      He’s applying what he’s learned from his business practices after the twitter takeover. The man is a non stop learning machine, I bet this isnt even his final.form

      That’s okay… Tesla is no longer a car company. Remember? It’s now a “tech company”. 😉

      VW threw Rivian a lifeline, but Elon Musk jumped into the water and pushes them out. He´s a saint…

      Not gonna say, “I told you so”, but I wrote about this before… 😉

      Not where I live it isnt. You cant drive a city block with out almost getting hit by at least 4 of the jack asses that drive these ridiculous toys. Hopefully its a lagging indicator because none of these TESLA owners seem to know how to operate them and the less of them on the road the better.

      When you sell less than 14,000 cars any improvement shows a higher rate for Rivian compared to Tesla’s 387,000. Not to mention them losing $40,000 per vehicle.

    6. It’s kinda interesting for him to be so anti conservative when it’s mostly the conservatives that are willing to pay a premium for electric. Heck, a significant chunk of the more conservative wing is actively invested in oil or representing oil states.

      This absolute fucking regard of an EV car company CEO is also backing the candidate that wants to give gas cars subsidies.

      Do you think republicans will start buying Tesla’s? It’s probably an untapped market, and he just won over all of them.

      Tesla, once the darling of California car buyers, was hit hard. It’s still by far the EV sales leader, but Tesla’s California sales plunged 24.1% in the second quarter. Nationally, according to Kelley Blue Book, Tesla sales dropped 6.3% for the second quarter, even as total EV sales climbed 7.3%.

    10. lol, 10% of all Teslas sold in the world, were sold in CA last year.

      Dude is pulling another Twitter.

      Are y’all forgetting the man was openly sharing battery tech with competitors? I don’t think he’s too worried about this.

      Who cares? Nobody investing in Tesla is investing because of the revenue they make. Elon musk and any company he has owns the future.

      I think musk is actually done with Tesla it’s why he fought to get that money.

      The brand is tarnished and the cybercuck is a meme vehicle because the peice of shit literally falls apart driving it as well as dies when it sits.

      Musk is bankrolling trump because he’s going to get bailouts more more contract’s.

      Tesla is everywhere now. It is no longer the status symbol it used to be. My neighbors are getting Lucid. The wealthy like to show off anyway.

    15. Elon knows Tesla is dying a slow death. He is getting every penny he can out of it and focusing on space x and starlink.

    16. Fuck Musk he was going to destroy Tesla unless he got his 20% bonus because he wasted all that money on Twitter and killed it. Plus, he supports Trump, who has 0 respect for him or anyone else for that matter. Both these fucks should be broke but keep getting billions more or less donated to them.

    17. Rivians are the car that everyone in my area is driving now. It used to be one, now I see them everywhere.

      The problem is he’s not making enough money to keep the company going /s
