distantsoundsHow many eggs for that tessera?
alxmgIt has to be bad if they resort to trying to sell EVs to climate change deniers.
Maybe this is secretly how they save the environment. Coal rollers switching to EVs. And Putin launching the nukes causing a nuclear winter. Global warming solved.
This looks like an SNL sketch. People keep expressing sympathy for the onion writers, but really, how does one even parody this? Just shot for shot, word for word something a satirist would come up with.
50 years ago, the president advertising a product probably would have lead to investigations
Now it barely makes the evening news.

It did, but he got the VP nom anyway. And he went on to fundamentally reshape the Republican Party over the next twenty five years.
Heck, no need to go back 50 years. If Biden did it there’d be backlash. Trump was right about being able to shoot someone and not losing supporters.
I remember they were ready to impeach Obama for wearing a tan suit.
These guys and suits… and of course musk can wear his t-shirt and no one says shit.
Oh, but Vance had a lot to say about Zelenskyy not dressing up in the WH. Buncha dorks. 😂
I read that as Vsauce and wondered what happened to Michael.
This looks like an SNL sketch.
Ohh, I kept waiting for something funny to happen, but now I get it - it won’t.
:D
Honestly, every time I see an SNL skit recently that mimics one of the latest events I keep saying this is sad because as crazy as they get, I feel like the real event was so much crazier. The skits just make me sad because I’m just being reminded of how fucked we are.
Reporting trump doing nice things for liberals is how they should approach it. IMO.
SNL have been getting alot it lately with all the material they are getting from trump admin.
This is basically what killed South Park in 2016. Trump became president and you can’t even parody that, because You can’t think of anything more absurd. Except maybe electing him for a second time.
I figure The Onion just has to full on go the opposite direction.
-Trump Returns Funds to Ukraine: Turns Back on Russia.
-Functioning Government Returns to the United States
-Democrats Embrace The Left
Headlines no one could believe and stories about things basically working like they should.

The richest man in earth for now
The cool thing about being a trillionaire is that you can fall a long, long, long way and still be the richest man in the country.
Doubly so if you drag everyone else down with you.
It’s insane that both of them think this will help…
They truly don’t understand that the vast majority of Americans fucking hate them. And the ones that do like one of them, already like both.
Zero people will have any change of opinion because of this.
Dementia and Ketamine have bad effects taken together
Please let murder/suicide be one of the side effects
Sadly, that’s largely attributed to Methamphetamines. At least in a historical context with fascists.
They truly don’t understand that the vast majority of Americans fucking hate them.
Do we know this for sure?
Oh, it will help. Elon can afford to tank the losses from share price fall, then he’ll grab loads more with a discount and there will be an eventual rebound. And then we will have the very first trillionaire in the world.
I guess one of the reasons for Musk to murder Twitter shares was to test how effectively he can tank the financial damage and still ride it out before going full nuclear on his companies.
Reminds me of one British twat called Humphrey Smith, who owns all companies as unlimited and tanks all legal expenses himself so he can do whatever the fuck he wants with them and with staff. Oh, he also owns a town and does whatever the fuck he wants there too.
At some point, the bill is due. If the stock isn’t producing dividends, then it’s a growth stock. If the stock stops growing, or balances back to reality with their ledger sheet, then they’ll realize the growth isn’t happening because their sales are dropping like a rock, their market penetration is negative, and nobody wants to buy a vehicle associated with an actual, real life, Nazi who’s spent the better part of the last 3 months making everyone in the world’s (and especially American’s) lives a living hell.
Tesla was massively overvalued because Elon had people convinced he was a genius billionaire inventor who was going to turn Tesla into a “Energy” play. Also, he wasn’t a Nazi manipulating world governments, forming up DOGE, firing thousands of government workers, causing planes to crash, endangering everyone’s lives, and threatening to get rid of one of the very few good things to exist in this country: social security and medicaid/care.
Nobody has a crystal ball to the future, but I seriously doubt the Tesla stocks will make a rallying cry to get back to even close to where they’re at. At least not without a subsequent sell-off.
There’s just too much risk and volatility without any profits. And in the April 22nd-29th (whenever they choose to have it that week) earnings report, we’re going to see a real bloodbath of a growth stock that’s been overvalued by hundreds to thousands of a percent which fails to produce dividends or payouts to their shareholders, having a sharp, sharp line down for their quarterly earnings, with another quarter doing the same, and the one after that, etc.
It will crater.
The market can remain irrational longer than we can remain solvent, sure. But it eventually corrects. Even if it takes a recession/depression to trigger that.
Oh please. Ford was an anti-Semite and a Nazi with a Grand Cross of the German Eagle, people were staging boycotts, he went on trials and yet a century later his company absolutely dominates the US car market.
I’m still wondering, do they have an advicing team or something like that or do they just always act on their own, on instinct ?
Because if they do, it’s either they never listen, either the advisers are at least as delusional and that’s even more baffling.
potoooooooo ✅️They’re surrounded by ball-gargling yes men.
Please let this sink the stock even more.
It definitely won’t help. “The most unlikable person on earth being associated with our brand is tanking our stocks, what do we do? I know, well ask the second most unlikable person on earth to help.”
CosmicTurtle0 [he/him]Yeah…I fully predict there will be a TARP bailout for Tesla.
One of the only times I’d put Trump at #1, because he’s just such a #2.
Americans electing a used car dealer to the Presidency is, frankly, the fate we deserved.
Heh, Trump reeks of used car salesman energy.
Well, yeah. Remember the string of bankruptcies and unpaid workers who he stiffed?
jballsHe seriously was bring a car salesman. A photographer got a shot of his taking points.
It’s not like it’s a surprise. Remember how he did a photoshoot with a can of beans, because the owner of the brand said he liked him?
No. What?
I had thought this was a photoshop. WTH.
its not, you can see the hands are very small
Is that a can of eggs?
I think it’s coconut
Oh. I thought maybe they had canned ones now.
There are pickled eggs, so maybe?
Right. There you go. Now we’re thinking outside of the carton. We’ll find a solution to this egg problem.
its coconuts.
Cream of coconut.
Is it required for him to look evil?
He tries but rarely succeeds.
Stopped eating Goya products because of this.
Same. Haven’t bought anything Goya since. Once i looked into them it was clear i probably should have stopped long before they endorsed trump but better late than never
our bougie grocery chain stopped carrying this after he did this.
Trump finally caught up with the versions of him in the parallel universes where he wasn’t born of a rich family and is now a car salesman. Just like the universe intended.
In the best universe, his mother’s abortion didn’t fail so spectacularly.
selling crappy cars to dumb people is probably the role that suits trump the best.
ZarathustraSurely the solution is to double down and take another round of special K to feel better?
