Tesla sales crash continues in Europe, with Germany down 70%

I keep wondering how much of his behaviour has to do with his estranged kids telling him he's a dick as well as his Ketamine abuse.

70% is just rookie numbers

Why old Facebook accounts still matter:
-Your past likes, groups, comments, and interactions are stored and can still be used for ad profiling or sold as part of larger datasets.
-If you once liked a brand or a political page, that interest could still be factored into long-term data models.
-If you have active friends, their interactions with your old profile (e.g. tagging you in old posts, mentioning you) can still keep your account relevant to Meta’s algorithms.
-Your friends may have synced their contacts with Facebook, meaning your email or phone number could still be in Meta’s database.
-If you’ve ever used “Log in with Facebook” for third-party apps, Meta can see when and where you log in.
-Even if you don’t actively sign in, Facebook cookies might still track you across other websites (depending on your browser settings).
-Advertisers may have access to archived data that gets combined with current trends.
-Your profile might be included in anonymized datasets used for AI training or market analysis.
That made me wonder, in regard to your question, how much meta really makes out of Facebook accounts like yours.
Out of curiosity I asked Mistral how much an inactive Facebook account might generate daily. It estimated $0.005 but noted it could be even lower. Let’s take a careful guess at $0.001.
Ridiculously low, irrelevant, right?
Well, there are 3 billion Facebook users. Let‘s assume Facebook earns $0.001 for each account, each day.
This would be 3 billion times $0.001 which equals $3,000,000. Daily!

And those from the fucking UK apparently.
Very similar though - just waiting for them to elect farage to gut UK public services.

In a normal company they could, but the board are all loyal to him, not the company. Recently they insisted in giving him a 50 BILLION bonus, yes, with B. No chance they will intervene. And putting a puppet CEO like at Twitter won't have a strong effect either.

In shorttime growth in a billion company..this is poisioness for tesla..elon all te blame...reminder of history is bad this company must be wiped out
-
Dont know is a normal company...normal company growth big in generations like toyota honda volkwagen bmw..one life time there is a big bubble...also want to act like apple...propiatary stuf.. I dont mind tesla for demise
-
Even the most expensive Tesla is like the entry price for real sportscars. That dude is high
-
What's worse is that they seem to be liking it. Their entire country had collectively goatse'd themselves and exclaimed "INSERT COINS HERE".
-
I mean... why wouldn't all that is happening not have a effect on sales? Musk is the face of Tesla and Musks image has totally gone downhill for lots of people. He's gone from "techbro genius" to "fascist" in a few months (!) in the public image and there is really not reason to doubt, that this won't have an effect on sales.
-
Well, he stated that he wants to eradicate the woke mind virus, but I think that's all smokescreen.
IMHO, he figured out that the US is bigger than whatever wealth he may have hoarded.
-
He'll still retain his shares. Which is the source of his wealth.
For my money I'm going to throw a goddamn party if this cursed stock hits double digits.
-
PayPal blocked my account in like 2017 or something, never used it again
-
Good. 30% left to go.
-
Because only rich Ukranians could afford them, and the rich ones fled Ukraine when the war kicked up.
-
Next, space x?
-
Does that still apply when the CEO is also Emperor of the United States?
