    Republicans flock to buy racist cars, only find electric. Confusion sets in.

      Can we just fully cancel his ass so we don’t have to hear about him any more. I yearn for the day I no longer hear about Musk or Trump on a daily basis.

      This story highlights why news about this is still important. The investors wouldn’t be doing this if they thought a lot of people wouldn’t hear about it and be disgusted.

      I couldn’t care less about whatever else he does, but when he does something awful, spread it as much as you can. We can see very clearly that not all news is good news for him. And one thing I do want to see is him discovering the consequences of his action, for once in his life.

      And he’ll never go away, ever. As long as he has munny he will be a thorn in everyones side, he cannot simply be voted out like a politician sadly

        Or—and please, sit down before you read any further—the media could…stop reporting every single thing he says. [thunder crashes. children scream.]

      Couldn’t agree more. He’s all over the news all the time, but Lemmy seems especially obsessed with him. I understand, given the demographics here, but I wish he would just go away forever

      The fucking prick really needs to learn to shut the fuck up for a change… And like yesterday.

    “We are absolutely appalled at this behavior!” [Buys more stock in Tesla] “I mean really, this has gone too far!” [Collects dividends] “He needs to resign, this is disgusting!” [Watches stock price climb] “this antisemitism must stop or else!” [Buys more stock]

    Tesla Investors Call for Musk’s Suspension

    They’ll quickly find themselves in the same position as the GOP with Trump. Where they want to replace him and cut their losses but the cult of personality is around that one person and nothing else. That’s what happens when your audience is so cult-like and fanatical. Not that I feel bad for either the GOP or Tesla obviously, it’s still their fault for cultivating these bastards and they don’t deserve the slightest sympathy.

    I’m sure his response will be doubling down and turning away more investors. But if that goofy fucking truck being shit, delayed, and possibly a scam didn’t dissuade them…

    Hurt him in the way that’s most painful to narcissists: remove his ability to generate narcissistic supply. Kill Xcrement.

    these investors can say what they want, but the only language musk speaks is money. Sell the shares, dump the stock price.

      I can’t wait till Tesla falls apart like the house of cards it is.

      Tons of people gave Tesla a $250,000 interest-free loan in the form of pre-ordering the roadster that was supposed to be released two years ago. People are going to remember that and think twice before pre-ordering the next big car release

      They sell vaporware, let’s be real. Cybertruck is going to be a huge disaster calling it now
