Tesla Investors have realized in the last few months that:-

1. Kia make much better EVs for half the price.
2. If you want a luxury EV, there are far better options than Tesla, and
3. Elon's twittering has exposed him as a dumb dumb head. He has f**ked his brand bigley. Time to STFU and disappear. Get back to rockets and stuff.

Nobody makes better EVs than Tesla, and the car brand is independent of Elon Musk. He has been a weirdo on Twitter forever. It’s a sign of his extreme intelligence.

Was that his birthday when his dad gave him $200 billion?

Maybe, being a billionaire I suppose one could choose to have ones birthday every day of the year, and if by dad you mean the market overvaluing Tesla to the point of the ridiculous, well yeah, kinda.

He’s cut costs massively. Those former employees are why Twitter lost $1.2B in the past two years. How could they expect to win anything in a lawsuit?

Well he wasn’t always a guru at making EVs and space travel affordable but he made those happen.

I'd say neither of these things are established fact, I mean I could just as easily argue that what he's good at is selling an idea to investors and keeping it going, but guru is an interesting choice of words.

Lucky there’s no wealth tax. Imagine how much the government would’ve had to give back!

Lucky hey, and that'd be on top of the billions they've given Musk companies over the years.

Tesla is still extremely profitable, although growth is slowing. This is certain to affect share prices: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/gross-profit#:~:text=1 Tesla gross profit for the quarter ending,$6.63B, a 62.94% increase from 2019. More items

Yet despite dropping 60% odd in value over the year, it's still trading well over value, with P/E ratios in the 40's, that's indicative of it being hugely speculative, which kinda explains it performing well above the market on the way up, and well below on the way down.

Maybe he too believes contracts are not worth the paper they're written on.

But seriously, this is a bit of a shit take on his employment practices, I'm sure every single person stanning for Elon would be f**king jumping at the bit to work in a place where the boss could just come in, sack a whole heap of merkins and tell all the other merkins that remain if you aint prepared to do a whole heap more work for nothing to cover for all these merkins I sacked, you can pack up your desk and f**k off too.

What a guy!

Lol stanning for Elon, I couldn’t give two shits about him or Twitter. I’ve never used it and I have no intention too. But have you seen some of the former employees??? They wouldn’t know what a hard days work was if it bit them in the arse.

Don’t you run a small business??? How long would you last if you had some of these lazy self entitled merkins working for you?? One of them was offered a job from the head of Reddit, the Reddit CEO said we work during a 9/5 workday his reply??? “ Thanks but I don’t really rock up to work place till 11ish LMFAO!!

If this is a reflection of the idiots he sacked or were asked to work harder and decided to leave I hardly think the company is going to suffer one little bit. A friend showed me some clips of these idiots posting videos while at work it wasn’t work it was more like a form of adult day care.

I'm sure there's plenty of anecdotal examples of lazy merkins you can point to, like in pretty much any large organisation that existed ever, but hey, we're talking tens of thousands of merkins here, and I very much doubt that kind of behaviour is the rule.

There's also plenty of evidence out there that says this is pretty typical of the way Musk treats his employees in his other businesses, so there's that.

And yeah I run a small business, it'll likely remain small on account of I'm just not inclined to be a shit merkin to people that work for me, or people I do business with.

Earlier this year Tesla were dropped from the S&P 500 ESG index. Musk then called ESG a scam. Hard not to think this sort of behaviour is alienating the very people that might actually buy his cars...

Why Tesla CEO Elon Musk Is Calling ESG a 'Scam'

Tesla lost its place this month on the S&P 500 index dedicated to companies excelling at environmental, social, and governance issues.
time.com time.com

Why was Tesla removed?​

In her May 17 blog post, Dorn said that Tesla fell off the rankings after moving down the index relative to its global industry peers. The reasons she cited for this drop included the car maker’s lack of low-carbon strategy and codes of business conduct, allegations relating to racial discrimination and poor working conditions at one of its factories, and the company’s handling of deaths and injuries linked to its driver-assistance systems.

Have you seen the merkins who resides in California and Silicon Valley?? I’d say it’s a pretty good one. Merkins decided to leave instead of working harder lol. I reckon that says more about them then Musk.
