    Not to trow sand in the gears, but let’s wait until the numbers after the launch of the new model Y comes in. Some buyers might waiting for that one.

    The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.

      Cyber trucks were banned for sale in the UK, so maybe they have less far to fall? Also good on them for banning those mobile dumpsters in the first place!

    I dont think people grasp that he doesnt really care about tesla anymore, his shareholders are having a stroke, but he personally, has other sources of wealth that are more important to his megalomania now, namely starlink and spacex, and all the government subsidies that come from them.

    at the end of the day, tesla is just a car company, and when you’re a megalomaniac trying to design the entire world to your liking, thats small fry stuff

      Yes, the new version of “nobility” that doesn’t want to pay taxes. They make a company and then get government handouts.

      Eutelsat is providing a Nazi-free alternative to Starlink, and NASA is being shut down and I doubt the ESA or CNSA will want to cooperate with SpaceX.

    These guys want to be like Russia and other ‘strong men’ led countries so bad, let them have a Russian economy, and the same worldwide product ‘dominance’ as Russia too.

      Sorry, who are “these guys” you’re referring to?

      I hope it’s not the 380 million Americans who absolutely did not elect the white foreign colonizer to gut our economy.

    The EV market is crashing. If you exclude Tesla from the figures, the EV market is up 13%.

    Excellent. Fuck Musk and all his companies. Biggest leech on the planet. He didn’t make his money, he stole it.

      He did. But he stole it from the US government / tax payers. Every president since Obama has fallen over themselves to pour tax payer money into his arsehole. And he is living the high life because of it. This is literally what the US wants. They love subsidising this bitch.

    This is the best way to strike back against Musk.

    Hit his pocketbook. Tank his net worth.

      Tank his net worth.

      It’s not just his personal worth. Twitter purchase was/is largely dependent on Tesla stock. So he’s not only losing his own credit and should the trend continue some big players in investment business won’t be happy either. He has been an useful idiot on raising the stock prices, but he is very much sacrificial if the things go too far. I don’t know why he hasn’t been replaced already, but the trend in US of A seems to be that you can do whatever stupid shit you can come up with and keep doing that without consequences. So maybe the big players are still benefiting from what he and the other guy are doing.

        The thing is, not really sadly. He pretty much gave up on tesla. Most of his money doesn’t come from Tesla but from spaceX, and he uses his new place and contacts at the government to get contracts and stuff with SpaceX and destroy the concurrence.

        Tesla may be a bigger company, but he has more share in SpaceX, he has been selling Tesla for years.

      I know what you saying but the average would be adding those percentages together and dividing by the number of countries listed, which is -44.7% and is not getting the total sales for each year across all countries and get that -47.7% shown as total and is a more meaningful number because those markets are different sizes

        I still find it hilarious that he supposedly has a 165 IQ when everytime he opens his mouth he sounds so unintelligent and stumbles over words and uses meme language. I have never heard that man say a single intelligent thing in all the time I have known of his existence.

        I wonder what Chinese bloke he hired to take his IQ test for him.

            Musk has never been a genius. He’s a rich nepo baby who has purchased other people’s hard work and passed it off as his own. For years. He has never developed or created anything himself. Being super rich and buying promising start ups only to tank them and ruin the lives of the people who were invested in the business does not demand many IQ points. The drugs could certainly have chopped off a few more points, but do not tell me this man is or ever was a genius. He is a conman. The shit he does with the US government currently is literally what he’s done with everything he’s touched in his career. He buys his way in and plunders it from the inside until it no longer serves him and then he moves on to the next thing.

            There is a reason why I call him a human cancer.

          Nah, the drug abuse is just another fuck-up in a long string of fuck-ups. The dude’s always been a weirdo, he just didn’t have the balls to go full Monty until the entire world started fluffing him up as the IRL Tony Stark. He feels invincible and it’s pretty much our fault. I know I had some hope in what he was doing (even if just for a lack of better options), do I feel stupid now…
