Economy WSJ reports Tesla is looking to Replace Elon as CEO

[KaNesDeath]

I'll be surprised if they do. Stock is still up an no one else can inflate it like Elon.

 

[KaNesDeath]

Who wants to give a reason to justify the terrorism that's hurting Tesla?

Vandalism to the Tesla brand didnt cause their sales to plummet. Elons 180 on social and political issues alienated the customer base he built up over the previous decade.

Leftists / Democrats have not only terrorized dealerships, but private citizens at their homes and in public.

You don't think that hurts sales?

now everyone can see why trump let elon stand over him while he sat weakly at his presidential desk.

give everyone the impression musk is in charge and let him take ALL the heat for doge.

trump is a master con man and a master brander. he just used musk up and spit him out like he does nearly everyone he gets in contact with.


still it could not happen to a shittier person. im glad and i hope tesla goes bankrupt over it.

i dont think it had a significant impact honestly. but you are free to try to prove otherwise.

what this is is capitalism at work and the free market correcting itself. be a cunt on a large enough scale and eat shit over it. this is all really good.

You Lefties kept telling us Trump is stupid. You need to make up your minds.

The threat of having your car vandalized or destroyed and you and/or your family personally attacked won't affect your buying decision?

Apologies.

I speak for all the southpaws on the forum when I say our official stance is:

“Trump is a fucking idiot.”

no way it is the main reason tesla is tanking. it is hatred for musk whose customer base is massively underrepresented with liberals and lefties.

he got involved with the devil and got fucked. just like you man only musk is smart enough to have noticed.

i predicted this from the start. everything trump touches is destroyed.

Take it up with your fellow clowns calling him a master at two different difficult disciplines.

i have always said trump is a master manipulator and conman. he is an idiot in other areas though.

he used musk as a shield and i called the stupidity of it while it was happening.

you yourself have fallen for the cult leader.

I’ll bring it up at the next co-op meeting. In the mean time I need you to admit that adding (he/him) was a stroke of comedy genius. I am both high and very proud of myself

 

[ShadowRun]

And then he yelled this is MAGA country and grabbed the wheel of the beast, taking control.

 

[chardog]

Makes sense. Even with his brand damaging political shenanigans aside... what's the point of having him as CEO when he splits all his time amongst so many other ventures outside of Tesla.

he's already said on the Q1 call only a few days ago that he's going to focus more on Tesla starting May, which is only a day away.

why Elon? because he's a goddamn genius, and he singlehandedly destroyed BMW, Benz, Audi, Porche in China..... the brand damage is overrated, his products are so good, even if you hate him, you'll change your mind and buy his products.

In europe, where the death of tesla was all but assured by the left



the only reason it's down is that for weeks, they werent even selling in europe....... Getting rid of Elon would be akin to getting rid of prime Steve Jobs, Robotaxi has loose ends and Optimus, the largest Tesla venture ever (30T market cap, way bigger than cars), hasnt even started.

 

[Gotosleepho]

Elon is very bad for the Tesla brand. He is a maniac, elitist, bigoted oligarch who cannot relate to the common American.

 

[PEB]

Lol Cybertruck nuts

 

[Seano]

You sucking Elon's dick isn't going to cause the rest of us to forget all the stupid shit he did to get himself into this situation.

Tell me what Elon did so bad that owners of Teslas deserve to be subject to terrorism. Interested in your thought process on this one.

April 30 (Reuters) - Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab board members about a month ago reached out to several executive search firms to find a successor for CEO Elon Musk, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussions.
The current status of the board's push, which, according to the report, was sparked by Musk's heavy involvement with the Trump administration, could not be determined, WSJ said.

Breaking news EV market is less then 20 percent in the US new car an truck now due to Muskrat. It's only 5 percent of the US drivers drive pure EV. Tesla as a brand took down the US EV market VW now the largest EV car seller in Europe.

People driving F350 are not ever going to dump them for Cybertrucks. Over 50 percent of Europeans will not buy Tesla’s with Germany hitting over 70 percent. You're not going to fix it with changing the CEO.

Now French President recommends that the EU stop buying US products and investments in the US.

"
Yes, Volkswagen (VW) has surpassed Tesla to become the largest seller of electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe. This shift occurred in the first three months of 2025, with VW seeing a significant increase in registrations, while Tesla experienced a drop. VW's ID.4 SUV also led in January 2025, unseating Tesla's Model Y.

Elon went full Elon. NEVER GO FULL ELON.

"Two hats" was by far the best performance art since "Wario"

Or maybe even "kitchen sink"

Pure comedic genius.
