Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged Fox News viewers to buy Tesla stock, calling CEO Elon Musk "probably the best person to bet on" he had ever met.
Except for the fact that he is single handedly responsible for a massive decrease in teslas value. I would not bet on anything he touches because even if he were loved inside the US, he is now despised everywhere else.
Tesla was built on left wing progressive ideals and so was spacex, and solarcity, etc etc. Musks turn to the right betrays all of those who liked his companies for ideological reasons.
I don’t expect tesla stock to recover any time soon.
Just an international correction to compensate for the US’ Overton Window:
Tesla was built on left wing progressive ideals*
*wealthy believers of climate change.
“Left-wing” is such a polluted term now lol.
If Tesla was built on left-wing progressive ideals it would be a workers co-op focusing on quality. It’s always been a for-profit company from day one.
Not sure how he imagined a hard pivot from the left to the right was going to pan out.
Early on I was a huge fan and kept telling others he wasn’t like the other CEOs, it wasn’t about the money. It became obvious a couple years ago I was horribly wrong. The worst part is some of the people who distrusted him before now are all in.
These people are not charismatic at all, I don’t get how they keep fooling people.
Yeah at that point I was still believing his BS about how it wouldn’t be good for the employees or the company. I just got hopped up on someone finally helping stop climate change in a meaningful way.
