I will say though, I've been suspicious he's had long standing plans to just dump Tesla at some point in the near future anyway. I'm hopeful the point he was planning to jump ship and sell off his stock has gotten beyond his control and he can't do it without majorly fucking himself over.

Aside from everything else he's done to get deeply involved in the oil and gas industry, what made me really suspicious was when DOGE removed all EV charging stations from federal buildings for not being "mission critical."

You know what's horrific and evil? Cutting Medicaid and social security for millions of people because your billions of dollars isn't enough money to make up for the fact that you're a giant man baby.

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 156 points 4 days ago

He assumed his opponents would kill random people instead of targeting his property.

He probably can't even comprehend a worldview where people prefer to attack wealth over taking another human being's life.

[-] ajoebyanyothername@lemmy.world 70 points 4 days ago

That would require empathy, which he considers a weakness. So he probably is genuinely baffled by this.

I was looking for someone saying this. He was envisioning a bunch of us poors fighting each other when he called for civil war. He never thought it would be all of us against him.

It really does show that violence might be the only way to get through to these people. Not that I would ever advocate for such a thing directly myself of course of course. But if this is the only thing that gets their attention, it seems like he's inviting more of it.

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 days ago

I'm still not convinced that isn't just insurance fraud to try to recoup some money for junky cars no one wants while pretending he's a political victim.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Good luck getting that proven in a court

[-] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Does any of court even matter anymore when the president is in your back pocket?

I love that we have found a way to hurt him, keep it up.

If he thinks civil war is necessary but doesn’t think corporations will be casualties… then what does he define as civil war? Where less important things die? you know, those umm.. soft gelatinous things. People, yes people are expendable.

This soft and gelatinous thing looks forward to a place to expend his umm, anger and frustration.

Musk: "Civil War is Inevitable!"

People destroy his company's products.

genocide? cool and good. black bagging people for protected speech? yeah, pretty fucking cool. letting people die of preventable disease and disaster? yeah, what are you, gay?

but damaging a car? you're basically the worst thing a person can be.

The best thing about this is that Tesla is massively overvalued. Like, the stock price is more than 20x what it should be based on Tesla's earnings.

If Tesla had a reasonable value, then hedge fund managers and other rich people would probably be buying it while it was temporarily down and getting rich as it went back up. But, with it so insanely overvalued, it's much more likely they'll short it or buy put options and hope to get rich when it finally crashes.

[-] Yoga@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Relatively speaking, Tesla is far less overvalued than in the past.

At one point their market cap exceeded every other automaker in the world COMBINED.

That might make sense if they were making unprecedented loads of money but of course they got trounced in sales compared to Toyota then and now.

Personally i think the level of violence could be a little higher still... Or way higher! Burning megafactories levels of higher.

[-] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 43 points 3 days ago

It would make my year if he cried live in an interview where it dawns on him that he's the cause of his own demise. But he's not smart enough.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

He almost did actually. He was in an interview a little while ago where he was moments away from tears.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago

So what you're saying is step up the protest.

This is from the same guy who said Hitler didn't kill millions of people. He's being deliberately obtuse and he thinks everyone must be stupid.

How the hell do Elon and other oligarchs feel so safe to call for a literal civil war? He thinks the other side cares more about fighting Joe Bob more than the billionaires? Such strange delusional behavior

Does anyone else think the "happening in my town of (insert town name here)" is a bot account he set up to blow up small isolated incidents?

The funny thing is the first tweet was right, just wrong in his intention. I don't see this ending without a civil war.

We brought him a little taste of civil war. He's just mad he's on the losing side.

Your self-driving Teslas literally drove a woman to the sea where it acted as her watery coffin, this was also the sister-in-law of a major Senator of the party YOU support

Can't imagine what they'd do to people you actually don't like.

Horrific and evil? Get the fuck outta here.

He didn't mean for it to affect him, his share prices, or his job!

You know how they demolish bridges that have become unsafe to use?

Well... its the same with vehicles... 👀

Who knows how many lives these heroes have saved.
