***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Looks like the crook got his reprieve. Now the only question is does he embarrass himself by running as a Republican because he knows he won’t win a democratic primary, or does he have enough sense to step down and go scurry into the shadows. I actually think he has too much self awareness of his own blackness to become a Fox News Analyst, so his options are limited on staying relevant…. Though I could be wrong.

He threw up the salute because he’s autistic?

He’s speaking at AFD rallies because he’s socially awkward?

No, I am not saying that.

I'm saying wearing a nazi shirt is not equal to driving a tesla. I don't expect to convince you of my stance and I'm certain you can't convince me of yours. But that's a wild reach, imo.

It's as much of a reach as the people who say if you listen to R. Kelly you must agree with children being preyed upon and should be physically assaulted.

Agreed, totally rational thing to do is buy yourself an office in the White House and fire all fed employees because

He’s been trying to buy his way in government for years, been anti labor for years and been a racist for years.

We don’t have to agree but I think people should spend their money elsewhere with a less problematic car company.

I never defaced a Tesla, I simply don’t care and it’s amusing. Not something to clutch pearls over.

There’s a lot of auto ceos who don’t go to neo nazi party pep rallies and throw up nazi salutes. Pick one

If I wore a shirt with a Swazi on it I’d expect to get punched in the face. Driving a Tesla is no different.

The average Tesla driver is a habitually online person, there’s really no excuse to plead ignorance. He’s been open about his politics forever.

We are going to see more and more of this I’m sure.

I’m not saying you’re the victim, I’m saying the people who will inevitably cry when their Tesla gets ****** up.

1. It's the best selling electronic car, assuming every Tesla owner is equivalent to some wearing a Nazi shirt is insane. Lots of regular *** people with Tesla's.

And given the charging infrastructure advantage Tesla has over other electronic cars it might be the only reasonable option for someone concerned about the environment and wants an ev.

2. I'm not clutching pearls, I just think it's unbelievably corny. People can do what they want, i just personally think it's super lame.

[keko jones]

Now that the heat’s on and you’re being investigated, you’re out here publicly trashing your own party, hoping for a lifeline or a pardon for being a loyal lapdog.

Looks like the crook got his reprieve. Now the only question is does he embarrass himself by running as a Republican because he knows he won’t win a democratic primary, or does he have enough sense to step down and go scurry into the shadows.

Even a blind man saw this coming.

Tesla’s profits slide over 70 percent in the fourth quarter

Tesla says more affordable models are coming.

www.theverge.com

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Tesla said it earned $2.3 billion in net income on $25.7 billion in revenue. That represents a 1.9 percent increase year over year compared to $25.2 billion in revenue in Q4 2023 and a 70 percent decrease in net income. (The company’s net income in Q4 2023 includes a one-time non-cash tax benefit of $5.9 billion.)
Analyst consensus predicted $27.26 billion in revenue, according to an average of estimates compiled by LSEG. For the full year, Tesla said it earned $7.1 billion in net income on $97.7 billion in revenue, a 6 percent decrease compared to 2023.

Tesla said it sold $692 million in regulatory credits to other automakers in Q4, representing about a quarter of its profits. For the full year, it sold nearly $2.8 billion in credits, but Trump has said he wants to kill California’s emissions program that allows Tesla to rake in these credit sales.

Musk will just use the money saved from Medicaid to offset the regulatory credit losses.
