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.

      “L’état, c’est moi,” so anything he doesn’t like is illegal.

      Especially considering the Anheiser Busch (or however it’s spelled) boycot over someone else’s gender identity.

      The ones yelling “Snowflake!!11” for a decade turned out to be crybabies. Who woulda thunk.
