The people have spoken. And by “people,” I mean “Elon Musk.” Trump is now buying into the batshit crazy that is the current Musk/Cybertruck discourse. This, of course, leave…

Sell/short $TSLA while it’s still legal.
- Shorts are always risky especially and there's a chance that Trump mandates everyone buy a Tesla tomorrow or some bullahit but, and this is not financial advice, it seems like a crazy time to try and hold Tesla stock.
  
  Tesla is going under. It is leveraged way too much. Didn't Bezos give Krasvon big money this week? Desperate sales pitch AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Shit's going down.
  
  Any one who are reckless enough to take financial advice from fedi are already billionaires.
  
  More likely is Congress authorizing another TARP program for Tesla.
- It's back up the last 2 days. Looking likely to be back up tomorrow, too.
  Guess we'll see if sanity returns.
  
  It won't last, the brand is already irreparably damaged. He was stammering all over the place when Kudlow asked him how he is running his companies, and it was clear he had something big on his mind.
  I suspect he has either been informed that the Tesla board of directors is not happy about his poor behavior's impact on their company, and is pressuring him to change his behavior or step down as CEO, or he is being threatened with a shareholder lawsuit, or perhaps both.
  The bloom's off the rose with Tesla, and it is now on a slow, inexorable slide down. It will rally a bit now and then, but HitlerPig isn't going to give a weekly infomercial to prop it up. Every bit of bad news, every crash, every recall, every missed production date, every missed release date, etc., is going to be one more drag on the stock price.
  Most of Skum's fortune is tied to Tesla stock. If we keep pressure on Tesla, Skum will be forced to go back to work, or better yet, he'll have the humiliation of being fired because he put MAGA ahead of his legal responsibilities to his company and shareholders. If you have Tesla stock, sell it. If you are a market trader, short it. Everyone else should just keep spreading the word about how poorly they're designed, all their problems, etc. Call it the SwatiKKKar at every opportunity. Inform Tesla owners of their new public identity as Nazis, just for driving one. Encourage Tesla owners to sell, a rising used market will supress sales of new vehicles, and put Teslas into the hands of low-end MAGADorks and further damage the image of the average Tesla owner.
  Tesla's public image needs to be crushed until it is the best example of a bad EV, and Skum's fortune has depleted.

- 10/10. No notes.

Words have no meaning with these types…
- 2022 Republicans: We are domestic terrorists.
  2025 Republicans: You are domestic terrorists.

Well, good thing His Orangeness reopened Gitmo. How convenient with the upcoming influx of terrorists to disappear.
- Gitmo was closed? I thought they were only expanding what was already there and in use.
  
  It wasn't closed but it was left in a state that wouldn't allow it to detain tens of thousands of ~~illegal~~ immigrants and other ~~terrorist~~ dissenters without due process.

When cybertrucks are safer the kids in school. Welcome to MAGA World.

Not a car accident, it’s Terrorism.
