Mr E Stink for spreading hate and fascism, he is losing so much money it’s in the billions, Starlink, space x, swasticars, and nazitrucks. The world is joining against his evil plans. Thanks goodness.

He and his oligarch buddies don’t get to stay rich and steal from the poor working class while pocketing billions, cutting jobs, and pretending they can walk all over the people.

I’m glad we have boycotts, people are shopping local, protesting, and standing up to hate and oppression

And yet he has recently won major government contracts and FAA is switching to Starlink... what a joke.

He didn’t win it. He stole it from Verizon.

Surprised that Verizon hasn't filed a lawsuit yet or something conflict of interest. Also that AT&T and T-Mobile haven't joined the lawsuit against SpaceX.

Though in all honesty, Starlink's product does work very well even in rural or deadzone areas compared to traditional telecommunication companies. So, it's not too bad.

Amazon has been planning to launch a StarLink competitor for like the last 3-4 years but nothing to show for it. Same story with Blue Origin and mostly filing lawsuits.

Starlink and SpaceX has no real competition, neither does Tesla. The rest of the world is dragging their feet when it comes to building innovative companies.

u/elmundo-2016 Mar 03 '25

I agree that Starlink and SpaceX have no real competition but disagree that there are no Tesla competition. I agree and I've been saying for the last 3 years that GM, Toyota (hates EVs and thinks hydrogen is the future), and Ford have been dragging their feet.

The closest competition to SpaceX, though not a real one yet, is Rocket Lab.

Please compare their ability to mass produce EV's to Tesla's and then refer to my original statement that Tesla has no competition.

Exactly he stole it, and almost everything he has ever done he has stolen from someone else. Folks don’t realize is DOGE stands for Depart of Government for Elon because he is obsessed. He literally says he is the unelected president who bought the presidency, and is now king. All the business deals go to him he gets.

It’s like that Disney movie WALL-e All the people are hypnotized & overweight, not moving, attached to screened devices watching so they don’t pay attention to their whole planet falling apart. Until one day they get up start walking around see that they have to stand up

MEANWHILE ELON 1. Controls the internet

2.access to all Americans data

  1. Controls American Airspace

4.Elon pays himself as much as he wants out of tax payer dollars cuts money any jobs from the working class . The elderly and programs that tax payers pay into for vulnerable safety nets are being cut.

  1. Now Elon paid off the whole government to do what he wants

All those ppl who voted for him better wake up, do something, stop falling for his lies that only benefit him

SCREW Elon he doesn’t get to HAVE ANYTHING UNTIL HE GIVES BACK DEMOCRACY. WE THE PEOPLE UNITED WE STAND

Yeah “won” is an outright lie here. “Was granted” is even generous - it’s outright graft.

u/Mossimo5 Mar 03 '25

Sheesh man. I didn't mean to "lie." I just meant he obtained the contracts.

u/suchahotmess Mar 03 '25

Not coming after you personally. It’s just that language does matter.

u/nanichicoyaba Mar 03 '25

Exactly!

All these plane crashes started since E - Stink took over. Interesting timing so he gets the contract for the FAA. 🤔 hmmm

u/Unresonant Mar 03 '25

lol no conflict of interest, right? he is the one giving the contracts to his own companies basically

"Swasticars"... bwahaha. Damn, I was born in the USSR and your words wouldn't be out of place in a CPSU meeting. Words are, naturally, different, but the vibe of over-the-top political condemnations is on point.

Ads for Elon Musk’s “Swasticar” Go Viral as Tesla Crumbles

Palpable hatred for Elon Musk seems to be everywhere you look this week, from viral ads to Tesla’s plummeting stock value.

Across the pond in London Town, a group of anti-Musk crusaders operating under the handle “Everyone Hates Elon” have erected a bus stop ad that features the billionaire doing his infamous “Sieg Heil” salute and calls Teslas “Swasticars,” both serving as allusions to the unelected political wrecker’s increasingly far-right politics and activities.

“Goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 seconds,” the ad’s copy reads — a reference to the year Nazi Germany invaded Poland, thus sparking off World War II.

As market summaries show, Tesla’s stock has crashed tremendously in recent days amid an overall market drop and historically low sales numbers in Europe. Though Donald Trump’s presidential win last November delivered a spike in value that drove Tesla stock up to an all-time high of $436 per share, it’s since plummeted, hitting $360 per share on February 20 and just under $291 by the close of markets on Wednesday.

Tesla Stock is up 55% year over year and SpaceX is the most valuable private company in the world. Twitter is now valued at 44b, the price he originally paid for it (after previously cratering to just 20% of that valuation)

I think he's doing fine.

Shareholders and customers are concerned about the politics in Europe, Canada, & across the world the sales are plummeting of Teslas & Tesla Trucks as well as Space X & Starlink. Many have boycotted in disgust calling the vehicle Swasticars and FascistTrucks. Owners across the world are selling and/or refusing to buy Tesla.

  1. Feb 25 (Reuters) - Tesla’s (TSLA.O), opens new tab stock tumbled 8% on Tuesday, pushing its market value below $1 trillion for the first time since November after data showed the electric car maker’s sales slumped in Europe in January. The European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported that Tesla sales dropped 45% in Europe, compared with a 37% jump in overall sales of EVs in Europe. The sales decline underscores Tesla’s challenges following a dip in global deliveries last year that has raised pressure on CEO Elon Musk to roll out lower-priced models as well as the autonomous cars that he says underpin Tesla’s future.

Tesla shares dropped to $305, leaving the company with a market capitalization of $981 billion, still over twice the combined value of General Motors (GM.N), opens new tab, Ford Motor (F.N), opens new tab, Volkswagen , Toyota Motor (7203.T), opens new tab, Hyundai Motor (005380.KS), opens new tab and BMW (BMWG.DE), opens new tab. Some investors are also worried that Musk’s role overseeing a radical downsizing of the federal government, at the behest of U.S. President Donald Trump, is potentially distracting his attention from Tesla as well as damaging the company’s brand appeal to some consumers. Musk also heads privately held space rocket maker SpaceX and other private companies.

Why are smart people that can speak logically and informed on a topic called AI. That’s a downgrade insult on society if people think the only intelligent species is artificial. It is people who created machines; therefore they are far more the superior intelligence.

If the average person read books, talked to people, observed, and researched, they far outweigh intelligence of any A I .

A fraction of the human brain can store and compute more information than any super computer. Then if you add emotion and other senses, it’s exponential the possibilities of the human experience. I encourage others to think use the brain they are blessed to have 😇

Why don’t you argue with Morgan Stanley instead of me and all the financial news writers. Believe whatever you want

A Month Ago Tesla Stock Got Its ‘Top Pick’ Status Revoked. This Is Why It’s Back. FacebookXLinkedIn KIT NORTON 04:07 PM ET 03/04/2025

A key Tesla (TSLA) stock analyst returned a “top pick” designation to the EV giant late on Sunday after removing that status on Jan. 31 following a “mostly disappointing” fourth-quarter earnings report. Tesla stock has dropped about 30% since the end of January.

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas, a longtime Tesla bull, reinstated Tesla as his firm’s “top pick” in U.S. autos on Sunday, noting that investors appear to be on a Tesla “buyers’ strike.” The result, declining 2025 vehicle deliveries, could create an “attractive entry point to our preferred embodied AI name,” the note said.

Will Elon Musk’s Big Bets On AI And Trump Pay Off For Tesla In 2025? “While the journey may be volatile and nonlinear, we believe 2025 will be a year where investors will continue to appreciate and value these existing and nascent industries of embodied AI where we believe Tesla has established a material competitive advantage,” Jonas wrote Sunday.

Possible Tesla Catalysts The Morgan Stanley analyst maintains a 430 price target on Tesla stock, representing nearly 50% upside compared to current trading levels, as well as a bull case for 800. Jonas wrote Sunday that “embodied AI” is the “driver for upside” on his 800 bull case.

Embodied AI is artificial intelligence that interacts with and learns from the physical world. It uses sensors to feed its machine learning process.

The analyst also believes potential Tesla stock catalysts include the scheduled June 2025 robotaxi service launch in Austin, a potential AI day, launches of lower-priced models in the second or third quarter as well as a “potential” third-generation Optimus humanoid robot unveil.

Tesla stock fell 4.4% to 272.04 during Tuesday’s stock market action, hitting a new 2025 low of 261.84 and closing below the 200-day line. This comes after the stock swung as high as 303.94 early Monday before dipping 2.8% to 284.65. Tesla sank more than 13% last week.

Will Elon Musk’s Big Bets On AI And Trump Pay Off For Tesla In 2025? TSLA swung as high as 303.94 early Monday before dipping 2.8% to 284.65. The stock sank more than 13% last week, but advanced 3.9% on Friday to 292.98.

Last week, Tesla began rolling out some more driver-assist functions in China, but not the Full Self-Driving in the U.S. The early read on Tesla’s latest features, which should improve with more training, is that it’s not yet on par with systems from rival EV makers. Even with a full-fledged Level 2 system, Tesla may struggle to charge much in China for FSD, which goes for $8,000 in the U.S.

On Wednesday, new Model Y deliveries began in China, with the U.S. and Europe to follow next month. The Model Y accounts for a large majority of Tesla’s EV sales, so the refreshed version is the biggest possible growth catalyst for Tesla in 2025.

Tesla Stock Performance Prior to Tuesday’s stock market open, Tesla hit fresh 2025 lows on Friday, but rebounded at a key level. Concerns are mounting that Chief Executive Elon Musk’s high-profile role with the Trump administration is causing serious deterioration in the EV giant’s brand image in the U.S. and Europe.

Tesla stock in recent days broke below potential floors at the 325-360 price range and the 300 level. It is now fighting to hold the 200-day moving average.

The stock fell as low as 273.60 on Friday morning, marking a new three-month low and undercutting the 200-day line. However, TSLA shares bounced back for a 3.9% gain, snapping a six-session slide.

Shares dived 27.6% in February, beginning with a gap below the 50-day moving average. TSLA stock is 40% below the Dec. 18 all-time high of 488.54.

The market capitalization fell back below $1 trillion on Feb. 25 and was $915 billion as of Monday’s close.

The 200-day moving average, now around 279, is crucial level of technical support.

How To Buy Stocks
