Summary

Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.

Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.

Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.

Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.

    I received 0 money from any Democratic donor. They don’t have to pay me to enjoy your downfall.

    Oh wow look taking hard political stances is actually bad for business. A fact known for pretty much all of time. I wonder how the self proclaimed genius didn’t see this coming.

        “linked critics to jeffery epstein”. from a normal shitty guy that would just mean he was saying ‘everyone talking shit about me is also shit’. but he’s not a normal shitty guy. he’s a delusional solipsistic narcissist who cannot imagine anything but himself and has a larger share of society by percentage from a larger more materially and population abundant/surplus society than has ever existed before in the history of life on earth. so when he accuses someone, ANYONE of something, ANYTHING; he is admitting that he can at least imagine himself doing it.

        which means he has imagined himself doing it. and if he had unlimited money and zero consequences and zero conscience, and was into that, why not make his most fucked up fantasies a reality? and he wouldn’t have remembered the guy existed if it wasn’t important. so he clearly enjoyed himself.

        so yes. I can’t prove it in court, because the stardards of courts are classist and bullshit and also I’m very high right now, but elon musk definitely fucked a buncha kids. also he totally looks like a pedo. i’d bet a kidney on that, if there were anywhere i trusted for that kind of thing.

          The legs are really the problem when stuffing a chunky human into a barrel (or so I hear). And a guy like Elon will displace about 25 gallons of liquid, so we really only have to pay for 30.

      He thought he was smarter and that it would be over in a week. He thought no one would keep listening to the bad and they are the type of leaders that only listen to themselves within their own echo chamber.
