    well well well

    it seems that the literal opposite of “go woke go broke” is what’s actually true.

    Funny how this shit keeps happening

      that whole movement is so funny to me, like they tried to move to a different beer after bud light did a harmless advertisement and their replacement WAS FROM THE SAME PARENT COMPANY

        I mean that’s just AB InBev working as intended. I walk into my local food lion and the only beers I know or suspect aren’t AB InBev are Yeungling or the five local microbreweries that only make IPAs.

      Who could’ve known that pandering exclusively to broke rednecks and Russian bot farms was a bad business idea?

        It’s a conundrum wrapped in a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in an eggroll served as a happy ending at a shady massage parlor totally opaque to the comprehension of all mortal minds except literally everyone with more than half a brain!! XD

        Actually it would still be lucrative as hell if Russia hadn’t started an invasion and gotten themselves sanctioned to hell. A bit harder to get those bribe payments out when no one takes your money any more!

        Nah, genius move. Here’s a few billion dollars bonus of our shrinking profits from the next decade or so, so you don’t lose motivation. - half brain dead Tesla board.

          The government should cut out their subsidy for Tesla EVs to the tune of the pay increase. Send a message to greedy CEOs to not steal government subsidies for themselves.

          Also send a message to the corrupt majority shareholders who voted yes to an absurd pay package. You can bet they get a private call before any major Tesla announcements to get ahead thanks to those votes.

          He’d lose all his performance bonuses from the sales cut and the shareholders would want him gone asap.

    Weird how when everyone realizes your leader is human trash, they don’t want your products either!

    It’s just really silly.

    Plenty of Toxic Right wingers with small Willy’s need their car to make loud noises so they can pretend to be alpha’s . They’re not the target market

    Left wing people are the primary market for EVs. But he has done everything he can to piss us off and even bolster the guy who is actively fighting EVs

    So, no idea who his target market is meant to be at this point. Why would anyone running a company promote a president who fights against their products 😂

    Tesla came off my list as well because of Musk. Apple will need to buy Tesla some day at fire sale prices.

    If he’s going to sell his Tesla shares to fund Xitter and his crusade to pull the world to the far right, that could be its best hope. If, say, Toyota or Ford or someone pick up Tesla, cherry-pick its best technology, add their own expertise in actually making reliable cars and keep the marque as their electric vehicle line. They can offload the Cybertruck to Hummer or some other toxic-masculinity-oriented brand.

      Send it to Hyundai or a Chinese brand, Ford can’t be trusted and Toyota are still obsessed with ICE.

      Hummer is owned by GM and at current is their only offering for an electric truck sadly.
