Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Yet the Tesla brand has also become uniquely toxic since Musk swept into Washington, gave what was widely recognized as a Nazi salute at an inauguration event
Good to see the mainstream media finally (sort of) calling this what it was instead of tiptoeing around it
Given how litigious Musk is, I think that's as good as we'll get.
Doubt it to prove libel or slander he would have to somehow prove it wasn't a Nazi salute and it was specifically to hurt his reputation and not simply you know.... News.
Only to get views. Tomorrow they’ll be bending a knee again.
out of curiosity, can you explain what physical stance has only one knee bent? Like, a lunge..? Genuinely new to this expression.
"Bending the knee" means kneeling before (usually) royalty. It's a physical representation that the person standing deserves respect and therefore the person has lowered themselves to the ground on one knee.
I'm amazed the stock is still as high as it is. Anyone buying a Tesla right now is making an unpopular statement in most the world.
ive seen an increasing amount cyberdumpsters in my blue area since last year, one regularly picks up the gf in my neighborhood. the people buying it is mostly ignorant of musks tantrum and his bigotry.
Cool. I cant wait for Tesla shareholders to file a class-action lawsuit for recklessly and negligently tanking the share price. Their portfolios have taken a significant hit, and it's directly attributable to his poor public behavior, as well as partnering up with the loudest anti-EV voice on the planet. They have easily demonstrable damages, and it would be an easy case to win. I'll bet there are numerous lawyers lining up their cases right now.
AND, its just a matter of time before the Tesla board fires him as CEO. He can wreck the government and Tesla, or he can run Tesla, but he cant do both.
Good 👍

not needed, they have concepts of a plan
Mark my word: Elon will regressed intellectually during the next ten years, to the point his brain will be like the one of a child.
ketamine is one hell of a drug
So, how exactly is that different than what it currently is?
You need to be more specific than "a child" considering he mentally already seems to be at the intellectual capacity of a 15-16 year old (except without any of the capacity to learn).
Some kind of ketamine induced dementia?
alcohol and cocaine,.
his eyes do look reptilian
after stringing out on ketamine and booze. wonder if he uses a vasoconstrictor on his eyes
To calm himself from the meltdown, I suggest he ups his dose of ketamine and then pisses blood.
Alternatively, self-immolation is always an option, and ethically correct in his situation.
hes more booze than blood at this point.
Wow, the president is really scared, he even had to call trump for a photo op in front of a Tesla
Y'know, if this gets conservatives to actually start being interested in EVs maybe that's not as bad of a result as it could've been

Sounds like he didn't work hard enough.
120 hours isn't enough, he needs to put in more hours.
Maybe he should eat less avocado toast.
Trump just f***ed Tesla. It had some coolness left in the brand but Truml just removed that on the White House lawn.
Teslas have been the official MAGAmobile for a while now. The brand has been tainted for at least the last 6 months. Its just reaching a critical point where the stock is finally starting to crash. It will eventually end up around $20, which is where it belongs.
Man. Poor guy. Really gotta feel for the nazi billionaires trying to destroy the world when their feefees get hurt. Chin up, champ!
Today so many good news
He lost $23 billion from Tesla and $23 billion from tweeting about Carlos Slim
Aw, hes down to only $400 billion. However will he survive?
Has anyone told him about the pulling of bootstraps? I feel that if he really, realllly pulled then he could make that 46 bill back by the end of the week!
Schadenfreude intensifies
