    Tesla stock was at $144 a year ago and is at $253 today. 5 years ago it was at $47. With income at $0.12 per share it is not like any of those are even close to reality. However they are what needs to fall to kill the Elon.

      Haha I love that we all thought the same thing.

      The Nazi salute by Musk didn’t sink this company?

        I mean… if Trump can mock a disabled person and publicly brag about sexually assaulting women, then play right out of Hitler’s playbook, be impeached twice, and still be elected again, who knows?

        If you look at the TSLA stock, it’s now roughly where it was 4 years ago.

        It’s sinking, don’t you worry

        Even if musk resigns from the doge Nazi bullshit, this fascist has shown his true colours.

        Tesla can eat shit and go tits up. Fuck Tesla and fuck the share holders! I look at the current crop of shareholders as greedy Nazis.

        Bankrupt musk.

        Probably. The right isn’t going to go electric, not with Trump badmouthing them still. And the left is never touching that brand again.

      Yeah for real, wtf? Is the offset due to all of the pro Elon people or rich people buying them?

    Tesla is never going to recover from the Musk effect. They have to convince Musk to fully divest to slowly convince would-be buyers that they won’t give their money to an ultra-billionnaire neo-Nazi when they buy a Tesla vehicle.

      They won’t survive without musk. They’re a hype company.

      They have decent infrastructure, but the car brand is as good as dead.

      They’ll sell their charging infrastructure to ExxonMobil or something before 2028.

        Well that was a foregone conclusion when he fired the charging infrastructure team after snorting some bad ket.

        While I hate the guy with a passion, I think you’re underestimating Musk.

        He has enough charisma and can-do mentality that, if he shuts up with his most blatant political bullshit and actually focuses on making better cars, Tesla will continue to grow massively.

        Like, if he goes to work on designing a few new models that fix the flaws in current Teslas, and adds an actual pickup to the lineup while pivoting the cyber truck to a limited-edition “meme” vehicle, they’ll be pumping out cars like crazy.

        Edit: y’all seem to have amnesia and forget that, before his coming out as a nazi scumbag, a few years back there was no shortage of people ready to hail him as the second coming of Jesus…

          Ha. Musk doing design work is hilarious.

              Let’s take a look at the more recent Cybertruck, famously his baby, before we start calling him a compotent designer.

          I think you’re underestimating how much he has ruined this company and his reputation. I dreamt of owning a Tesla long ago. Now, there is nothing he can do that will make me reconsider purchasing a Tesla.

          Even if he leaves the company, I will not buy one. Even if he fully divests from Tesla, I will not buy one.

            I’m in the exact same boat, I considered buying a Tesla in a distant past, but the quality issues held me back. Dodged a bullet there, won’t touch one with a 10 foot pole to save my life now.

            But there’s many out there who don’t care or have short memories, and the richest man in the world can sure as hell afford all the PR he needs to wash away all the dirt, if he shuts up and goes back to running companies…

            My guess is Tesla will have grown their revenue by this time next year. Or you could be right and it goes up in flames, guess we’ll find out at some point…

      This result has probably been priced in since it hit the current floor in March. The bump after the report is likely because there were no bombshells in it. They’re saying they’re still on track for all the vaporware that the valuation is based on. It will drop again when they’re inevitably delayed and it becomes clear the robots and AI taxis aren’t revolutionary but just exactly what other companies already beat them to.

    The stock is pretty flat despite the bump over the winter. It’s approximately the same as it was last fall. Can’t believe it went up relative to Muskrat’s involvement in politics.

    Elon had to stop the regulatory investigations into him. He had to keep himself out of jail. We wanted to secure more government contracts to tower projects.

    Tesla was a means to an end for Elon, and Elon doesn’t care at all about anyone except himself.

    And Elon took care of anyone in the government who could enforce the rules that were supposed to enforce procedures with stock and loans.

    I find it hilarious that most media outlets blame the fall on Leon not being present at Tesla, when it’s his very existence that has caused things to plummet. The last thing he should do is return to Tesla. The board should fire his ass and try to rebuild what’s left of the brand.

      The board is his brother and a bunch of conservatives. He hand picked them.

      They ain’t firing anyone.

          Iirc basically all the board members and higher ups that get stock sell it off as soon as they get it. None of them have bought more for quite a while. So unfortunately it seems like they’ll float on.

      They’ll never do that because 95% of the company’s value is based on Elon’s hype and bs. If it was valued like the normal car company it is, the share price would be maybe $10
