Summary
Tesla reported its worst quarterly results in four years, with Q1 income down 71% and EV sales falling 13%.
Elon Musk vowed to refocus on Tesla amid backlash over his political role in the Trump Administration’s DOGE program, but analysts doubt his return will fix worsening issues.
Tesla faces eroding market share, failed products like the Cybertruck, and a coming 145% tariff on imported Chinese battery cells set to hammer the company’s battery pack business, one of the only bright spots last quarter.
Musk’s pivot to robotaxis and humanoid robots lacks credibility, and critics say Tesla has no compelling new EVs to revive growth.
What about creating a new model, the Tesla Texas? Same old shit, but running on gasoline
Or corner the Russian market with on that runs on Mazut.
Well, someone sure is propping up his fascist memestock.
I’m not a stock market person. I know fuck all about it.
But I’ve been watching the stock for a while now, and that’s the only conclusion I can come to. Someone has to be buying shit loads of the stock to keep it afloat.
Become a Nazi lose your company. You have been warned.
I’m afraid we need a good ryme, or a 3 word chant in order for it to actually resonate… anyone got a go woke go broke equivelant for nazi’s or white supremacists.
Go nazi go kamikaze?
Go Musk, go bust?
Die nazi
Go Fascist get your ass kicked?
At our march they were chanting
No Nazis! No kings!
These are not American things!Good stuff.
go fash, lose cash
Has he considered resigning?
Weird way to say fuck off to Mars.
That’s not enough. As long as Musk owns even one share of Tesla, he makes money each time a Tesla car sells, and a lot of people including I can’t stomach that.
I might consider purchasing a Tesla vehicle if I knew Musk doesn’t get any of my money. As long as he gets even one cent of my money, I’ll buy some other brand.
The whole board and major investors condoned this. Fuck the whole brand. Now and forever. They don’t need to be redeemed if they do the right thing, we’ll be fine without them. The smart people that actually make things happen will go work for better companies.
He handpicked the board
Exactly. Fuck them.
If he resigns, Tesla becomes just another car company. Car companies get a P/E ratio of 7 (if they’re well run). Tesla’s P/E ratio is above 160. Elon Musk’s “genius” leadership is how Tesla investors have convinced themselves that they’re not investing in a typical car company. If he goes, the stock tanks. But, then again, if he stays, the stock tanks because he’s clearly not a genius, and even if he was he’s an evil genius and people don’t want to buy cars associated with his brand.
From life…

Reinstate Eberhard and Tarpenning.
Maybe if that $56bn bonus goes through he’ll think of something. Heh.
Goodbye, Tesla, and good riddance. Some salutes will never be forgotten.
It’s all fun and games until your billion dollar company gets taken down.
I did nazi that one coming…
c/angryupvote material right here
🙄👏
There are other, indirect ways to hurt Tesla.
For example, when I call a cab, I tell the dispatcher I don’t want to ride in a Tesla taxi. And one dispatcher a few weeks ago told me I wasn’t the only one requesting that.
He’s gonna sell Teslas… ON MARS! Definitely start in 5 years. Space-X will launch them!
Bezos car company is a lot more practical. I just wish it wasn’t bezos.
He also threw a bunch of money into Rivian. He’s basically investing in companies that can make a a delivery truck that is cheaper to run and maintain.
That makes sense.
I’m really interested in Aptera if they can get it to production. It’s probably more of a nitche vehicle, but I could see it fitting the needs of a lot of people.
If the apterra comes to Australia with what I heard it’s price to be ages ago (25k USD) I might just sell my sports car for it.
They’re so close 😭 I’ve been watching every update video they’ve posted, I can’t wait
Also, it’s niche*
I prefer a nitche vehicle. More pragmatic.
Elon was never the guy who made Tesla work. He’s just a rich guy who bought it and then had to be insulated from running it because his ideas suck.
The insulation had to happen with spacex and paypal too btw… This guy is not really good.
IIRC one of the big issues with Twitter was it didn’t have anything set up to insulate the business from Musk’s idiot whims.
Tesla doesn’t need him to refocus, the damage is done. He fucked it all up trying to impress everyone at 4 chan with his nazi salutes, deal with it chainsaw performance, firing thousands of people nonchalant, etc.
As long as he’s tied to the brand in any way it’s cooked.
But he looked cool wearing the cheese head before he fucked up his attempt to corrupt the Wisconsin judiciary, right?
He had to emphasize on the Roman salute twice
What a fucking loser
If he were to divest/step down people would stop hating the company.
The board has condoned both him and his antics, and you’ll never be able to trust a replacement board. The company is irredeemable.
His shareholders must be all over him.
Better CEO choice than Elon Musk.
If your CEO is a Nazi. How many Nazi CEOs do you have?
