    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

      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 😂

    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.

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