    Tesla Sales Fall 45% in Europe Amid Musk's Political Meddling

    Tesla Inc.'s sales plunged 45% last month across Europe, where rival
    carmakers saw a surge in electric-vehicle demand.

    The Elon Musk=led company registered only 9,945 cars in January, down
    from 18,161 a year ago, according to the European Automobile
    Manufacturers' Association. EV sales soared 37% for the overall
    industry, with carmakers posting big gains in Germany and the UK.

    Ha ha ha, go choke on a bag of dicks, Musk.

    Can't wait to see if sales fall in the USA too. I'd expect they would -
    ballsy move to driving around in a cyberwiener these days.

    Tesla stock is way overpriced.....if buyers perceive an
    anti-sentiment, this stock will be toasted.

    That billboard (hoarding) is not located on Pollard Row (?as suggested
    at top of it?), but maybe somewhere else in Tower Hamlets.

    This is very interesting! The europeans would rather destroy the planet

    Investors are now warning Tesla stock could lose 50% or more of its
    value this year as it continues to tumble.

    Musk is still the wealthiest man in the world but he lost 7 billion
    today, about 2% of his fortune.

    On another note

    Apr 29 2022

    Elon Musk will be the most indebted CEO in America if the Twitter deal
    goes through
    ...
    ...
    According to his SEC filings, Musk's financing plan includes $13
    billion in bank loans and $21 billion in cash, likely from selling
    Tesla shares. It also includes a $12.5 billion margin loan, using his
    Tesla stock as collateral. Because banks require more of a cushion for high-beta stocks like Tesla, Musk will need to pledge about $65
    billion in Tesla shares, or about a quarter of his current total, for
    the loan, according to the documents.
