but can they go lower?
Good, now do the world a favor and go die in a hole.
good I hope that fucker kills himself
Hope it’s terminal.
has anyone seen my violin? it's very tiny
Good.
This nazi fuck should never feel any peace again.
Sorry dude. Empathy is a weakness and all.
I celebrate the news.
The company produced 362,000 vehicles and delivered over 336,000.
That's a surprisingly high number. Too many fascists these days.
Oh no!
Anyway.
I don't think they make violins small enough to signify my empathy for him.
We haven't heard much from him over the past few weeks, and now we get this earnings call, and it is far worse than expected. He's known this was coming, and has been laying low, probably hoping things will improve some before making what he knows will be a disastrous earnings call. Its the equivalent of watching your diet 3 days before a doctor's appointment, hoping your weight gain and cholesterol increase won't be as bad as you know it is.
Also, it's a safe bet that his board of directors is livid, and that he has been ordered by his board to get back to work, or be removed as CEO of Tesla.
There is almost certainly a shareholder class-action suit brewing over his reckless and irresponsible behavior over the last several months, which has directly caused severe, and probably irreparable damage to the company's brand image AND it's sales around the world, as well as tanking the stock price, an unforgiveable sin in the investing world. Now that the bubble has popped, it will never inflate again. As future earnings reports are released, and sales continue to slide, the stock will continue to decline, and the cycle will continue until bankruptcy. And it is all traceable to Skum's self-indulgent, egotistical behavior.
The only question is will Skum be the only defendant, or will the lawsuit also name the individual members of the board, for not reigning him in, or firing him. They don't want to be sued alongside him, so they are forcing him to get back to work saving Tesla, thus letting them off the hook for legal liability.
Its doubtful Skum will be able to save Tesla at this point, its almost certainly too late. It is also probably too late to avoid a shareholder lawsuit. Investors have lost millions of dollars, not due to the vagaries of the market, but due to Skum's outrageous behavior, like throwing up celebratory Nazi salutes on national TV, which, as CEO, he should have realized would damage his company and its investors significantly.
And arguing that he didn't recognize the danger in advance is no excuse at all for a CEO, who should have been able to predict the response to his self-indulgent ego bender.
Shareholders have lost many millions, and they won't just let that go with an "Oh well." He's likely going to get sued, and the board is just making sure they don't go down with him.
Musk insisted on the earnings call that protest against him are “very organized” and “paid for,” repeating suggestions he’s made previously about shadowy financiers who are supposedly funding demonstrations. Musk also said the “real reason” there are protests against him is that people who are receiving fraudulent money from government agencies that are now getting cut. Musk has never provided any evidence for this assertion.
What a delusional dipshit. He has lost touch with reality. His ego is so fragile he has to make up fairy tales. Poor wittuh snowfwake
Until recently, it was a huge crime to make an unprovable statement in any way, shape, or form in an earnings call. Even rich people were scared to break that rule. I miss when we had laws.
Last I checked he was the richest person on the planet. Couldn't he just pay the protestors more than what they are paid now to make them stop protesting?
Funny that a guy who buys elections would suddenly be upset at the thought of other people being paid to make political statements.
He's wrong as shit, of course. People genuinely hate that useless sack of shit.
But it is funny.
It’s projection. He’s doing political shit for money, so he assumes everyone else is too.
Gonna end up like Howard Hughes.
Gee I hope not. I want to see the corpse.
I would be happy if the corpse burned up in the wreckage of one of his muskrockets hitting Mar-a-Lago.
But he did it all himself? This is what he wanted? Either the headline is lying or he’s dumb as fuck.
Pay a settlement of $10 million to each and every federal employee fired by DOGE. Then we can start to talk about your well-being, Elon.
Okay but how about compensation for all those people he’s fucked over by dismantling federal programs? I want this guy to be standing by a freeway on-ramp wearing a barrel and begging in vain for spare change, before dejectedly walking up said on-ramp to lie down in front of an oncoming cement truck.
"America isn't as racist and misogynist as I was led to believe!"
No, Mr. Musk, it isn't.
It's exactly as racist and misogynist as Trump believes it to be, however, sadly.
Edir: To amend this... I don't believe Trump is the same sort of bigot that Musk is. Musk is a white supremacist, Trump is an oldschool, American, Republican-as-jellybeans conservative. Trump isn't a nazi, he's "grumpy old man yells at cloud", he's more Grand Torino than American History X.
I hate both, but a burning amount of joy comes from knowing they probably hate eachother more
Good stuff
isnt thats what LSD and PSYCLIBIN suppose to help with? maybe he should stop taking ketamine so much.
Hey what are you trying to do here, on whose side are you on?
I'd suggest he starts on crushed up oxycontin, while smoking crack, injecting heroine and snorting meth. And wish an OD will happen soon.
It’ll be fine by this time next year!
