Oh Elon he's such a kidder. Errr I mean Bullchitter. LOL (BLOOMBERG) Sorry. Elon Musk, who had a very public falling out with Donald Trump last week, regrets some of the social media posts he made, saying “they went too far.” The dispute—which was triggered by Musk’s opposition to the tax-cut bill Trump is pushing through Congress—posed a threat to the billionaire’s wealth when the president raised the prospect of cutting off his government contracts. Tesla investors can relax a bit; the company’s shares rose in premarket trading. Speaking of Musk, the Tesla chief executive officer set June 22 as a "tentative" launch date for its robotaxi network, posting that the date may shift because the company is “super paranoid about safety.” The service has suffered a series of delays over the years.
I also saw a recent post about some recent pivotal improvements, but this means a complete re-training on HW4 Elon said. Apparently it will be ready in a few months, of course.
Everyday the news just keeps getting worse for TSLA. Tesla US registrations slide 16% in April, new data shows Tesla weakness in the US mirrors cratering European sales, stemming from CEO Elon Musk's political activities and new competition. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesl...ide-16-in-april-new-data-shows-142207040.html Tesla Drivers Sue Elon Musk for Turning Their Cars Into "Extreme" Right-Wing Symbols https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-drivers-sue-elon-musk-right-symbols
I still have a hard time believing Musk thought going MAGA was going to help his brand sell more cars. I think a combination of arrogance & his ASD malady finally got to him. I do remember he was pissed at governor Newsom during the pandemic for not allowing him to produce cars so he up and left for Nevada & Texas. That was probably the final straw for him. The problem is that the renewable energy YUPies are the ones that buy his car not rural whites.
Elon's a unique individual with pathological mental issues that make him both brilliant and unbearable. He doesn't care right or left, he just wants to remove all roadblocks to his entrepreneurial endeavors and protection rules mostly come from the left, although Trump is showing us all what the right can do. At this point he has damaged the Tesla brand beyond repair. The only hope for investors like me is high profits from upcoming projects and long overdue ones, FSD, Semi, taxi and maybe bots to compensate for falling auto sales.
Although he took HQ to Texas and built a plant there as well, if I am not mistaken, Cali still is his number 1 production facility worldwide. So he hasn't cut off his nose to spite his face in that regard.
