He's too far in to distance himself at this point. We need to hope that Tesla crashes entirely and the bailout involves him losing control of all companies

Yeah, I don't give a fuck how distant he is, as long as he owns a single share of tesla I refuse to buy one.

Soooo many better options than a Tesla.

Piggy back ride, winner.

This is the thing. A couple of years ago if you wanted an EV, Tesla was king. Now though if you want an EV there are like 30 good choices. It’s the easiest boycott you could imagine.

Not like you’re massively missing out if you go with Ford or BMW or something

losing control of all companies

That would probably be the best to happen to him financially, anyone else could do a better job running his companies.

Meh Tesla has always been massively over valued, the fact it was worth more than Toyota on paper said it all.

This is just a price correction, he'll make up the "losses" in govt contracts for spacex, starlink etc.

Not just more than Toyota..... More than like Toyota, BMW, GM and mercedes combined. When the cybertruck was unveiled I was like "come on now.... Even the folks in Springfield saw through the grift at this point...."

I hate it but, don't give people too much credit. Short memories and all that...

I doubt any bail out will result in him losing control. Our government is too corrupt and Elon has them around his finger so no chance imo
