He knows that him downloading it doesn't remove it, right?Not looking too good there, Musk.
SpaceX is running the best out of musk involved companies. Probably because he spends the least amount of time there and thus less of a chance he has to fuck things up.
I think Tesla is in trouble long term unless they get a better CEO and it will still be tough
Nothing is showing up in my feed atm…glitches seem to be getting worse.
Why is Tesla in trouble long-term? Tesla last year made more money than either Ford or GM.

Short term is, “The board doesn’t fire me over the next quarterly report.” Long term is, “until I can exercise my stock options.”I don't think you understand what the words long-term actually mean

Another Trump play in action, they’ve successfully gaslighted themselves into oblivion.Musk and Ben Shapiro are apparently deeply concerned that one day an AI might have to say the N-word in order to stop a nuclear war and the "wokes" won’t let them do it.

I'm wondering if there was a bomb and it could only be defused by teaching critical race theory, what would Shapiro do then? Or suck an ape’s dick to prevent a nuclear apocalypse!. These no-talent grifters love making shit up to get all mad about. Such transparent hacks.
How are you defining long-term?
In the context of your post - as in not last years or this years numbers.
Tesla's brand has been tarnished by Musk, especially to his core market, and he is not getting better. Tesla is slashing prices, thus their profit per car will go down, competitors are starting to appear and EV buyers are starting to get real options, and that's only going to increase, while Tesla has extreme difficulty bringing new products to market. Self-driving by Tesla has been shown to be a sham.
I think a new CEO can really help them out, but in this direction with Musk, chances of success diminish.
I don't think that article is very informative as Tesla is a luxury brand, unlike Ford or GM. It would be better to compare their profit margins to Mercedes, BMW, things like that.Yes, Tesla is slashing prices however Tesla can afford to slash prices on it's cars because of it's already high margin. You might find the article below interesting about Tesla's much higher margin than other manufacturers.

As far as Tesla's brand being tarnished, this hasn't resulted in lower sales for Tesla. Despite Musk's antics, Tesla increased US sales by 75% in 2022 from 2021 despite the increased competition in 2022 from other EV options. I would have thought Q3 and Q4 sales would have been impacted as more negatives came out for this Twitter purchase. So far these claims about Musk hurting Tesla's brand I haven't seen reflected in any hard financial numbers. Can you reference any hard financial numbers in Tesla's financials showing the impact of Musk tarnishing Tesla's brand? I am interested to see how sales go in Q1-2023 to see if Musk's antics have had a impact.

Absolutely.Tesla can afford to slash it's prices to compete against vehicles like the ID4 and Mach-E. Can Ford and VW afford it?
Absolutely.
Every electric vechile Ford sells is a carbon credit Ford does not need to buy from Tesla for its gas guzzlers.
Also, the Ford lightning is the new hotness for electric vehicles. Telsa does not have anything coming any time soon that will even attempt to compete.
Hyundai is producing a nice car. The American automakers are coming in, Toyota and Honda are next.
A quick google says that Ford makes $10k-$15k on the regular F150 and I suspect profit margins will be higher for the lightning, as Ford’s stated goal is to give them premium pricing.What do think is the margin on a VW ID4 or a Mach-E? Or the margin on the Ford Lightning?
The problem is all these guys are not producing enough volume of these "nice cars". When are we actually going to see volume production of these "nice cars"?
