Holding a govt job AND private jobs shouldn't be allowed. Huge conflict of interest.

If Musk quits his outside jobs and leaves all board memberships, then he can be put up for Senate confirmation.

Or he shouldn't have any govt job.

If the regulatory environment in the US is deemed to be inadequate due to political machinations, US cars may cease to be licensable outside the US. So the US could lose most of their export market. Not just Teslas, but Ford, GM and all the rest of them.

Tesla is dropping consistently now especially with the Nazi salute. They also have to deal with BYD who will now use DeepSeek. Who in the world wants to buy that garbage now?

Telsa will not exist and it will one less business that Musk owns in the very near future.

So yet another hit piece on Musk. 

You mean there aren't federal investigations on Musk and safety regulations he's trying to ignore? The article made it up? Or is that part true but you just don't care because you're on his side?

Who in the world wants to buy that garbage now?

Me, every single day since it started going down for no reason- $10,000 worth per day,

same me who bought it all in at $150 a share after you were posting the same nonsense.

you must enjoy being wrong -as you are quite proficient at it.

It's a hit piece like every other article on JT about Trump, Musk or any Republican with influence.

You didn't answer the question, though. How is it a hit piece if it simply reports facts?

There are federal investigations into Musk, and he is actively trying to escape them.

No one's arguing about the safety or otherwise of his cars, 

Well there are people arguing about it. Namely, the government is trying to make sure his cars are safe, and Musk is trying to make sure the government stays out of his business. I don't really know how you could be on the side of "nobody needs safety anyway" on this issue.

Is this a real story? But what is really true is Tesla is down and keeps going down. BYD is going to kick them in the rear (their sales are increasing in Japan)

So yet another hit piece on Musk.

Well, Wall Street is pulling a real hit piece on Musk with their stock price. BYD is going to eat up Tesla and yes they are in Japan now. What person will want to buy Tesla Garbage now? Their stock or their cars?

Is this a real story?

very real.

What person will want to buy Tesla Garbage now? Their stock

me. You were going on about this last time when it was $150 yet nowhere to be found when I sold at $450.

when I sold at $450.

Good idea because it's going down and never going up again, especially with all that Nazi stuff as we discussed. The recent joke is the Model S is now known as the Model SS. I was an early investor and I my sold all my shares at $475 and now set for life while current holders are in a very bad situation (much like Crypto). I have zero invested in Tesla now and converted all Tesla stock to cash.

The talented people have left because their window to get rich from stock options is over. It's good we got out. Tesla is as bad as Trump Coin now. Don't buy Tesla and any shares you should sell. BYD is better and they are gaining market share in Japan. Also BYDs president doesn't worship Hitler.

Yet, here I am now in reality:

Tesla
