It's depressing how much headlines can deceive. This is /r/politics all over again, with the most "technically true" statements that get people excited but the results you expect from reading the headlines will never come

Tesla stocks skyrocketed when Musk looked like he was unoficially elected as the new president. Now that he's got all the files he needs via Doge and he's backing out, they went back to normal growth.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 4 points 30 minutes ago (1 children)

The issue is less that they've returned to normal growth and more that they have lost countless future sales. This is only the beginning of Tesla's woes.

Sure... Maybe... People have short memories. Over a million people died and tons of people voted to reelect Trump.

Gee, I wonder if he will get so depressed he tops himself?

End of Tesla. Let's do it.

[–] dgbhxi@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Unbelievable that TESLA's shares skyrocketed after this catastrophic earnings.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 18 minutes ago

What's also unreal is the stocks going up whenever Musk makes a promise. He just now said he foresees total self driving by year end. Even a casual observer like me has seen him fail to deliver, again and again and again.

Guess investors know this and also know the stock will bump whenever he lies. No one thinks they'll be the one left holding the bag.

[–] Uppp@lemm.ee 2 points 28 minutes ago

it is called market manipulation; any other company stock would have plummeted after such report; it is a meme stock

Let's bring the bourgeoisie down before it's too late. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Accountability for the traitors to humanity.

Mush is an easy target. We're have a harder time getting a handle on Bozos. We need some spine in the government that can tax some fuckers.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

Bezos has a really tall hedge around his house. Tough to get in there.

Never nude, pants down!

HAHAHAHAHAH!

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no, I feel really bad for him... Anyway....

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Why feel bad for him? He did it to himself. I feel bad for the workers who are probably gonna be fired, but that's about it...

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

It's the text for a Meme where the person feign caring for him but moves on quickly.

[–] YourBrainOnScience@lemmy.world 69 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, he did make a prediction before the election that the DOGE cuts will cause some financial pain.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully he shorted Tesla.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Wow, imagine how rich he could be if he did that!

[–] KiloGex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago
[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago

But consequences aren’t supposed to affect him. That’s why his identity is wealth.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago
[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 26 points 4 hours ago

Too. Fucking. Bad.

[–] rustyricotta@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 hours ago

That's what you get for earning value with memes instead of with true quality. It won't last.

From community description:

From acts of everyday kindness to large-scale philanthropic efforts, from individual achievements to community triumphs, we bring you news that gives hope, fosters empathy, and strengthens the belief in humanity's capacity for good.

Are you sure this one fits in? Why, of all the communities, choose this one specifically?

[–] MtMcK@lemm.ee 58 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

Because Elon being made miserable is something that most other people would consider to be uplifting - I know it certainly made me happier to read it

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

My opinion here, but I think schadenfreude is actually a rather negative and toxic emotion that should at most just be tolerated, if not discouraged. It's a kind of vice, it might feel good in the moment and in small doses but it's ultimately harmful over time and shouldn't be made habit. Like, there's no net positivity added to the world through schadenfreude, it's a crabs-in-a-pot type mechanism. I guess I just don't think we should be conditioning ourselves to feel glee at anyone's downfall, even our enemies.
