Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That was enough to reverse a 6% decline in Tesla shares — a sign investors are optimistic that Musk will ditch the cheese-hat shenanigans and focus on his company’s rapidly shrinking market share
Those are some stupid fucking investors. My expectation is that continued public association between Musk and Tesla can only hurt Tesla from here on out. I can't see the people who have now embraced hatred of Must and his ideals will start buying his cars just because he's finished hurting the poor, sick, and elderly. Maybe, maybe, if Tesla gets a new CEO the company can rebound. But for me, as long as the money goes into Elon's pocket, it won't be a single penny of mine.
The thing is, those investors are in a Catch-22 situation.
Tesla's valuation is absolutely absurd. Even after all the value the stock has lost, it still has a P/E ratio of more than 100. Standard, boring, normal car companies that are well run have a P/E ratio of 7.
These investors have convinced themselves that Tesla deserves to be thought of completely differently than other car companies because they have a genius in charge.
If they ditch Elon, they have to admit that they're just a normal car company, and the right price for their shares is $14 each or so, not the $270 it is now. But, if they keep Elon, they have to convince themselves that somehow their sales are going to turn around and their genius who happens to be a Nazi will somehow convince all the people who hate Nazis to buy cars from him.
If they were smart they would sell before they're left holding the bag
He should look very close at one of his vehicles battery packs. Like reaaaaalllllly close. Boom!
Username shows bias. I’m ok with that.
Would be super if something actually blew up in his face.
Nothing can penetrate his laminated face.
Well deserved.
Literally plz
