I see Elon’s change as nothing but trying to fix his stocks that got decimated. Seems like it’s orchestrated probably with trumps approval.
As a European i just see a bunch of clowns throwing a tantrum and ruining a country.
Sad for the people that have common sense and didn't vote for a clown/grifter. USA has real issues and I dont see then fixing it any time soon (coming 20 years).
The idea of Trump getting ousted next term and all of the Republican party just....existing as normal makes me sick. They should be disbanded as a party and everyone who is in office now should be barred from politics. They are complicit in the deconstruction of the US.
They should be marched into the sea.
This was my immediate thought. These guys aren't the brightest, but rich guys hire smart strategists.
This could still absolutely be orchestrated to rehab Musk's image, but there's no way it will "fix his stocks". For the most part, the only people who would be caught dead buying Teslas recently were MAGA freaks. And now he's alienated them with his feud with Dear Leader. After the share price was already falling and Teslas sales were down over 70%, at least in the US. I think it will truly nosedive now...
I don’t see how he comes back from this. Originally I thought he could do it if Trump subsidized the shit out of his companies. (Like an executive order that requires all police cars be Tesla or some similar lol bullshit.) But now with him and Trump all piss baby tweet fighting, I don’t see it. Will be an interesting shitshow to watch.
I just wonder how does the tweet fight works? one talking on truth social and the other on exTwitter?
I didn't really follow this to know
I’m not sure, the general public are very fickle and have short memories.
I do wonder how this could possibly save his stocks. Anyone who was dumping stocks of companies where he was involved isn't going to buy them back simply because he's cutting ties with Trump.
If anything this will make his stocks dive even further because now he won't even be able to get government contracts via corruption.
It goes further than that. It’s because dogs really fucked up lots of things and he wants out before people catch wind.
