Elon Musk

Great user names like Cindy0737396354

odd that he didnt understand that firing everyone would effect things like controlling spam, sure you can keep the core product running kind of ok but all the other stuff is going to massively suffer, and those things matter people dont want pussy in bio in their replies

what happened to his plan of charging all new users $1 to register?

xp He probably believed, and still believes, that the problem could be fixed easily by just writing the right magic code that will solve all the problems and Twitter employed all those humans because of woke or something. I’m surprised he isn’t babbling on now about how “AI” will fix everything.

He speaks like a midlevel manager who's picked up the latest buzzword round the conference table and starts using it every other sentence.

this giy is worth billions, this toilet gonna flush sooo long, or we can just say the serenity prayer for about 5 billion minutes

Another day, another cybertruck fail
"CT windshield did not withstand a freak sudden hailstorm in Austin, rest of vehicle seems fine. None of the other cars parked next to it had windshield damage but they had lots of dings in their body. Pretty disappointing, will let y’all know how much it costs to fix"

Truck seems to be entering the league of the Edsel and the Pinto in automotive legend

Wonder if flat shape and shallow angle makes it easier to break. Bad either way.

If that theory holds true, the good news would mean that it’s much more resistant to the more common occurrence of rock chips being kicked up from the road. Just bad for the small chance of things falling from the sky.

would be funny if this failed. unfortunately it probably won't

aww

“Because the Delaware Court second-guessed your decision, Elon has not been paid for any of his work for Tesla for the past six years that has helped to generate significant growth and stockholder value”

the cybertruck can withstand gunfire but not the car wash

$TSLA Cybertruck owners ..

1) do NOT wash your car in sunlight and

2) do NOT tell Tesla SCs that you drove it through a car wash (like this guy) even if you turned on Car Wash Mode. They will void your warranty. 💀 pic.twitter.com/eXpaxlm2X6

How is Tesla not getting class action sued into oblivion?

I guess more to follow…

yeah gotta think it coming

well, they are like school in summer tbh

What's a Tesla SC?

Service centre?

Ah, that makes sense. They also have Super Chargers, and I was pretty sure it wasn't that.

real $TSLA-heads pivoting to the LIVER KING lifestyle (never wash yr ass, never wash yr cybertruck)

lmao get em

Tesla should be renamed Douchewagon anyway, it would be more accurate.

Tesla’s stock tumbled below $150 per share, giving up all of the gains made over the past year as the electric vehicle maker reels from falling sales and steep discounts intended to lure more buyers.

Shares in the Elon Musk-owned company slid nearly 4% in intraday trading Thursday, in what what now stands as the third worst week for the stock in 2024, a year that has been dismal for Tesla investors. The Austin, Texas company’s shares are down 12.4% this week and more than 39% this year.

Shares of Tesla Inc. last traded for $150 in January 2023.

"don't wash your car in sunlight" is amazing

Does anyone know what types of damage might occur if I breathe on my Cybertruck wrong

amazing how Elon used to claim this thing could be used as a boat when it can't even survive the carwash

I wash my cy-ber-truck at night, so I can so I can

washing cybertruck at night, elon's delight
washing cybertruck in morning, owners take warning

lol

total recall

https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/19/tesla-cybertruck-throttle-accelerator-pedal-stuck/

Most ev makers do a lot of “recalls” but 90% of those are over the air software updates. This is different.

Makes sense, because those fuckin things look like one of the "Total Recall" Johnnycabs.

soap made the pedal fly off while youre driving

“an unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal,” and that “residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal.”

We used lubricant instead of glue to attach your accelerator. Oopsie!

cybertruck owners shafted by lube

at least they wont have to repair too many of them

Just popped over to check out a Tesla investors forum. Usually they are neutral at worst, because it's all about the $$$, but they seem pretty down on Musk. They'd prefer he be out at the company, and they for sure wish he was not posting all the time, which they believe (and they may be right) directly correlates with the poor operation of the company. Not just because people now conflate twitter/Tesla/Musk with right-wing trolling, but because Musk himself is so impulsive and unable to control himself. Personally, I say fuck 'em all, but I wonder if Musk left Tesla (which I don't see happening) and a "normal" CEO were brought on board, could the company turn things around again? Or would it, too, become so "normal" that it would keep fading?

it's funny seems like a lifetime ago but I remember when Tesla was seen as this vaguely liberal yet luxury eco friendly signifier

its funny/ironic cuz using soap on the install is probably exactly the kind of ‘hack’ that elon was probably pushing internally back when he was ‘sleeping at the factory’ to make more model 3s or w/e

That's how we can tell that either this is the real Musk, or he is mentally ill (or both), because he seemed to have a good thing going for him and fucked it all up, apparently intentionally. Bezos, I'm sure he's a huge twat, but he seems to have the sense to keep his mouth shut. Trump, he used to have this vague liberal veneer to him, too, and yeah, he's gone full heel as well, but he is old and was always a stupid asshole.

with Bezos its kind of a "don't hate the player hate the game" situation, he's doing the kind of shit you might expect from an obscenely wealthy person. meanwhile Elon spends all his time being a terrible reactionary shitposter like any number of Nazi losers, who are either getting paid for it or are teeangers. Elon is neither, in fact he's like actively losing billions of dollars doing this shit

Really cool that 'unapproved changes' are happening in the manufacturing process

theyre just taking a page from boeings playbook https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/us/politics/spirit-aerosystems-boeing-737-max.html

its funny elons blaming the soap when it really is a batshit design that should never have made it out of autocad or w/e hell auto engineers use to design cars

the sheer number and variety of problems and defects that have surfaced in cybertrucks so far based on this incredibly small sample size...i can't quite wrap my brain around it

i don't know that Tesla can fully recover, i think that specific design on the main fleet is pretty tiresome to a lot of people and at some point if you're driving a white tesla and you're at a stoplight with six other white teslas, it's a little embarrassing, and there are other better looking EVs out there now.

just out of curiosity i looked it up and Ford sold 750,789 F-150s in 2023

it's still a hot-shit vehicle to own to a certain degree but it doesn't feel like a long-term respectable brand, and i think the cybertruck is such an ugly failure it shows a company that doesn't have a clue.

Cybertruck seems destined to be the Pinto of this generation, known solely for people dunking on it. though it's way more expensive which makes it a lot more embarrassing
