Elon deserves his own thread

bugger, don't know it, just been googling hits like 'what color is god's skin'. this one was a cracker.. ahead of its time, (like noiseworks), in this era of awkward workplaces with people 'reaching out', 'touching base' and 'checking in'.

He's been unhinged for a while. From 2018:
Awesome, Swellnet's therapy sessions continue.
Don't do twatter but I do like that quote from stu:
"kinda wish I was one of Elon's kids so I wouldn't have to see him anymore." says the world.

"Taking to X Saturday morning, Musk wrote, “An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.”
“ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix. ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel,” continued the adviser to President Donald Trump who encouraged anyone with related knowledge to share in the replies."

The less obvious solution:
Musk nearly had a little cry when interviewed about Tesla currently.
That is more than any empathy or thought or pity or nearly a little cry for the 000’s he has sacked whilst smiling smugly and squealing with delight.
Irony right there.
Interview with Elon, why he's doing it, in his own words:

Who would have thought it could happen. You call your customers parasites and they stop buying your cars…strange.

What in the fascist? Jan 6th though, definitely not domestic terrorism. s/
Another step closer to any protest of government policy, or as this shows, the protest of anything at all, being met with a boot to the face and jail time.
Electric charged energy transfer / peaceful protest
to be fair petals...
that term 'domestic terrorists' was a bit of a dem concoction...
I don't care what ya cause is, if ya firebombing shit, ya kinda fit the bill...
(didn't see any fire on Jan 6, I could be wrong)

Bill's been getting heat in his IG comments etc and accused of going "woke" for his recent shitting on billionaires and Free Luigi stance. Often this involves him being called a hypocrite because he's a millionaire. First, he's been on the fuck the mega-wealthy train for a while, second, don't these dopes know the difference between millionaires and billionaires? Thirdly, who the FUCK sticks up for billionaires. There's no reason for anyone to have that much wealth. None.

“ According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the United States remains the world's largest arms exporter responsible for 41.7 percent of international arms sales between 2019 and 2023, up from 38.6 percent between 2017 and 2021. During the most recent time span, the country supplied arms to more than 100 countries.”

“ Arms imports by the European NATO members more than doubled between 2015–19 and 2020–24 (+105 per cent). The USA supplied 64 per cent of these arms, a substantially larger share than in 2015–19 (52 per cent). ”

You think saying Jan 6th was domestic terrorism was a "dem concoction", even though that was the opinion of Republican FBI Director, Christopher Ray? OK.
Domestic terrorism transitioned to international.

You were specifically talking about Jan 6th though, weren't ya.
not specifically with the 'dems concoction' bit...
but it's all related
they've got years of form...
the bastardisation of language and law

Dems are fucked, yes I know, but you can make light of years of murders, bombings, arsons and assaults involving abortion clinics and their staff and that's ok? Nice.

Someone should tell the French protestors that!! It'll spoil their fun.
Come on guys, help a bloke out , poor bugger is down to his last 200 odd billion .
Jan 6 th wasn’t domestic terrorism ,
It was a failed coup attempt.
Then everyone went home.
Musks wealth might be all tied up in

Why else would you want Trump to advertise Tesla for you.
And Trump might be all tied up in Musk. ?

I think you may be confused about all his money being tied up in tesla shares . He has more than 1 company, I believe tesla will rebound anyway , probably not in the car division which has heavy competition from china , more in the robotics division. Either way jeffy , he won’t be going broke anytime soon . https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2025/03/11/what-is-elon-musk-net-...
What a time to be alive! Conservatives are switching to EVs while progressives advocate for nuclear weapons, climate change fund and welfare cuts to finance massive weapons purchases.

Tesla will crash even further but share price is only where it was in Oct. It’s a staggering collapse. But the growth over the 3 months of election cycle was also unprecedented. It’s a meme stock and such growth had no connection to anything meaningful or real.

Your still doing the left right left swerving thing,
Not sure who will be buying Tesla though,
Pro democracy people won’t MAGA is too poor and are anti clean air anyway ,
A 53 percent drop since November and Chinese AI companies taking advantage in that market,
Tesla being associated with Musk , a Nazi Billionaire, no wonder people want to wipe it out.

Good luck with that recovery?
You are funny in that you believe everyone has to be either left or right . Chinese EVs were on the rise well before Elon stepped in as Trumps right hand man . You must have a huge chubby at the moment with your favourite billionaires losing money this year . Do you recall how their wealth increased during covid ? I think they may just be a little bit in front still . You will need to campaign harder jeffy .

Space space
Because the traditionaally democratic US government has aligned itself with a tyrannical dictatorship
Wonder why that might change things???????

You must have some kinky fantasies if you keep associating politics with chubbies,
Is that why you liked Tulsi so much,
Oh yeah!
Interesting facts:
Tesla's earnings are not primarily from vehicle sales but rather: (1) government subsides for charging station infrastructure; (2) green credits paid to Tesla by other car manufacturers; and (3) their Bitcoin reserves ..... and all three (3) are subject to increasing future competition and/or market variations when it comes to the crypto.
Tesla's share price should still fall down to between 30 - 40% of current level based on how market's would generally value the price on a P:E basis, however, most pension and superannuation funds around the world have invested in the stock thus the price is artificially boosted .... at the minute, there is absolutely no reason why the funds should hold onto the stock in the medium term subject to individual fund criteria
Oh yeah, P/E is still around 120, even with this crazy crash. For example, Ford is around 7. Ok Ford is probably too low, solid company now but no one expects them to grow. But if Tesla is reduced to just a ‘automaker’ then it will go way more than 30-40%. Let’s face it, the whole buzz was around Elon so if Elon is not a factor anymore then Tesla has no future.
