Elon Musk

So Elon is going full on Nazi. I hope Tesla realizes that outside the Right of the U.S., Elon is destroying their brand.

That's the part I absolutely don't get. Why are they not kicking him to the curb? There is no way this ends well for Tesla.

Indeed, it's already going down.

Tesla stock falls as Trump ends EV mandate, looks to eliminate subsidies

Trump on his first day in office wasted no time shedding the skin of the outgoing administration, revoking 78 executive orders made by former Democratic President Joe Biden during his tenure. One of those Biden-era policies that was revoked mandated that half of the new US cars manufactured be electric by 2030.

Trump also directed his administration to consider the elimination of what he called “unfair subsidies” and “other ill-conceived government-imposed market distortions that favor EVs.” The Biden administration had issued grants and extended tax credits with funding from the Inflation Reduction Act — much of which went to red states — aimed at bolstering the electric vehicle industry and promoting clean energy to combat climate change. The first EV tax credit was passed under former President George W. Bush.

"[EVs] are a rapidly growing market and relatively new technology, but [loss of the EV tax credit] is not trivial. I mean, $7,500 is not trivial,” Joseph Shapiro, UC Berkeley associate professor of economics, told Yahoo Finance in November.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said his company won’t take a hit like other EV makers from the rollbacks.

“I guess that there would be, like, some impact, but I think it would be devastating for our competitors and for Tesla slightly,” Musk said on a call with analysts after Tesla’s second quarter earnings report. “But long term probably actually helps Tesla, would be my guess, yes…the value of Tesla overwhelmingly is autonomy.”

He thinks he is better than the establishment. He thinks its passé to believe that the microbes of the past can come back at any time and what happened then may very well happen now.

These two (I mean him and Zuckerberg) are nothing like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. The latter two were real geniuses. These two are just smart. Elon is even too smart for the rest of us it seems.

He should take note. Unlike Trump, he doesn't have secret service protection.

I'm sure Melonhead has plenty of security.
