A contrarian isn’t one who always objects - that’s a confirmist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform.
I don’t know why you keep talking about investor sentiment when that has nothing to do with what I’ve been talking about here. I’ve been narrowly speaking of Elon himself. How he feels doesn’t matter. What matters is what he does. Stocks fluctuate; that’s called volatility, and every investor knows this. A portfolio is just a stack of paper until you convert it back into cash. How you feel about that stack of paper is entirely irrelevant.

Nope, that’s not what I said. You’re building a strawman and moving the goal posts now. We’re talking about a single individual that you claim can’t emotionally handle seeing their stock value going down.
Whether Elon understands this or not is irrelevant. The stock market’s mechanics don’t change based on his emotional reactions - paper losses aren’t actual until realized through selling. Your assumptions about Elon’s mental capacity are speculative and don’t affect basic facts: Tesla stock remains up 48% over last year. If you dislike Elon, that’s fair enough, but at least understand the basics before making claims about his comprehension.
Nobody loses anything when stock prices go down unless they start selling at a loss. Tesla stocks are up 48% from a year ago. They’re only doing bad compared to 2 months ago when the price was at all time high.
I would refuse my services to them and leave. Losing an individual customer here and there doesn’t affect my business in any way.
Refering to the soldiers about to get surrounded in the Kursk region, not to the whole of Ukraine as the headline wants you to believe.
Explanation is not excuse. Personally I wouldn’t buy a car that has access to the internet in the first place.

The source of my assumptions is my mind, but sure, here you go.
A Stellantis spokesperson told Fortune in a statement that “a temporary software glitch affected the ability to instantly opt out in a few isolated cases, though instant opt-out is the standard for all our in-vehicle messages. Our team had already identified and corrected the error, and we are following up directly with the customer to ensure the matter is fully resolved.”
By pointing to this post.
What I like most about electric cars is that there’s so much less moving parts that break and need to be replaced. With a hybrid this isn’t really the case. I wouldn’t mind getting an electric pickup but they’re just way out of my price range and I don’t quite feel like getting one that’s all new and shiny because I use mine for work and it’ll eventually get all banged up anyway. Also, really difficult to find one with just two seats and a long bed.
I don’t feel like that’s the case. The cheapest used pickup available right now costs 3x as much as I paid for mine. The price difference pays my fuel for 10 years.
Does my diesel pickup truck count as protest against Tesla?
He should be someone you look up to and want to be like while he wants you to be even better.
Starship is an experimental prototype. They’ve still landed the Super Heavy booster - what, two or three times now already? Meanwhile, Falcon 9 has been launching and landing near-flawlessly for so long that we don’t even pay attention to it anymore. Is their technology perfect? Of course not - nothing is. But I still think one should focus on the bigger picture rather than letting their opinion of the CEO cloud their judgment.
It sounds like English. It’s the Brits and Aussies that I hear having accent - not Americans.
Someone most have contacted Dogde, Jeep, or Stelantis for a comment on this.

No you wouldn’t.
You could reduce your news consumption by 95%, and you’d still “know these things.” There’s no avoiding them - trust me, I’ve tried. Nobody is obligated to consume the sheer volume of news your average Lemmy user currently does. At this point, I’d practically consider it a form of self-harm. The only way to maintain anything remotely resembling a healthy media diet nowadays is by actively limiting your exposure to the overwhelming flood of information.
