    Hey Tesla board. This guy is the entire reason I don’t want anything to do with your company.

    I’m target demo for a Tesla. Upper middle class techie. My next car will be an EV and I actually like Teslas. I like a lot of things about them but I will absolutely not buy one while Elon is in charge of the company. Fuck that guy. He’s not getting any of my money.

      Ditto. I have 3 requirements above the current cars though:

      • Better range
      • more physical controls, everything that isn’t media or GPs needs physical buttons
      • Elon must not profit

    It’s hurting in the US too. I am not a hard partisan but I would never buy a Tesla anymore because I’d be worried of being seen as making a political statement. I’m probably in the market for an electric vehicle in the next few years.

      72% of stakeholder vote favored giving him a stupid huge bonus, even stupid by rich billionaire standards. This was after TSLA took a hit and their sales were down and their unit prices were way down.

      Tesla’s all in on Musk. Probably easier to accept as someone who never did like their particular cars and if anything is a bit annoyed that the traditional car companies felt compelled to copy the stupid parts of Tesla when making their EVs. I can see if someone liked Tesla how they could hope to evict Musk… Just not going to happen.

    I’m gonna need another decade or two before I get an EV.

    I’m gonna wait for the $15,000 economy shitbox model. Whoever ends up making it.

      Germany’s satire newspaper Der Postillon already has an article about that. Amazing article, really.

      https://www.der-postillon.com/2024/08/cybertruck-klage.html

      “The fact that billions of people still haven’t bought a Cybertruck and that Tesla’s stock market value is rapidly declining is a conspiracy of left-wing woke elites and a major threat to freedom of speech,” Musk continued, while handing hush money to a newly pregnant employee. “To everyone who doesn’t have a Cybertruck yet: Fuck You!”

    I hate that becoming a certain level of rich can guarantee that you will never not be rich even if you’re the dumbest motherfucker that ever tried to do business.

      Depends on how you count it. Would you consider Steve Jobs to be rich? Seems to me that he managed to find a way to graduate from his status as a rich person with his stupidity.

        I mean he was rich, wasn’t he? Did he die poor somehow? I don’t know enough about him.

          No no, I’m just saying sometimes they are dumb enough to kill themselves (he rejected proper cancer treatment, in favour of pseudo bullshit). That’s one way they sometimes manage to get out being rich 😂

    The only thing news like this does is to boost these idiots visibility and bring views to these websites. Don’t post this shit

    Stop posting US politics everywhere. This isn’t World News. This isn’t even news.

      Unfortunately US Billionaires have a lot of societal impact outside of the US. They don’t care about the arbitrary borders that bound us plebians, they have enough money that the borders functionally don’t exist.

        Don’t care. The real reason they post this here is US politics and not the effect it has on other countries. I’ll bet that OP is from the US.
