Because they make lifestyle products, not good EVs.

Elon said investor are mistaken. It's not an ev company. Tesla is an AI company.

No way it can be an AI company, clearly, because if it was an AI company that would mean Musk is intentionally diverting necessary resources and talent from Tesla's core business to build xAI. Shareholders would hate that!

Shareholders would hate that!

Shareholders hated that so much they just voted to give Elon Musk $50 Billion in shares.

Yuuuup. Please mr Elon here's another gazillion dollar bonus, and of course, take some nvidia chips with you as you go. Wouldn't want ya getting unmotivated.

Yep, as long as they keep enabling him the quality of products will get worse until it all comes crashing down. Maybe it can still be salvaged after, but I don't see it going well.

Don't you love the idea of Tesla using the car you own to do cloud computing without paying you?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wait is he really doing that?

Elon said something to that effect. But its all bullshit like everything else Elon says.

Still, its crazy that Elon said that, and that none of his supporters caught how dumb of an idea it was.
