The story of Elon will be a phenomenal one. Icarus af. He could have ended world hunger and much more, but decided to become a nazi cunt and ruin everything. Money can't buy intelligence.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yet tesla stock goes up. LOL.
How the fuck is the stock rising?
Oh. Wall Street is a joke. I forgot.
Tesla stock is up because the board has quietly indicated that they are searching for someone to replace Musk
Will removing him as CEO really matter? As long as he's as heavily invested in the company as he is, its gains are his gains.
I dubt they can save the company anymore.
Maybe if they pull a Boeing and ~~assassinate~~ the guy bringing their stock down commits suicide...
It matters in the court of public opinion. Most consumers don't understand anything about corporate politics. CEOs are often just fall guys for evil companies.
“Quietly indicated.” They intentionally leaked that story to bring up the stock price.
Possible! Companies do things like that all the time
At this point, my grudge is with the entire board and any investors who didn’t sell their shares when they were over $400 and the CEO was tweeting hate speech and throwing Nazi salutes. Elon can walk away or stay, I don’t care. If you hold Tesla stock, you are either a Nazi or ok with Nazis. I will never pass a Tesla without spitting on it.
Yeah I would never ever buy one, especially when there are better options anyway like Polestar and Rivian

I went so far as to trade my S&P500-flavored index funds for large cap value-flavored ones so I could avoid holding TSLA even by association. It's so stupid how that moist waste of carbon-based material turned something as silly as an electric car brand into a political totem of autocracy.
It's still the most overvalued stock on the US ticker and it's not even close.
Even in the most charitable reading of the future, Tesla chooses a responsible leader, successfully course-corrects, and becomes "just a car company." The techbro futurist hype goes away, and the value tanks back to reality.
Agreed
it seems the stock is based on elon musk, and no others, releasing a mass market ready generalized artificial intelligence in the next 6 months.
6 months in musk time is like 25 years from now
Quietly? I literally read about it yesterday right here. Do you mean like they're calling newspapers, but whispering?
It wasn't a statement to the press. It was leaked. That means that the whole board likely was not ready to announce it or that they're trying to keep it on the down low, where mostly just investors will see it and act accordingly.
Why does everything have to be an argument?

the entire stock market is a made up imaginary scam that all of our companies have forced us to care about by eliminating pension funds as a retirement avenue. i mean. the entire monetary system, but the stock market especially
Yet tesla stock goes up. LOL.
How the fuck is the stock rising?
It's down quite a bit this year:
It’s down quite a bit this year:
Yes and that seems to be mostly from the inauguration, Nazi salute and DOGE, january through March.
But if you look from when the tariffs were announced in the start of April, and most of American stock is down in that period. Then Tesla has done pretty well in April compared to most, despite being a company that will be hit hard by the tariffs.
Gamblers. Shorting the stock is still a show of support. If you don't like Musk, stop betting for or against the stock. Don't be greedy.
what? shorting the stock is literally the same as selling shares
when you short, you sell someone else’s shares that you don’t own with a promise to buy them back at whatever it costs when you exit your position
(if the price goes up you’re forced to buy for higher and you lose money; if the price goes down you buy for a lower price and you make money)

Not enough.
OMG. A Welcome Back, Kotter reference! Nice.
"You love to see it" is an expression of satisfaction, amusement, or even mild glee when something good or desirable happens, particularly when it involves someone getting what they deserve or a situation turning out favorably. It often implies a sense of vindication or a feeling of relief that a situation has reached a positive resolution.
Ha
Fucking about with the workers union also adds to the lack of trust and desire for the brand.
Yeah, I think the union thing and the latest nazi salute form exactly the kind of combination Sweden won’t forgive easily. Tesla’s reputation is completely gone.
Did I miss something? He's been throwing nazi salutes out this week also?
Just the same two he started with, but we don't forget in Sweden.
Most people in Sweden appears to have forgotten what party Jimmie Åkesson joined, so I don't know about that.

Way to go! 💪🏼
Best fucking country, so proud.
As a Scandinavian I too am proud of my brother Sweden. 👍😀
But you have to take it back about being "best", when you obviously are only 2nd best! 🇩🇰

Ok, thanks, we all needed a laugh :)
But seriously, don't ever change a thing about yourself, you're too valuable as Russia's speedbump.
Fuck, didn't think you guys were around...

Tesla has and is doing exactly what Musk said the goal was for Tesla, long ago. To spur EV sales for other competitors, since Tesla could never meet a full market demand. Congrats Elon, you not only did that, you've backed away to give everyone a bigger share of the market. You genius.
Oh, what? You didn't mean to do this? Are those tears? Be a big boy and suck it up.
Good.
I take comfort in knowing that their sales were already bad before all of this
i was looking at BYD EVs this week, they seem alright? even tho they are mega tariffed

Even if the company cans him its not likely to ever recover from all this
Still too many sales.
Take it to zero!
I hunger to see Tesla turn into a penny stock.
