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 hasn’t shot any migrants from his window in the morning. Maybe shoot migrants from your window? I don’t known, that’s the part I remember most about Schindler’s list.
That could boost sales right?
Bet he regrets stopping people from burning down Tesla stores now cause he was claiming insurance for those.
He’s and the board are going to sell sell sell. It’s done.
Step down from Doge, open the files and lay bare this administration.
Offer to buyback every single Cybertruck.
Appoint a board of directors elected by Tesla employees, with representatives from each department to manage the long term goals and policy of Tesla.
Make a low cost, highly configurable electric car. Essentially an electric 90’s Civic.
Or better yet. Pay me 500 million a year and I’ll do all of this for you.
The first disassembly line to recover the materials from the swastidumpter. Ha ha!
No, no. Finally build that new roadster and trucks! :)
Maybe you could just make like a tree and leave?
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?
I’m sure Tesla gets an exemption from those battery cell tariffs.
How much that affects product price and influences consumers and the stock price is another question.
There is one very easy way to save Telsa. Musk needs leave and divest. The company can’t have anything to do with him anymore.
Well that’s guaranteed bankruptcy.
He owns 20% of an extremely overvalued meme stock (market capitalization of Tesla = almost all top 10 car manufacturers COMBINED), if he dumps them, then everyone will get margin called
And any other CEO would not be able to pump the meme stock telling the “self driving in 6 month” lie for years and years without being indicted for stock manipulation
without being indicted for stock manipulation
The SEC is dead and he has presidential pocket pardons.
Better CEO choice than Elon Musk.
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.
Elon was never the guy who made Tesla work. He’s just a rich guy who bought it and then had to be insulated from running it because his ideas suck.
The insulation had to happen with spacex and paypal too btw… This guy is not really good.
IIRC one of the big issues with Twitter was it didn’t have anything set up to insulate the business from Musk’s idiot whims.
Has he considered resigning?
Reinstate Eberhard and Tarpenning.
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.
Weird way to say fuck off to Mars.
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.
I did nazi that one coming…
🙄👏
c/angryupvote material right here
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 Musk, go bust?
Go Fascist get your ass kicked?
