Comment on Tesla: 2024 was bad, 2025 was worse as profit falls 46 percent

  So someone who owns a Tesla supports him automatically?

  I mean if we are painting with this brush, are you also going after people who own Fords and GMs? Because they are kissing the ring pretty hard too…

    Meh, one must pick their battles. The Tesla’s CEO fully backed and funded a nazi then openly hail Hitler on stage and ripped off millions of Americans all under an anti immigration administration while bring an illegal immigrant. So, yeah - that’s a company I’d immediately cease to support if I didn’t support any of those actions. Sure, the other companies suck too.

      Ok so, as someone who lives in a different country, should immediately incur what would probably be about a $30k loss because of this? Because of Internet outrage, for a purchase I made, during a time that it looked like Donald Trump was maybe going to jail, and when the CEO of a car company was at that point making public claims that Trump confused him and he didn’t like him?

      I mean yeah since, the guys a donkey. I’m not buying another one. They haven’t seen a cent from me since all this went down.

      But I’m also not incurring a loss like this, because of the trash United States. The US has been full of enslaving white trash since like what, 1776? What’s really changed here?

        By the time the Cybertruck came out we knew what Elon was. This is not about all Teslas on the road. The article is, but the comment was specifically about Cybertrucks
