Is Elon Musk Nuts? by SIGNYM

The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League rebuked Elon Musk on Thursday after the MAGA billionaire joked about the Holocaust amid the blowback over his evocative salute.

But after Musk’s jokes Thursday, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt seemed to have enough of it all. In a statement directly addressing Musk, he wrote:

“We’ve said it hundreds of times before and we will say it again: the Holocaust was a singularly evil event, and it is inappropriate and offensive to make light of it ... @elonmusk, the Holocaust is not a joke.”

Adolf Twittler finding out… Musk is rediscovering the Lindell-Effect

"Tesla is likely to benefit from the rollback of Biden administration policies that favored unionized automakers. But it is hard to see how these benefits will be big enough to allow Tesla to grow to have annual after-tax profits of $75 billion or more, which would be needed to give the company a price-earnings ratio of 20 and a market cap of $1.5 trillion.

"Thus, while anything can happen in the short run, I expect that Tesla stock will under-perform in 2025 and beyond, as the market becomes disappointed with Tesla's inability to grow profits to $75 billion a year."

Why would profits not grow? Could Musk's Nazism be at fault?

Yeah. I don't know if he thought that one through.

Only idiots buy EVs, and most of them vote Democrat.

It's not the far right though. It's just normal people.

You're still looking at things from the perspective of your warped fantasy world that you thought you were living in that no longer exists.

Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK

EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla.

By Jonathan M. Gitlin – Feb 5, 2025 9:10 AM

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2025/02/tesla-sales-plummet-in-the-uk-fra
nce-and-germany/

In France, sales of new Teslas fell by 63 percent with EV sales dropping just half a percent.

Germany was already looking like lost ground for Tesla—its 41 percent drop in 2024. That must make the 59 percent drop in German Tesla sales recorded during January 2025 even more painful on the profit and loss statements.

Large declines have also been recorded in Sweden (44 percent), Norway (38 percent), and the Netherlands (42 percent).

The behavior of Tesla CEO Elon Musk could be to blame for much of Europe's distaste for his cars. Lately, Musk has repeatedly inserted himself into European politics to create friction and promote his far-right causes. Over there, at least, it seems car buyers may be sick of him.

Tesla brakes fail. Tesla sued the car owner because the owner publicly complained that the brakes failed. Elon Musk is never wrong and he will sue you if you say he is wrong.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/her-parents-were-injured-tesla-01011103
0.html

BEIJING (AP) — Zhang Yazhou was sitting in the passenger seat of her Tesla Model 3 when she said she heard her father’s panicked voice: The brakes don’t work! Approaching a red light, her father swerved around two cars before plowing into an SUV and a sedan and crashing into a large concrete barrier.

Stunned, Zhang gazed at the deflating airbag in front of her. She could never have imagined what was to come: Tesla sued her for defamation for complaining publicly about the car’s brakes — and won. A Chinese court ordered Zhang to pay more than $23,000 in damages and publicly apologize to the $1.1 trillion company.

Zhang is not the only one to find herself in the crosshairs of Tesla, which is led by Elon Musk, among the richest men in the world and a self-described “free speech absolutist.” Over the last four years, Tesla has sued at least six car owners in China who had sudden vehicle malfunctions, quality complaints or accidents they claimed were caused by mechanical failures.

America’s Most Hated Car (The Tesla Cybertruck)

Bill Haskell | April 5, 2025 4:39 pm

https://angrybearblog.com/2025/04/americas-most-hated-car

“Your average MAGA Trump supporter isn’t going to go buy a Tesla,” McDonald, the EV analyst, said. Before the car shipped in November 2023, Musk predicted that Tesla would sell 250,000 a year. He hasn’t even sold one-fifth of that in total—and sales are falling. (Neither Tesla nor Musk responded to a request for comment.)

Musk made a lot of other promises that haven’t really panned out: The Cybertruck was supposed to debut at less than $40,000. The cheapest model currently available is double that. The vehicle, Musk said, would be “really tough, not fake tough.” Instead, its stainless-steel side panels have fallen off because Tesla used the wrong glue—and that was just the most recent of the car’s eight recalls. The Cybertruck was supposed to be able to haul “near infinite mass” and “serve briefly as a boat.” Just this month alone, one Cybertruck’s rear end snapped off in a test of its towing power, and another sank off the coast of Los Angeles while trying to offload a Jet Ski from the bed.

The Cybertruck, in that sense, is a perfect metaphor for Musk himself. The world’s richest man has a bad habit of promising one thing and delivering another. X was supposed to be the “everything app”; now it is a cesspool of white supremacy. DOGE was billed as an attempt to make the government more nimble and tech-savvy. Instead, the cuts have resulted in seniors struggling to get their Social Security checks. So far, Musk has only continued to get richer and more powerful while the rest of us have had to deal with the wreckage. Let that sink in, as he likes to say. The disaster of the Cybertruck is not that it’s ugly, or unconventional, or absurdly pointy. It’s that, for most people, the car just isn’t worth driving.

then Navarro he was smart for the time but now its an outdated move, maybe Dumber Go To a Public type World Trade War, was in jail a while and currently the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for U.S. president Donald Trump, , Navarro wants to take on the Mexicans and became a key official behind Trump's imposition of tariffs on Canada

If You Lie With DOGE You Get Fleeced

By Paul Krugman / Jun 11, 2025 at 5:34 AM

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/if-you-lie-with-doge-you-get-fleece
d

I have to admit that even now I’m not sure how the Donald Trump/Elon Musk breakup will play out. We’ve seen so many Trump critics eventually cave, engaging in humiliating acts of self-abasement, that it’s hard to be sure that even Musk — who has a monstrous ego, but whose business interests can be badly damaged by a vengeful president — is immune.

But one indication that this breach won’t be easily resolved is the pace at which anti-Musk stories are being leaked to the news media.

I was especially struck by reports of a confrontation between Musk and Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary. We have solid reporting of the fact that the two men fought over the choice of acting IRS commissioner, and that Bessent won. Unfortunately, our only account of what happened next comes from Steve Bannon. But that story is almost too good not to be true.

According to Bannon, after the meeting the two men began exchanging insults, with Bessent pointing out that Musk had promised to find trillions of dollars in wasteful spending but come up empty. “You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud,” Bessent supposedly said. At that point Musk body-checked the Treasury secretary, who hit back, and White House staff had to break up the fight.

Is this story plausible? Is the world’s richest man so lacking in self-control that he would behave like a hopped-up adolescent in the White House? Of course he is — that’s the completely plausible part of the story. I’m a little more skeptical of the portrayal of Bessent as someone willing to speak the truth that bluntly.

But in any case what Bessent supposedly said was completely true. Musk is a total fraud. He failed to deliver on his promises of huge deficit reduction. In fact, DOGE almost certainly lost money. There’s no evidence for many of the cost savings it claims, and the “receipts” it has provided are full of misstatements and errors. And the disruption it caused almost surely cost taxpayers more than any minor savings it may have found.

Furthermore, its depredations have left both the federal government and the nation as a whole degraded and weakened in ways that will take years to reverse.

Of course, you shouldn’t expect anyone in the Trump administration to admit that DOGE was a complete, costly bust. These people never admit being wrong. But if you look at what is actually happening right now, there’s clearly a frantic effort at de-DOGEification. The Washington Post reports,

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.

The people DOGE installed in federal agencies appear to be losing most or all of their influence now that they no longer have a patron with the president’s ear, and it appears that at least some of the young tech bros Musk tried to put in charge of government programs they didn’t understand are self-deporting.

Oh, and if you think I’m being disrespectful by making fun of the Muskenjugend, consider what we’ve learned about the U.S. Institute for Peace, which DOGE took over for a while before being forced by the courts to give up control. Returning workers reportedly found the office full of cockroaches and rodents, with leftover marijuana and empty beer bottles strewn about.

All of this was completely predictable. Well, maybe not a fistfight in the White House, but anyone who knew anything about how the federal government spends its money knew that DOGE would fail.

To repeat the old line, the federal government is basically an insurance company with an army. Musk made a brief stab at going after the insurance side, with his ludicrous claim that millions of dead people were collecting Social Security, but aside from that all of DOGE’s efforts were focused on where the money isn’t — nondefense discretionary spending (NDD).

Was this small segment of the budget bloated and full of waste? Hardly. As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities documents, NDD on the eve of Musk’s arrival was historically low as a percentage of GDP:

And if you look at the major categories within NDD, nothing stands out as an obvious waste of money:

Or maybe I should say, nothing looks like an obvious place to make big cuts unless you think it’s a good idea to slash spending on international affairs — largely foreign aid — along with spending on science, environment and medical research. The Trump administration is indeed making big cuts in all these areas, but not because they involve waste and fraud. Instead, the goal seems to be to undermine U.S. influence in the world and destroy U.S. scientific leadership.

In any case, none of this has anything to do with the massive savings Musk claimed he would achieve by eliminating waste and fraud.

So how could he have made such foolish claims? After all, Musk is a brilliant businessman, creator of fantastic products like the Cybertruck. Oh, wait. https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-problems-cybertruck-trump-mus
k-feud-89501946

But the real point isn’t Musk’s personal failings. It’s the falsity of the whole claim that the U.S. government wastes vast amounts of taxpayers’ money. Of course there’s waste and fraud there, as there is in any large organization. But the federal government has in fact historically been a well-run organization, with many dedicated workers doing their jobs as best they can despite often being paid less than they could earn in the private sector.

Then Musk marched in, told these workers that they were worthless and pushed many of them out. He was wrong, and now he’s gone. But after the way they’ve been treated, the best federal workers are probably the least likely to return now that even the Trump administration is beginning to realize that it needs them.

America will spend years paying the price for Musk’s fraudulence.
