This. His arrogance was very unnatural. Almost as if he thinks himself to be God.
All big tech CEOs think themselves so.

Your client base is majority liberals who believe in clean energy and protecting the environment yet you went ahead to support a president who’s the exact opposite of that.

As we’re speaking he’s laid of environmental protection workers in our national parks. And signed an executive order giving for profit companies authority to begin cutting down over 250 million acres of protected forests. If he succeeds there will be nothing left for the children in the future. Pls your company deserves to disappear from the surface of the earth.
The executive order DOES NOT directly call for 280 million acres of national forests and other protected public lands to be clear-cut.

Do you know what 280 million acres represent? 280 MILLION ACRES!

(TOTAL forested area in the US is at 193 million BTW).

The order allows federal agencies to bypass environmental protection laws in order to increase domestic timber and lumber production whilst expanding domestic logging production on FEDERAL LANDS.

This move is very predictable and expected in the current trades war situation with Canada which is America's biggest supplier of timber (who are also cutting millions of trees to generate trade export and have not left anything for their children in the future).

The richest people in the world are content people. He might not have made $100 based on your assumption but if he is content then he is as rich if not richer than Musk.

And the truly richest people or person in the world is who had given most to the people in need. How much you have given rather than how much you have taken or accumulate.

Change your mindset to money. Because Musk is richer than him doesn't mean musk is wiser than him or the wisest person in the world grin

I don't believe they think any different from Elon. Reading stories about how they interact with others and even watching a few interviews of them will let you know that Elon is not at all unique. He's just the only one foolish enough to publicly broadcast it. And they all need to be humbled. For them, it's not enough that they are rich; they also want total world dominace.

It serves him well

The arrogance with which he went about the whole DOGE thing, and his words harshly criticizing basically every government employee. The sledge hammer approach to downsizing. Did he think the people will not look for ways to get at him?

only God knows what will happen to him and his businesses when another administration comes in and start investigating him, Never mix business and politics

He will learn the hard way
See poor Nigerian laughing at the world's richest man.
I bet Tesla would bounce back before you make your first 1 million naira.

All of you pushing this nonsense are misguided and ignorantly stuupid. Majority of the stocks in the stock market have lost significant gains since the start of this year. You keep saying Tesla Tesla because you want to make it look like Elon Musk is losing money because of his role in Trump's administration. That's a big fat lie. What of Apple, Chevron, HP, Starbucks, United Airlines, and other companies whose stocks have been crashing since January? Is it also because of their involvement in US politics?

There is NO bouncing back from this

Unless he steps down
As long as he is the face of Tesla

The reputational damage will linger...
Some board members and key shareholders are already plotting to take em out

Tesla has been the worst hit
This is empirically proven

And there is still more room for decline
As global boycott linger and will soon begin to bite

So in your world, you are not allowed to have any opinions of the actions of people richer than you.

Stop being a slave to money. There are loads of rich fools around.

Because you are broke doesn't mean everyone is.

Based on your logic, only billionaires should be able to talk about Elon.
What a very shallow way of seeing world issues. All you see is money and nothing else.
it is a light hearted joke although you are right. I was about to comment on th mi steps ELon made too but i thought about my annual income relative to his.

Democrats want to punish him by spreading hate against them for shutting down their cash cows like USAID, VOA and big pharma vaccines and for not stifling free speech on Twitter
Please shut up. 😅😅. Upon all his noise, how much has he been able to help government save?

Was it democrats that told him to do the Nazi salute sign during President Trump's inauguration?

He has fired people from places of their work only to have them recalled. He has gone about the whole "downsizing the government" the wrong way. So, you think it's only Americans that are no longer buying Teslas? Musk has insulted Canada as a country. Canadians no longer buys his cars. The Ontario govt has stopped the contract they gave his company (starlink). Europeans no longer buys his cars. But fools like you will think it is a Democrats thing. Are there Democrats in Canada, Europe and Mexico? Let him continue to foolishly follow Trump and talk nonsense. It's his businesses that will suffer. He will understand why people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and other billionaires hardly involve themselves OPENLY with politics

Funny thing is that Trump's tarrifs is also affecting his car sales .🤣

Well, people like you should patronize him to help his business. 😅

False. Your laser focus on Tesla is why you have failed to see the issue from a wider perspective. Tesla shares are up today just like most other stocks as the Trump administration is easing tariffs. You wish so badly that Tesla loses its value but you're going to be disappointed. You and CNN or whatever media is feeding you with these content that only focuses on what suits your narrative.

tell me another S and P 500 stock that has lost over 50% since December ending

I'll wait
Unlike you, I don't believe in sentiment but hard facts and how finance works

If Elon Musk doesn't step down and / or change course of action, Tesla will be further finished by year end

If profitability continues to decline and the boycotts across Europe continue
E don be for tesla

Don't know where you live
But here in Europe
There is an active boycott on Tesla cars

In fact, in my city, if you are in a tesla, you get the "stank" Stare and it's making them uncomfortable

Life is not ludo
Even Musk has given himself brain and is retreating
But he needs to retreat more or the fate of the company is sealed
