Each time I see a new article about drop in sales, the percentage is higher. I love it.

[–] rhombus@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

I keep thinking it’s same article being reposted before noticing the drop is 10-15% greater than the last time I saw it. I hope he’s kicked from Europe entirely.

I think it's the first time in my life I routinely check in on the stock value of a company, and it's pure Schadenfreude.

If you buy a Tesla now, it says something about you as a person...

Elon truly is a genius businessman. Letting him run the government is clearly a great idea.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago

It's been said more than once, that Musk isn't an asset to a company but a liability. Tesla didn't succeed because of Musk but despite him.

Lemmy, this is the 7th day in a row you've shown "Tesla sales down in Europe" news in Top.

[–] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 71 points 1 year ago

Feel free to post other good news. I’ll be happy to upvote.

You can filter it out if you want. Whenever I read it I get warm fuzzies. It helps me cope.

We have this, crap copied from twitter or crap copied from reddit. Take your pick. :)

To be serious for a minute, I do wish there was more discussions and not just circle jerking. Its funny how everyone left the big platforms but still discusses the exact same things.

Good.

Say what you will about faceless corps, but toyota won't send some jackass out a the public face to do sieg hail, and be the gleeful butcher of government programs.

You have to be nestel levels of horrific before it breaks out of the corporate bubble.

I seriously question the mental stability of Tesla shareholders. Why on Earth does that man still have a job?

I'm not even talking about this recent stuff, I'm talking about all the things he's been doing for the last few years. It would get any normal person fired.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He has family members and toadies on the board

[–] TheBrit@lemm.ee 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gone from the coolest car to the most embarrassing, and these people are supposed to be smart.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

As a publicly traded US company, can't the board of directors vote Elon out because of tanking sales? Seems like that's the only way for the company to survive at this point.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In a normal company they could, but the board are all loyal to him, not the company. Recently they insisted in giving him a 50 BILLION bonus, yes, with B. No chance they will intervene. And putting a puppet CEO like at Twitter won't have a strong effect either.

He'll still retain his shares. Which is the source of his wealth.

For my money I'm going to throw a goddamn party if this cursed stock hits double digits.

Let’s get it to 90%. We can do it.

The only creatures that should buy a Tesla are from the fucking AfD.

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol definitely won't, they're super anti-EV after all. I mean, they even want to get rid of all wind power plants. xD

And the US tax payer is going to have to foot the bill on it...Elon sucks goldfish dick

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't think Elon gives a fuck. He's tricked everyone he needs to into giving him billions of dollars. He isn't going to give any of it back. He's laughed all the way to the bank.

[–] lostbit@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

he doesn’t, the american people getting ass fucked in broad daylight

Feel the same way. He basically has the US Treasury now, and can do whatever he wants with his DOGE, I doubt he cares about Tesla.

Beautiful news.

[–] Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

Tesla is a meme stock in the disguise of a car company. It being down 30% means little, if anything volatility is good for big market players. Allows them to fleece more people. In a month Trump will announce a big tesla contract and it'll go back up.

Or so I tell myself because pessimism is easier to live with.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 17 points 1 year ago

Brings a tear of joy.

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 16 points 1 year ago

Music to my ears.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Well I don't want to celebrate in advance, Model Y facelift just released, let's hope this trend continues and doesn't show a reversal.

[–] pls@lemmy.plaureano.nohost.me 9 points 1 year ago

Good. 30% left to go.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

My heart pumps purple piss for fElon.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

They are on track to be worth less than BYD, the two will likely cross over quite soon.
