    And the stock still gained almost 5% since yesterday when they also announced revenue was down, way down and if you look closely at said revenue it was mostly from carbon credits which are endangered in the current administration. Without that they would have posted a loss.

    Somewhere Alan Greenspan is tapping a sign.

      I wonder are they assuming he’ll be able to siphon hundreds of billions of government money?

      The TrumpMelania memecoins are 100% brazen corruption with zero pushback, these people must think there’s nothing to stop them.

        Yeah I mean, company leader being prominently in bed with the most corrupt president ever is almost certainly great for business. Even Elon would have to try hard to fuck up that kinda advantage. Not surprising at all if investors are still bullish.

        I dunno, from the institutional side almost all trading now happens through algorithms and from the consumer side almost all trading is fueled by memes and vibes. The crash is gonna be the mother of all crashes. I mean just look at what Deepseek did a few days ago, it deleted hundreds of billions of dollars in NVDIA stock value. These stocks are so overvalued that they reflect absolutely nothing about their present ability to turn a profit. They are pure speculative fantasy.

          100%. When it happens on Trump’s watch, I wonder will Trump take over the Federal Reserve? And start money printing trillions to rescue the stock market?

          Erdogan has bankrupted Turkey with hyperinflation and his minions still love him.

          Trump had bankrupted every business he’s ever owned, it would be on brand for him to bankrupt America and the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

        There IS nothing to stop them. The FTC and related are absolutely worthless at best but more likely complicit.

    He no longer has use for pumping Tesla stock with that talking point now that he has his army of chuds to buy into any pump and dump crypto scheme.

      Plus, the stock for Tesla didn’t really go that far down in price after the nazi salute. Strange times indeed.

    That’s terrible news! Tesla’s new customers have a hard time keeping their hands on the wheel while doing Nazi salutes. FSD was a solution for them.

    No shit, he announced “FSD” in 2015.

    Wait until the stock market figures this grifter out and carries the trajectory of his “FSD” lies over to his “AI” ambitions. His net worth is propped up on duct tape and lies.
