Tesla's stock is an irrational, overinflated hype stock with an absurd price-to-earnings ratio and a large-shareholder CEO who was being investigated by the SEC before he dismantled it.

Considering that the stocks are used as his personal piggybank and his history of totally-not-market-manipulation-because-there-are-no-charges, I would be more surprised if the sales numbers are accurate.

Not at all surprizing. Spez thinks he's an upcoming Elon-like genius and wants to surround himself with like-minded techbros, but he's actually a massive Musk bootlicker.

I absolutely believe at least half of them are just deplorable humans.

YouTube is a cesspool on a good day. If you know where to look (such as "anti-woke" "content" creators' videos), you can easily find an overwhelming number of shitheads in the comments cheering for overt bigotry or violence against others. A recent news topic and barely-moderated videos of a non-white woman getting disappeared? They're coming out of the woodwork for that, guaranteed.

I think you are wrong, but only in the you're not thinking about the big picture.

Elon "I traced the DDOS to Ukrainian terrorists" Musk is in charge of this. Someone on Twitter (probably his alt) is going to post a conspiracy on Twitter about Ukrainian or Canadian hackers being behind it, and he's going to retweet it with some plausibly deniable bullshit like "not far off," and rally up his cult of reactionary prokaryots to demand a economic or military response. It's yet another golden opportunity for the crony collective to sweep their own incompetence under the rug while simultaneously scapegoating another country to push their unspoken-but-obvious agenda.

I also wish it didn't say that, but for entirely different reasons.

It's an ad. Paid for by a foreign government. MAGA morons aren't going to do much other than interpret it as Canada being scared and spreading lies, which obviously means it's working and Trump is doing a tremendous bigly job making Canada "pay" the tariffs.

It might get some Republican Trump voters to actually attempt to understand the consequences of tariffs, but it's going to empower the vocal cultists that live in disinformation la-la land.

To anyone with critical thinking skills, sure. Try convincing the morons who believe he's not a disinformation superspreader about that, though.

now he's just a step removed from screaming about gay frogs.

He wouldn't. He'll bring on an "expert" on "gay frogs" and start Just Asking Questions-ing off while pretending to disagree. Once Gay Frogs Gary is platformed and given some time to spout off shit, then he'll start subtly agreeing and posing conspiratorial questions under the guise of continuing his JAQing off session.

I heard that Canadians are paying for billboards saying "tariffs are taxes on your groceries" in Republican states. It's funny as hell, but it won't work—people are either too uneducated to understand how higher import costs lead to higher downstream costs, or they're too MAGA to even consider it.

Model 3K will be available next year. Using revolutionary new technologies, it will drive competitors out of town with its composite wood t-shaped suspension and high-density dihydrogen oxidization catalyst battery chemistry. Pre-orders are available today for the limited Grand Wiz edition.

The only thing cleaner is his conscience /s

Hypothetical Canadian Trump supporters:

CANADA DOESNT NEED A SMALL pp
CANADA NEEDS A BIG DONg

Knowing the current administration, it will end up just like abortion tourism... but instead of only being persecuted in red states, it will be federally outlawed.
