Know it’s hard work sorting though all this weasel’s scamming and then putting it together in a coherent manner, well done and thank you for better understanding!

Is it too soon for Schadenfreude?

With any luck, Elmo’s scheming ass will have to get a job in fast food or retail and learn what it feels like to barely exist. Remember what he said about American having to go thru some hard times (while HE saves “our government” trillions, yeah right!)

Thanks so much, Cherie! Yes, he is such a F’n scumbag. I have a feeling things are not going to end well for him….

I believe you’re correct about not ending well for the scumbag… not wishing it for him or anyone but won’t be sad about it either.

Such a sad, pathetic man. To have so much wealth and power and squander it on self-aggrandizement, cruelty and division. It has been an incredibly challenging couple of months, but I sleep well at night knowing I’m on the right side of history.

PS I assume Musk will blame the decline of Tesla on “woke consumers”, as he has done with Twitter. Surprise Musk! The majority of folks who can afford your cars are highly educated and/or informed, and see through your bigotry and hate. Consumer marketing 101!

Exactly. I think he originally aligned himself with Democrats specifically to get in good with those consumers who would support Tesla. Then, after he got all of the money he could out of them, I believe he thought he could milk the Republican voters by simply making a pick up truck for them but that strategy seems to have backfired in his face. Such a pathetic human! Thank you for taking the time to read the article and leave your thoughts in the comments. 🙏🩶

Great piece Don. I took a look at stock valuation's today, and Tesla stock is seriously overvalued, more than any other car company, more than any other tech company, and using good ole' Peter Lynch's method of Fair value, Tesla's Fair Value is .... $55. Stock coming down hard now, 363 to 290 (today's close). People apparently picketing car dealershiips! Also Read more on: https://the.ink/p/watch-occupy-tesla-live-with-hamilton-nolan

Thanks so much, Jan! Exactly $55, per share is the actual value without all of the “billionaire genius” PR hype. Hopefully that’s where it is headed! Thanks for sharing the link too—I’m going to check it out after the gym. 🙏

Hey, I appreciate this article but it doesn’t really make sense to me. Cars are only a very small part of what Elon does. He’s got millions and millions in government contracts that aren’t going anywhere. Until those are in jeopardy I don’t really see that his business is going to crash do you? Am I missing something?

Hey Mary, thanks so much for taking the time to read the article and share your question! I tried to keep the article as streamlined as possible, so this is a great point that I didn’t touch on directly.

While Musk has multiple ventures, Tesla has been his primary cash cow, providing significant cash flow and consumer influence. Other companies, like Twitter and SpaceX, don’t offer the same liquidity—Twitter is hemorrhaging money, and SpaceX is heavily dependent on government contracts, which he can’t easily leverage for personal financing.

Historically, Tesla’s stock has been his key to securing massive loans, using his shares as collateral. If Tesla’s stock continues to decline, it will severely limit his ability to fund other ventures and maintain his influence.

Beyond Tesla, Musk is facing growing competition across all of his businesses. SpaceX, once unrivaled in private spaceflight, now faces serious challenges from Blue Origin and Rocket Lab. And even more concerning for Musk, SpaceX’s government contracts are largely predicated on Trump, making it an incredibly vulnerable position if political power shifts. Meanwhile, Twitter is rapidly losing ground to platforms like Bluesky.

In essence, Tesla’s stock decline is just the beginning—it’s one of the biggest domino pieces about to fall. The market is starting to recognize that Musk’s empire isn’t as untouchable as it once seemed.

Thanks again for checking out the article and sharing your thoughts in the comments—I really appreciate it! 🙏

Everyone needs to contact their congressmen and women and demand they don’t allow musk to receive any more taxpayer dollars to bail him out when Tesla crashes and it’s worthless.

Definitely. However, that is 100% reliant on Donald Trump, which is not a good position to be in.
