Maybe it was inevitable that after Tesla astonishingly made electric cars a desirable luxury item, other manufacturers with deeper pockets would _eventually_ jump on the bandwagon and ultimately overtake Tesla. But Elon has certainly made it easy for them in multiple ways - failing to innovate towards more affordable models, as well as becoming a fucking Nazi.
The huge jump Friday (4/25) was likely driven by the release of new federal regulations on autonomous vehicles that — surprise, surprise— are perfectly tailored to Tesla in various ways. Ugh.
::I’ll add that there has been some vandalism, and crime against property. I neither condone nor cheer that on. Don’t be a dick about it.::
My ex-wife used to say, freely paraphrasing Nikolai Bukharin (I think), "Once you let in a street element, the purity of of your revolutionary ideals goes out the window."
While I certainly don't condone vandalism, property damage, or violence? Trump/Musk/other Broligarchs, likely on Putin's orders, have turned America into a pressure cooker, and locked the release valve. When it explodes, it's going to be ugly and messy—and "Bad Vlad" (nickname courtesy of Prof. Sarah Paine of the US Naval War College) is the only one who will rejoice when it happens.
The vandalism of Tesla dealerships is, I fear, the first sign of all that pressure trying to escape....
No one elected him but he goes around firing entire departments as a “citizen”. I cry NOPE! Deport him, but not before you charge him with all of the lawlessness he’s done. Let him sit in prison for 15 years, then deport him.
i have been incredibly surprised at how many Tesla Cars I see on the road each time I drive. I realize that this county is affluent, but maybe it’s time to ask why people are not getting the message
I had purchased Solar City panels but when Tesla took over, the once excellent online panel portal turned to shit. Like everything Schmusk touches….or should that be torches?
I’m waiting for him to piss off the right people (trump , bannon , etc) to the point where Blondi will direct a legit investigation into all the DOGE conflict of interest actions taken to benefit him personally. We all know how loyal trump is.
I am not so sure. The damage that he's wrought to the government is what the Republicans have been frothing at the mouth to do for decades but they have been to terrified of the populace's reaction.
Now they can point at Musk and say "we didn't do this shit" and they will get away with gutting the administrative state.
Well, Nikola despite his brilliance was a eugenicist, so I’m ok with completely erasing the name.
But the “dead-cat bounce”? 🤣🤣🤣 I did not tell the kitties who wrote that, but they would instead like to offer “deer-fender bump” for your consideration.
Sorry, I have a degree in physics, and we often joke about dead cats, but we have never actually killed cats. I will try to be more sensitive in the future
No apologies needed, they’ve already drifted back to sleep. I have plenty of scientist friends and am very familiar with dead cats, yet I still feel a little guilty for laughing every time. The picture in my mind of Tesla stock as a dead cat bounce is purrfect.
Truth is, nothing dead has any feelings to hurt at that point. If I bounce one last time some day, I won’t be the wiser for it and hopefully someone will make a joke that lightens the moment.
I fondly remember the lecture in undergraduate physics about calculating the terminal velocity of a "body". The lecturer was the first time I heard the "dead cat" used, and it sorta stuck.
Thank you for this explanation. Many years ago we bought Tesla solar panels and battery. Whenever someone comes over and sees our battery, which is aesthetically beautiful but for the logo, I feel I have to explain. I’m thinking of just covering the logo up with a small poster….. 🙄
Alas, when his daughter transitioned, it broke Elon, and led to all this insanity. His purchase of Twitter, his (warm) embrace of the right wing, the torching of his reputation, all trace back to that one little insecurity.

Wah

We can never be content until Elmo’s stock hits $0. Boycott the shit out of Tesla.
This is something we can do without waiting for the inertia laden Democrats.

Doge is “probably” funneling money from us in the guise of government contracts to shore up Tesla. I have no proof of this.
Crash and Burn Starshit!

In CECOT!

We need to pass a law on proper disposal of a tesla
Has anyone told him that he’s a fascist and Americans tend not to be too fond of fascism. Neither do many other nations, obviously. 🙄

That corpse can't rot into the ground fast enough. 😄
You damn righht!

It could be this regime's first truly legit investigation.

It will take many generations to undo this damage
It will definitely take generations to fix it all. Read Heathers Letter today. It really is all about the money.

And this whole time I thought “Dead Cat Bounce” was a new dance craze.
Yep. DCB is the one that came into fashion after the dance craze known as "Dead Boids Fly Again."
lol
Still could be…

At least Schrödenger didn't kill a cat. ...Or did he?
Open the box...

Same here, and I know I am blessed to relive that every time I hear it, like a prelude to dementia where I can hide my own Easter eggs.
Say... I'm gonna try that! You buy your own presents too? I do! Like a box of... those turd-like brown things in a box ya know?
