Research firm Escalent finds trend where European car buyers would prefer buying a vehicle from China rather than from the United States. Stating, "...it does appear that European buyers tend to think of Chinese BEVs as being more trustworthy purchases."

Elon pumpin' the stock, buys 2.57 million shares worth about $1 billion.

Probably the best thing Elon has done for Tesla in the past year
Trying to pump is own self net-worth now that Larry Ellisonis #1
A bunch of people on Polymarket are celebrating the Robotaxi rollout in Austin, but the underlying data points to this being a company in deep distress. The current valuation of Tesla is irrational, and IMO absurd. Tesla's market share has plummeted to a near eight-year low, dropping below 40% for the first time since 2017, as international rivals with newer, more attractive offerings are eating Elon's lunch.
This declining market share is a direct result of the outdated product line. The Cybertruck has proven to be a flop. And the refreshed Model Y isn't enough to satisfy demand for new models. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's political antics and his questionable focus on Robotaxi are alienating the core customer base and diverting attention from the fundamental business - making sexy cars real people actually want to buy.
The EV industry itself is facing a slowdown and increased competition, which has forced Tesla to cut prices, in turn squeezing its once-lucrative profit margins. The proposed $1 trillion pay package for Musk, which is contingent on an $8.5 trillion valuation, is a fantastical bet on a company that's failing to innovate in its core business. The confluence of brand damage, market saturation, and a lack of compelling new products suggests the massive correction we've all been looking forward to inevitable.
I know this company defies gravity, but there is simply no way for the market to continue acting irrationally forever. This has to pop.
Stale lineup, DOA cybertruck, dismal service, and a CEO who has now alienated just about every demographic possible. The fact that Elon is still a part of the company at all is mind boggling.
The thing is Tesla is still the best electric vehicle maker available in the US. This is true in terms of range, performance, and price. Sure the designs are dated but people still want all those other things more, not to mention the Supercharger network.
The real problem is Musk. And there is an easy way to fix that.
Don't want to be a party pooper, but this comment seems to be generated by AI.. and I'm seeing more AI comment like these on this platform recently (very long comments with zero grammar mistakes) .. Is this acceptable?
The board approving this $1,000,000,000,000 pay package for Elon Musk so completely insane it defies belief. All of this to "incentivize" a person who already tanked the brand with political rants and appears more focused on other ventures. Like becoming the #1 tweeter of all time. The company's sales are tanking in key markets, and they're facing increasingly stiff competition from more affordable and better designed EV's, especially from BYD in China. This isn't a pay package, it's a marketing ploy to get people thinking Tesla is worth trillions. It isn't.
$1 trillion dollar pay package for Elon is just proof that he's the GOAT. You haters can't stand it but the board knows what's going on, you gotta keep the best player in the industry MOTIVATED. This is a game changer for Tesla and all of us holding shares. I just bought more $TSLA and gonna hold forever.
That would be an additional 15% dilution.
Although at the required $8.5 trillion market cap, I don't think shareholders are going to mind...
There's a much better chance of $TSLA going to $0 than eight _trillion_
Well, well, well, look what we have here. A brand new day, and a brand new reason to be highly suspicious of the TLSA hype train. The company's grand debut in India is a total flop, and China sales are taking yet again, proving that their "unmatched demand" is a fairy tail. With European sales already a lost cause, the only thing keeping the stock afloat is the promise of some future robot that may or may not ever make money. The news is just another nail in the coffin for the EV giant's delusional growth story, and anyone still holding onto TSLA stock is officially gambling on a sci-fi fantasy, not a real business.
Because it's Tesla, calls it is.

Tesla is calling it quits on its famous Dojo supercomputer team, and Peter Bannon, heading up the project, is leaving the company.
Apparently Elon has ordered the project to be shut down as the team has recently lost about 20 workers already to DesnityAI.
Calls it is?

Most likely Elon is going to have Tesla buy xAI at some obscene valuation, and combine all his AI projects under one roof. Never mind the part where xAI was given the GPUs that were originally intended for Tesla's autopilot program, so now Tesla is running on outdated hardware.
Tesla shareholders rejoice as they will be paying Elon "only" $29 billion instead of the original $50 billion, and only if Elon stays on as a key executive through 2027.
For those keeping track, that's 2.9% of Tesla's entire current market cap. On a single pay package for Elon. At least he's at the office 5 days a week and focused on nothing else though, right?

Crazy how people are excited about a remote control robot handing out popcorn. Like, we haven't had that technology since the 80's?
Musk Suggests Tesla Shareholders Will Vote on xAI Investment
Elon wants Tesla shareholders to approve an investment into his other company, xAI, to the tune of $5,000,000,000. Of course, Elon directly owns about 75% of xAI, so that money will be going straight into his own pocket, at the expense of significant share dilution to Tesla shareholders. Seems like something they would eagerly approve.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/202...
Would like to have some insight on the xAI finances. Seems like money is being poured into the company and lit on fire.
Didn't have "integrate the self described 'MechaHitler' AI in all Tesla vehicles" on my bingo card. Elon now says Grok will be included in all Teslas starting soon. Gotta justify the expense to investors somehow.

Elon Musk will now Oversee Tesla's European Sales after sacking Omead Afshar
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/musk-oversee...
At some point the Tesla board has to realize Musk is the problem, right? ... right? People in Europe hate Musk, like a lot.
He could swing by Germany and give them one of his famous salutes.
Trump is now threatening Musk with his own DOGE team (!)
> No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!
What a timeline to be alive in.
Tesla executive Omead Afshar (and one of Elon's personal confidants) has left the company. Or at least, his name has been quietly scrubbed from the Tesla company directory, and nobody is willing to comment on the matter.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/202...
To put things into perspective, all these roles at Tesla stepped down in the past few months
- head of software engineering
- head of battery architecture
- head of Optimus project (the robot)
And the inevitable happens - the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now reviewing Tesla's Robotaxi program after the failure of a launch this past Sunday in Austin. Tesla paid influencers to livestream their initial reactions to the program, who ended up recording and publishing numerous traffic violations being committed by the autonomous vehicles.
Interestingly the NHTSA emphasized they do not "pre-approve" autonomous vehicles, but rather they are a purely investigative service - only looking into things after an incident has occurred.
This hasn't stopped TSLA from spiking 10% on the launch, of course.

Believe it or not, calls! :D
In a shocking turn of events, Tesla fails to meet RoboTaxi launch date of Jun 22nd, instead launching a service with "safety drivers" in each vehicle. Bear in mind Waymo spent a full decade operating vehicles with a safety driver before finally switching to fully autonomous operations. Maybe Tesla can catch up real quick though.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradtempleton/...
I'm confused, how is this different from a normal Uber/Taxi?
Wonder how long it takes before Elon blames the city of Austin for mandating the safety driver. Not that FSD actually works at all. It doesn't.

Tesla announces pause of Cybertruck and Model Y production

Can't wait for the June 22nd launch of the Robotaxi /s
Ah yes, definitely not trying to hide anything. Like maybe the fact that the Tesla Robotaxi doesn't work and the whole thing is a scam to inflate the stock price.

> Tesla Moves To Block City Of Austin From Releasing Robotaxi Information
> Recently, it has asked a federal judge to prohibit NHTSA from releasing data about crashes related to the use of Full Self Driving and Autopilot systems. Also, it is pressuring the city of Austin not to disclose information about the robotaxi trial that is just days away.
https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2025-tes...
Four separate Tesla vehicles operating with FSD experienced crashes between late 2023 and mid-2024, all occurring under conditions of reduced visibility. The first incident in Arizona tragically resulted in the death of a 71 year old woman when the FSD system was reportedly confused by sun glare. Subsequent crashes in California, Virginia, and Ohio also happened in low visibility situations like fog or dust, highlighting a recurring challenge for the FSD technology in adverse environmental conditions.
lmfaoo $TSLA crashing because Musk and Trump are finally crashing out over one another. Just goes to show this company has not been worth its valuation ever since the election.
Only one direction to go from here, and it ain't up.
Trump is actually saying he should cut contracts with all of Elon's companies. This is so much more juicy than anything we could have hoped for. Absolutely warms the heart <3

> Tesla shows no sign of improvement in May sales data.
Looks like Tesla is now experiencing significant business challenges, including a huge decline in global EV sales during Q1 and extending into Q2. This is happening in markets like Germany, the UK, and Italy. They're facing stiff competition and pricing pressure, especially in China where BYD is stealing the show. Tesla is also now dealing with increased cost of production, due in large part due to Trump's tariffs.
Must fight escalates with threat to unseat any Republican who backed Trump bill
https://www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-threats/
Lmao the two egomaniacs finally start fighting each other. Musk is intensifying his opposition to Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" which he criticizes for increasing taxes on low-income earners while failing to curb government spending. Musk publicly slammed the bill as an "abomination" on Twitter/X. He then issued a direct threat, stating that "In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people", seemingly targeting Republican lawmakers who are in support of the bill.
New report indicates new-vehicle registrations in France have fallen 67% from the previous year, selling just 721 cars for the entire country in May. This is the lowest since July 2022, despite the rollout of the Model Y, the companies most popular selling vehicle.
Tesla is gonna rally hard, I can just feel it.
Tesla is supposed to be launching in Austin this month, but they haven't even coordinated with city officials yet. Shocking.
> But key groups—including Austin’s transportation department, Austin’s emergency first responders, and federal regulators—are still missing important information about the self-driving machines set to imminently hit the roads of the Texas capital.
Cue Elon complaining about government overregulation in a few weeks when they still have nothing to show for the Robotaxi other than the staged commercials.
https://fortune.com/2025/05/26/tesla-robota...
Maybe some positive news for TSLA stock - "For the past several days, Tesla has been self-driving Model Y cars on Austin public streets with no incidents. A month ahead of schedule. Next month, first self-delivery from factory to customer."
With all the Waymo cars driving autonomously around Austin I think it's been proven the technology is possible. But with how poorly FSD has performed all these years ... not sure I'd want to be on the same road as any Tesla with no human scape goat at the wheel.
Also, "ahead of schedule"? Didn't Elon promise self driving capability "in about 2 weeks" back in 2019?
