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.
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.
Good, strip his US citizenship and send his worthless back to South Africa.
We don’t want him back, send him to Antarctica.
Just grant him his wish to go to Mars. We all get a happy ending ;)
and risk having him make first contact with alien life?
any alien civilization that comes into contact with him will default to exterminating the human race after incinerating him on the spot.
Why pollute such a pristine environment. Just fire up the incinerator
I’m amazed the stock is still as high as it is. Anyone buying a Tesla right now is making an unpopular statement in most the world.
ive seen an increasing amount cyberdumpsters in my blue area since last year, one regularly picks up the gf in my neighborhood. the people buying it is mostly ignorant of musks tantrum and his bigotry.
idk, maybe he should try doing his salute again or step his DOGE policies up a notch, that might save whats left.
Good. Fuck him and fuck that overvalued shitty car company.
Musk = POS Nazi wannabe!
He is a Nazi.
Good 👍
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!
Aw, hes down to only $400 billion. However will he survive?
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
Nazis aside, the cars aren’t shitty, or at least not the two cheaper, popular models. They certainly aren’t best in class, but saying they are shitty really undersells the good engineering that went in them, despite apartheid boy’s best efforts.
What makes you say this? All the statistics I saw (not that many, but enough to get a vibe) were pretty poor, and that’s from before he went mask-off capital owner.
From what I’ve read, everything related to what makes the car move - the battery stuff, motors, etc - is, or maybe was, ahead of the competition. The infotainment was also the only one that didn’t suck, and didn’t have the familiar car lag.
Also the whole integration with their charging infrastructure still appears to be the absolute best - you park and plug in, nothing else. The navigation being very precise with charge estimations, and reroutes to charge spots when needed
This is the stuff I read. Not very scientific, but indicative of piss poor quality, especially given the price range. Where are you finding your stuff?
I can’t find any article that goes into any useful detail about the first part, so take that with a grain of salt. Most vaguely mention how the system has very few moving parts, the car is very aerodynamic, and praise the battery thermal management.
The rest though, that’s immediately obvious from any video review you watch
Y’know, if this gets conservatives to actually start being interested in EVs maybe that’s not as bad of a result as it could’ve been
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.
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
In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means. So I guess if one was to “boycott israel” while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.
you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means
As performative as that is, it’s just bizarre to imagine as a business having to ask “if I just happen to have not had any contracts with Israeli entities am I in violation of my contract with this random rural Texas county’s public works department?”
There’s also a clause where you agree not to perform an abortion while on duty.
It’s really weird and probably comes from Abbott saying that all money from the state supports Israel and that no money is used to fund an abortion.

That feels like the government placing limits on the rights of corporations to express political views, which SCOTUS has stated is illegal (if you define speech as campaign contributions, which it does).
Not just corporations, but also individuals with a government contract and may also apply to government/school district employees
He’s going to go a buy a Tesla tomorrow? I’m pretty sure he didn’t even keep the wrapped cybertruck that was gifted to him by those manosphere podcasters a while back.
Does trump even know how to drive? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him driving anything except a golf cart.
i heard he never got his license. made sense if yuor being driven everywhere in a limo.
He’s a New Yorker, too.
Would have loved it if someone hit him with one of these in the debates
Lots of people in NYC don’t have a license. They don’t need them. It was a bit of a culture shock when I visited.
He definitely doesn’t drive his own golf carts
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.
This coming from the same exact person that called for a boycott of Tesla not just two years ago, is fucking rich.
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.
Right? What’s he gonna do? Force us to buy Teslas with no money?
They make great fireplaces.
Especially considering the Anheiser Busch (or however it’s spelled) boycot over someone else’s gender identity.
The ones yelling “Snowflake!!11” for a decade turned out to be crybabies. Who woulda thunk.
and busch had the last laugh, because they got ALCOHOLICS hooked they will never stop drinking busch beers.
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.
So, I wonder if he’s really going to get one…he should like the new nickname they have.
Is this real ? this sounds like actual schoolyard banter
First time reading one of Trump’s posts? They’re all like this. In fact they’re often worse. He often makes use of schoolyard insults, uses CAPS LOCK, and he has the vocabulary of a 5th grader. To anyone with half a fucking braincell, he’s a giant manbaby.
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.
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.
pro-trans*
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. 🤣
So we can add “illegal” to the list of words Trump uses but doesn’t know the meaning of.
I’d argue that already was the case a few cort cases ago.
In the victim of a hate crime!
That’s not what a hate crime is.
Well I hated it!
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.
Far too vague for this timeline. More specificity, please.
Yes
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?
Man who doesn’t drive buys fascist car to show solidarity with worlds richest man.
his eyes do look reptilian
after stringing out on ketamine and booze. wonder if he uses a vasoconstrictor on his eyes
“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.
Maybe he should do more Nazi salutes.
Trump just f***ed Tesla. It had some coolness left in the brand but Truml just removed that on the White House lawn.
Teslas have been the official MAGAmobile for a while now. The brand has been tainted for at least the last 6 months. Its just reaching a critical point where the stock is finally starting to crash. It will eventually end up around $20, which is where it belongs.
linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein.
If you’re against me, you’re a pedo!
