Tanking Tesla stock costs Musk a lot. Trashing unsold teslas means Tesla makes a lot of insurance claims. Short term that’s as good as a sale, well not really, the insurance only pays the replacement value which is less than the sell value, so it hurts their profits a bit, but it reduces stock and that does help a little. But if there’s a pattern of Tesla dealerships getting entire fleets destroyed, their insurance rates go up, which hurts their profits a lot more. So they’ll raise prices and sell fewer cars, which hurts their entire business.

Once or twice, it’s no big deal for Tesla. If the pattern keeps up then of going to start to squeeze them.

Musk has been a toxic asset for Tesla for quite some time, even before recent DOGE shit. I’m not sure why they don’t remove him. I get that he has majority shares, but there are still mechanisms for removing him.

We’re talking gold medalists at mental gymnastics though. My right wing relatives are now retiring their own narratives. They used to say “drill baby drill, EVs are for libs.” now they are saying that Tesla is the only brand for a patriot because the company and factories are in America.

The fall guy. The whole movie was an homage to the stunt crew and they had some fun with that.

No one going to call out that anon has sleep apnea? Dude just dozed off and stopped breathing and his brain wrote a quick narrative to explain it. People talking like anon went to another plain, but this is just some shit your brain does when your body is so dumb it forgets to breath when you fall asleep and your brain is desperate to wake your ass up so it can get its oxygen fix.

I have this weird habit of buying the less popular but arguably better thing. I went with windows phone, a nook instead of a kindle, an zune mp3 player, and a Mustang MachE instead of a Model Y. That last choice might have been the only one that ultimately paid off.
