how the fuck does a guy gain control of the regulatory agencies overseeing the industries he works in, and then proceed to fucking lose money? this is up there with 'bankrupting a casino' levels of stupid

Hmmmm, would a high suicide rate of billionaires be beneficial to society…

Nah, I prefer the Luigi method.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

If you want something done right.

[–] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 4 points 42 minutes ago

Fuck Elon, I hope a drowneds in a 10ft pit submerged in his own cum.

[–] BreadAndThread@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

Yeah, I check the stock daily. They're doing fine because every cunt in the world keeps buying.

I'm doing my part by being as rude and mean to any tesla driver I can. They need to know nazis of all types are hated.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 15 minutes ago

Maybe he can call up Adrian Dittmann to cheer him up.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 2 points 20 minutes ago

Oh no, how awful! Quick everyone, let's all go out and buy a Tesla to make him feel better.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 21 minutes ago

I'd buy a Tesla honestly but I can't afford one. I can't afford a gas shitbox either. When my car gets too expensive to repair I'm going to be so fucked.

It's depressing how much headlines can deceive. This is /r/politics all over again, with the most "technically true" statements that get people excited but the results you expect from reading the headlines will never come

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 4 points 22 minutes ago

hey. stocks do NOT reflect profit. a stock is not what makes money it's just a share % of the company/investment. just because stocks go up does not mean a company is making profit. there is a HUGE difference! please understand that, thank you.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 1 points 4 minutes ago

Profits have nothing to do with Tesla’s stock price, unfortunately.

[–] Th0rgue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Tesla stocks skyrocketed when Musk looked like he was unoficially elected as the new president. Now that he's got all the files he needs via Doge and he's backing out, they went back to normal growth.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 20 points 1 hour ago

Tesla's stock price going up or down is a completely different matter than company earnings. The report is on their actual company profits, which are down 71% -- meaning they aren't selling as many cars. That's a big deal. Let's keep making sure that owning a Tesla becomes completely socially unacceptable.

Tesla reported lower than expected earnings on Tuesday, with first-quarter profits dropping 71% on much lower sales of electric vehicles.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The issue is less that they've returned to normal growth and more that they have lost countless future sales. This is only the beginning of Tesla's woes.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

Sure... Maybe... People have short memories. Over a million people died and tons of people voted to reelect Trump.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 37 points 3 hours ago

I laugh at sad Nazis.

Gee, I wonder if he will get so depressed he tops himself?

[–] GoodOleAmerika@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago

End of Tesla. Let's do it.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 36 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Let's bring the bourgeoisie down before it's too late. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Accountability for the traitors to humanity.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Mush is an easy target. We're have a harder time getting a handle on Bozos. We need some spine in the government that can tax some fuckers.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Bezos has a really tall hedge around his house. Tough to get in there.

[–] dgbhxi@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Unbelievable that TESLA's shares skyrocketed after this catastrophic earnings.

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 1 points 25 minutes ago

It's their loss. These people are deluding themselves into thinking that the Tesla brand will bounce back once Elon steps away from DOGE. They're going to lose a ton when it either tanks again after Trump raises tariffs again just for fun, or when the company goes bankrupt because nobody is buying their cars.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

What's also unreal is the stocks going up whenever Musk makes a promise. He just now said he foresees total self driving by year end. Even a casual observer like me has seen him fail to deliver, again and again and again.

Guess investors know this and also know the stock will bump whenever he lies. No one thinks they'll be the one left holding the bag.

[–] Uppp@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago

it is called market manipulation; any other company stock would have plummeted after such report; it is a meme stock

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 hour ago

Human society just has to round this one up by ishowspeed randomly slamming open some entrance near Musk, taking aim and lining up a smack - which is accelerated by speed leaning into it with a double flip - that explodes on to Elons face, effectively implanting Elons skull into the center of a small crater.

The monument of his remains will be maintained to inform future generations of what had transpired that day.

[–] YourBrainOnScience@lemmy.world 70 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, he did make a prediction before the election that the DOGE cuts will cause some financial pain.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully he shorted Tesla.

But consequences aren’t supposed to affect him. That’s why his identity is wealth.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 3 hours ago

HAHAHAHAHAH!

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 26 points 6 hours ago

Too. Fucking. Bad.

[–] rustyricotta@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 hours ago

That's what you get for earning value with memes instead of with true quality. It won't last.
