So does the US. Cuban embargo anyone? Americans are just upset that there's another rising power that can compete with them. American exceptionalism means only America gets to throw its weight around, hasn't Europe read the rules?
Why would the EU care that European distributors can put an American tech company over a barrel? After all, Trump has been incredibly belligerent to the rest of the world, threatening trade wars and tariffs, it's only fair that the EU hits back.
Yeah those damn stupid kids, wanting a social life and places to go in a nice walkable neighbourhood, instead of living in the middle of nowhere and having to drive 10 miles to get a pint of milk.
It doesn't matter how high-quality the product is (hint: it isn't, Teslas are famous for poor build quality), or how robust the sales are (hint: they're not, they have unsellable cars parked up in the desert that anyone can walk up and buy), if you can't make money selling them.
Tesla loses money on everything they do, they're low on cash and have big debt repayments coming up. Suppliers are putting liens on them.
Specifically, Morton was brought in because his background was privatizations.
That's not true at all, that's what Tesla fanboys have been telling themselves because they can't admit how weird is that someone newly appointed jumped ship after looking through the books. This is the second CAO they've lost in a year. This is not normal, and can't be handwaved away by fanboys. This latest one turned down ten million dollars in options. Guess the money isn't worth a spell in federal prison.
Naturally, their quoting of Morton cuts out before his line, "I want to be clear that I believe strongly in Tesla, its mission, and its future prospects, and I have no disagreements with Tesla’s leadership or its financial reporting."
This is boilerplate. He can't come out and air the dirty laundry in public because it will affect future job prospects. They always say shit like this. If Tesla wasn't fucked he wouldn't have walked in and out like Grandpa Simpson in that gif and leave behind ten million dollars.
There were not multiple entities competing to buy Tesla. In fact there were none. You're repeating lies. VW were never interested. The fact is, Tesla is on its way to bankruptcy, Musk has run it into the ground, you fanboys can't face that so spend your time flooding the Internet with lies and distractions. Every piece of negative news is 'FUD', every negative reporting of facts is a 'hit piece'. This is cult-like behaviour.
Well guess what, you can shoot the messengers all you want, you can cry 'FUD' at everyone who looks under the fridge and sees the cockroaches, you can cry about short sellers or 'pedo guys' all day to distract from the shitshow, it doesn't change reality. You can block every critic on Twitter, you can downvote every bear on reddit, you can troll Slashdot all day, it won't change the balance sheet, it won't get rid of the rivers of red ink, it won't make those thousands of unsellable RWD cars parked in the desert go away, it won't make that 14% FPY go away, it won't make those convertible notes go away, it won't make Musk's margin calls go away, it won't make the multiple lawsuits over illegal market manipulation go away.
Sooner or later the fanboys will have to face reality. No doubt when Musk announces Chapter 11 that will be FUD too.
A few quarters is too far away, they're running out of money today, have some big debts to pay back, have suppliers demanding payment, and now need to find billions and billions to build all the new things Musk has promised (model Y, pickup truck, semi, roadster, solar roofs).
And it's put them on the verge of bankruptcy, whilst producing cars 86% of which need rework, and cars being delivered to customers looking like they've been assembled in the dark by orangutans. Maybe other companies take their time for a reason. Tesla's 'hyper ambitious timeline' seems to be going back in time to British Leyland in the 70s in terms of quality and profitability.
Why would people in Silicon Valley, an area which has become the most prosperous and powerful in the world, built on the back of immigration, help an anti-immigration drive supported mainly by racist, uneducated redneck failures in failed red states who are jealous that their degree from the 'university of life' doesn't get them the same standard of living as a real degree from Stanford or Harvard?
Maybe the losers in flyover country who think 'book lernin' is for 'faggits' should make their own tech startups that can support the Pentagon and ICE, instead of living off agricultural welfare and crystal meth.
Luddites opposed new technology that replaced skilled workers with lower paid unskilled workers. What does that have to do with Apple removing ports and fucking up the screen and charging a grand to absolute mugs who have to be seen with the latest fashion accessory.
If losing part of your screen and ruining the incredibly practical rectangle shape, and losing buttons and ports, is what counts as 'innovation', then the whole industry is stagnant. At least Apple has given up all pretence of being a tech company and not a fashion company if they can remove features from their product, increase the prices, and see increased sales.
Tesla is basically propped up entirely by blind fanboyism. No other car company has 'fans' who will pay money for a car and then accept it covered in dirt, scratches, panel gaps and fucked-up paint.
The SolarCity takeover was clearly a scam to bail out Musk and his cousins who had money invested in the company. He spent billions on something that is totally worthless to save their own skins, effectively using Tesla shareholders money as his own personal piggy bank.
Why are you flooding this thread with post after post defending Musk? Are you his mum?
Well that's too bad because mega corporations own and run the Internet. They own the telecoms that transfer the data, they own the server farms that hold the data, they own the sites where everyone gets their content from.
Half an hour to beat China, but you couldn't beat Vietnam in ten years and still haven't beaten Afghanistan. What is it like being a Trump cultist? I've never been in a religion or personality cult, I've no idea what it feels like. It must be so weird being that out of touch with reality.

That's a great idea if you want to crystallise your class system so only the rich can attend the good universities.
Yes, Rockstar are clearly retarded and have no idea how to make a popular game.
Ever heard of the 'working poor'?
Why are you on Murdoch's side?
"It's not real Capitalism."
Where have we heard that one before?
Well done on the analysis, you should tell SpaceX and NASA right now, they clearly know nothing about spaceflight.
You are aware that rocket launches are fully automated? All the astronauts will do is pull the abort lever.

Except for the Tesla contractors going unpaid?
Well that's too bad because mega corporations own and run the Internet. They own the telecoms that transfer the data, they own the server farms that hold the data, they own the sites where everyone gets their content from.
But what about minorities or homosexuals? You can't expect them to move to places they'll be stared at just for existing.
You can choose to live in a country or not. At least you can vote out a government.
