Summary

Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.

Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.

Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.

Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.

    Over the weekend, he shared clip from a Tesla fan account of the prototype for the Cybercab, a two-seater robotaxi the company will allegedly be making by 2026.

    It is so accurate they qualified this with “allegedly” in this sentence.

      He doesn’t seem to be having a good time. It reminds me of the DPH sub.

    Oh wow look taking hard political stances is actually bad for business. A fact known for pretty much all of time. I wonder how the self proclaimed genius didn’t see this coming.

    I received 0 money from any Democratic donor. They don’t have to pay me to enjoy your downfall.

        Why pollute such a pristine environment. Just fire up the incinerator

          and risk having him make first contact with alien life?

          any alien civilization that comes into contact with him will default to exterminating the human race after incinerating him on the spot.

    The amount of raw, undiluted satisfaction that would come from watching Musk’s fortune disappear would probably be enough to tide me over for the rest of the Trump presidency. I could be sent to a concentration camp slaving away somewhere manufacturing MAGA merch, and I’d still have a smile on my face knowing Elon went broke.

      You would rather be a slave willing to die a horrible death, so one man will be a little more angry?

      Musk will never know being poor, no matter if all his stock is devalued. He will never be left to fend for himself or worry about his electric being cut off. Will always have servants cleaning up after him. Sure, whatever “power” he has may be gone without his massive wealth, but there are 1000 more just as evil who would take his place.

      Sure, a little schadenfreude is in order. But I certainly wouldn’t want to suffer that greatly just so musk can have a few more temper tantrums and things to remain the same.

      He thought he was smarter and that it would be over in a week. He thought no one would keep listening to the bad and they are the type of leaders that only listen to themselves within their own echo chamber.

    Apropos nothing, has there ever been an uglier name (aesthetically, aurally) than “Elon Musk”? Just say it out loud a couple of times. Does it not make you almost throw-up in your mouth a little bit?

          All I have is a couple dozen gallons of gasoline. But it’ll do more good on him than in my truck.

          The legs are really the problem when stuffing a chunky human into a barrel (or so I hear). And a guy like Elon will displace about 25 gallons of liquid, so we really only have to pay for 30.
