Doesn’t hurt that they are also shit cars made out of melted down plastic from burger king kids meal toys and used dental floss and are prone to bursting into flames after “self driving” into walls or freeway medians.

Tesla would be right to dump this clown, but he ain’t leaving without killing Tesla first.

They’re all his friends and family who Musk made very rich. They’re not gonna dump him.

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.

After that vote I will enjoy seeing the shareholders should get exactly what they voted for.

Buddahriffic ,

That’s mostly institutional investors. I suspect it was actually a reward for ruining Twitter.

OhNoMoreLemmy ,

The problem is that Tesla is a meme stock. It’s stupidly overpriced for a car company with such little production.

They could get rid of musk and try to turn it into a normal company with solid fundamentals but this would remove its meme status and crash the share price anyway.

There’s no way to fix Tesla without burning it’s stock price to the ground, so anyone involved is just going to try to ride the crazy train as long as possible.

Come on Elon, make the Cybertruck 2 and really fuck everything up.

cynthorpe ,

It’s hurting it in the USA too. All the lefties I know who own Teslas are pretty much ashamed of them now. None of the maga are suddenly going to start buying electric cars.

ShaggySnacks ,

Maybe they should buy EVs to own the libs.

cynthorpe ,

That would… make me angry. So angry. Noooo…. Don’t!

I’m actually in the market for a new car, and it’s going to be an EV, but Tesla is not on my short list. (not just because of Musk, also because I think those cars are hideous, and I really dislike how a single iPad is used for everything. I need some physical buttons, especially for the airco unit) Instead I’m looking at the Renault Scenic or the Kia EV3.

blady_blah ,

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.

zipzoopaboop ,

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
SkyezOpen ,

Add “real steering wheel” to that cause that futuristic airliner yoke shit would absolutely kill me the first time I try to cross over to turn.

RagingRobot ,

I got a Cadillac lyric instead and I love it

capital ,

Same. Upper middle class and work for a large hyperacaler.

Tesla was the only one excluded from my recent EV search. Loving the Polestar 2 so far.

OpenPassageways ,

Same here, even with all the BS around Twitter and his political views… I WAS still considering a Tesla, but with the pro-Trump PAC and the deep fakes on Xitter it’s just another level of bullshit.

Hoping he gets forced out in the next year because I also don’t want to buy from a dealership, which doesn’t leave me a lot of options for an EV.

Sunroc ,

Same demographic, but sadly I already bought a model Y cause I wanted a 7 seater with a 5 star crash safety rating…

Needless to say the car isn’t good enough to compromise on my morals moving forward and the next car will probably be that VW Buzz. That thing looks so fun.

PhotatoMan ,

Bought one too. I have a model 3 which I really enjoy and would probably have bought another Tesla next if it wasn’t for Elon going mad.

So sadly no more Tesla for me. Buzz is nice, as is the beemer i4.

Same here, some friends of mine really got into car hacking with Teslas in particular and I was looking forward to sharing more hobbies with them. But at this point, I’d be embarrassed as hell to tell anyone I intentionally bought a Tesla, even a used one. And besides, if I really want the “sleek futuristic electric car by the dedicated electric car company”, Rivian exists (unless their CEO is somehow worse than Elon 😬😩)

MammyWhammy ,

If he is worse than Elon, he at least has the decency to hide it.

systemguy_64 ,

Rivian needs a Y/3 competitor. It’s over 100k for a Rivian in Canada. A Y is 54k, a 3 is just under 50k to qualify for federal and provincial incentives.

index ,

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

OlinOfTheHillPeople ,

You know that people can see your comment history, right?

index ,

Yes, do you?

TheFriar ,

lol good

Simulation6 ,

Not a problem, he will just sue everyone that did not buy a Tesla.

doodledup ,

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

blackbelt352 ,

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.
