Summary
Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.
Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.
Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.
Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
Apropos nothing, has there ever been an uglier name (aesthetically, aurally) than “Elon Musk”? Just say it out loud a couple of times. Does it not make you almost throw-up in your mouth a little bit?
The entire family has bad taste in names, Errol Musk… Also a jackass, but less of a large scale grifter.
