Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Stock price has nothing to do with reality. Even when the stock price goes up or down coinciding with profits going up and down, it's just that -- a coincidence. Many times you'll see amazing earnings and the stock will drop because "it's priced in" (it's always priced in except when it's not) or "future outlook didn't look good" (unlike the amazing outlook of tesla which is promising robots and robotaxis and other vaporware).
Their Q1 earnings report comes out next month, so that'll be interesting at least. Don't expect market reactions to be logical. It may seem to go up or down appropriately, but the primary mover is not reality.
So even though the value is dropping, it could mean it’s much higher or lower?
Even if tesla's sales tank and their profits turn into heavy losses, they can still be valued more than all the other automotive companies. The excuse could be because "tesla is more than just an automotive company" but after a decade of not delivering on full self-driving like promised, you'd think investors would understand that musk is full of it.
