Looks like the market is saying the new car smell and his rocket bilge wash has lost it's cachet.

"Shares of Tesla tumbled nearly 10% Thursday following its disappointing earnings report on Wednesday evening, as it reported that its profit margins fell below the 20% mark that analysts had been forecasting. The price cuts might have allowed it to increase sales volume, but revenue was down from fourth-quarter levels as a result, and which led to the squeeze on profits."

Elon dudebro has no business in the retail market. Whether it's cars or emeralds.

There is a stampede (except Toyota) into making of electric cars. TESLA's big profit margin could not continue. Anyone but Cathie Wood could see that.

Elon Musk sells Tucker Carlson his conservative vision of progress.

From the POLITICO article:
Musk is no reactionary, and progress is not the exclusive domain of the left. The man has a very distinct set of social and cultural beliefs that he seeks to propagate through his various technological and business endeavors. When the beliefs in question were, for example, the importance of clean energy, Musk was a hero to progressives. Now that it's the social-media equivalent of a Hobbesian state of nature, or a pro-natalist attitude that many on the left view as retrograde or eugenicist, he is a villain.

That's what happens when you become an outspoken fascist.

Just looked at your nazi charge. It seems that there is something there lurking under free speech.

Anyhow I do not think the US government is going to be that particular, that holy.

Check "Operation Paperclip".

Mr Hyperloop is a dreamer whom the military industry dearly cherishes.
