    And Twitter users.

    And, perhaps most importantly, the investors who allowed Musk to go from just another moderately wealthy silicone valley dude to the wealthiest person on earth. And the FTC for not throwing him in jail for decades for stock market manipulation.

    Don't forget the regulators who let him have a board made up of his friends and family.

    Most shareholders don't have a choice. Pension funds and 401k's are legally required to own a pool of all stocks which forces them to buy Tesla.

    It's how Musk got to offload his overpriced SpaceX stock onto the public.

    They diversify sure. But are they required to have a pool of β€œall stocks?” (That would be quite a few.) The portfolio managers can choose what to include in the portfolio.

    Tesla owners don't give AF. They think they are superior beings.

    Sometimes those stickers are on models that came out after we all knew what Musk is.

    Elon Musk backstabbed tesla owners when he bought twitter and started supporting trump instead of being politically neutral as before. It was a very bad idea for Biden to credit GM for EVs and not include Musk in automaker meetings.

    Agree on the Biden bit. But think there's more to it. Saw a new documentary about Elon Musk and the lawsuits against Tesla concerning the failed autopilot, which have killed and injured several people. One of the main points in the movie was that Elon Musk started supporting Trump to put an end to the 3-4 lawsuits, which would have big consequences for Tesla and Musk, which it indeed did when Trump won. To me it sounds like that would also be a pretty big motivation for supporting Trump.

    Are you suggesting Biden not including him is the reason he turned ultra maga?

    As pathetic as it sounds, yes. There was an abrupt change in Muskrat's behaviour after that snub. He swung hard towards Republicans immediately after it, and was very very loudly butthurt about it all over social media.

    Should a grown man be that fragile, no.

    But all evidence suggested he indeed was, and part of this hellscape we are in is because Dems shunned Tesla & Musk in a public way and damaged his apparently fragile ego.
