More like: “If the shit of America goes down (the toilet), Tesla will go with it.”

“Which is why I have decided to reduce the amount of time I dedicate to sinking it.”

I think we have bigger problems than Tesla if the U.S. goes to shit.

Musk, Trump and the rest of the Republican leaders have been trying their very best to sink the ship of America.

And make it everyone else’s fault somehow.

Essentially want to be the only option - buy a Tesla and fill both the trunk and frunk with gasoline or get wrecked.

Nevermind they’re pumping and dumping the entire stock market now, turning all the safeguards off, and extracting wealth at a rate that makes Congress look like child’s play.

In China his competitors are now too far ahead and in Europe they don’t want no swasticar anymore. That leaves only the US market.

victims of society

Yeah, they have no idea what this means but they seem to REALLY want to find out.

ryrybang@lemmy.world on 24 Apr 21:33 next collapse

The fuck it will.

Elon might go down with it (probably not), but one shitty, Nazi-led, small time automaker going from circling the drains to out of business won’t hurt the US.

The US will be better off once all remaining Teslas are in history museums. Preferably in the section where kids on field trips can learn about Great Mistakes in American History.

Zorque@lemmy.world on 24 Apr 22:39 next collapse

Isn’t the implication that he’s saying Tesla will fail if America fails, not that America will fail if Tesla fails? He’s basically saying he has tied his fortunes to America’s future, not necessarily the other way around.

Unfortunately, there are millions of dumb people who are still kissing his ass.

Can someone that’s clueless about stocks tell me who Tesla is surging again 2 days ago it was at 225 now it’s almost at 260 it’s been green constantly. making me angry.

They still turned a profit thanks to tax credits despite all the down sales numbers and it’s a meme stock

The stock is only tangentially related to the actual business.

Irrational markets are irrational.

There is a reason people lose all there money on the stock exchange and there is reasons idiots make loads of money.

Any expert on this stuff are probably avoiding and have been avoiding Tesla for about 10 years. But cryto Bros have been investing for 10 years and been making loads of money.

Remember people. You don’t own the money until you cash out. $100,000 in Tesla isn’t the same as $100,000 in the bank.

Mac@mander.xyz on 25 Apr 00:52 next collapse

Seeing a billionaire complain about shit like this is so fucking funny.
Bro could have fucked off with his money and done literally whatever he wanted for the rest of his life and instead gets bullied by normies and cries about it online.

There is nothing i could do to be as pathetic and as much of a fucking loser as this guy. hahahahahaha

Introducing the all new 2025 all electric Tesla boring machine. Yes! Its boring! Remember the old oil fields with their tiny 2" holes? How about you drive your car down there and bring up a load of oil? That’s right! 20’ wide oil tunnel technology is here!

Then whyyyyy did he work so damn hard to sink us? Fucking idiot. No matter what happens, even if I hear about it in a Salvadoran labor prison, if he kills himself, it’ll be a good day.

No matter what happens to the rest of us, Musk’s future is on a mega yacht cruising around molesting any mammal that moves, and he knows it. He’s the world richest man, he’ll be fine.

Elon musk is the modern Icarus - he wears the wings someone else invented, does not know how to wield them properly, flies too close to the sun and dies crashing. Except, it’s not only wings, it’s a fucking airplane and we are all along for the ride.
