Yesterday evening, Tesla reported first-quarter earnings for 2025, and they were abysmal: Profits dropped 71% from the same time last year.
Musk sounded bitter on the call with investors that followed, blaming the company’s misfortune on protesters who have raged at Tesla dealerships around the world over his role running DOGE and his ardent support of far-right politicians.
“The protests that you’ll see out there, they’re very organized. They’re paid for,” he said, without evidence.
Surprisingly, being a dick pays for itself in miriad ways. Like having throngs of people actively work against your every interest, for free, because you are such a gigantic dick to everyone around you and to everything in your purview. Weird concept I know?! Maybe try being less of a huge gigantic dick to make up for your lack of having a functioning one? You could also try not laughing at the misfortune of others? Maybe they won’t all pile onto laughing about yours?! Just a thought.
