Elon was never the guy who made Tesla work. He's just a rich guy who bought it and then had to be insulated from running it because his ideas suck.

Goodbye, Tesla, and good riddance. Some salutes will never be forgotten.
It's all fun and games until your billion dollar company gets taken down.
Let's put that briefcase back in his hand so he can be left holding it when Tesla's stock tanks
Bet he regrets stopping people from burning down Tesla stores now cause he was claiming insurance for those.
Become a Nazi lose your company. You have been warned.
I'm afraid we need a good ryme, or a 3 word chant in order for it to actually resonate... anyone got a go woke go broke equivelant for nazi's or white supremacists.
Go nazi go kamikaze?
Maybe you could just make like a tree and leave?
There is one very easy way to save Telsa. Musk needs leave and divest. The company can’t have anything to do with him anymore.

I did nazi that one coming...
🙄👏
c/angryupvote material right here
I’m sure Tesla gets an exemption from those battery cell tariffs.
How much that affects product price and influences consumers and the stock price is another question.
He's and the board are going to sell sell sell. It's done.
Bezos car company is a lot more practical. I just wish it wasn’t bezos.
He also threw a bunch of money into Rivian. He’s basically investing in companies that can make a a delivery truck that is cheaper to run and maintain.
That makes sense.
I'm really interested in Aptera if they can get it to production. It's probably more of a nitche vehicle, but I could see it fitting the needs of a lot of people.
They're so close 😭 I've been watching every update video they've posted, I can't wait
Also, it's niche*
I prefer a nitche vehicle. More pragmatic.
If the apterra comes to Australia with what I heard it's price to be ages ago (25k USD) I might just sell my sports car for it.
Maybe if that $56bn bonus goes through he’ll think of something. Heh.
He bought it. He can save it by selling it and all the stock he has in it. The faster he fades into obscurity the better off humanity will be.
Unfortunately, his narcissism won't stand for him fading into obscurity :(
He's gonna sell Teslas... ON MARS! Definitely start in 5 years. Space-X will launch them!
If he were to divest/step down people would stop hating the company.
The board has condoned both him and his antics, and you'll never be able to trust a replacement board. The company is irredeemable.
His shareholders must be all over him.
