Summary
Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.
Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.
Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.
Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
I’ll give credit where it’s due. The memes, the ‘swasticar’ stuff - it worked. The negative bias isnt just some lefties, it’s the drivers themselves feeling it. That stigma is not about to go away, so as long as Musk’s name is attached, the only buyers will be ideological ones.
And, I don’t think the chuds are enough to float
Oh well Elon, YOLO
This is one of the things that pissed me off during the election campaign. Calling Trump “weird” worked as well, for all of a couple of weeks, and then the party muzzled Walz and never let anyone say it again.
They had an effective ad campaign that hit their opponents right where it hurt - their fragile ego - and they just…gave up.
That’s a great overall summary of the DNC right there.
that and parading his son around was a mistake. they shouldve ramped up the attack, and instead they just went into the background.
Wow, maybe Elon is the only person capable of getting Republicans out of internal combustible engines and into electric cars. Welcome to Bizzaro World.
Do we have any proof it’s actually working?
Seems like it.
