    I like how Tesla thinks replacing their CEO is going to bring those sales back.

      TESLA would have to fire Elon, force him to sell all his shares (ALL of them), and fire all Elon’s family from the board so the public in general MAY start looking at tesla as a viable purchase again…

          lol no, but ironically making shitty, expensive cars is the least of Tesla’s problems

        If he sells his shares, he gets money for them, right? They should be seized, and he should be put in a cell deep underground with those warning signs intended to communicate danger to future generations.

          warning signs intended to communicate danger to future generations.

          because you keep him on life support?

              Knowing humans, this is probably the best way to ensure someone goes experimenting like that.

              Future people find warning signs and a sealed container. You think they would not open it just to sate their curiosity alone, and once they find human remains there… you know they are at most some hours away from inhaling the sweet air of experiments and discovery.

      Wait, polestar only now pulled ahead in Sweden? That’s honestly kind if sad. If your home nation won’t support you, how will anyone else. So yeah good, but this should have always been the trend.

        polestar sold much better before they moved production to china, which of course meant tariffs for EU buyers. also, polestar’s cheapest option is like double the price of the cheapest tesla if i’m not mistaken.

          My guess is that most of the world, including Swedes, has become more positive towards “Made in China” since January 19.

    I’m surprised the shareholders aren’t considering suing him. He’s the CEO, and yet causing material harm to the company.
