Summary
Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.
Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.
Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.
Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
The amount of raw, undiluted satisfaction that would come from watching Musk’s fortune disappear would probably be enough to tide me over for the rest of the Trump presidency. I could be sent to a concentration camp slaving away somewhere manufacturing MAGA merch, and I’d still have a smile on my face knowing Elon went broke.
God damn is he stupid. TF did he think was gonna happen when he pissed off the kind of people that buy EV’s
Nothing. He’s not used to consequences.
He thought he was smarter and that it would be over in a week. He thought no one would keep listening to the bad and they are the type of leaders that only listen to themselves within their own echo chamber.
musk melts down
ah, I was hoping it was literal. maybe one day, fingers crossed.
Hopefully in one of his own shoddy shitboxes.
Melt down? Better pour 5 thousand tons of boron and sand on him.
In this economy?! The best we can do is a 55 gallon drum filled with Coca-Cola.
All I have is a couple dozen gallons of gasoline. But it’ll do more good on him than in my truck.
Just need 5 tons
He’s such a loser that his tears bring straight joy!
Lol he’s so panicked he’s had to order Trump to send a tweet to try to convince right wingers to buy EVs now.
LOL! Remember when conservatives were blocking Tesla chargers with their lifted trucks? The vast majority of conservatives who can afford EVs don’t want them anyway because it doesn’t make “vroom, vroom” sounds.
How do you illegally boycott something? I know he’s a fucking moron but this is one of the stupidest things he’s ever said
In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means. So I guess if one was to “boycott israel” while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.
That feels like the government placing limits on the rights of corporations to express political views, which SCOTUS has stated is illegal (if you define speech as campaign contributions, which it does).
Not just corporations, but also individuals with a government contract and may also apply to government/school district employees

Like, what in the actual fuck. How is it illegal to boycott Tesla? But it wasn’t illegal when all the rednecks wanted to boycott bud-light for having a pro gay add? This clown is a fucking joke.
So we can add “illegal” to the list of words Trump uses but doesn’t know the meaning of.
In the victim of a hate crime!
That’s not what a hate crime is.
Well I hated it!
I’d argue that already was the case a few cort cases ago.
I would love an explanation of how the boycott against Tesla is illegal.
“L’état, c’est moi,” so anything he doesn’t like is illegal.
Especially considering the Anheiser Busch (or however it’s spelled) boycot over someone else’s gender identity.
The ones yelling “Snowflake!!11” for a decade turned out to be crybabies. Who woulda thunk.
Right? What’s he gonna do? Force us to buy Teslas with no money?
They make great fireplaces.
Man who doesn’t drive buys fascist car to show solidarity with worlds richest man.
Is this real ? this sounds like actual schoolyard banter
It sounds way too coherent. It’s actually a decently-written blurb and has too little ALL CAPS. I think they messed up the AI that writes his tweets.
Unfortunately yes, our president is a moron.
He’s going to go a buy a Tesla tomorrow? I’m pretty sure he didn’t even keep the wrapped cybertruck that was gifted to him by those manosphere podcasters a while back.
Does trump even know how to drive? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him driving anything except a golf cart.
He definitely doesn’t drive his own golf carts
Too bad must people are too poor to afford one! It’s much easier to NOT buy something in protest than to have to actually purchase something.
Holy shit I would laugh so hard if all these right-wing chucklefucks over-leveraged themselves on a Tesla, couldn’t pay the monthly payments, the car got repo’ed and they lost their home in the process.
So, I wonder if he’s really going to get one…he should like the new nickname they have.
That’s the thing alot of them genuinely hate them. I don’t know if even Trump can get right wingers to start liking them?
I fucking hate that man.
Far too vague for this timeline. More specificity, please.
JFC I’d actually appreciate the maga version of the Democrats.
These fictional Democrats are organized, well funded, cohesive and seem to have a great long term strategy for ruining republicans. With an organization like that you’d think that they would be in control of the government?
Remember the democrats that have futuristic weather machines? The MAGA Democrats have more powers than the whole MCU.
Elon: Does a Nazi salute then proceeds to do Nazi stuff within the confines of the U.S. government.
Also Elon: Why is everyone picking on me?
If he had just never started posting, he’d have such a better life.
He got terminal j k rowling disease 😔
Drugs are a powerful drug
finally feel emotions after coming down on drugs.
I mean, it’s just really hard to understand why all these billionaires have decided to become so politically active. 1.) they have more than enough money for 10 more generations at least. 2.) if there is a serious tax hike or other threat to their wealth they can always quietly buy off some key politicians. 3.) if you stick your neck out like Musk (and some other billionaire cabinet members do) you run the chance that people will want to cut it off. If I were a billionaire I would make it my lives mission to ensure that the general public does not know my name.
That’s a great point. Life a life full of pleasures and have people hardly think of you.
Wealthiest man in the world got his mind fried by social media like a dumbass pre-teen.
And ketamine. Don’t forget about the ketamine.
this is when hes posting while not on ketamine, or cocaine.
“Nazi Cries”
“Sieg creil”
“Tears are a waste of good suffering”
And suddenly racist Felon wasn’t racist anymore! Elon! The racist felon!..well not anymore.
Herr’s the full song by FOC: https://youtu.be/X-jVAHAuiS4 just replace dragon with Elon.
“anything I don’t like is a Democrat.”
“There’s an investigation under way to find those responsible for my lost profits!”
$20 he’ll demand arrest warrets or deportation of anyone not thinking about buying a tesla
cant investigate, when you already emptied most of the departments of investigations.
Lol can he sue people for not wanting his bad Swasticars?
He’s doing a lot of things that shouldn’t be legal.
Why does he keep bringing up Epstein? Trump was best friends with the dude
Projection.
Let me know when the meltdown reaches the point that we seal him in concrete and bury the container in a cave in the deep desert for the next thousand years.
Fun fact: The Nuclear Energy Commission has several ideas on what to do with nuclear waste. Well before The Elder Scrolls: Arena came out, they floated an idea to bury the waste in remote locales, but they couldn’t figure out how to mark it in such a way that would transcend language, since the waste will still be deadly several hundred times longer than any human civilization has managed to last. One of the many ideas they came up with was to cover the sites with what appear to be Daedric Ruins from Morrowind. AFAIA none were ever built, sadly.
Make America Build Daedric Ruins!
Also they were considering engineering cats whose colors change when exposed to rads
A good use for hostile architecture, unlike spiked steps that stop people from sitting on them.
Make them challenger deep to really drive home that Lovecraft feel and keep away those pesky freedivers.
“My actions are directly linked to tanking my company, so I’ve decided to double down on being a nazi.”
Prime example of how the rich are in their positions because of sheer genius and literally nothing else.
He also circulated a video taken by a customer in their new Cybertruck, writing, “Heartfelt thanks to everyone supporting @Tesla, despite many attacks against our stores and offices.”
that’s the meltdown.
It’s RollingStone, btw, whom Yahoo is reposting. This is the Nü “May be collapsing” headline the corporate news sewers need to push. They’re desperate for someone or something to go down so they can claim victory.
Musk is going to walk away with billions stolen from taxpayers, and he’s not ‘melting down’ for shit, he just Xitted something before dosing himself and it sounds vaguely like something a regular person might have said so they jumped on it.
Did you read the whole thing? He also accused wealthy liberals of financing Tesla protests including two that are dead, one for about 5 years. When one of those people told him he was full of it, he replied with:
Musk replied, “Describe your favorite island vacation,” baselessly implying that Hoffman had visited the Caribbean private island of the late sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
I don’t know if I would all this a melt down, but it’s not that far short of it.
Btw, Musk should be cautious with this kind of accusation these days considering that his buddy Donnie was a very good friend of Epstein.
“Describe your favorite island vacation,”
You know that island they exiled Napoleon to? Is it still suitable to leave a certain billionaire there for an indefinite amount of time, or is it a major tourist destination now? Asking for a friend.
There seem to be about 5000 people living there now… I wouldn’t want that for them. But I’m sure there’s a nice, sparse, unpopulated island without utilities and internet access in the Hawaiian archipelago for Mr. Musk to spend the rest of his life on. Lisianski Island for example looks great!
Edit: Or Sentinel Island, the indigenous would be really happy to see him :)
Maybe he should do more Nazi salutes.
