I'm German and I won't buy a Tesla anymore. Because only a*holes are capable to so what's happening over there. Actually, I won't buy anything made in US and sold here anymore. Bye bye US prime beef. I can't afford you anyway anymore :(

The reason is more that no one is buying anything anymore at the moment. It feels so insecure and it feels like corona is back. The ones that have been sold are sold for reasons we don't know. But we know everything is going hibernation.


> I won't buy anything made in US and sold here anymore.

Not to counter the argument, but just if I would consider doing the same. What to do with laptops - Apple (silicon), Intel, AMD and Qualcomm are all US companies.


> Bye bye US prime beef.

It might be a blessing in disguise, given the shit they fed them cows:

You don't have a clue or are playing dumb on the stuff that has been done across EU covertly.

Check the whole thread (RF BrainScan, biolabs etc): https://x.com/JDewarto61659/status/1889671237539930131

Here are couple more: "Black Organ trade harvesting across New EUgenic Empire, this time in Ukraine ?" https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1085rr0/black_o...

"NATO UKRAINIAN WHITE ANGEL'S AND PHOENIX CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION" https://x.com/RedpillDrifter/status/1895562771884097924


what??? What is wrong with you? ... You really believe this shit?

RF BrainScan - What is this sht??? You really think, its possible to use RF (electromagnetic waves) to scan/induce something into the brain??? WHO THE FCK IS TELLING SUCH SHIT?!?!?!?! the best science and medical companies are having hard time to get high resolution data of our brain using MRT, and you telling me one just needs antennas????

I'm really speachless.

child trafficking - LOL! They also eat their pets I tell you I saw it with my own eyes:)


I like this backlash. Europeans should show that they have values and that their market matters.


Things only seem to be getting worse on the whole Musk PR front. These numbers will be from before the whole Zelensky Vance Trump meeting that didn't go very well. Musk seems to be going for the blame Zelensky for the war don't criticize Putin schtick which will probably not be great for sales.

Just a couple of hours ago: "Zelensky wants a forever war, because he loses his spotlight on the international stage as soon as peace is achieved." Compare that with "Just 4% of Americans support Russia in war with Ukraine" https://www.yahoo.com/news/just-4-americans-support-russia-0...

Not sure it's a winner with the public.


I’m honestly blown away Europe hasn’t hit Teslas with a massive tariff, maybe even recurring super premium registration charge on the more-expensive models. (Or suspend camera-only self driving.) Particularly Germany and the UK, where Musk has been meddling.

germany probably has a fair case to do so but the UK hardly does given she furnished the harris campaign with a large amount of free labor, nearly 100 staffers: https://mynbc15.com/news/nation-world/british-labour-party-s...

We (EU/UK) don't really do tariffs for political meddling. Maybe for economic reasons or sanctions on Russia but not that kind of stuff.

I don't give a shit about politics and snowflakes.

Bigger problem are insane EU taxes, regulation and upcoming chinese competition.


Perhaps the board should furnish shareholders with ketamine?

I know Musk is a regular ketamine user but I don't get the joke. Do you mind explaining it?

At some point the shareholders are going to start putting pressure on the board. One was to attenuate the shareholders would be to anesthetize them.

Tesla has always been about to die according to HN. When it does, I think it's going to be because the Chinese got better at cars than any Western company. But it being Sunday morning and some guy on HN celebrating the demise of an Elon Musk company that nonetheless continues to prosper for another year is about par for the course.

Tesla's stock dropped almost 30% in the 28 days of February...

Non shareholders get so upset about something they don't even own. Up 40% in the last six months. Up 520% in the last five years. Relax. It's going to be okay.

smart investors do not buy p/e ratio of 1,000,000 with 69-years-in-the-making “robo”taxis (which will now apparently be driven bu humans…)

And you are as welcome to your intelligence as I am to my wealth. Neither of us, I must assume, covets the other's position.

if your wealth is tied to tsla stock you may have to drive uber in retirement :)
