Nationalize his assets and deport him to South Africa
Tesla was built off the backs of the US taxpayer. It's so crazy to me that he's too dumb to realize being a toxic right winger is bad for business. He gets tax payer funds from the Democrats, his customers definitely skew left of center. I always thought Tesla was insanely over valued, but with all his bullshit and the major car manufacturers giving them competition now Tesla is bound to collapse...
Xesla has shaved $40k of the MSRP of their top end models since January.
I wonder why that is?
You mean aside from them literally losing features over time, adding bullshit recurring payments for basic technologies, and promising for like a decade that every year was THE YEAR full auto pilot would come out? Well aside from that stuff, it's probably all that stuff the guy above said.
Hey, my distrust of autopilot lies in the competency of the surrounding Human drivers. They cray-cray. Not that I own a Tesla, mind. I don't, and won't.
But autopilot on these streets? Pass.
I trust a well-programmed computer with decent sensors more than an ad hoc chemical computer with mediocre and limited sensors hauled around in a meatbag. And when we have one of those, I will get it.
They do it to get under the new lower tax rebate limits for cars. Luxury cars are (rightly) getting less tax breaks than they used to. And Tesla is lowering prices to make sure their customers still get the rebates (which is still a huge reason anyone buys electric cars at this stage).
The irony is that Muskrat was railing against rebates and wanted them to be cancelled, but when sensible lowering of limits made his cars uncompetitive, he could magically lower the price to keep the competitive.
Yeah but in the era of supply side economics, selling bullshit to shareholders is what matters. The product is unimportant, what the shareholders think other shareholders think about the future of the product is what's important to a business now.
Shareholders skew right (some psychotically so when you consider the Saudis), and that's who Musk is selling bullshit to.
He did it to shore up support from manchildren since like 3 of his sex scandals hit the news in one week.
I wouldn't be opposed to a law change where if a company that takes subsidies breaks the law, the state can nationalize it at no cost. That would solve a lot of issues.
why only when they took subsidies?
Companies that violate laws repeatedly or in particularly grave cases should always bs subject to seizure, if the management and bodies representing the shareholders did not adress the issues as soon as they had to know about it.
For publicly traded companies it is a bit tricky, but if the sourxe of problems is a majority shareholder then they should just seize his stocks.
South Africa is where his families money is from and he can still have power there.
Guantanamo Bay is where he belongs
Send him to that big garbage island in the Pacific.
The UK?
When was UK in Pacific?
Nah, we don't want him either
Or extradite him to Ukraine.
