Elon Musk is learning that a large segment of his potential customer base simply won't buy his cars regardless of features at any price.
Jeff Bezos is learning the same lesson about his newspaper. He has broken trust with his readers. That won't be fixed via reorganization.

I mean, I can’t pay them because I have no money, but that’s what I would do if I could.
Bezos may have decided to turn the WaPo into a media outlet to promote his personal interests losses be damned.

They couldn’t be more wrong.
But I doubt it.
'Expanding the base' means moving to the right.
I think the Washington Post was just a little hobby.
1. Hire anyone who works for FOX.
2. All staff members sign a loyalty pledge to Trump.
Bezos is gonna learn that America already has what he envisions as WAPO 2.0. It's called USA Today.
"Withdrawals of gold and deposits of a feather" is another good one about trust.
It's amazing how a few idiots unlaced decades of institutional labor within weeks.

Dump Tesla
Dump Amazon
Dump Meta
Dump Apple
Dump facebook
Dump paypal.
Make these rich assholes that could not care less about America suffer. WE MUST UNITE>
If the business you patronize does things that conflict with why you chose to be their customer, they are probably making money in some way that doesn't require you continuing to be a customer
What we give, we can take. And we are going to do that with NO mercy.
That "someday" is now when hell freezes over.
All this will do is further alienate the people who previously turned to the WaPo for accurate reporting.
It's time for Bezos to sell.
I now wish I hadn't taken it.
Stop digging already.

“To open the falcon wing doors when Model X has no power, carefully remove the speaker grille from the door and pull the mechanical release cable down and towards the front of the vehicle. After the latch is released, manually lift up the door.”

Expect to see a lot of WSJ-style, washed-down articles soon.
If what Bezos is attempting was possible, Tesla stock wouldn’t be in the gutter.
MARKETER: Sir, there are big revenue growth potentials in underserved markets.
BEZOS: Which markets are those?
MARKETER: Angry conspiracy theories, racism, and fascism.
BEZOS: Let's grow that revenue!
No more Bezos, Zuckerberg, or Musk products for me.
Bezos ruined it. I won't go back as long as he owns it.
They're going to try to appeal to Republicans instead

Cancelled my sub.
Apologies to those who work there.
I’d expect a mass exodus of the best journalists quite soon, much like the opinion section. I wish there were enough spots for them to land and make a living.
"We are not going back."
You killed your own paper, Bezos.
So target... that "my next car was definitely going to be a tesla"... but by the time i was in the market (jan 2024) he already revealed himself, so i got an ioniq
It seemed to destroy careers on both sides.
When you decide to publish lies, you may get the please-tell-me-lies audience, but you are no longer a newspaper.
I dumped the WaPo because of Jeff Bezos
I dumped MSNBC because of Joe Scarborough
Alternatives exist.
Maybe their cultic adoption of trumpian rule blinded them to Business 101 basics?
I think those days /era are over. Independent news is the new direction.
