    Not really. He’s been piloting it into a steep dive for awhile now.

      Let’s give him another 50 cool billion, surely that will motivate him to take it all the way to Mars, baby!

        Mars was a year away in what, 2019? At this point I’ve lost track of all the things he can do now, or that’s just a year away, yet still somehow hasn’t materialised. It’s almost like he’s an immoral, fraudulent grifter. Makes sense he’d endorse another of his kind. Birds of a feather, xitter together.

    He cares for Tesla about as much as he cares for his 18 children

    Tesla’s future is not the one I’m worried about.

    Imagine donating to the guy who wants to cripple your business. Then again Elon got his bag so…

          I suppose maybe if they start selling repackaged ICE cars with the Tesla badge. Now with authentic engine noises!

    It will be slow, and never complete, but Tesla is definitely being damaged by his erratic choices and eventually he will be forced out.

    But boy will it take losses.

      I don’t know how many people are like me, but I’ll never buy a Tesla out of principle. I will not support fascist adjacent assholes.

        Once you start looking into the products you buy, you may find it’s harder to do than you’d hope. This guy is just more incompetent at keeping quiet about it than most.

          That’s where I am at now. The whole “There is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism” thing really eats at you. But I still know I won’t buy a Tesla for a host of reasons.

        That, and they are sucky cars. Build quality is ass, they hide features behind DLC, they are designed to be tech bro minimalist to a fault, and sales are collapsing right now for Tesla.

    45 million a month I’m sure he’s going to be fine. Unless you think Trump’s the kind of guy who’s so principled he won’t carve out exceptions for his rich friends. But if you think that I don’t know where the fuck you were for four years

    I unfortunately bought in a few years ago when he was not so fucking crazy. My next car is going to be a Rivian R3X. That thing is fire and I’m happy I don’t know a damn thing about RJ Scaringe.

    If the convicted felon really cares about Elon, he should do the right thing: keep the money and drop out of the race.

    It doesn’t matter. He personally has enough money to live a thousand lifetimes in unbelievable luxury, and he doesn’t care about anyone else. He could lose 99% of all his money and still have $1,760,000,000.00. People truly do not grasp the ridiculousness of his wealth, because it is an unknowable number.
