Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO’s idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.
I’d also rather Tesla be dead.
Good news! He died 7 January 1943.
:(
Blue collar MAGA voters these days:
It’s not even a thought, because they don’t have any. True MAGAts just do whatever they’re told.
Yeah they spoke at the RNC and the Republican ghouls at the top weren’t happy with their message.
I would also like to see Tesla either unionized or dead.
Prefer to see it dead and Elon’s method of influence gone.
Unfortunately he’ll still have hundreds of billions of dollars, even without Tesla, so his influence will never go away. He could lose 99% of his wealth and still be a billionaire.
Then the less respect he has from the general public, the better.
What do billionaires do with their billions in prison?
Use it to avoid going to prison.
Name one billionaire who has gone to prison.
Elizabeth Holmes, and her story is very similar: overpromise, underdeliver, boast, defraud, intimidate.
PS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Stanford this guy too
Sooo, two? IIRC she didn’t have enough time to build connections and she didn’t know how to walk in billionaire shoes.
I can guarantee these pricks are untouchable.
That’s because billionaire means nothing. e.g. Jordan Belfort was almost a billionaire, but still went to jail like small fry.The untouchable ones are oligarchs, that is what people are implying and it is much scarier to have a 6-year-old messing around as one.
Nice!
Not a billionaire, but Bernie Madoff got real close.
Madoff made the mistake of stealing from people more powerful than him. Billionaires always steal from poor people, and thus incur no wrath from people who could punish them.
Yep. Madoff committed the worst crime in America: messing with rich people’s money.
Thanks, Elon. You’ve convinced me. I won’t vote for Joe Biden in November.
Funny, now I have to write Biden in so he can kill Tesla
Look at all this Republican propaganda working! First I refused to vote for Hunter Biden for President in November, and now I’m not even voting for Joe Biden in November. I’ll go even further, there is not a single man on the Democratic or Republican tickets I’m planning to vote for for President in November.
I agree. I have yet to find a man worth voting for. I guess we’ll have to wait until the DNC. The Democrats might nominate the man I’ll vote for, but I doubt it.
I’m not gonna vote for a woman either. Not until us Europeans are allowed to vote in US elections.
I’m very amused that five people apparently didn’t get the joke. I’m glad you did.
Damn and they just talked me out of voting for Hunter.
I was also ready to vote for Obama a third time until they convinced me he wasn’t born in the United States.
Fortunately at this point it no longer matters if Tesla is dead or not. All car manufacturers caught up. Genius Musk singlehandedly destroyed the biggest Tesla fan base and opportunity to capitalize on being first.
yes, he already got his bonus, but he will never let a good catastrophe go to waste and use it to discredit unions.

Just yesterday, on Twitter, I saw a guy selling his Tesla because of Elon’s anti-trans moves. Actively asking for other EV recommendations, and getting a ton.
For those just joining us, Elmo has driven the car company Tesla into a smoking hole in the ground. Stand by for further incorrect statements and wild assertions of blame.
stand by and watch indeed…
I’m really not sure his play. Like even he should realize that directly supporting the guy that has stated multiple times that any transportation outside of big oil is bad, alienating himself from the side that would most likely actually buy his technology due to the “green” aspect of it is insane.
His play is that he’s above money and the law and is desperate for people to laud him. Beyond that, there appears to be some unfortunate drug use and a small host of sycophants that constantly encourage him.
Business doesn’t really enter into it, afaict.
This tool can’t accept he is the cause of the poor sales. He alienated his customers with his right wing rhetoric.
Teslas are impractical, cheaply made and expensive. That’s why they aren’t selling. Electric vehicles aren’t selling in general because they don’t make sense for the money. It’s a forced meme by special interests.
EV is a premium product, they are even designed to look different than other vehicles. People who buy an EV have a choice, it’s not a lowest bidder type situation.
Tesla’s used to be the cool EV. Sure, one could buy a different one but they are not as cool. Then Elon opened his mouth and the veil was lifted. Turns out he isn’t a genius, never got accepted to a PhD program, and his undergrad in physics is highly suspect. Then Elon went mask off as a fascist, right wing clown.
People buy EV’s are usually doing so for a status symbol and for the saving the environment ideology. Elon and his companies no longer represent that, and Teslas are no longer selling.
It is not a forced meme, my friend. Certainly economics play a role, but so do logistics. I live in an apartment with no way to charge an electric car, so even if I wanted one, it is moot. For now.
Take a look at electric bicycles and make a guess what will happen with electric cars. All of this depends on the price of gas, of course, and each country’s fetish with driving large trucks.
tf are you talking about? Forced meme? The numbers work for.many people and if they do they buy them. If they don’t then they don’t buy them.
Translation: Biden is utterly controlled by those dirty little working class people and would rather they have benefits and a safe work place over me and my rich friends making more money.
As the vice president of my local, I agree.
‘No Business Which Depends for Existence on Paying Less Than Living Wages to Its Workers Has Any Right to Continue in This Country’
Oh, is that stupid fuck gonna do something fucking stupid? Ha! Fuck you, Lonnie, you fucking piece of shit. I would have bought one of your vehicles if it wouldn’t have put money in your pocket. Your dumbass truck looks like ass.
Wouldn’t every business be better dead than ununionized? I would rather Elon was dead personally, maybe Tesla isn’t that bad but we hate him so much we can’t see it? I dunno enough about them as a company, but I do want gas cars to only be in museums, so I’m hoping there’s something there to salvage.
Why would a business be better dead than unionized? If it’s making money still then the answer is always no. Stupid statement.
Walmart is making money.
Should be unionized.
Imagine how many hundreds of millions they have spent to keep their stores from unionizing. All to keep pay down. How much profit is in it for them.
100 percent. Once a company gets over a certain threshold of employees it should be mandatory honestly.
Does Tesla fail to meet that threshold for you?
Fuck Tesla lol musk is a shitbag. Companies much smaller than them should be forced to unionize. I’m all for unions. Was thinking maybe 50 employees as the cutoff?
Stop thinking from the business’ point of view instead of the workers.
As a worker, consumer, and employer myself there is benefits to each and every one of those things, and they work best in harmony with one another.
You can pick two of those 3 things and argue in good faith, but not all three. Actually two of them are mutually exclusive.
Elaborate
Just saying that proves you see it from the company’s point of view. The flat signs should not be more important than the people working for it. Sorry, corporations aren’t people. Make people’s lives better, every time. You can’t make a business happy, it’s not a real entity.
Prioritize your workers (as in, be unionized) and your customers. Those are the only people involved. Stockholders and board members are just leeches. You’re either producing the goods and service, or you’re consuming it. Nobody else matters or should be considered.
CEOs making 4 or 5 extra digits than their front line workers are the absolute worst.
Any action taken against any union by the company should just get the company bankrupted and paid out to the employees tbh.
Anything less is just the business telling the workers to their face "we want you to make us way more money than you’ll ever even hear about while we figure out ways to legally take everything we can. Their objective is typically to not spend any money on employee well-being unless it is actively costing them more to not do it.
Almost nobody is on any company’s side at all (other than the owner). People want good working conditions and good living conditions. No one cares how happy the business feels.
yeah, I don’t hate tesla or spacex, just the psycho puppetmaster.
I honestly don’t know enough about Tesla to say I don’t hate it, but I like the fact their existence and failures are providing research data for future EV manufacturing. But I at least give them room to prove they’re ok underneath their overlord.
especially with Tesla, at some point the lines blur.
I used to love tesla, and then the cyber truck came out, and they have become more and more consumer unfriendly.
You can say that its just Elon’s actions, but how can you separate that from the buisness
I think most people at Tesla secretly hate the cyberstuck.
Tesla and Musk owe sooooo much of their success to huge federal and state level EV tax bonuses and rebates. The government essentially subsidized his company for decades. He decided to dump all that money into an ego boost instead of R&D, and let other manufacturers catch and even surpass Tesla in technology and features. He’s done. Tesla is done.
Several American car companies owe their existence to the government.
