Simply mistaken about the dominant life form of Earth. I do not have any Tesla holdings, sh1tcoins, or sh1tmobiles.
So many sick burns 🔥

- Tesla designer Franz von Holzhausen's old professor Eric Noble calling Cybertruck "up there with Edsel"

- "Spectacular failure of Cybertruck was a failure of empathy" for pickup buyers! Musk famously considers a bug of Western Civilization
"The list of famous auto industry flops is long and storied, topped by stinkers like Ford’s Edsel and exploding Pinto and General Motors’s unsightly Pontiac Aztek crossover SUV...Elon Musk’s pet project, the dumpster-driving Tesla Cybertruck, now tops that list." 🤣 www.forbes.com/sites/alanoh...
Elon Musk’s Epic Cybertruck Fail
Elon Musk’s polygonal pickup is a polarizing sales flop that's missed the billionaire’s volume goal by a staggering 84%. And there’s no sign that things are improving.

Take a bow #TeslaTakedown!

The fact that Tesla overproduced and still undershot analyst estimates shows demand got hit harder than they expected. With resale tanking those unsold cars are gonna rot on lots. Financial numbers will be ugly, and we are just getting started!

Very proud of all of you!

Great job #TeslaTakedown, you broke Troy’s model. Really happy for you 🤣🤣🤣
The actual numbers are in. My estimate was 5.4% too high, and the analyst consensus was 12.2% too high. Not a great score for me. The only consolation is that my production estimate was pretty close, thanks to the DMV VIN data.

• My Estimate: 355,000
• Actual: 336,681
• Error: 18,319
• Error: 5.4%

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.

Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

If you search for the Mark Rober Tesla video now on Google or YouTube, there’s an absurd amount of low grade spam “debunking videos”

Just the circle of life on YouTube, or are these “creators” and “influencers” getting paid (on X) too?

A South African man emigrated to settle in San Francisco. After brief prosperity, he proclaimed himself "Emperor of these United States” and declared bankruptcy. Many considered him insane or eccentric. 150 years later, another followed in his footsteps…

The goal is to reclassify X’s meager subscription revenue as “AI revenue”. Musk already started pretending by bundling xAI with X blue-check subscriptions, since no consumer or business actually pays for xAI’s Grok. Now he can vault into “AI 2nd place” behind OpenAI, even though it’s trash revenue
It is, in a way, amusing. An all stock transaction with a laughable valuation.

A company with no revenues acquires a company scarcely able to pay debt service.

Screwed shall be all the xAI investors who came in with Elon (the X investors already were screwed).

It's the world of Trump & Musk.
well ok then

"@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt)…"

This Cybertruck feature will be amazing on Halloween.

Wearing a costume? Want loud spooky music? Hate Cybertrucks? You know what to do
Tesla has apparently updated the "Sentry Mode" of Cybertrkkks to make them play "creepy" music at maximum volume if the car is disturbed. Unfortunately, one owner says it sounds like it's damaging the speaker because it's so loud.

I’d like to hear the best case from any auto expert for why the Cybertruck is NOT the biggest American auto flop of all time.

(Often called a “steel man” or in this case “cast aluminum man”)

Flaming dumpster fire visuals are the perfect companion to Lutnick’s “hot tip”
On Jesse Watters’ show, Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, tells viewers they should buy Tesla stock.

“I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla. It’s unbelievable that this guy’s stock is this cheap. It’ll never be this cheap again.”

In our internal polling, among Democrats likely to vote in the spring Supreme Court election, 1% approve of Elon Musk.

How many disapprove? 94%.

The Tesla protests are proof that Elon and Trump are not invincible.

Tesla just spent millions on a Kardashian “endorsement”, following Trump’s $100M endorsement. The “robot” in the shoot isn’t even commercially available. Kim charges $500K for an Instagram post so guessing this shoot was $5M-$10M. There goes marketing budget
Would love to know if Musk paid Kim Kardashian a billion dollars to repost old photos of herself draped over a cybertruck yesterday or if she’s just gone full fash on her own

“Special Elon Zone”: a man-cave where children (male) are seen and not heard, ex-wives can’t enter, and he’s mommy’s best boy forever.
Balaji Srinivasan suggests giving Elon Musk “control of a huge swath of land surrounding Starbase, Texas” & designate that land as “a military base or … similar, so that [Musk] can fence it off & determine at his sole discretion who can enter.” Then replicate in other states w/ other Tech Bros. 1/

That (totally insane/illegal) White House stunt buoyed Tesla yesterday, but it's back down ~3% today. Value has been halved since its high following election.

A Lysistrata style sex boycott is ultimate #TeslaTakedown solidarity. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'd rather mate outside my species than date a Tesla owner.

In a boycott like #TeslaTakedown, don’t be a jerk, but microaggressions are necessary and effective! Show thumbs down, and don’t be deferential, treat Teslas no better than a 20 year old Prius. It’s essential for maintaining solidarity. (Ask our union brothers and sisters how they treat scabs.)
