I laugh at sad Nazis.
End of Tesla. Let’s do it.
HAHAHAHAHAH!
Let’s bring the bourgeoisie down before it’s too late. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Accountability for the traitors to humanity.
Mush is an easy target. We’re have a harder time getting a handle on Bozos. We need some spine in the government that can tax some fuckers.
Never nude, pants down!
🍽
Lol
Oh no, I feel really bad for him… Anyway…
Why feel bad for him? He did it to himself. I feel bad for the workers who are probably gonna be fired, but that’s about it…
It’s the text for a Meme where the person feign caring for him but moves on quickly.
To be fair, he did make a prediction before the election that the DOGE cuts will cause some financial pain.
Hopefully he shorted Tesla.
But consequences aren’t supposed to affect him. That’s why his identity is wealth.
That’s what you get for earning value with memes instead of with true quality. It won’t last.
Too. Fucking. Bad.
From community description:
This is a sanctuary for those seeking a break from the incessant negativity often found in today’s news cycle. From acts of everyday kindness to large-scale philanthropic efforts, from individual achievements to community triumphs, we bring you news that gives hope, fosters empathy, and strengthens the belief in humanity’s capacity for good.
Are you sure this one fits in? Why, of all the communities, choose this one specifically?
Because Elon being made miserable is something that most other people would consider to be uplifting - I know it certainly made me happier to read it
It’s the continuation of all the negative news about Musk and Tesla and MAGA. While it is uplifting to some that they have setbacks, I believe this doesn’t help people distract from this shitshow, which I reckon the community is all about.
Besides, people made miserable is not in the spirit of the place, either.
I also subscribe here because as a non-American I need to be able to escape the Musk/MAGA news cycle at times. I go to c/all when I wanna read that stuff.
Is it? Or is it just bullshit because Spacex, Palantir and Meta have over 7 Trillion Dollars in government contracts. Tesla is just the sacrificial lamb
I agree with you man. This isn’t uplifting news.
It may feel right and just that the guy is getting push back, but we think more about his other actions and it drags us down, rather than lifting us up.
It’ll get tons of upvotes in all kinds of other subs because most of us want the guy to get hit by karma hard, but it’s not about us feeling good.
It’s comforting to me as a reminder that money is entirely made up, and that my poverty is not a marker of my value. Elon Musk has had every opportunity available to him - the fact that he can’t run a company, has zero fucking knowledge of physics despite pretending to be a super genius despite the fact that he’s never had to chose between skipping a class and taking a shift for rent money - it’s comforting that wealth has zero correlation with capability.
How is it not uplifting to see a fascist who is a billionaire suffer?
Not all good news is uplifting.
Because not all of us are sadists. The guy deserves what’s coming to him, but it’s more than just him.
Aside from the nazi there are tons and tons and TONS of workers who are impacted by the nazi’s choices. They all stand to lose their jobs, bonuses etc out of all of this. If the nazi didn’t exist, there would be no negative connotation with the business. After all, they just make EVs and deal with power generation and storage for the most part, as a business.
Then there’s all the people who have retirement funds which have invested in the business simply because it’s been growing traditionally. I have index funds, so I am personally affected by the valuation loss. I don’t think i’ll avoid buying more QQQM or VOO either, it’s just traditionally beating most fund managers by a large margin with minimal expense.
I’d love to see the guy lose his compensation package and lose his CEO status and board rights, but I doubt any of that will happen. I’d love for him to be prosecuted by all the illegal shit he’s personally directed in these past months, but I doubt it will happen.
Ultimately thinking of all this shit is still net negative and not uplifting for me. Give me some news about how the guy is being forced out and that the workers are being taken care of or something and i’ll be all for it.
And yet… His net worth is still around 370 billion dollars, more than just around half a year ago…
Has he tried not being a nazi bastard?
…maybe he’ll do the world a favor and step into an industrial shredder…
(shame about his genetic legacy, but hopefully all their mothers are mostly good people who give them a fighting chance at turning out well)
I’m finding this funny/interesting. Because normally I think consumption boycotts don’t really work that well as a strategy since it takes a lot of people not buying the thing to affect big companies and big companies tend to have so many products people need that it can be hard for a lot of people to completely avoid them.
But Tesla is in a uniquely terrible position for withstanding such a boycott. They sell one big ticket product market substitutes and its success depends almost entirely on its brand. They’re status symbols. They’re virtue signals for climate consciousness. (without you know, actually supporting real solutions like mass transit) And before people noticed how much of a shitbag Musk was, they were associated with his cool Tony Stark tech persona.
Then Musk put himself into a position where anyone who was able to ignore his nonsense before definitely couldn’t now. So this company that was almost entirely dependent on people liking Musk enough to think the cars were cool now loses most of that market appeal.
I hate the schadenfreude journalism. I will never meet this guy, I don’t care how he feels any more than some random South Dakotan. The reason he’s relevant is his outsized impact on government and the country, tell me about that.
Right. I don’t care much about his alignment or even that he’s come out as a Nazi. While it’s a huge red flag, I guess it’s his preference. The important parts are how he acts on those beliefs, who he hurts and how many, how his actions hurt our society
Him publicly being a Nazi is an issue though because it emboldens other Nazis and makes them thing its more socially acceptable to be a Nazi.
It used to be a big deal when a public figure got caught doing a Nazi salute. Public apology, condemnation of Nazism, donation to a holocaust victims charity or similar was expected. For him to do it and not even apologise or try to say it was something else and not be stripped of any roles as a result is a dangerous shift.
