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.

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.

And yet, shares are rising?
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.

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.

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.

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.
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?

Awww poor Musky Wusky is having a hard time making any friends :'(
These things do tend to happen when you admit to being a Nazi on public stage, and then lead a government organization bent on destroying American jobs, and now the party you work for is passing a budget bill that takes from the poor and gives to the ultra rich.
Get fucked, Elon.

Sales of Tesla in Europe decline 49% due to brand damage.
And how does the market react to this catastrophic news? TLSA goes up nearly 7%. Literally cannot make this up. Nothing matters, nothing makes sense. Just invest in corruption.
Things that are definitely going to happen soon
- Rocket boosted roadster v2
- Self driving taxi cabs that do not run over people
- Humanoid robots that mow the lawn and scrub the toilets
- CyberTruck for $40k and 500 mile range
I mean, Elon Musk literally promised all these things, and he would never lie to us, right?
Who could have seen this coming?? lol
Steal the election and get tossed aside. Such loyalty.
So let's get this straight. Sales are cratering, in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Elon is anti-American. Full Drive Driving is anything but. The Robotaxi program does not exist. The Roadster v2 is almost 10 years late and nowhere on radar. The Cybertruck is an 8,000 pile of junk that nobody wants.
So what does the stock price do? Go up infinitely, of course.
Apparently this clown just committed to spending the next 5 years at Tesla. Great for the shareholders, I guess, when all the value of the company is based on the hype machine of one man and nothing else.
