The issue I have with this article is that it describes him as a technocrat, while he didn’t develop Tesla or Twitter or anything else as far as I can tell. He bought them with inherited wealth. Bizarre futurist, is more like it.

What you’re not taking into considering is that Jim is a coward and an Elon Musk bootlicker.

He's a Nazi clearly, from his recent forays on X and at the inauguration. Surprised he's not rebranded it with a swastika.

It’s only January… give it time.

I'm confused Jim. Yesterday, you posted that Musk's Nazi salute wasn't a Nazi salute. Today you post that investors may conflate his "gesture" with white power. Do you think you may have got this one wrong? If so, will you be big enough to admit it?

Homestly don't understand who still buys Teslas. There are plenty of EVs now that are as good or better, and Trumpers are always going on about how gas is best

Let’s hope investors care

The thing is he needs affluent consumers and many of them despise him. My DH has wanted a Tesla forever. I asked him last night whether he wanted one and you know he couldn't say yes. Edgelord or hardcore fascist is irrelevant. That toxic piece of crap can pound sand b4 I buy one of his products.

He literally supports the AfD. As a political journalist I’m sure I don’t have to explain that to you.

justincampana.bsky.social•46 days ago

At least he’s got guys like you carrying his water for him.

So you’re saying it IS a Nazi salute? How are you still posting so confidently on this app, bro?

reetspetit.bsky.social•46 days ago

Think he's more invested in Starlink than Tesla.

(See cosying up to Meloni for Italian government contracts etc)

He has a bigger monopoly in that direction, and no doubt he now has more government 'sponsorship' too.

Even if this gesture isn’t clear cut, his association with AFD, Tommy Robinson, and other white supremacist groups are undeniable.

I wouldn't drive a Tesla if you gave it to me. It's a toxic brand.

The shares are hugely overvalued and it doesn’t take much of a drop in vehicle deliveries to send it down. Negative consumer sentiment is also more likely particularly in EU.

Investors may not have much in the way of morality but sales are currently struggling & the laughable cyber truck keeps on having 'problems'. The open fascism of Musk could be the final straw.
