Summary
Tesla reported its worst quarterly results in four years, with Q1 income down 71% and EV sales falling 13%.
Elon Musk vowed to refocus on Tesla amid backlash over his political role in the Trump Administration’s DOGE program, but analysts doubt his return will fix worsening issues.
Tesla faces eroding market share, failed products like the Cybertruck, and a coming 145% tariff on imported Chinese battery cells set to hammer the company’s battery pack business, one of the only bright spots last quarter.
Musk’s pivot to robotaxis and humanoid robots lacks credibility, and critics say Tesla has no compelling new EVs to revive growth.
He should try the Nazi salut. 3rd resets the counter.
There is only 1 way to save that business and thats for elon to get rid of it.
Nobody is going to forget whats he’s done or the fact that he is a nazi.
I think Tesla as a whole is done unfortunately. People aren’t going to forget all this BS the board of directors has allowed him to do.
That may no longer be enough. It won’t matter if people no longer boycott them but
- huge money loss in Cybertruck
- investment in robotaxi won’t pan out for years, if ever
- in US, batteries are mostly from overseas and heavily tariffed
- all the US protectionism won’t be enough if they lose China and European markets
- other companies are finally catching up, while they wasted their efforts
- semi has potential, but that’s a very conservative market and environmental regulations are getting rolled back so there’s no longer that push
There’s going to be blood at that company. A huge reset, in addition to musk leaving, is what they need
Semi is a POS designed by a bunch of engineers who have never operated a semi.
Hell - with the center-space driver’s seat, the driver can’t hand over an ID or a clipboard at a gatehouse without exiting the vehicle through the rear of the cab and walking around.
Their official stance has long been Elon is Tesla. Fuck them.
Americans famously never forget…
One thing that might help is to stop carrying around that human shield. Just a matter of time after that.
Elon musk, resign bitch.
His real decision is going to be suing everyone that doesn’t buy a tesla.
But you guys, Henry Ford liked Hitler toooooo!
Yeah that’s why all car companies and new cars, large vehicles etc should be boycotted.
Yep. Henry was a pretty big piece of shit outside of his innovations
Elon’s entire career is about creating hype with the help of his loyal sycophants and then profiting off it.
Sinking companies is the only thing I’m actually good at!
From the people who brought to you the Tesla X!
Doxing viewing surfaces! That’s right! The new Tesla tells you which cars are expensive enough to drive next to you. The rear view mirrors show you if someone is Mexican or black so you can drive faster or cut them off. Extremely useful features.
Has he considered resigning?
That’s not enough. As long as Musk owns even one share of Tesla, he makes money each time a Tesla car sells, and a lot of people including I can’t stomach that.
I might consider purchasing a Tesla vehicle if I knew Musk doesn’t get any of my money. As long as he gets even one cent of my money, I’ll buy some other brand.
The whole board and major investors condoned this. Fuck the whole brand. Now and forever. They don’t need to be redeemed if they do the right thing, we’ll be fine without them. The smart people that actually make things happen will go work for better companies.
He handpicked the board
Exactly. Fuck them.
From life…

Reinstate Eberhard and Tarpenning.
If he resigns, Tesla becomes just another car company. Car companies get a P/E ratio of 7 (if they’re well run). Tesla’s P/E ratio is above 160. Elon Musk’s “genius” leadership is how Tesla investors have convinced themselves that they’re not investing in a typical car company. If he goes, the stock tanks. But, then again, if he stays, the stock tanks because he’s clearly not a genius, and even if he was he’s an evil genius and people don’t want to buy cars associated with his brand.
Weird way to say fuck off to Mars.
There are other, indirect ways to hurt Tesla.
For example, when I call a cab, I tell the dispatcher I don’t want to ride in a Tesla taxi. And one dispatcher a few weeks ago told me I wasn’t the only one requesting that.
Tesla doesn’t need him to refocus, the damage is done. He fucked it all up trying to impress everyone at 4 chan with his nazi salutes, deal with it chainsaw performance, firing thousands of people nonchalant, etc.
As long as he’s tied to the brand in any way it’s cooked.
But he looked cool wearing the cheese head before he fucked up his attempt to corrupt the Wisconsin judiciary, right?
He had to emphasize on the Roman salute twice
What a fucking loser
Goodbye, Tesla, and good riddance. Some salutes will never be forgotten.
It’s all fun and games until your billion dollar company gets taken down.
Become a Nazi lose your company. You have been warned.
I’m afraid we need a good ryme, or a 3 word chant in order for it to actually resonate… anyone got a go woke go broke equivelant for nazi’s or white supremacists.
Go nazi go kamikaze?
go fash, lose cash
Go Fascist get your ass kicked?
Go Musk, go bust?
Die nazi
At our march they were chanting
No Nazis! No kings!
These are not American things!Good stuff.
He’s tried nothing and Is all out ideas.
Is It Elon that is wrong? No it must be the consumers!
He threw Sieg Heils and is now out of ideas
Ok, hear me out, maybe what he needs is lots more sieg heils? It worked for that mustache dude 70ish years ago, hitler.
If hitler had given up after just 2 sieg heils then not many people would know his name. Come on, Muskrat, show some belief in yourself!!
Does negging his customers count as an idea?
One thing that must be made clear to casual observers is that the Tesla stock price is still batshit crazy high.
The logic to support the price is:
Your are not buying the current company, you are buying the cool stuff Elon is making in the future.
Without that leap of faith, the price has to collapse. There is no way an electric car company will ever support even the current stock price.
There will be a tremendous amount of copium ingested before gravity hits, but the bigger fool theory will have its way.
I wonder how many people have gone broke trying to short Tesla. It just doesn’t make sense, but apparently the market has an infinite ability to be irrational.
Textbook example of “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.”

Earnings report is really bad … stock price surges! Make it make sense.
