Someone toss his ass in prison already!
I was living under the idea that the Load bearing snake oil salesman of the American Economy was Sam Altman.
Funny how he’s figured that out after it happens.
Are you maining with a lemmynsfw account?
Thats some big dick energy, so…probably the right instance.
100%, reddit with balls and other notable things.
1000%
Hell yeah 💪
3!
It’s because the company is fully subsidized by carbon credits and government funding. The crazy brand valuation is based on fully autonomous driving and person less cabs which will never happen at Tesla.
a.k.a government handouts
And vibes, don’t forget how the traders love their vibes!
Stop, I can only get so erect!
At least the converse isn’t necessarily true
I’m sick of Elon’s bitch ass face.
Exactly! I’m ardently waiting for someone to dirt nap this clown, so I never have to think about him again.
He’s scared to take a shit without an armed guard. Aparently, conveying this information counts as inciting violence on reddit. I just publically imagined having to stand there and listen to that flabby windbag take a shit and declared he couldn’t pay me enough. He thinks everyone else is as greedy as he is, and in his shitty vampire circle, he’s pretty much right. You couldn’t pay me enough to kiss that ass. My self respect is not up for sale
I would genuinely rather live under an overpass than have such a horrible job as having to work directly for that monster.
Also, it makes sense he would have such a fear of the bathroom; rats, snakes, specialized robots, and tentacles (in Futurama) can all make their way up into a toilet through the sewer system.
Edit: I just realized elon’s ketamine addled brain might genuinely worry that the sewer mutants from Futurama might pull him down there.
Is that a threat…?
I wonder who’s fucking fault that is
Well yeah, it was the US that put 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and demanded allies also slap high tariffs on Chinese EVs. Without this, Tesla would be more than trampled in those markets. Also, the only reason why Tesla turned a profit in Q1 2025 is because of the carbon credits that the US government gives it. Without billions upon billions in US government subsidies, Tesla wouldn’t exist.
he should be thanking obama for his survival.
Tesla board is not doing it’s job if they don’t replace Musky
That’s surprisingly modest of him, I’d have thought he would have put it the other way around.
He’s not going to get any help from China.
Yeah they’ll probably just nationalize his factory over there at some point and hand it to BYD along with all of the software and IP they can snap up from any servers and devices that are in-country
From what I hear BYD is better than Tesla at this point. I think we’ve come to the time where China is reaching parity with us tech. I mean what do we have that they don’t?
“Better” doesn’t tell the whole story. There are hundreds if not thousands of different technologies involved in making an electric vehicle, from material selection for the frame to batteries to all the different components, software, conforming, etc. BYD cars may be overall superior to Tesla cars (I don’t know if they are, both are above my budget) but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t two or three hundred little things that Tesla cars still do better.
The irony being, I trust the BYD vehicles more than I do Tesla to hold up. Chinese quality =/= crap quality anymore. They’ve done a massive manufacturing speedrun from zero to competitive in less than 20 years.
And Tesla’s been a constant pain of manufacturing blunders and recalls and dumb designs that break in stupid ways or are outright dangerous, even if they had EV tech way ahead of everyone else for the first 15 years of EVs being on the road.
Of course, shoddy knockoff products do exist still, but BYD and Xiaomi are not that.
BYD still isn’t as profitable on their EVs as well. They make most of their money on the PHEVs.
Obviously this decline in sales has an impact on that, but that’s a political/brand damage/Elon thing, not Tesla’s ability to make EVs that are more profitable.
It is very, VERY far from being that simple. They are several decades behind the US and EU in jet turbine technology, for instance. And their chip foundries are definitely not considered bleeding edge. You have to go to SK and Taiwan for that. And part of Taiwan’s publicized defense policy is “we will melt our chip foundries to slag if the PRC invades”. Them being basically the best in the world at chip fabrication was a strategic investment (in a very literal geopolitical sense) that they began in the 70s and 80s.
Taiwan specializes in microchips, and China having to order chips from them isn’t a big deal … in terms of building/assembling an electric car.
The question was “what do we have that they don’t” and the answer is “it’s complicated, but the list is not short”
It’s way past parity.
He probably meant to.
Says the guy who helped drive the “Ship of America” into the iceberg.
This guy is so entirely up his own ass.
I swear the way he stumbles around his words disarms people to the fact that he straight up lies all the time.
My understanding is that’s for warmth.
lol
Translation : “If I can’t keep stealing US taxpayers funds and funnel them into my companies, they won’t be able to exist on their own merit.”
It is long past time for torches and pitchforks.
Do you mean thoughts and prayers, or rifles and windage?
