    I love how Trump thinks he’s symbolizing something by paying a small amount of money back to Musk after he collected that massive amount for his campaign. Dude, if you didn’t already buy his car, what the f*** message were you sending to him.

    Trump calls Tesla boycott ‘illegal’

    Is this the free market I keep hearing about?

    Gosh, and I thought it was illegal for a president to record a car commercial for the world’s richest man.

    Just like how it’s illegal to NOT advertise on X. All according to President Musk.

    If Obama advertised any company during any of his official duties there would be people foaming at the mouth to remove him and imprison him for corruption.

    But with Trump it’s just Tuesday.

      Presidents are not allowed to drive over the Secret Service rules. He can be in the car. Just not driving.

      Though given its safety issues I highly suspect that the Secret Service will not allow him in the car.

    Well Trump is known for stupid decisions, so buying a Tesla is yet another.

    Also, the stock really needs to fall much further. Bubble is still popping and there’s a long way to go to come back to anything remotely reasonable.

    Market cap is still (even with recent losses) bigger than GM plus Ford plus Disney plus Delta Airlines plus Northrop Grumman plus Nike plus Verizon plus CSX Rail.

    Price to earnings is 113. And that’s with dubious and outdated earnings information.

    Absolute insanity. Sell whatever you have now while you can.

    Bro. Dumbass said, “Tesla is so great, I will buy one (1)!” That shit is pennies to him, anybody want to guess how many times he will drive it?

    How about, to show his support, he makes a heavy investment in the stock. That would show how confident he is in Tesla.
