I wish I was as good a businessman as these two.
The only money Trump ever made was by pretending he was rich from a TV show he literally copied from Alan Sugar. Before that he bankrupted everything he touched, how the fuck can you actually bankrupt both a casino and a mortgage company, I probably couldn't do that on purpose if I wanted to 🤦♂️
Wild how international finance is now tied to a feud between a rodeo clown and an adult gundam nerd. I thought the subprime mortgage crisis was stupid but this has to break some record. I've accepted that the world will get progressively dumber in my lifetime but at this point I can't imagine how.
This is funny, but its a bit disappointing that almost no one is talking about how Musk was trying to get his friend appointed head of NASA, thereby assuring long term government contracts with Space X.
Corruption fucking everywhere.
Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill AND Musk’s publicly traded stocks tanking? In one week?
Someday we'll be able to get gif tattoos and I'm getting this one.
If you got fat enough you could make get the fat rolls tattooed like it's a flip book.
Or just get all of the key frames tattooed around your waist and then twirl around.
I wouldn't be sure about the Big Billionaire Bill (that's more apt name) I'm sure Republicans will fold and pass it at 4am with some modifications
This is like the dozen'th article of Elon getting his wealth "wiped out"
Looking forward to see this exact article again next week. This is noise, not news.
Yeah these news are so useless. Just look at the chart: it wiped out 152bn which he just gained a few weeks before.
My opinion is that all of these public fights are just theater distracting from passing things behind our back. In a few days they will suddenly make up after they pass whatever they want.
I am so fucking tired of the political bullshit.
I think they're not theater, But I think they are definitely being used as as well to do some shit behind our backs.
Sure mush will use the drop in worth to buy more Tesla at a discount, but posting Epstein videos/pictures/links about Taco.... That's not playing around.
obfuscation of the BBB, TARIFFS, DOGE cuts. musk doesnt have access to epstein files, hes basically just rehashing whats been reported in the media already.
Oh yeah baby give me more of that sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
As much as I love to see musk eating shit; I am also bracing myself expecting democrats to embrace him as an "Ally." American politicians just love it when the most evil corporate monsters are on their side.
And we'll find out in a few decades that politicians from both sides bought tons of stock futures to short the stock hours before this happened.
The black eye was signal enough to short that only a moron couldn't see this as the start of the breakdown. We've been waiting for this to come to a head since the campaign trail. No one is supposed it is happening. Most are surprised it took this long.
They've been waiting for this moment since he delivered his nazi salute.
well its specifically two democrats, Ro Khanna and Ritchie Torres https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-begin-embrace-musk-amid-trump-spat-after-party-railed-against-him-dictator. Khanna is incidentally the house representative for Silicon Valleys district, and Torres is of course a Zionist stooge
It was lower in April and March. The stock had been oscillating wildly between $375 and $225 all year and has no relation to any of the actual finances of the company. Considering that the budget bill under consideration could remove the clean energy credits that keep the company in the black, the stock should be much lower.
actual finances of the company
never has, never will.
Maybe someday. 🤞🏾And then Phoney Stark won’t have to worry about whether we’re taxing billionaires enough 🙏🏾
It's not just that, they need Chinese rare earth minerals...
Like, Musk just spent 15 billion on a factory for batteries that he now can't afford the raw materials for.
Wow. So he was just too geeked out on K to complain about all the tariff drama the last few months? I thought Xi said they may just straight up stop selling some of that stuff to us? Not sure if it was rare earth minerals or some other rare substance that’s needed for military applications. Elon and Trump are some real fucking geniuses. 🙄
Yeah, it's all the same shit.
But especially for EV batteries, the tarrifs make the raw materials so expensive a lot of companies are looking to offshore their manufacturing because if they're made somewhere else, only Americans pay the tarrifs on completed vehicles.
If the raw materials face a 150% tarrif, then even if theyre sold in Canada or Mexico, the tarrifs drive up prices and lowers sales.
Well, I called it. People thought Tesla stocks will still recover but so long as he is the CEO, the stocks will only go down.
Line go down!? surprised Pikachu face
And they will make up in a few days. Trump will give his fuck boy a few extra government contracts. All of musks stocks will soar. Unless someone actually starts doing something other than post on whatever social media. This is nothing more than market manipulation.
It's still up more than 20% above what it spent most of March and April at.
I want to find one of these people who just bought TSLA at $284 and ask them what possible basis do they have for thinking the company's earnings will grow by the 6,000% that it needs to in order to start returning anything like the industry average.
Tesla could achieve phenomenal unexpected growth and increase their market share by a factor of ten and they'd still have a massively unsustainable PE ratio.
It's a shitcoin fueled by hype. TSLA might as well be on Solana for all the legitimacy the company has.

It's all computer
I love tesler
What's hilarious is Tesla was propped up by maga buying it cuz Trump said to. And maga probably won't be able to win primaries let alone generals without musks money.
Like wasn't it just a month ago the BBB passed the House by a single vote after Musk had to threaten to back primary challengera against Republicans that voted against it?
Ah, that tasty delicious schadenfreude!!
The best part is, in this battle of "wits", they are both entirely and completely unarmed.
😂 🤣 🖕
It would be funny to see musk burn the reputation has with both left wing for everything he's done up to now. And the right with this fued.
Who will be left to buy his cars?
Not to mention the price is nonsense, no way reflective of their sales numbers or profits.
he can go scorched earth and directing xitter to attack trump, and primary some of the maga people in congress.
If this is real, and not some elaborate ruse to manipulate the market, I'm all for it. Fuck these guys.
Fight, fight, fight.
Does he still love Tesler?
Go trumpy tank that stock
Eh, Tesler stock value hasn't even returned to the value it had on April 8th, and even then it was only returning to the pre-election value. When Musk anounced his dark maga bullshit and inserted himself into politics Tesler's value shot through the roof. Ever since then it seems like investors want to believe that added real value. I'm unconvinced.
The true beauty of these idiots’ refusal to read a book and learn from history is: They will always eat each other in the end.
