edited. In the original you can see Musk's tongue in Trump's mouth.

[-] Zomg@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

It's a super super very real picture, bigly real, people are saying...

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

I mean people are, you know people are asking about the photo folks. Oh my god are they asking about the photo. Over and over, and people are saying folks, let me tell you. Nobody is asking about what’s going on in the White House right now. Nobody, is, asking.

Nobody wants to ask. You know why? You know what sleepy Joe and Kamala are doing in the White House? Right now? As I type this message on lemmy and with minimal effort trying to imitate Trump they are doing crazy things.

They are bringing insane asylums into the US. I don’t know what an asylum seeker is, but we’ll get to the bottom of it.
