Were they like wearing shirts that said former teacher, former professor at local university, former social worker?

Inquiring minds want to know.

If it was a liberal reporter I'm sure he would have told you what to think and How to feel.

Quote from: YoDoug on March 29, 2025, 02:06 PMI saw an article the other day that was from a liberal that bought their Tesla back when Elon was still electric Jesus to the left, then a week ago their car was keyed. He was livid. The thing is, how does vandalizing someone's Tesla hurt Elon? He already got the money for the car. If anything they will take it to a tesla dealer for repair and Elon will make more money.

As for hurting tesla as a corp, they are delusional. Between the energy grid storage division and humanoid robot division, Tesla is only going to grow in value. This stock drop is temporary.

You can't reason with unreasonable, unhinged people. Like petulant children, they are acting out because they didn't get their way.

One of our tool vendors drives a tesla. Somebody scratched a swastika in to his car last week. fortunately his car took video of it. He has started carrying pepper spray with him when he drives. He told me this morning, he has voted for democrats and republicans and he doesn't really like talking politics that much, but he said, he'd never vote democrat again after this. It has really pissed him off.

I can't blame him for that. But it wasn't democrats who did it, it was a person, or maybe a few.

Elon Musk has wrecked Tesla. Not the Democrats.

It wasn't a Democrat. It was a MAGA plant, dressed like a Democrat (whatever that is) there to make Democrats look bad. In fact, it has been MAGA plants all along, planning rallies and protests, and generally goading Democrats into committing lawless acts.

Time will tell. As an investor, I feel tesla will become one of the most valuable companies in the world. People are Fickle, Tech is Valuable.

If you feel that way it's a great time to buy more. Big risk = big rewards sometimes.

Personally I feel Musk blew Tesla's big advantage and did his shareholders very wrong. He's alienated their biggest customer base and they likely won't be coming back. I doubt Tesla, because of Musk, has improved their image overseas. Plus the rest of the car manufacturers in the world have narrowed the technology divide between Tesla and other EVs.

But Tesla has historically been a great stock. Good luck if you invest more with them.

And you have proof? .............JK I don't give a poop about the politics.

The actual vehicle sales will stay flat for a while. The real value is all the other stuff they are doing. Not to mention the ability to lease FSD ro other car manufactures in the future as I believe they are 10+ years ahead. I think the robo taxi will destroy waymo and the power walls are still being built in a lot of new housing.

And to be fair, My wife Chose a Rivian over a tesla. but I choose Tesla stock over Rivians .
