Musk melts down as Tesla stock price plunges
The electric vehicle company has become a toxic brand as its CEO wreaks havoc in Washington
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.
Man. Poor guy. Really gotta feel for the nazi billionaires trying to destroy the world when their feefees get hurt. Chin up, champ!
Wow, the president is really scared, he even had to call trump for a photo op in front of a Tesla
He went from selling beans to selling shitty cars. The american dream is alive and well
Schadenfreude intensifies
Trump just f***ed Tesla. It had some coolness left in the brand but Truml just removed that on the White House lawn.
Today so many good news
He lost $23 billion from Tesla and $23 billion from tweeting about Carlos Slim
Has anyone told him about the pulling of bootstraps? I feel that if he really, realllly pulled then he could make that 46 bill back by the end of the week!
Sounds like he didn't work hard enough.
Maybe he should eat less avocado toast.
Shooting yourself in the head in a bunker speedrun GO!
Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
yummy.
Great to see. Fuckwad deserves it
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.
well deserved!
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 watching your downfall.
Some of us spent money to see this happen.
Ketamine is a hell of a drug.
He doesn't seem to be having a good time. It reminds me of the DPH sub.
That was an awesome read. Thank you.
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.
God damn is he stupid. TF did he think was gonna happen when he pissed off the kind of people that buy EV's
Nothing. He's not used to consequences.
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.
were doing something right if hes melting down.
Epstein we know you are linked with EPSTEIN you have been in a photo with Miss kungfu coordinator and epstein. his projection against pedophelia and transgendered people is very telling.
He's such a loser that his tears bring straight joy!
his tears is just straight alcohol, ketamine and cocaine now.
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?
The entire family has bad taste in names, Errol Musk... Also a jackass, but less of a large scale grifter.
Slartibartfast?
U wot
Trump sort of sounds like vomit getting caught in your throat after a burp, the Musk is what comes out when you finally hurl.
Trump is British for fart
Maybe he should do more Nazi salutes.
Lol he's so panicked he's had to order Trump to send a tweet to try to convince right wingers to buy EVs now.
This coming from the same exact person that called for a boycott of Tesla not just two years ago, is fucking rich.
Like, what in the actual fuck. How is it illegal to boycott Tesla? But it wasn't illegal when all the rednecks wanted to boycott bud-light for having a pro gay add? This clown is a fucking joke.
Because their boycotts usually consisted of buying a lot of the stuff they were angry about and then throw it away, burn it out shoot at it. 🤣
LOL! Remember when conservatives were blocking Tesla chargers with their lifted trucks? The vast majority of conservatives who can afford EVs don't want them anyway because it doesn't make "vroom, vroom" sounds.
How do you illegally boycott something? I know he’s a fucking moron but this is one of the stupidest things he’s ever said
So we can add "illegal" to the list of words Trump uses but doesn't know the meaning of.
In the victim of a hate crime!
That’s not what a hate crime is.
Well I hated it!
I'd argue that already was the case a few cort cases ago.
Is this real ? this sounds like actual schoolyard banter
It sounds way too coherent. It's actually a decently-written blurb and has too little ALL CAPS. I think they messed up the AI that writes his tweets.
Unfortunately yes, our president is a moron.
Holy shit I would laugh so hard if all these right-wing chucklefucks over-leveraged themselves on a Tesla, couldn't pay the monthly payments, the car got repo'ed and they lost their home in the process.
I fucking hate that man.
I would love an explanation of how the boycott against Tesla is illegal.
"L'état, c'est moi," so anything he doesn't like is illegal.
Man who doesn't drive buys fascist car to show solidarity with worlds richest man.
So, I wonder if he's really going to get one...he should like the new nickname they have.
Too bad must people are too poor to afford one! It's much easier to NOT buy something in protest than to have to actually purchase something.
That's the thing alot of them genuinely hate them. I don't know if even Trump can get right wingers to start liking them?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Nobody feels sorry for this asshole
Oh I’m so sad for him I’m even shed a tear 😹😹😹
"Nazi Cries"
"Sieg creil"
"Tears are a waste of good suffering"
And suddenly racist Felon wasn't racist anymore! Elon! The racist felon!....well not anymore.
Herr's the full song by FOC: https://youtu.be/X-jVAHAuiS4 just replace dragon with Elon.
JFC I'd actually appreciate the maga version of the Democrats.
These fictional Democrats are organized, well funded, cohesive and seem to have a great long term strategy for ruining republicans. With an organization like that you'd think that they would be in control of the government?
Remember the democrats that have futuristic weather machines? The MAGA Democrats have more powers than the whole MCU.
Elon: Does a Nazi salute then proceeds to do Nazi stuff within the confines of the U.S. government.
Also Elon: Why is everyone picking on me?
If he had just never started posting, he'd have such a better life.
I mean, it’s just really hard to understand why all these billionaires have decided to become so politically active. 1.) they have more than enough money for 10 more generations at least. 2.) if there is a serious tax hike or other threat to their wealth they can always quietly buy off some key politicians. 3.) if you stick your neck out like Musk (and some other billionaire cabinet members do) you run the chance that people will want to cut it off. If I were a billionaire I would make it my lives mission to ensure that the general public does not know my name.
this is when hes posting while not on ketamine, or cocaine.
Why does he keep bringing up Epstein? Trump was best friends with the dude
He's just thankful that Jeffrey was the man who introduced his brother Kimbal and his girlfriend. So Elon's sister in law is from the old Epstein stable. Keep it in the family.
Projection.
Let me know when the meltdown reaches the point that we seal him in concrete and bury the container in a cave in the deep desert for the next thousand years.
Fun fact: The Nuclear Energy Commission has several ideas on what to do with nuclear waste. Well before The Elder Scrolls: Arena came out, they floated an idea to bury the waste in remote locales, but they couldn't figure out how to mark it in such a way that would transcend language, since the waste will still be deadly several hundred times longer than any human civilization has managed to last. One of the many ideas they came up with was to cover the sites with what appear to be Daedric Ruins from Morrowind. AFAIA none were ever built, sadly.
Make America Build Daedric Ruins!
Also they were considering engineering cats whose colors change when exposed to rads
A good use for hostile architecture, unlike spiked steps that stop people from sitting on them.
Make them challenger deep to really drive home that Lovecraft feel and keep away those pesky freedivers.
Really feels like I got a front row seat to this massive dumpster fire of an administration.
He also circulated a video taken by a customer in their new Cybertruck, writing, “Heartfelt thanks to everyone supporting @Tesla, despite many attacks against our stores and offices.”
that's the meltdown.
It's RollingStone, btw, whom Yahoo is reposting. This is the Nü "May be collapsing" headline the corporate news sewers need to push. They're desperate for someone or something to go down so they can claim victory.
Musk is going to walk away with billions stolen from taxpayers, and he's not 'melting down' for shit, he just Xitted something before dosing himself and it sounds vaguely like something a regular person might have said so they jumped on it.
Did you read the whole thing? He also accused wealthy liberals of financing Tesla protests including two that are dead, one for about 5 years. When one of those people told him he was full of it, he replied with:
Musk replied, “Describe your favorite island vacation,” baselessly implying that Hoffman had visited the Caribbean private island of the late sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
I don't know if I would all this a melt down, but it's not that far short of it.
Btw, Musk should be cautious with this kind of accusation these days considering that his buddy Donnie was a very good friend of Epstein.
"anything I don't like is a Democrat."
"There's an investigation under way to find those responsible for my lost profits!"
$20 he'll demand arrest warrets or deportation of anyone not thinking about buying a tesla
wait; musk got child sex slaves from epstein? I was not aware of this, but he just admitted to it holy fuck is there anything evil this shit bag didn't have a finger in?
Where did you see he got sex slaves from Epstein?
"linked critics to jeffery epstein". from a normal shitty guy that would just mean he was saying 'everyone talking shit about me is also shit'. but he's not a normal shitty guy. he's a delusional solipsistic narcissist who cannot imagine anything but himself and has a larger share of society by percentage from a larger more materially and population abundant/surplus society than has ever existed before in the history of life on earth. so when he accuses someone, ANYONE of something, ANYTHING; he is admitting that he can at least imagine himself doing it.
which means he has imagined himself doing it. and if he had unlimited money and zero consequences and zero conscience, and was into that, why not make his most fucked up fantasies a reality? and he wouldn't have remembered the guy existed if it wasn't important. so he clearly enjoyed himself. and went back. a lot.
so yes. I can't prove it in court, because the stardards of courts are classist and bullshit and also I'm very high right now, but elon musk definitely fucked a buncha kids. also he totally looks like a pedo. i'd bet a kidney on that, if there were anywhere i trusted for that kind of thing.
"My actions are directly linked to tanking my company, so I've decided to double down on being a nazi."
Prime example of how the rich are in their positions because of sheer genius and literally nothing else.
I'll give credit where it's due. The memes, the 'swasticar' stuff - it worked. The negative bias isnt just some lefties, it's the drivers themselves feeling it. That stigma is not about to go away, so as long as Musk's name is attached, the only buyers will be ideological ones.
And, I don't think the chuds are enough to float
Oh well Elon, YOLO
This is one of the things that pissed me off during the election campaign. Calling Trump "weird" worked as well, for all of a couple of weeks, and then the party muzzled Walz and never let anyone say it again.
They had an effective ad campaign that hit their opponents right where it hurt - their fragile ego - and they just...gave up.
They had an effective ad campaign that hit their opponents right where it hurt - their fragile ego - and they just...gave up.
That's a great overall summary of the DNC right there.
that and parading his son around was a mistake. they shouldve ramped up the attack, and instead they just went into the background.
linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein.
Projection to the highest degree.
Take me back ...to the island.
Good. Fuck him and fuck that overvalued shitty car company.
Easy come, easy go. I think it was pretty obvious from the start that the richest man on Earth was balancing on a bloated balloon.
He's still filthy rich from the payouts he took along the way, but I guess he will soon feel the interests of the Twitter loans piercing into his actual assets.
What are the odds he had someone torch a few cars just so he could try involving militia, etc?
The old "look look antifa!"
How long until Trump announces a "strategic reserve" of Tesla stock?
I expect Elon will come out with Starlink guided AI tanks that Trump can spend billions from the effectively infinite defense budget on.
I hope it falls even more, what a loser
In an IDEAL world, Musk will be removed as CEO for both failure to perform (he's literally not doing his job given that he's doing all his DOGshitE) and the harm he's bringing to the brand. No other CEO would be allowed to get away with this.
Then, in a JUST world the stock will stabilize, start to grow again, and everyone will get back on the EV train with Tesla included. While the Muskrat watches from the sidelines like the loser he is.
CAVEAT: only if he also doesn't still own any more of the stock than he could get owning VTSAX like the rest of us.
Maybe its a bit of a spicy take... but honestly, I'd be okay with this being a death spiral for tesla. They played their role in getting EVs into the mainstream, now let their figurative head rot on a pike as a warning that letting a shithead nazi helm your company is an existential mistake, and not just a bump in the road.
Musk = POS Nazi wannabe!
He is a Nazi.
The invisible bitch slap of the market strikes again! 🧐
I mean they have shit QC, and their competition is fierce. The Cybertruck failed entirely as a product. That stock was overvalued for a long time. It was only high based on Musk. So it only stands to reason that it would fall based on him as well.
This is the true face of Musk, who is stuck perpetually in the mindset of a melodramatic 15 y/o.
It shows that a 5 y/o and a 15 y/o is running the country.
Ah, the invisible hand of the market, correcting over-inflated prices.
Maybe more ketamine will help.
Tesla is crumbling for sure.
Suck it Elon!
I hope it goes to zero
It's purpose was to trigger the other carmakers to sell BEVs. It has outlived its usefulness.
idk, maybe he should try doing his salute again or step his DOGE policies up a notch, that might save whats left.
...
Republicans thought government employees needing to divest was just to keep them from making money..
They never realized the reason high ranking government officials shouldn't be invested in private companies like this, is people will fuck your private company up when you do things people don't like.
Not to mention that once federal employees found out Tesla was in our main index, lots of people pulled their retirement out of stocks and put it in the "safe" index. Even if you don't care about Musk and Tesla, when it's obvious the market is gonna crash, people pull their funds.
Dude would even get away with it all if he didn’t post everything he did on the internet.
linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein.
If you're against me, you're a pedo!
Boofuckinghoo
