The Ford Edsel car is widely used as a case study in business schools as an example of a massive fuck up. But Ford sold way more of those cars (118k) than the Cybertruck (maybe 60k?) and USA had half as many people then (and lower car ownership rates).

Wow! We’re selling BRUTALLY Less Cars this year Thanks to our CEO? Sounds like he needs ONE TRILLION DOLLARS!

Good. Fuck this paedophile and his weird rapey, money hoarding cult.

This is at least in part because Tesla is shifting manufacturing over to humanoid robots because he has to make a million of them to get his trillion dollar payout. His stupid shareholders are essentially paying him to nuke the company (unless you believe the humanoid robot hype)

In just six years he’s gone from being a visionary to the poster boy for stupidity. Who did he honestly think was buying his cars? Because it wasn’t the fascists.

I’m glad he was so dumb as to show us. He could’ve been behind the scenes, throwing money at things but without anybody knowing. Thankfully, we now know what kind of person he is, and by extension which people are fine with it.

Don’t think he cares. His wealth has grown precipitously since dismantling all corporate regulation.

His wealth is mostly imaginary. It’s how much his companies are “valued” in stock exchange. Tesla being worth 6x Toyota or 30x VW makes no logical sense, they no way that kind of sales, but shares get bought and sold at insane numbers.
Now unfortunately, some of that wealth is real, plus imaginary wealth still wields a lot of power.

For now.
But his wealth is largely tied to Tesla stock and its performance.
