The only people who care about that shit are common folk. Tesla is still doing well because those who care about money still think he’s a tech genius that will invent the next great idea - robots, AGI, space colonies - and investing in/high evaluations of Tesla is investing in Elon.

Elon’s feelings might be hurt if commoners reject him, but he’s still going to have plenty of friends and opportunities. Once you’re wealthy, your social circle stops being about other personal values and become entirely about money and power. Which he still has plenty of.

Most people vote Conservative because they are afraid, and are drawn to leaders that seem strong, powerful, and promise to destroy or protect them from the things they fear.

They might’ve been dumb enough to be tricked. Now they’re too afraid to admit they were. They’re in too deep, and they’d have to sacrifice standing, community, stability, and their understanding of their place in the world if they were to admit they were wrong.

That’s too scary. Most of them aren’t too dumb to understand, they’re convincing themselves because the alternative is too horrible for them to admit.

Like please, I want some good news, and Moral High Ground does not count

It also gained a ton of market value before the election, when Musk’s relationship with Trump was announced.

It’s ‘nice’ it’s lowering at all, but last I checked it was lowering to pre-announcememt levels, it’s just flattening out the surge. A return to normal of you will.

Haven’t checked for a while so maybe now it actually IS lower than it was in July. But not by ad much as the post-inaugeration stats make it look.

Tesla hasn’t lost that much value… yet.
