Free Speech Absolutist doesn't just "allow" free speech on his platform, he's once again shown he "supports" free speech off his platform as well.
In a move more characteristic of autocratic regimes like Russia and China than the United States, the long-running Boston band the Dropkick Murphys have had their account on X (formerly Twitter) suspended, after a series of aggressive comments directed at President Donald Trump, his sidekick Elon Musk — who acquired the company in 2022 — and their followers.

The band’s singer, Ken Casey, has a long history of going after Trump, but after a series of comments directed toward MAGA supporters at the band’s concerts and, most recently, an interview on the left-leaning news platform MedasTouch, the group found its account suspended late Monday.

TSLA back down below pre-election levels. Still about 226 dollars too high if you ask me, but at least there’s progress.

If he keeps up his antics he'll either be booted out of the company or it will indeed go down to the minus.

We will soon see stickers on Tesla's saying: I was able to buy this because Trump and Musk ruined it.

Funnily enough I have been seeing quite a few more Model 3's popping up in the area I live in over the last month. Though it isn't too surprising given that this is central Ohio, which is not only one of the reddest of red states but also an area where nobody really gives two shakes of a dead skunk's tail about what you're driving.

I presume that what I've been seeing are secondhand cars snagged by people who had been sitting on the waiting list for some time, so that likely means more orders cancelled, more new inventory sitting around unsold and less money going into Musk's pockets, all of which I'm perfectly fine with.

Oh yea? Well the new Tesla Roadster will be able to do 0-60 in less than a second and is only a month away, and they can make 60,000 cars per day as soon as 3 seconds from now. So there!

I wouldn't trust Chinese EV's anymore than I would trust Elon !
Don't buy into the propaganda from either side !
Chinese internet is pretty well controlled, but a few stories of just how bad Chinese EV's are still manage to escape.

There certainly aren't that many Elon fans in the EU and they still came to the conclusion that China was dumping EVs on their market; nevermind that the effective outlawing of them from the US and Canadian markets happened before Elon bought his presidency.

Did you just preach not to "buy into the propaganda" before stating your own propaganda in "but a few stories of just how bad Chinese EV's are still manage to escape."

I'd be quite interested in trying a Chinese EV and making up my own mind, as a lot of "influencer" and YouTubers will have their own bias that they share as an "honest" review, as well as leaning in to the perceived social opinion as that makes their content more likely to be viewed.
 
Axios: Tesla stock falls even further after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick went on TV to urge Americans to buy it
Axios
Lutnick's recommendation came as one of Wall Street's most bullish Tesla analysts sounded the alarm on the company's future.

"Lets call it like it is: Tesla is going through a crisis and there is one person who can fix it....Musk," Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives wrote in a research note Wednesday night.
"As someone who is a core bull and believer in the Telsa long term growth story.....I loudly urge Musk and the Board to step up, stop being silent, and help resolve this crisis forming at Tesla," Ives said.

Sounds like he'd help rally the stock price more by stepping down and starting being silent.

They're getting much more common as the orders get filled. That number doesn't seem to far-right-fetched.

Agreed. I now see 2 or 3 of them over a week. They are still atrocious looking despite more people purchasing them.
 
Elon Musk is more like Thomas Edison than Nikola Tesla, which is ironic.

He’s more like what if Revenge of the Nerds characters were evil, irresponsible and thought there will be no consequences for their actions.
