A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

ties to trump is the problem ? not the fucking nazi salute at a political function? twice? I mean fuck both options and musk but man he needs a punch to face. I forgot my point.
man he needs a punch to face.
I thought you made a pretty good point. A punch each for him and his army of little DOGEshits.
Backpfeifengesicht.
A punch in his face for each person in his army, yes.
We're gonna need a bigger fist.
You know, Trump is horrendous but somehow, I think having ties to Musk may be worse than having ties to Trump at this point.
He's not facing 'criticism over Trump ties'. He's facing outrage over being a fucking Nazi.
Thank you. I utterly despise the cowardice of the media to call out fascists for what they are. Definitely one of the big reasons we got to where we are now.
Who in the fuck is still buying this shit I can’t imagine the crossover between afd voters and electric car buyers is particularly big to be honest
In the US, sooooo many people are still buying them.
The same people still using Twitter I guess. And can't be added to switch because otherwise how are they going to follow some celebs or some shit; no worries that they're supporting Hitler.
They are terrible cars with wild quality control issues. And they are expensive.
The fun part will be how they will charge them after trump bans ev chargers
I wondered if Tesla was to disappear it would be because of Chinese EV competition. I never thought it would be because Musk would reveal himself as a right wing fascist knobhead.
China is Sun Tzuing so hard right now. “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”
I'm scared that the world is going to run out of popcorn because the Chinese are going to eat all of it.
It was Napoleon who said something similar to that quote, but the point stands.
I bet a bunch of CEOs are fascists, but they know that letting it come out is bad for business.
I think most CEOs understand that your brand should not be tied to you personally.
This seemed to really come out with small businesses during the pandemic. Where small business owners like for restaurants and shops would openly advertise (to put it mildly) their stance on masking which in turn tied into their political beliefs.
I always thought that was dumb, (in a two party system) as you were effectively alienating half of your potential customers.
Their stock is also plummeting pretty hard right now 👏
The board: that sounds to us like time to give Elon another bonus
Seems likely.
Waiting for Tesla to oust him as CEO for conduct contrary to the financial health of the company (read: shareholders).
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
The shareholders are all huge Elon sycophants. If they haven’t ousted him over any of the previous shit he did, I have zero faith they’ll do it now.
If anyone has Tesla stock, dump it now before you lose everything.
Considering almost the entirety of the stocks value is tied up in musk and has almost no correlation with the actual success of Tesla and they’ve literally gone out of their way to force a 56 billion pay package through for Musk, I highly doubt it.
Edit: for reference, the company is worth the next 15 car makers prices combined and probably has less sales than all of them
I believe we will get down to about 25% of what they were selling this year.
Shocking news... that 55% of European Tesla buyers don't know or don't care about Elon's egregious public Nazi displays.
Meanwhile the shareholders: "yes, this guy totally deserves $56b!!"
Ewww— a Tesla. Gross.
Are you sure it wasn't the nazi salute?
My body is ready for him to get pushed the fuck out of the company
I'm ready for him to get ejected back into space
We can dream of a timeline where SpaceX and Tesla decide to put Elon himself into the next Roadster they fire into space.
Back?
Yea, he seems like an otherworldly being
If you're a federal employee with TSP:
The C fund includes Tesla, it's very unlikely to convince the fund manager (Black Rock) to drop Tesla, but you can still move to a different fund.
There's no doubt a sales drop due to Musk, but all their factories aren't producing and selling their best model (Y) due to the upgrade, and people have also put off buying a Tesla knowing it was about to happen at the start of 2025.
We won't know the true drop until that vehicle is ramped up at all the factories, which means we won't have proper QoQ numbers until q3 or q4, but I imagine at the month level we might see comparable numbers somewhere in q3.
