I just dumped all my Tesla stock. It was a good run, but time to sell.

@kathygriffin On principle or from an investment standpoint?

The former is always understandable. But never make investment decisions based on emotion. Unless the business case has radically changed in the past couple months, it's an emotional decision.

I choose the opposite path. The company's fundamentals remain incredibly strong. Hence I'm focused on decreasing Elon's power via shareholder resolutions.

@nafnlaus @kathygriffin he's already stealing from SpaceX to keep Twitter afloat, it won't be long until he raids Tesla' <finger to earpiece> this just in, Musk is raiding Tesla to rescue Twitter.

It's okay though, he's made it clear to all of the image-conscious consumers of Tesla cars which side he's on.

Just like them, he's a leftist, environmentally aware <finger to earpiece> this just in, Musk is not - I repeat, NOT - a leftist. Good thing Tesla drivers tend to be conservative.

@alexhammy209 @kathygriffin @nafnlaus I am a Tesla driver but find it a quite irritating that I should somehow identify with or support Musk because of that, or be a stock owner.

@samikki @alexhammy209 @kathygriffin @nafnlaus I am afraid you're a driving advertisement. Not your fault though.

@t4hiro @alexhammy209 @kathygriffin @nafnlaus Yeah I see the point and that's what I'm so irritated about. Perhaps there should be a bumper sticker or something: "I like the car but think Elon is an idiot" :-)

@samikki @alexhammy209 @kathygriffin @nafnlaus Haha, maybe. To be honest, a few years ago I was first in line to get one. Then the pandemic hit and Elon's increasing nonsense turned me off. So I sympathise .

Perhaps upgrade to an ioniq 5. If I could justify needing a new car right now (which I can't), that's the direction I'd go. I don't even see it as a compromise.
