Yesterday evening, Tesla reported first-quarter earnings for 2025, and they were abysmal: Profits dropped 71% from the same time last year.
Musk sounded bitter on the call with investors that followed, blaming the company’s misfortune on protesters who have raged at Tesla dealerships around the world over his role running DOGE and his ardent support of far-right politicians.
“The protests that you’ll see out there, they’re very organized. They’re paid for,” he said, without evidence.
No. When you do a double seig-heil on national television we protest for free.
The ones I’ve been to have been the least organized protests I’ve seen. There was no announcement on www.mobilize.us, people just showed up on Saturdays at 12. I couldn’t actually find any organizers, there weren’t anyone with mega phones or anything. I wanted to thank them, but it looks like it was largly just people having the same idea.
Fuck, I’ll pay to protest at this point. I’m livid at this assface.
Don’t give them any ideas.
Fuck that, take my ideas.
I’ll donate $50 to the legal defense of anyone who rids us of this turbulent billionaire, and I’m not the only one who would
I interpreted what you wrote as paying the government for the right to protest.
I wholly supported crowd funding the fixing of legislation and ending billionaires and preventing billionaire influence in our political, economic, social, and environmental systems.
This is an important part of protesting, if you don’t want to protest yourself you can always do things like this!
You have a typo in your Nazigruß. I’m not going to correct it because I don’t want to write out those dirty words.
Germans mostly call it Hitlergruß.
True. I’m German, but didn’t really find the word right then.
I was wondering about that, but I have the same problem I wasn’t willing to plug it into google to check the spelling.
Thanks for letting me know.
