An object example of the old saying that a reputation takes a long time to build, but can be destroyed in a moment.
Even if Musk quit DOGE and blasted off to Mars tomorrow, I doubt Tesla (or Tesler and some co-presidents call it) would bounce back by much.

They are. Don't buy these things.
Apologies if this has already appeared here, I couldn't see it - though others are usually quicker to report Led by Donkeys adventures.
Is anything happening with secondhand Tesla values / saleability?

I do feel sorry for anyone that already owns one., especially if they're getting grief for owning one (unless it's a '25 plate).
This time last year Musk was an eccentric billionaire but now it appears he's a complete & utter nutter, not many people expected it. Well I didn't anyway.

I don't. Why would you want one of those shitboxes when there are LOADS of alternatives that are far better cars?I do feel sorry for anyone that already owns one., especially if they're getting grief for owning one (unless it's a '25 plate).

Tesla investor calls for Elon Musk to step down as boss
Wealth manager Ross Gerber tells Sky News that Musk's time has become too stretched and his work alongside President Donald Trump too divisive.

That's 2 reasons for feeling sorry for them then:
A) There were better alternatives when they bought them.
B) They're stuck with them even if the thought of Elon Musk makes their skin crawl.

As far as I am concerned he has always come across as a bat case.
Sheep just like jumping on the band wagon and at one time it seemed that everyone wanted to be him.
Well, the mask has slipped and revealed his true personality, which confirms he is a bat case after all.

I am sure Tesla will recover Like X has.

Maybe, it would require an awful lot of Russian bots and anti-woke climate change is a communist conspiracy petrol heads who wouldn't be seen dead in a woke electric car to go and buy a load of Teslers though.

I was reading a comments section on utube I think the other day about former Democrat voters saying why they switched, one of the most common reasons given was how quickly the establishment flipped on Trump when he first announced he was going to run. Before that he was a media darling loved by "The View" making a couple of appearances, film cameos, hung out with rappers and had a Successful TV show.
The same was predicted to happen to Musk because of reasons Trump had become untouchable. So maybe with the right marketing that may happen, I saw a clip of a Tesla lorry outpacing a diesel one on a hill yesterday.

My son was on to him, I was rather foolishly dismissive.

Don't feel bad, I've got a friend who's been properly taken in by him even after the s**t he's done!
