Does he not realise that it's his association with tesla that's fucked it?

Returing will resolve nothing. Except his poor bwuised ego someone bring the poor dear his ~~handlers~~ sycophants

I'm sick of Elon Musk's fucking face.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Is he going back to his bunker to off himself like his idol, Hitler.

[–] Zacpod@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Here's hoping!

Is it too late? We can only hope it is!

I love the assumption that somehow the problem was that he wasn't spending enough time at Tesla, as if the Cybertruck wasn't 100% his baby through and through. Clearly, with more genius ideas like that the company would be doing so much better.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Full self driving in the next 5 years! [Elon Musk, 2016 and every year since]

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

I believe he only owns 10%ish of the company now. And most of his investments are in spacex. So I'm honestly not sure what hes going to do.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 70 points 13 hours ago

People won't forgive the damage he's done to the country that welcomed him.
People won't forget the Nazi salutes.

That's what he's bringing back to Tesla. Unless Tesla severs all ties with this toxic liability, they're doomed.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 36 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It's not just Twitter and Tesla anymore. Anything he touches will make most people revolt and move away Although some people can't be saved and will follow him. But basically I think he's done.

[–] mutual_ayed@sh.itjust.works 6 points 12 hours ago

There was inverse Cramer, now it's inverse Musk.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 10 points 10 hours ago

I like what Walz tweeted about this, something like he's gonna pause destroying your retirement so he can go save his.

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 28 points 13 hours ago

He was always a net negative to operations, but he's substantially declined in his drug abuse and mental health since his foray into politics. He's going to wreck anything he touches with his hubris.

Of course it could take a long time for his faithful to come to terms with that.

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 19 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I will never buy a tesler. there are way better EVs on the market already.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

plenty of EVs that have a good steering wheel that doesn’t fly off your hand while you’re driving.

Not to mention, circular in shape, and not a copy of a fucking airplane yoke.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

But it’s all computer.

[–] chilldrivenspade@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

It’s just a stock manipulation tactic, he changes nothing, too busy in a k hole obsessing over lgbtq people

[–] boolean_sledgehammer@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

Even if the boarding directors fired Musk and did everything they could to disentangle his diseased legacy from the company, Teslas would still be overpriced shitboxes with serious quality control issues.

He can bring Donald and several other Congress and his Admins with him too. We can create a GoFundMe.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago

He has been DOGED.

[–] chilldrivenspade@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

How long before the Elon effect resumes? 2 days?

god I hope so

It's definitely not too late to reverse the damage

If he genuinely apologized to people, denounced Trump, and started acting normal, I believe it would be ok to buy a Tesla again. He'd also need to start moderating X properly and stop allowing assholes to pollute it with nazi like propaganda

However, as it stands, he's basically shat on the people who buy his products and supported the ones who scaremongering against EVs.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Do you think anyone could ever belive a word he says? If he came out tomorrow saying he realised he was wrong, and regrets everything, how would you ever actually trust this piece of shit?

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

It would take literally years of positive actions on his part to try to rebuild his trust. But I don’t think Tesla has years at this point given the flood of EV options that are becoming available from established automakers as well as other startups like Rivian.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

He's a Nazi. He will go to his grave believing that he's right, just like a majority of the Nazis we already killed. Our job now is to speed up that process.

We can reverse the damage he's caused, but the odds of him seeking actual redemption are so small it might as well be impossible.

[–] ilmagico@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

It's gonna be a looooong time before he can redeem himself in any possible way, and by that time, if ever, he'll be likely dead. The best he can to for Tesla is to disappear, step down and fully divest his Tesla stock, then maybe Tesla (not Musk) will be redeemed.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Fuck him! And his pos goons.
