KEY POINTS

Elon Musk said he would form a new political party called the “America Party.”

Tesla shares fell Monday after Musk’s announcement.

Tesla shareholders have wanted Musk to stay away from politics, especially after his stint at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which many have said damaged the automaker’s brand.

If I were in the market for an EV, I have better options than a Tesla including some that are the equivalent of sub 10,000 USD. I just don’t know how well EVs can handle +50C temperatures.

I think Mattel makes better electric vehicles than Tesla.

Can we skip to the good part where is 100% bankrupt and no other billionaire bails him out and he ends up being arrested by a rookie cop doing his first drug arrest as Elon nearly ODs on illegal street ketamine and literally no one in the legal system cares when he is given a life sentence?

I'd settle for "dies a 90 hour non-instrument rated private pilot flying the Beech Debonair he just bought VFR into IMC by slamming into a hillside trying to fly under a 300 foot ceiling."

But he wouldn't pass a 3rd class medical certificate, would he?

I have a message. Elon Musk’s plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors.

Funny how the "America Party" wasn't created by an American.

Hitler wasn't German, Stalin wasn't Russian.

i truly do not understand how shareholders think, why the fuck would you keep tesla stocks at this point? sell them and invest in that chinese electric moped company for fuck's sake, infinitely more reliable

It's very simple: his votes, plus his family votes and the fact that shares held in index and funds vote always like the boards direct and they have the vast majority and every "voting" is just a farce.

Still massively overvalued.
