Revenue down 9%. That is for 3months jan-march. Arguably Musks reputation wasn't that bad in January. Will be interesting to see where it goes from here.

The thing is this is not a surprise. Tesla has missed its financial targets for 4 of the last 5 quarters. It has the financials of a company in decline. Falling sales and falling profits. And in a market ghat is booming.

After all the extremely poor Tesla results were announced, their share price is up 7.3% today.
Bizarre.

When has Tesla's share price ever had anything to do with their actual performance as a company? I'm starting to think it's the biggest ponzi scheme in history.

I guess this went up when he said they will be shipping a million units of there robot by 2029/2030.
with how far behind that is compared to some of the others on the market I have no idea how they think that will happen.

When have share prices ever had anything to do with the performance of companies? Tesla is a meme stock but it's volatile precisely for that reason and well that's just the market.
The one thing this does do is allow Musk to use his shareholding as leverage and so that's why I would never write him off personally. His ability to raise capital goes far above any other individual so Tesla will be safe in any event.
There is literally no point in investing in any car company really unless they're hot on the heels of intellectual property such as self driving, AI or something else. If you do then it's highly likely that you'll lose money.
US tariffs might be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of car companies.

All these tweets about Musk losing this, losing that, going to go bust, ruining his businesses.... Its all bullshit isnt it. Has always been bullshit and will always be so.
He's sitting next to the President of the world. Partly in charge of running the USA.... Yet all these tweets predicting his downfall, his companies going bust... They just dont reflect the truth. They're literally tweeting what people dream would happen.

Wanting other people's cars to burn and rockets with people on them to blow up?
I think this level of hate and collective mental illness is far more to worry about than Elon Musk.
I don’t think that is so after driving around the Manchester area the past couple of years. It seems you can’t go by without passing a Tesla, they are everywhere here.

If Vauxhall never built another car, I dont think anyone would miss them. Terrible obviously for those who are impacted jobs wise but the last decent cars they made were in the 90s.When have share prices ever had anything to do with the performance of companies?

Interesting on the Rest is politics US saying the next administration first task may well be to overhaul the computer systems as Musk may have put back doors in all the software to get data from the government!
