MODERATORS
But the confusion is fleeting, as it always is, because they don’t have the brain power to process the cognitive dissonance.
So they just trail off and then start screaming at the wind? Lead poisoning is a bitch.
If the pattern follows, those young teen Millennials somehow are to blame even though there are Millennials in their 40s now.

Elon is looking into rolling coal exhaust on Teslas for his Nazi fan club
It’s just a trailer option for the cybertruck that’s basically a stationary 700hp engine idling without a muffler. It’s not generating power, just smoke.

There you go. It was all OK until it impacted $$. Glad they finally did something, but wish it would have been based on an actual ethical concern.
this is one of the few levers of power we have. remember that every nickel they have comes from us working and us buying.
Free market morality.
To be fair, I think one could argue with a straight face that if we're still buying the products, then we really don't care that much. Why should a company be motivated by morality if we as a society collectively aren't?
We should hold ourselves to the same standards or we're just hypocrites.

These people have money for blood, what makes you think their ethics are any different? I don't care what sets the face eating leopards off so long as they get to eating faces.

I'm waiting for Apple and Google to pull the X client from their app stores.
Then the fun really begins.
Not going to happen as all these companies work together. these companies are notorious to trick regulars into thinking they are helping the society.

Musk can a smoke fat dick. I am so sick of hearing about that cunt.
Can we just fully cancel his ass so we don't have to hear about him any more. I yearn for the day I no longer hear about Musk or Trump on a daily basis.
We let people get so fucking rich that everything they do is newsworthy because it actually impacts a ton of people.
The real problem is that we don't actually need rich people in the first place.
This story highlights why news about this is still important. The investors wouldn't be doing this if they thought a lot of people wouldn't hear about it and be disgusted.
I couldn't care less about whatever else he does, but when he does something awful, spread it as much as you can. We can see very clearly that not all news is good news for him. And one thing I do want to see is him discovering the consequences of his action, for once in his life.

"We are absolutely appalled at this behavior!" [Buys more stock in Tesla] "I mean really, this has gone too far!" [Collects dividends] "He needs to resign, this is disgusting!" [Watches stock price climb] "this antisemitism must stop or else!" [Buys more stock]
In the interest of pedantry; TSLA doesn’t declare dividends.

Musk going down in history as the person removed from leadership in the largest number of billion dollar companies ever.
Tesla Investors Call for Musk's Suspension
They'll quickly find themselves in the same position as the GOP with Trump. Where they want to replace him and cut their losses but the cult of personality is around that one person and nothing else. That's what happens when your audience is so cult-like and fanatical. Not that I feel bad for either the GOP or Tesla obviously, it's still their fault for cultivating these bastards and they don't deserve the slightest sympathy.

Shares of Tesla rose approximately 10% this week
Clickbait headlines. A few investors threw lip service but money talks and it seems most of them don't care too much.

Musk finally end that step too far. Dude forgot there’s a world out there beyond the weird right-wing bubble he’s created for himself on X.

I’m sure his response will be doubling down and turning away more investors. But if that goofy fucking truck being shit, delayed, and possibly a scam didn’t dissuade them…

Hurt him in the way that's most painful to narcissists: remove his ability to generate narcissistic supply. Kill Xcrement.
Suspend him from where?
From a ridiculously slow lowering mechanism above a tank full of sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads.
