The Elon Musk Thread

My dad got a Tesla. He's like 75 years old and can barely walk and he bought it a few years back cos he was curious about electric cars - I hope he doesn't get doxxed... especially cos I'm living with him right now...

Make sure to put a little sticker with a pic of @Mr. Tea on it before you leave

Does your dad have any thoughts on Elon

No not really, I tried to draw him out on that but he wasn't having it

 

[IdleRich]

I don't think he understands that there could be political implications to what car you drive

There's pobably way more people like that than people who do tbh

Yeah... people who could end up as collateral damage. Not so much in Oxfordshire as the US or Berlin or something I'm thinking.
There are an awful lot of Teslas in Portugal for some reason, or there were anyway, will be interesting to see if there is any difference when I go back.

People should bomb them judiciously

 

[IdleRich]

It's a surprisingly tacky plastic feeling car.

Yeah, to me. This is starting to look like the madness of WashYourGlans - a "psycho", in your own words.

BREAKING: Tesla is officially Under investigation in Canada and is accused of scamming $43M from Canada’s EV Rebate Program
The Minister of Transport Canada is investigating Tesla after a mountain of suspicious rebate requests were filed in the final three days of Canada's iZEV government incentive program.
As the program wound to a close last month, Tesla filed an incredible 8,600 sales in three days. In spite of severe backlash within Canada against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his participation in the hostile U.S. Trump Administration, the electric car retailer claims that it sold more cars in Canada in the final three days of the $5,000 incentive program than it had in the entirety of the first quarter of 2024.
According to the Toronto Star, Tesla claims to have shifted 8,653 units in a single weekend, with over 4,000 units delivered by a single location in Quebec City. The final-weekend play from Tesla netted the company more than $43 million in Canadian rebates, over half of the program's remaining budget.
Questions are Now being asking after rows of brand new Teslas was seen filling random parking lots in Canada.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick used an appearance on Fox News to encourage viewers to buy stock in Tesla, as the company struggles amid Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration.

Although cabinet secretaries traditionally do not endorse individual stocks, Lutnick told viewers of Jesse Watters Primetime that Musk – a “special government employee” of President Donald Trump – was “the best person to bet on” and that Tesla’s stock will “never be this cheap again.”

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

I mean, he might be right. Buy the dip innit

 

[version]

Mad to have government officials begging people to buy Tesla stock on Fox though. Apparently it continued to drop after this too. It's not exactly gonna fill investors with confidence to see that either, just looks desperate.

Shameful. Literally a joke country

And totally logical as a conclusion
