    I can’t imagine a situation where a humanoid robot would be a benefit to us in our 650sqft apartment. What would it even do? And the cost would be astronomical.

      There are a couple local teslas with the “I bought it before I knew how awful he is” stickers and like, okay, I can understand how that might happen. Still gonna judge you until there’s some evidence you don’t suck, but I’m willing to be forgiving on that one.

      … However there’s also a local cybertruck with that sticker, and buddy no nobody’s buying it, stop trying to lie your way out of the consequences for your actions it just makes you look even worse. FWIW I’ve seen people throw rocks at the truck twice, so there’s some hope for the future.

        Which is absolute bullshit fucking lies.

        Cause hes been a piece of shit his entire fucking life. He’s been a piece of shit since Paypal (Which was notorious for stealing peoples money when he was still part of it, hell…probably still is today). The whole “I bought it before I knew how awful he was” bullshit is the equivalent of nazi’s ripping off their swastikas, and when confronted saying they knew nothing but what they’ve heard is awful and terrible.

          I know a few very decent people who have bought like 6-7 years back. Especially back then this was just (at first sight, they were paying later when services came…) the best electric car out there. This has changed (BYD etc), and I don’t want to get into the general “cars suck” discussion here. Not my poimt. All I wanna say is that I in no way judge per se anybody driving an “old” model S. Not every average customer did the research and maybe it was a bit more known to the general public in the US than in the rest of the world what a douchebag Elon was let’s say pre 2020. All the newer/Tesla versions and their buyers? They can go fuck themselves because no excuse after DOGE any more. You’re directly supporting fascism. Everybody knows today.

    I predicted this after his reputation fully tanked when he went full MAGA/ DOGE. Every earnings report is going to depress the stock price more and more, until the floor just falls out, and it collapses.

    Tesla is NEVER coming back. It will be bankrupt in 3 years.

        The nazi salute is the same time they’re talking about though…

        And the stock is starting to tank, because the earnings are shit, but they’ve been way below it’s valuation for ages

        You guys? As in… Who?

        Cause it’s not like there’s some magic place that’s doing a great job holding him accountable.

        Thinking anywhere is immune from fascism is exactly how it spreads.

        People don’t even read. They have record sales right now, the issue isn’t that people aren’t buying their cars.

        The reason for the tank is because of how much money Tesla is spending on expansion; robotaxi rollout, data centers, and Optimus are sucking up short term funds in seeking out long term profits. Investors and the stock market hate this, but it’s nothing more than a temporary blip.

            If those ventures fail, they cut their losses and fall back on their cars which are doing wildly well and it’s back to business as usual. They have like 1.5 million active FSD users, nearly half of which are paying a monthly $99. They just added 200,000 more this quarter alone.

            Don’t get me wrong, fuck Tesla, I wish to see Elon destitute and miserable. But it’s just not realistic, in my opinion.

    In two weeks when SPCX employees can sell, please let them cash out and resign as hard as possible. They’re reasonable intelligent people who know the promises are science fantasy, so this is a plausible scenario. Then, as investors lose faith, Tesla enters true freefall right as fElon tries to leverage his shares to float SPCX. Let this Icarus of Grift come spiraling down so we never have to hear about him or his cultists again.

    Looking at short term with stocks is never the right thing to do. Stocks go up and down every day.

    You should always look at 1Y and 5Y and as we see for Tesla, that’s … oh.

    Nevermind.

      Why are Hank and Dale coming back from a Costco trip? Like don’t get me wrong I could totally see both of them going to Costco and Dale getting into some hijinx with their rotisserie chicken or something, but like why?

        Neither of these men would go to Costco. Dale because they require membership with a photo ID and he doesn’t want to be tracked, Hank because it’s essentially collective bargaining with manufacturers and that’s Communism. (Peggy would absolutely love it, Bobby is excited by all the free samples, and Hank might be swayed by the end of the episode because of the principled stance on what things “ought to cost”.)

        ETA: Rusty Shackleford might go to Costco.

          I was kinda figuring that it’s after the episode where they get over whatever gripes they have with Costco. Dale most certainly not have a membership card but Hank takes him anyways. Also I don’t think Hank would think it’s communism since Costco is actually a pretty damned good example of Capitalism done right with it undermining competition via lower prices using clever tricks rather than market dominance, he would probably have a different gripes like how far away it is versus how much they save or thinking they’re fucking over customers in some unseen way like selling old food or something.

          I imagine it’d probably be something along the lines of Peggy dragging Hank to Costco and Dale tagging along for one reason or another. I could also see it becoming a mild gag in later episodes where Dale and Hank come back from Costco with mostly normal things but Dale buying the occasional weird shit in bulk.

    Oof.

    I sold my shares years ago, when Musk started to show his first signs of becoming radicalized. Looks like it was a pretty good call.
