Good.
As soon as my lease is up I'm out of this fucking swasticar.
Fuck Elon, fuck the Tesla board for enabling him, I hope they all get cancer.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well I'd say cancer's a bit much, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Plus, they have money, and cancer can be mitigated with all the money.
Now, a persistently massive bed bug infestation, severe erectile dysfunction, head lice, singed up for a Jehovah's Witness mailing list, voodoo curses, there are much better ways to have them suffer.
Money didn't help Steve Jobs.
He didn't even try (in the beginning). Money and early treatment would absolutely have saved his life.
the Apple mastermind eventually came to regret the decision he had made years earlier to reject potentially life-saving surgery in favor of alternative treatments like acupuncture, dietary supplements and juices
Yes but it didn't because he thought he could drink kale juice or something instead of spending on it. So you just need cancer and a belief in quack medicine.
It would have if he had gotten real treatment instead of just eating fruit. He literally had the only type of pancreatic cancer that we could treat at the time.
To be fair he was also a dumbass in that regard and repeatedly refused to get actually treated in favor of holistic bullshit.
Iirc he'd have lived quite a lot longer if he had.
Yep, seems like you can't buy away stupid
Probably just a Swamp German it's a theme with them, e.g. using "contract the bubonic plague" to mean "fuck you".
Speaking of different cultures, there's an insult here in Appalachia, maybe the South too, it's "Yer ate up"
I always thought it meant like you're so full of disease (cancer) that it's destroyed your internals. I haven't heard someone say it in a long time, it was more of a boomer thing.
I just looked it up and I guess it's from the military? Who knows. Anyway, it can be a pretty bad insult.
When are the investors and employees going to wake up and kick Elon out of Tesla?
Watch this be a 400 IQ move for Musk to cut away the one thing that his Red peers don't like: icky clean energy things
Yeah the cyber truck would sell a lot better if it was a diesel.
The headlights aren’t blinding enough either.
When the drag on the share price is greater than the cult of personality pull.
Money has no issues with fascism.
as CEO Elon Musk's political activities may be damaging the brand
May be damaging the brand?
I suppose this is one of the rare occasions where we can say without further investigation or study, that it certainly is a result of Nazi President Musk's political activities.
Or helping the brand in some cases
Musk is going to sue everybody that hates Nazis probably.
I don't think he can pull that shit in Germany.
No it's because of:
'Conspiring against a business' just like he sued advertisers not advertising on x anymore after he insulted them.
Nobody wants to be seen in a Nazi-Mobil, not even in Germany, I guess?
Especially most germans
Even if they're on Musk's side, Germans can recognize a shit build car when they see one.
To put this into perspective, there were 207640 new cars registered in January, of which 1277 were Teslas. That's a measly 0.62 percent of total new car registrations.
True, but it could be 0%. Or better yet, -100% (count torched cars on there)
And Germany provides just the word for me in this case: Schadenfreude
Sales plummet.
Musk: "helicopter hats in 2025"
Share price goes up.
helicopter hats in 2025
Hopefully it takes his ass to Mars
fuck the musk rat
Great. Now plunge further.
Gosh I wonder why 🙄
Fuck yeah

As much as I hate elongated muskrat, this is Not a very good article, doesn't really explore the reasons behind the fall and instead pushes a narrative.
AFAIK there is an overall decrease in EV sales, Tesla is also announcing the new Model Y soon which is probably having a hold off effect for new buyers, either looking for the newer model or a good deal on the older model.
And the viable alternatives from the competitors will also eat into their sales more than anything, Renault R5, new Fiat Panda, new Citroen EC3 that starts from like 20k.
Those who wanted a tesla likely already have one, the rest are taking the alternatives, that are either smaller or better built.
Tesla is going from the EV to get to a niche pick for people who like tech and fast acceleration over comfort, affordability.
Tesla lost substantial ground in an EV market that was up 54% for the month
There's a big increase in EV sales and Tesla are selling 59% fewer cars than they did last year. That's a massive slump in their fraction of the market.
Ahh you are right, I did miss that, I would expect the sales of teslas slump regardless though, because the one screen setup is retarded and now there are viable alternatives.
