Fun Fact: Liberals absolutely LOVED Musk and his cars not more than a few years ago.  Couldn't stop buying them.  They were status symbols for all liberals who wanted to virtue signal. Then, all of a sudden, they didn't.  I wonder what changed?  The cars and Musk didn't change at all.

Looks like someone realizes the brand got hurt. Help out Peefoam!

The cars not changing at all is also kind of a problem

Sure, pal.  Sure.  You go with that if that's what helps you cope with your hysteria.

You were making the argument that the brand has suffered. Which was my point as well with Peefoam.

I did Magnum PI! It was a great car. Now I have a different car (the circumstances were unrelated to Elon) but would now give thought to buying another Tesla.

Just a little anecdotal evidence not particularly important compared with all the brand research and sales figures to my point the Tesla brand has been tarnished.

You are dumb and a creep

Yeah, not the typical effeminate liberal, unrelated circumstances.

Coming from the Bud Light crowd this is pretty funny

Anyhoo…we’ll see what Tesla has up their sleeve. I’m not really rooting for them or against them in particular. If Elon is promising some big feature though and people are investing in that buyer beware!

Tesla is going to go bankrupt.   The damage is too great to recover from.  
 

Good luck finding spare parts in a couple of years.

[Horseman 2,427]

Within 5% of all time highs.  

Increased number of shares 3 times because of the volatility.   

Way ahead. I like this type of environment, too easy taking advantage of the panic sellers.

All the plastic crap from China is going up!  Oh no. Now youre going to have to pay $1.89 instead of a $1.79 for those plastic nose rings your boyfriend likes.  

Why aren't the climate idiots all over this?  You know what happens to your plastic recycling?  We ship it to China so they can make more plastic crap to sell us.

How do we know for a fact that these companies are raising prices "due to tariffs" and not just to increase the CEO/Corporate bottom line? 

I mean, a local hairdresser that I know posted on her FB page that her prices are going up "due to tariffs." 

Yes, seriously.

I remember when Kamala said that some prices were being raised due to greed and people called her stupid and a communist.

I remember her as simply being labeled as stupid. And rightfully so.

The slow drip of bad news continues.  Walmart and target raising prices.  No trade deals in sight. Debt rating downgrade.  CEOs like Jamie Dimon, investors like Ray Dalio all warning that this economy is not right.  30 year treasuries over 5%.  The government adding more debt. Oil around $60.  Just not looking good out there.

Well, if the prices you pay for everything goes up due to the tariffs, then one would expect those who buy those goods would raise the price of the services they provide accordingly (hairdressers pay for the items they use in their trade, such as hair dye, etc.).

Trump tanked the market again today. MAGA celebrates it as good, because their cult leader did it. 

Get a clue dopes. Ruining the country so your idol and his friends, which doesn’t include you by the way, can get even richer. He needed you dummies and you came through for him, and now he doesn’t care about you. What a surprise
