Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car

Let me be more specific.
I think he will be kicked out of DOGE because of all the controversy and Trump's own distaste for him. That between this and firing so many people who voted for Trump, Elon will become Persona Non Grata to the Right, pivot to the Left searching for some group willing to give him attention....
And in doing so, he will finally come out as trans... and be mercilessly mocked by the Right over it.
He will never find a group that accepts him (well her at this point), because we'll still remember all the horrible things she did.
And sort of find herself in the same kind of limbo Caitlyn Jenner is in where Nazis hate her because she's trans, and Non-Nazis hate her because she's transphobic.
This is how I'm convinced Elon's story will end. Just how I feel like this is going down.
Trump hired him in the first place so I don't think he's going to get kicked out because of Trump's distaste. Trump doesn't care about people he only cares about himself and Elon is useful to him.
If he gets kicked out it'll be because he became a risk to Trump probably because he tried to take Trump on.

I guarantee that in a few months, mark my words, he will not be in Doge anymore, he will pivot to the Left, and SHE will come out as trans.
I would almost willingly put money on this.
Are we writing fan fiction for the government now?
I like how it follows the tradition of all fan fiction in being totally inconsistent with established personality traits.

It’s close to 50% drop in Europe. The EU has 500 million people. They may not know it yet but Tesla is on hospice care.
Plus of course if the US ever does impose import fees on Europe the obvious response would be to impose import fees on Tesla's. It's a luxury item so the general public probably won't hugely care, and it will hit the only person really to blame for all of this without unnecessarily targeting other US businesses. You know, how import fees are supposed to be used

To your list add that new Tesla sales are also competing against an increasing number of Tesla owners who now want to divest themselves of the brand.
More used Teslas on the market will only push down the market rates and thus profits of new Teslas even further.
Plus of course people are more likely to be trying to buy used cars (of any brand) or not buying any cars at all given the current economic situation. Which of course is also elon's fault, at least partly.

Yeah but that's the logic that the climate change denies also used.
"Global warming can't be real, as it snowed yesterday"

Are you criticizing Musk or our government?
Why not both?

The full self-driving promise was always a matter of interpretation
There's nothing to interpret. It does not fully drive itself.
Not safely anyway.
Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for us, he undoubtedly has full control over whichever department defines the word "safely".

Although he has right-wing ideologies, there is no evidence of Elon Musk being a Nazi. A car can't be a Nazi either.
I'm tired of all of the populism and strong headlines on Lemmy. Actual factual journalism gets burried deep in the feed.

Confusing title. How can a car be a Nazi?
If you took a handgun from a Nazi, wouldn't that be a Nazi handgun?
I didn't think they are saying the car chose to be a Nazi

Revenue [increased] 2% to $25.71 billion
Yes. Only 25.7 billion dollars. It's practically dead.

No need to get personal. I'm open for a civilized discussion but not this.

Maybe it’s time to get better at researching companies before major decisions. Do you have a system in place for doing background research on future large purchases?
That shame is no use unless it helps you update your behavior. Shame about a “one-off” decision in the past will continue to nag you until you figure out how to avoid the same mistake in the future.
So how can you avoid realizing ten years out that some big purchase you made supported someone you disagree with? How can you do it in advance?
When you can predict the behavior of a company 10 years out, you pet me know. I'll make you my banker.
Until then, that whole comment is hot garbage.

I legitimately didn't know about that tweet. Can you share a source? I find a lot of articles but none of them quoting the content in full.

Wwwaaahhh! Defending Nazis gets people to say man things to me!

Remember 2015? A Tesla parked in your driveway told your neighbours that you valued innovation, that you possessed an environmental conscience, that you had a stake in the future of the planet. The cars weren't perfect, but they meant something. They represented hope - for clean energy, EVs, and a world beyond fossil fuels.
This was me years go. I new climate change was real and an imminent threat. I wanted to vote with my wallet for a cleaner future. I also wanted to strike a blow against the National Automotive Dealers Association for their regressive practices that hurt consumers and drive prices for cars higher for everyone. Buying a Tesla did those things. I charge the car on sunlight from my house. I was proud to be doing something rather than just talking about needs for changes against climate change.
Musk doesn't get any of my money from this car. I don't pay for any of the Tesla monthly services. I'm don't want to be seen driving with a Tesla logo on the car. I'm ashamed that my good intentions funded a fascist.
I came really close back then, had a deposit but canceled due to realizing I had a perfectly good old car and didn't "need" one at the time. Hindsight says I lucked out.
If I did get it, and still had it (I would, I keep cars for 10+ years), I would probably rebadge it as an indicator of my dislike for what the brand has become.
I'd actually love to see a rebadging campaign by dissatisfied owners.

I guess you could say the same about Hitler, since he didn't personally kill any jews. If killing jews isn't a requirement then there is definetly evidence that musk is a neo-nazi

I'm voicing my opinion about titles like that. They are posted here to invoke a reaction. 99% of commenters here haven't read the article. The title is the whole reason why it's posted.
