    Dude's been obviously losing it over the last couple of weeks.

    I find it amazing that we have turned over the country to two incredibly flawed individuals with such obvious daddy issues. My man has all the money in the world and still can't handle it when people say mean things about him. Well, as they say, if you can't do the time, don't do the politics. Or something.

    I'm guessing Elon never understood all the anger and violence towards FW de Klerk either.

    Musk doesn't seem shook up there to me. He seems more like someone playing the doe-eyed innocent victim for TV.

    Elon Musk is a very intelligent person - he is a very accomplished man.

    When it comes to founding or running businesses - he is arguably the best.

    However - he is also socially r****ded, and his personal life is dreadful.

    Like Henry Ford - he really has limited utility in the political sphere.

    Unlike Henry Ford - Musk has been given free reign over the government.

    Let's see how this science experiment ends - letting Rain Man run the casino.

    Elon puts on too many faces, and the ones he hid before should've stayed hidden for the "good faces" to do the work he was admired for.

    Guy who slashed and burned jobs as waste and corruption...Trust the Numbers...without a thought of merit, loyalty or value only began to cry about Empathy (which kid was he holding this time??) when he ended up on the Finding Out curve.

    This whole endeavor into politics probably feels like a train simulator for him, and he's two turns away from telling his paid gamer crony to hit the reset button.

    Leon is not stepping down. His pay package is too lucrative and there are not likely enough votes on the Tesla board to oust him ... yet.

    Tesla stock will suffer ... not unless MAGAs start buying $80K EVs to go with their Trump trading cards, their DJT stock and thier Trump meme coins.

    The ha-ha funny thing is that Trump will jettison Leon at some point, well after the Tesla brand is forever ruined.


    Fed-up Tesla investor asks Musk to choose: step down as CEO or dump Trump

    Elmo can make more $$ from the government then he can anywhere else, he is in this until trump tires of him and it looks like they get along well, they both lie about everything, they have F`d u personal lives, there both bullies and they both have fascist tendencies......2 peas in a pod

    Uh oh.

    https://www.theverge.com/tesla/632894/have-you-seen-teslas-missing-1-4-billion


    Have you seen Tesla’s missing $1.4 billion?
    The Financial Times compared the electric automaker’s capital expenditure in the last six months of 2024 to its valuation of the assets that money was spent on, and discovered that $1.4 billion has “gone astray.”

    Looking at last year, in the third and fourth quarter combined, Tesla spent $6.3bn on “purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales” according to its cashflow statements. Over on the balance sheet, however, the gross value of property, plant and equipment rose by only $4.9bn in that period, to $51bn.

    $6.9 billion minus $4.9 billion equals $1.4 billion, or the sum the paper says appears unaccounted for. It’s a bit complicated, but unless Tesla reports the missing money in its next earnings report, it could indicate that something fishy is going on — beyond a stock collapse amid a global protest movement.

    $1.4bn is a lot to fall through the cracks, even for Tesla

    ...to **** up the competition and for the government to give Tesla stimmies with Trump's name on it.

    This is pretty much the Democrats mindset. They believe they can fix any problem because they are somehow superior, or as the comic indicates, 'superheros' and then turn a blind eye to justice.

    You could fire every Tesla worker worldwide tomorrow and vaporize every existing Tesla - and it wouldn't come close to the amount of people (from both gov & multiplier effects) that are going to lose jobs & suffer economic losses due to Musk/Trump/DOGE - we are talking exponentially more.

    The amount of economic value destroyed by DOGE is going to be in the 10's or 100's of trillions over the next few decades. Maybe even quadrillions, numbers we don't ever actually even use.

    Of course those numbers aren't used. Everything you say is made up

    Here are some numbers Sam didn't make up:

    https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-doge-rubio-usaid-musk-death-toll-malaria-polio-tuberculosis

    But $.72 will be saved from your tax bill... before we eliminate your social security and medicare and add $1.36 to it to pay for tax cuts for the .01%.
