No, but he clearly gave two ****s about what they thought.

There’s a certain respect to be had for men who braved the unknown in craft built back in the slide rule era.

*I will refrain from saying the punchline - but under great duress because it’s an epically good punchline*
I don't see what's revisionist about acknowledging that Elon cared about the opinions of men he considers heroes.
98% of the public is misinformed and 2% probably are TMCers that post in this thread.
People are untra sensitive about everything Elon says and quite often are swayed by the media narratives. This is a fact and would be nice if enough if people did their own research.
Another complaint from my friend’s wife: When Elon was asked about tax rebates I think he said something along the lines of “Government should not provide any subsidies/tax rebates for EV cars” and he is a bad man for trying to kill “competition” now that Tesla is self sustaining. Pretty sure this came from a politician or news media and she was just regurgitating what she read or heard.
Little does she know the context of the question which was about how much money government was printing and why it is bad for fiscal policy. Can’t fix stupid.
Another recent story:
Friend: Dude, I heard Tesla’s been issuing a lot of recalls.
Me: Do you know pretty much all of them are over the air updates?
Friend: Really? Then why do they call them recalls.
Me: NHTSA blah blah blah….
No. Europe wants a level playing field with respect to carbon taxes between local production and imports. Local production needs to pay CO2 taxes in proportion to their emissions, while this is not or much less so for imports. The new taxes will pull up the paid emissions taxes on imports to the same level as local production. This should remove the unfair advantage of imports from countries that have no or little emission taxes.
This is totally different than the IRA, that subsidizes local production.
Yeah, the period that TSLA was overbought doesn’t count, but the period that TSLA was oversold sure does count.
It doesn’t work that way.

Absolutely stellar.
Puts that whole Wired article to shame.
Pretty much nobody I know uses Twitter here in Europe, they're all on FaceBookCompletely disagree…and I have many friends in those locations you just listed. Twitter isn’t even that popular in a number of those countries…..UK? Are you kidding me? A extreme leftist in the UK would be considered a moderate independent in the US. Europe doesn’t care about US politics and the left or the right. They especially don’t care that much about Twitter
Even more of them are completely unaware or seriously don't care about Elon's politics
They just want the best car, which judging by market-share is still Tesla right now
All that being said, I wish he'd put a sock in it, because I do think it's being used by the bears, shorties, Hedgies, Wedgies, MM's, as an excuse to pile-on the stock
I just sold my free-SuperCharging, Free Premium, Full FSD, full-spec 2016 XP100DL+, will let you know how the MXPlaid experience compares
Guys who drank the patron are gonna have a bad hangover
Gone are the days when news like this would move the SP up … it seems
So let me preface this once again that I wish Elon would lay-off the politics and the petty name-calling, although as others have pointed-out, it's nothing new, just feels to have ramped-up since he bought Twitter - it's almost like it's his personal platform now, which is a little scary, IMO and might have ramifications going forwards
But what I find astonishing is that many of the "I'm selling my Tesla" crowd, are looking to buy VWs - so they don't like Elon's tweeting, but they're OK to buy a car from a company that wilfully and intentionally cheated with their emission, damaging the health of both them and their loved-ones, and everyone else on the planet - plus they seem to forget that the company was literally formed by Adolf Hitler
People are hypocrites, simple as that. They all complain that Tesla uses cobalt and manufactures in China, whilst tweeting from their China-built iPhones... unless you live in a cabin in the woods, most of the things in your home will have something "bad" behind them of you look deep enough
It's all virtue-signalling from a noisy minority that's being amplified by the media and TSLAQ. If we do get demand issues, it won't be because people don't want the cars, it will be for economic reasons or form-factor

Seems like Leo really feels the heat now, he is kept ranting at Twitter right now. The premarket of TSLA isn't helping either (Although premarket doesnt mean sugar now given the environment) Hope better day comes for Tesla

You're asking the wrong person. I actually LIKE it when investors leave TSLA because they think Elon is misbehaving! Why? I think market rewards people who are non-judgmental about superficial things that don't matter in the bigger picture. I think people who think Elon has been "misbehaving" are really out in left field and I'm happy to see them go. It makes the remaining body of TSLA shareholders that much more pragmatic and less judgmental. I am not a fan of the new woke movement and the kind of thinking that powers it and I think most people who are offended by Elon's candor tend to lean towards that side of things. I have no ill will towards them, but I am happy to see them go. The market is a big place and thinking we need every last person to be a TSLA investor to carry out Tesla's stated mission is misguided thinking. In fact, people should not invest in management they don't believe in because it will only create conflict within themselves. And no amount of financial gain is worth that. Moving on is the right thing to do for these people.
I can only imagine how much better our system would be if every CEO, and every person making big decisions and leading teams to create a better and freer tomorrow, were as candid and honest as Elon. Elon has not changed, and his results don't lie. People who think the current share price is the result are putting too much emphasis on things that are not real. I give Elon all the leeway he needs to be himself because he has proven he deserves it, he's earned it, and that's something he shouldn't have to give up just because his life work is a very public affair. Judge him by his ability to make change happen. There is plenty he could do to make me lose confidence in him, but I find it baffling why some people think he's crossed that line for themselves. But I strongly believe that's a very individual thing and it's important these people remain true to themselves and do what they feel is right for them. I actually like the fact that he flips the bird at convention while continuing to show other CEOs, how to run a business.
