1. We had a few shares of Tesla

Sold it when Elon started to go nuts (publicly).

Sold price - $223

Current price $161

[MLAA]

17. Well done!

I’d buy some now if he weren’t such an asshole who can’t keep his mouth shut and ego in check.

[leftieNanner]

19. It's certainly about Musk and Twitter

But there are so many other options out there for electric vehicles - BMW, VW, Volvo, Ford, Chevy........

That his domination of the EV market is bound to dip. Plus there have been a lot of "spontaneous combustion" problems with Teslas.

[BidenRocks]

41. Live in So. Cal.

I would love to do EV. $$$$$$$$$

I have a 2011 BMW 328I SULEV (Super low emission vehicle)

Best I can do at 67.

[we can do it]

2. Burn it all the way down.

[Rebl2]

27. To the ground

[usonian]

3. How long before Tiedrich is banned from twitler?

Asking for a friend.

[Cha]

5. I was just thinking about

the same.. Surprised JT is still able to be on twitter calling out musk getting Thousands of Likes.

[dalton99a]

7. +1

[Joinfortmill]

13. Not betting on that!

[getagrip_already]

4. down 60% YTD.....

Is that a problem?

Is it a problem to piss off the group of people who would actually buy your cars by promoting a group which is anti-EV in addition to being racist, homophobic and anti-democracy?

They couldn't possibly be related?

[patphil]

9. Nah! Merely coincidental. Actions never cause results.

I can hear the toilet flushing; TSLA is circling the drain.
I feel sorry for the investors, but they should have paid more attention to Musk's words and actions once he acquired Twitter.
Essentially he was a closet Trump Humper, and now he 's come out.
I don't see any positive force that will bring that stock back up. Maybe a few bargain hunters, but it ain't hit bottom yet.

[Joinfortmill]

14. Rofl

[mercuryblues]

6. I guess that one wat to own the Libs

[halfulglas]

8. It's not the racism or homophobia. People don't trust him to run Tesla

reasonably. What if he takes a lot of money out of the company to help back up his crazy Twitter gambits? What if his guarantees on the car are no longer good. He's just so erratic, do you want to invest your money in his company if his company is so much HIM? His being a control freak is turning him into just a freak.

[SoCalDavidS]

15. I saw a Tesla on fire months ago and to this day still see the scorched ground still damaged

From the fire.

25. I'm a firefighter with our town's department

we've been getting training on dealing with EV fires, not fun. Not only do you have to make sure you don't get anywhere near the high voltage power supply, you also need to put over 3,000 gallons of water on one to put it out. Even then they can spontaneously reignite. If the tow truck driver pulls the vehicle to the flatbed the power the generators attached to the wheels creates can set the battery on fire again. Then when they get to the repair shop or wrecking yard they can reignite. Watched a department in CA actually dig a hole, fill it with water and drop the Tesla into it in order to get it out once and for all.

I'm kinda hoping the hydrogen powered vehicles catch on. Once they perfect a safe matrix to store hydrogen I think they will be a bit safer and certainly better in cold climates. Interesting to watch it all unfold and hope I don't get in on a call to put out an EV fire any time soon.

[MerryBlooms]

29. Wow, 3 thousand+ gallons of water. Thanks for your

Dedication to help others. Folks like you saved our home during the Almeda fire. You and yours are heroes! 🥰🥰🥰

I had No idea those EV fires were like you described. Thanks for filling us in. 🤗

[keithbvadu2]

33. Another firefighter agrees with you

[GenXer47]

43. or a safer battery system

Here's a battery system that used hundreds of small, smart battery "balls" that can be oriented any way inside a "tank" - so you can just dump them in and walk away.
The idea would be, at a filling station, you would swap out your battery balls for fresh, recharged ones. It would take 2 minutes and you drive away.
This would also seem to mitigate fires since you could simply separate them from each other.

16. The more the stock drops, the more of it Musk has to give the bankers

In order to cover the collateral for the $30 billion loan to buy Twitter

[SergeStorms]

38. Maybe he'll just bail out...

and leave the Saudis holding the bag.

At this point, I don't think anyone knows what's going on inside Muskrat's head, including himself.

He could use some mental health intervention, in my opinion.

[Bird Lady]

47. Let him try that

The Saudis don't play. They will hand him his head on a platter.

[Yavin4]

18. Some price erosion was inevitable now that all auto makers are investing big on EVs

Being first to the market has its advantages but being able to hold onto your position is something else entirely.

[TlalocW]

20. The Jack Smith Twitter parody account

Noted that Tesla has lost in value 3 times what Elon paid for Twitter since he took over.

[SergeStorms]

39. And he's no longer....

the wealthiest person in the world (although unofficially, Putin would anyone look like a pauper, IMO).

[Mopar151]

21. Musk has'nt a lot of fans amongst auto enthusiasts, either.

Tesla's repair policies have seen to that! Parts only available from Tesla, "authorized repair" takes place in your driveway. As my friend, a happy Chevy Volt /net zero house kind of guy, says "I ain't dyin' on that anthill!"

[LisaM]

36. Or maybe not even your own driveway.

A couple of days ago I saw a Tesla and a Tesla repair truck taking up most of the spaces in our short -term parking lot at our apartment complex and I don't think it was a resident.

[Raven123]

22. A new form of the internal combustion engine

[dchill]

23. I guess nobody wants a Flaming Nazimobile.

[Alice Kramden]

35. LOL

[Martin Eden]

24. Is the devaluation of Tesla stock an attack on free speech?

Asking for a billionaire.

[Caliman73]

26. Of course it is!!

Don't you know that any kind of consequence for any behavior, no matter how disgusting and stupid that behavior is, is a direct affront to Free Speech AND you are spitting in the face of the sweet baby Jesus too!!

[Martin Eden]

34. Well, I always thought

Sweet baby Jesus had it coming.

[dchill]

37. Yes. SCOTUS had decided - money is speech!

[BComplex]

44. So I hope Muskrat is hearing everyone loud & clear!

Everyone seems to be speaking with their money as far as Twitter/Tesla is concerned.

[lillypaddle]

28. Peter Principle

That's all.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. Next stop $99

[70sEraVet]

31. I'll miss Jeff when he gets kicked off twitter

42. Burn baby, burn...

That IS Fran Drescher in the background looking pissed off.

[Iggo]

45. He shoulda paid the billion and walked.

Ego wouldn’t let him, though.

[Revanchist]

46. The Twitter Fiasco may not be the main reason why the stock prices are dropping.

Tesla just came out with their semi truck and it vastly under performs everything else on the market. Basically, you're getting 1/4 of the range and one quarter of max payload because of the battery weight top that the fact that the batteries are so large that it takes forever to recharge it as opposed to 20 minutes to fill up a diesel tank to get your 2000 mile range as opposed to the 500 mile range of the Tesla.
