While Elon indulges in political theater and self-aggrandizing quips, Tesla is experiencing an unprecedented slump in both sales and stock value.

    Cry harder, little bitch. Hope you get fired the same way you fired thousands of federal workers.

    If he really cared maybe he should stop stretching himself thin, get out of DOGE, and stick to selling shitty cars

      The earlier Tesla’s weren’t so shitty. Not more than your average Kia/Hyundai EV anyhow in terms of being a car. The self-driving shit is another story.

      Cybertruck has been a dumpster fire since inception though.

      Yeah, if Elon could drop the politics, hand off X, and go back to just being a major investor in tech companies that actually have some pretty cool ideas, that’s be great.

          Revenge is overrated, and justice against the mega rich is rare.

          If guy could cut down on the K, learn to not be such a dick and go back to being the figure behind businesses that actual did have good overall intent (electric vehicles, global Internet access, etc) instead of bullshit politics or seig-heils that’d be good for everyone.

            I admire your willingness to forgive or at least forget.

            I’m not going to be satisfied until the power he’s been abusing is completely taken away

              Oh he absolutely needs to be stripped of that and barred from any association with politics, just to make sure that if he goes away he stays away

      I think the damage is done even if he were to backtrack. People will just assume he’s backtracking because of money and that’s it. Not because of his actual ideals

    Oh no. Let me cry for the richest person in the world who also happens to be a fascist and spent the last few months posting on Twitter and running around the US president instead of doing his job as a CEO of a company. Total crocodile tears for this guy.

    You reap what you sow.

    So… stop? You have more money than anyone could ever spend. Just fuck off already. Stop being so fucking evil.

  • I hope his panic attacks have panic attacks. I hope he goes to bed and never rises for fear of the mess he’s made. I hope he stumbles in his fear, and fucks with someone with little enough left to lose they do something about it.

    Fuck you F’Elon Ballstink, if your dreams come true I will personally stowaway on a rocket to Mars after your death to shit on your grave.

    How does this thread have so many comments and upvotes without a single critique of the source? “TV Fandom Lounge” sounds like some weird AI blog site, and the headline claiming Musk was “close to tears” (in quotation marks, so apparently someone said this…?) has nothing to do with the rest of the text. Nowhere does it clarify who said this about the interview, nor does it even mention crying or tears once outside of the clickbait title. And if you actually bother to watch the interview where he is supposedly “close to tears”, he looks completely normal (by his standards). Media literacy is completely dead it seems, people are happy to mindlessly circulate complete garbage as long as it fits whatever political narrative they are trying to push.

    He should list five things he’s done for TSLA this week.

    Absentee CEO.

    Oh no, maybe he should’ve tried minding his own business instead of trying to destroy democracy in multiple countries at once!

      Oh no! Fantasy business failing just like those fired engineers with safety concerns said it would!

      Too bad the rare resources are already wasted!

      Let me… finish writing out… this reality check for… 0 fucks.

      Liquidate that shit into individual gardening grants and public train money.
