The American Oligararchs - All things Elon, Jeff, Tim & Mark

Erykah Badu has said that she vandalised her own Tesla car, just to keep on trend, by adding her name to a growing wave of protests against the company’s owner Elon Musk.

To be honest, I've never heard of her.

She's an r&b/soul singer, I've not heard anything from her in years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CPCs7vVz6s

Canada has suspended over 43 million Canadian dollars in electric vehicle (EV) subsidies for Tesla and will exclude the company from future government programs, citing escalating trade tensions with the United States.

Elon Musk is reducing his role in DOGE. This is in response to Tesla sales falling.

Yeah, 'cos Tesla sales are falling, that's why he's leaving.


Nothing to do with the fact he's totally failed to save the 'trillions' of dollars he promised.
Nothing to do with the fact his incompetence often targetted the 'wrong' people to fire.
Nothing to do with the fact many of his 'money saving' schemes have been challenged in, and stopped by the courts.
Nothing to do with the fact most of the rest of the administration hates him and is no longer afraid to let him know that to his face.

At this point, his greater involvement in Tesla is likely to do it more harm than good, so go for it Elon, hopefully it'll all come crashing down faster than one of your mars rockets

^So on Tuesday, Elon did a Q1 earnings call.....
Some 'highlights"
A 20% drop in auto revenue
Net income for the quarter was down 71%
The earnings call was after the market closed for the day, but After Hours trading went way up during the call
Investors sure like pumping money into his schemes
Or they are glad his "comedy" is legal again
