Summary
Tesla reported its worst quarterly results in four years, with Q1 income down 71% and EV sales falling 13%.
Elon Musk vowed to refocus on Tesla amid backlash over his political role in the Trump Administration’s DOGE program, but analysts doubt his return will fix worsening issues.
Tesla faces eroding market share, failed products like the Cybertruck, and a coming 145% tariff on imported Chinese battery cells set to hammer the company’s battery pack business, one of the only bright spots last quarter.
Musk’s pivot to robotaxis and humanoid robots lacks credibility, and critics say Tesla has no compelling new EVs to revive growth.
Has he tried stop being a cunt?
things really went to shit when he mimicked hitler. maybe in order to reverse it he needs to mimick hitler again. now what did he do to get out of the mess he created for himself?
Here’s a plan : leave the engineers do their work, stop interfering with innovation, and just shut the fuck up. Not sure it would save tesla, but it would get a fighting chance.
That’s how they became so big in the first place.
I honestly think there’s going to be a mockumentary about him eventually. The alleged stories are straight out of a sitcom. With his PA distracting him from engineers doing important work, giving him fake people to fire when he got in one of his moods, keeping his wild antics away from social media, etc.
Then she asked for a raise and he fired her, afterwards he unraveled.
Let Tesla fail and Musk too. You don’t want to save Tesla as long as the fascist Musk profits from it. Let all his companies fail.
Why would you give Musk any useful advice?
Also don’t promise stuff you just can’t deliver on. Like how a Tesla would be full self driving in 2014 but next year, or that amazing truck that would be the end game for every company moving stuff, or the new roadster from 2017
Did he try to carry a sink into Tesla?
All he had to do was shut his fucking mouth. Tesla sells a competitively-price product and has a strong moat with their charging network. He is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, all because he doesn’t know how to STFU.
Let’s put that briefcase back in his hand so he can be left holding it when Tesla’s stock tanks
He hasn’t shot any migrants from his window in the morning. Maybe shoot migrants from your window? I don’t known, that’s the part I remember most about Schindler’s list.
That could boost sales right?
Step down from Doge, open the files and lay bare this administration.
Offer to buyback every single Cybertruck.
Appoint a board of directors elected by Tesla employees, with representatives from each department to manage the long term goals and policy of Tesla.
Make a low cost, highly configurable electric car. Essentially an electric 90’s Civic.
Or better yet. Pay me 500 million a year and I’ll do all of this for you.
The first disassembly line to recover the materials from the swastidumpter. Ha ha!
No, no. Finally build that new roadster and trucks! :)
Tesla doesn’t need him to refocus, the damage is done. He fucked it all up trying to impress everyone at 4 chan with his nazi salutes, deal with it chainsaw performance, firing thousands of people nonchalant, etc.
As long as he’s tied to the brand in any way it’s cooked.
What a fucking loser
But he looked cool wearing the cheese head before he fucked up his attempt to corrupt the Wisconsin judiciary, right?
He had to emphasize on the Roman salute twice
Bet he regrets stopping people from burning down Tesla stores now cause he was claiming insurance for those.
He’s and the board are going to sell sell sell. It’s done.
There are other, indirect ways to hurt Tesla.
For example, when I call a cab, I tell the dispatcher I don’t want to ride in a Tesla taxi. And one dispatcher a few weeks ago told me I wasn’t the only one requesting that.
Maybe you could just make like a tree and leave?
I’m sure Tesla gets an exemption from those battery cell tariffs.
How much that affects product price and influences consumers and the stock price is another question.
Better CEO choice than Elon Musk.
