Summary
Elon Musk lashed out online Monday as Tesla stock plunged over 15%, wiping out its post-election rally and shedding 50% of its value since December.
Investors worried about market declines, recession fears, and Tesla’s growing controversy after Musk’s far-right rhetoric and mass government layoffs.
Musk falsely claimed Democratic donors funded anti-Tesla protests and linked critics to Jeffrey Epstein. He amplified conspiracy theories blaming arson attacks on Democrats.
Despite his efforts, Tesla’s collapse cost Musk $23 billion in a single day.
Good to see the mainstream media finally (sort of) calling this what it was instead of tiptoeing around it
Given how litigious Musk is, I think that’s as good as we’ll get.
Doubt it to prove libel or slander he would have to somehow prove it wasn’t a Nazi salute and it was specifically to hurt his reputation and not simply you know… News.
Only to get views. Tomorrow they’ll be bending a knee again.
out of curiosity, can you explain what physical stance has only one knee bent? Like, a lunge…? Genuinely new to this expression.

“Bending the knee” means kneeling before (usually) royalty. It’s a physical representation that the person standing deserves respect and therefore the person has lowered themselves to the ground on one knee.
Ah I see. I think you can understand my confusion though – this guy has two knees bent, both at almost the same angle.
